bareMinerals Original Mineral Foundation | Review

Hi readers! :)

I've have finally come around to testing the bareMinerals Foundation i bought a while back.

I put it on in the morning before going to school, and I've had it on all day and also during a party we had at school.

Coverage Blemishes/pimples/hyperpigmentation

It covers decently, but you can still see some of the blemishes and hyperpigmentation I have. But overall it evens out my skintone well.

Here's a shot of my face, half with bareMinerals on and half without, there's a significant difference.

Half and half

Full face of make-up

After 3 hours the foundation has set and it looks natural and smooth.

3 hours

After 8 hours of wear the foundation around my nose was pretty much melting off, since I have a very oily T-zone I've always had a problem with that area, so it doesn't supprise me, I fixed it with a little mineral veil and it was good to go.

8 hours

After 14 hours total (totally beat, went straight to bed after removing this!) the foundation held up pretty well, considering I danced a couple of hours too, in a very hot room!

14 hours

Of course my blemishes were more visible after a full day, but to me that's a natural thing after that many hours.

So all in all I recommend bareMinerals to everyone who wants a natural product with medium coverage that melts into the skin and looks like your own! I love the product and it's gonna be a staple in my make-up bag!

I hope this was useful to you guys!
What is your experience with mineral foundation?

Current Picks | bareMinerals

Yay! Yesterday I received the things I ordered from BeautyBay, the bareMinerals Start Kit in Light + the Exfoliating Treatment Cleanser.

The packaging is really nice and it feels like a little present.
I ordered it wrapped as a gift and it's definitely recommendable, if you need to send someone a present!

The start kit contains...

2 samples of bareMinerals Original Foundation in Light and Fairly Light 

Prime Time Foundation Primer 

All Over Face Colour in Warmth - to give color back to the face 

Mineral Veil - to finish of your make-up like a setting powder.

+ 3 brushes...

 Full Flawless Face Brush

Flawless Application Face Brush

Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush 

...and to make sure you use the products to the max there is a DVD to guide you.

I can't believe how much cheaper the products are online compared to in the stores. The Start Kit is around 1000 DKK in stores and only 370 DKK online and that's a significant difference when you are a student! It is much cheaper than if you buy the products by them selves. Just the brushes cost around a 1000 DKK if you buy them separately.

 Can't wait to start using the products and see how it works for me, and my skin. I still have some products that I didn't use up yet, so patience is needed.

I hope to do a review on the products so you guys can get something out of it too!

Happy Wednesday :)

Missing last Sunday

I really miss the Sunday I spend with my Fiancé last week. We ate lunch together and had coffee at a nice café - Espresso House, shopping, and just had a day to ourselves, we don't have so much time for that normally, so it was really nice. That really contrast to the lack of sleep and heaps of assignments this week, but hey that's how it is to be studying ;)

Picture with the parka on, and the new bag that i use a lot!

Close Up with BareMinerals on 

I went to Åhlens before lunch and asked them to try the BareMinerals Foundation on me, since my skin has been acting a little up and I need some coverage for the engagement party. What do you guys think?

I personally love the result, it matches my skin-color as much as possible and covers pimples and blemishes nicely with a minimum of ingredients, the fact that it's natural and doesn't contain any oils is perfect for oily acne-prone and sensitiv skin. 

Beautiful view on our way home!

Well i better get back to class :)

Enjoy your Wednesday
