Has anybody tried this? Its that mineral foundation and its absolutely brilliant!! Emma and myself got some few weeks back and Im very very impressed, the cover it gives is totally amazng.
Expensive but a little goes a long way so will last ages, I think in the long run it will wrk out much cheaper that the other foundations I used to use.

Hi Erin,

Yes I have used it, it is very good. Eyeshadows are excellent as well - small pots that last a long time.

Also QVC sells it, and they have a try before you really decide type policy - as long as you return it - even used they will refund your money (minus postage) so if you want to try a set (they do some good offers on there) if you don't like it you get your money back.

Its brilliant isnt it Emma, it was QVC where we first saw it and found it John Lewis so brought some. I really mpressed and definately converted!! I suffer awfully with my skin, which does knock my confidence alot, but the cover this stuff gives is amazing, totally flawless, next best thing to a chemical skin peel :lol:

It is brilliant, you say you suffer with your skin? in what way? I have very oily skin and Bare Escentuals really helped to make it a lot clearer. A few people have actually been surprised when I tell them I am wearing it as they thought that was me naturally!!! (yeah right!) and they have been converted as well.

Also it is just sooo quick to do.

I didnt realise it was that old, i thought it was a new product, damb...I could have been using it these past 3 years!! :lol:

Yes I get very oily skin and do get breakouts of acne on my chin, I hate my skin, if I could afford a skin peel I would get one lol

I think it has been out in the US for a long time now, it was the original mineral makeup. Only really now making it's mark on the UK market.

There is also a website which is quite interesting.

They also do free samples :)

The US site is sometimes worth a look as you might see new products they are bringing out.

I would be interested to hear after using it for a month or so how you find your skin, mine is so much better now.

just read over on the US site that they have introduced a matt foundation, that would be good!!
