bareMinerals Skincare Review and Giveaway
Last week I told you about bareMinerals new skincare line and how excited I was to try it out. Now that I have has a few days to review two of the products in the new line, I can’t wait to get my hands on a couple of the other products in the new line.
There are eight products in the new line. I was sent the Deep Cleansing Foam and the Purely Nourishing Moisturizing to try.
The first thing I tried was the cleanser, and if you are looking for a serious clean, this totally the product for you. Be sure to heed the warning to use only a small pearl-sized amount because less is truly more. I thought I had a small amount the first time I used it, but I still had WAY too much. (This tube is going to last forever!) I love how well this cleanser lathers up. It starts as a cream and foams into a smooth cleanser. I am a huge fan. My face felt so clean without feeling over dried. It might be too much for morning and night, but it makes a great nighttime, makeup-removing face wash.
I wasn’t as impressed with the moisturizer as the cleanser, but too be fair, prego me couldn’t get over the scent to really try it out. I have even had my hubby stop using his face stuff that he has used for years since becoming pregnant because the scent makes me ill. So it very well could be my fave scent once I am not pregnant anymore… Only time will tell on this one. I will say that it was very lightweight and non-greasy, so I was a fan of those aspects. (Plus it comes in a cool bottle.)
As I mentioned before, I really want to try the Blemish Therapy. According to the website, it fights acne with sulfur not salicylic acid like most acne products, and it is applied like the bareMinerals foundation so I am very curious to try it. And based on how much I like the Deep Cleansing Foam, I’d also like to try the Skincare Purifying Facial Cleanser as well. Perhaps one for morning and one for nighttime.

Rethink What Matters – bareMinerals Giveaway
Earlier this week I was introduced to the “Rethink What Matters” campaign by Bare Escentuals, and I can only wish I learned about it sooner!
I discovered Bare Escentuals in my own life just after my daughter was born. I had been wearing the same foundation since high school, but Cover Girl stopped making it. At first I was frantic, it worked for so long, and I hate change. But then searched for a new solution. I have to admit, it was a TV infomercial that first got me to consider Bare Escentuals.
I have moderate adult acne that plaques my life. At first I scoffed at the idea that a powder could cover all of my blemishes, but I was sucked into the TV. It looked like it really covered… With a new baby in my life, I was searhing for more and more natural products. I was instantly in LOVE with the natural mineral idea.
I started asking around, did anyone I know use bareMineral makeup? Yes, my close friend and my sister-in-law both gushed over how much they loved the product. So when I came across a free trail of bareMineral foundation at Ulta – I was all over it. I think the flyer with my makeup said something like, “Try it for 10 days and you will be hooked.” I was hooked in 1 day. I loved how light it felt on my skin, and I was amazed that it did cover everything! Within a month I went from trying the foundation to using the whole line as my sole make up line! (I converted my sister too!)
I wish I could say it never cakes up, but I slather it on heavy in problem areas (such as my chin), so it does tend to gather there. But a little tissue dab and quick swipe of reapplication and my skin is smooth once more.
Alright, now that I have gushed about how much I love Bare Escentuals products, let me tell you about its new campaign and how you can WIN!
The Bare Escentuals line was born from employees rethinking makeup itself – the beauty brand found looking good is not about using artificial gunk to cover imperfections, but about enhancing what you’ve got. Every week at RethinkWhatMatters.com, a new discussion topic will be featured with five questions for you to answer and share with your friends by email, Facebook and Twitter. What’s in it for you? Well, good karma for one. And free products and other fantastic goodies. Plus for a few really lucky ladies, an even bigger reward that will definitely make rethinking worth your while.
Each time you take the weekly quiz you are entered to win an automatic prize, even if you don’t win that you are also entered to win a grand prize! So head over to RethinkWhatMatters.com right now to take the cute quiz and see if you are an instant winer.
Want more chances to win? I have a bareMinerals SPF 15 foundation (in the winner’s color choice) to give away to one lucky winner. (Yeay – maybe I will convert you too!) Here is how you can win from TheSuburbanMom (feel free to leave a separate comment for each entry to increase your chances of winning!):
Entry 1 – Take the Quiz and leave a comment telling me what you thought. (mandatory)
Entry 2 – Follow me on Facebook and leave a comment telling me you follow.
