Stopped at the Bare Escentuals Store

This past Friday, since I had the day off from work and stopped by the Willowbrook Mall to visit the Disney Store to get toys for my toddler.  Before getting there I stopped into the Bare Escentuals store and took a look at an eyeshadow I’ve been looking at for a while called Denim.  It’s  beautiful, vibrant and highly pigmented, royal blue minearl eyeshadow and I love it.  I didn’t buy it because I had already spent enough money on other stuff, but I just had to go swatch it.

I’m almost out of foundation and I was going to pick one up, but the salesperson there told me about a new foundation that BE is coming out with called, Bare Minerals Matte. The description says, “New Bare Minerals Matt SPF 15 Foundation infused with RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex“.  That sounds all good and everything, but I’ve sampled RareMinerals and didn’t like how it dried out my breakouts and turned them white.  The dry out part is good, but the turning white part isn’t.  So the RareMinerals dries out my breakouts which makes them hard and they hurt even more when I try to squeeze them.  I know I’m not supposed to squeeze my breakouts, but I can’t help!  So there.

This new foundation comes out in about two weeks the salesperson told me.  I’m going to try it out and see what this Matte does for me and to me.  If I don’t like it, I’ll be going back to my regular Bare Minerals Foundation and Bisque.  Here is a picture of the sample pack which comes with a description card and a mini buki brush.  The back of the description card says, “Free Baby Buki Brush brush $15 value with your purchase of Bare Minerals Matte SPF 15 Foundation…“  I hope I like this sample so I can get my baby buki brush! :p
