 ick! October 18, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I used to really love Bare Minerals..... until I found out about the ingredient Bismuth Oxychloride. At first my face LOVED this stuff. But after a few months of using it I noticed that when I wore it my face would be itchier then usual. I also started breaking out a LOT more then usual. It wasn't until I did some investigative work that I found out about that Bismuth ingredient and how heavy it is on your face. The whole reason you have to BUFF the makeup on is because the Bismuth Oxychloride is so heavy that it needs to be PUSHED into your skin. I noticed that my makeup felt and eventually looked like it slid off my face BECAUSE of how heavy it really is (you wouldn't think it was a heavy makeup being that it's mineral powder!)
I stopped using this stuff and IMMEDIATELY saw a difference in my face. It went from being ruddy looking to clean and clear and glowing. I switched my makeup to Alima Mineral makeup and WHAT a difference! For one thing you don't have to BUFF the stuff onto your face, and I feel you get SO much more powder for the price (Which is about the same as Bare Minerals!) The whole reason it feels like you get so much more is because you use a lot LESS! I LOVE Alima Mineral Makeup!

[ASIN:B000KI8J00 Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit Light/Fairly Light]] This is how to get started and it is so wonderful that you will be hooked.
It is cheaper to buy in kits, but after you start using these products you will have to have more and more colors and products. I have been using these products for 6 yrs.... I will never go back to creams.
Wonderful for sensitive skin. Light and Easy to use August 30, 2008
Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil, just one of the line of BE products is a very light powder that cuts out the shine, is not perfumy, is extremely good for sensitive skin and extremely easy to use. Buy it and try it.
Natural minerals but CONTAIN PARABENS!!!!!!! August 24, 2008

Parabens are a group of compounds widely used as a preservative to give products a longer shelf life. Parabens are absorbed through the skin from your moisturizers, powders etc. & have been shown to mimick estrogen effects in the body which play havick on your endocrine levels which regulate your hormones & thyroid. Measurable concentrations of six types of parabens have showed up in biopsy samples of breast tumors. Infact 20 out of 20 tested showed levels of parabens. They are not sure why but are now doing extensive research to see if there is a link between this preservative & cancer. These parabens are used in SEVERAL drugstore & department store brands. Clinique, Estee lauder, Hope in a jar, most Olay regenerist lines, shampoos, Neutrogena daily conditioner, underarm deodorant, Etc. Etc. Even my maybeline great lash mascara. Please read labels & research for yourself. There are other alternatives that these companies can use but until the FDA tells them they are for sure harmful, they will continue to use them. Some companies have already stopped using them & are printing "Paraben free" right on their label. Brands like Boscia & Juicy beauty found at Sephora are Preservative/Paraben free. Educate yourself & a friend. The last place I thought to find them would be in something natural like Mineral veil. I don't believe their foundations have it but the Rever up does......
 Absorbs oil, does not flake, makes your face glow...what more does a girl need August 5, 2008
They say that mineral products are better for your skin as they don't harm the skin and let the skin breathe naturally as opposed to more oil based cosmetics. That's nice to have but the mineral veil had to really excel as a cover-up product before I'd spend any money on it. But the good news is that it actually works.
The veil is composed of very fine corn-starch which helps with the oil absorption and smoothing out your skin. You have to get one of those kabuki brushes and really blend in the powder on your face after you're done with applying your usual lotions and foundation. The more you blend the better it looks. The trick is to take a very small quantity and blend it in till your face starts to glow. It makes my face look brighter yet not made up at all and it absorbs the oil to keep away the dreaded shine.
The only downside to using this product is that the proper blending takes more time than just throwing on some lotion mixed with a little foundation after washng my face(which is what I usually do). This is done in addition and adds 2 minutes or more to my routine. So although it makes me look good, I usually don't spend the time to use it except on special occasions.
