I went make up shopping and got lots of stuff from Bare Minerals. I've never used their line before, but have seen plenty of their infomercials showcasing women's skin before and after shots. They look trustworthy, and state that they are great for sensitive skin - which I have.
I have REALLY sensitive skin, and that is why I generally don't wear makeup. I'm hoping that with this new line, I'll be able to wear it on a more regular basis.
On my first visit, I received a bag (to put my product in), a facial cleansing demo, makeup, and a makeup demo. Since I have never used Bare Minerals before, I bought a starter kit. It comes with your personal foundation color (which you and representative will pick out), "Warmth" a blush/bronzer, a mineral vail (to set your foundation), foundation primer, a starter guide, and 3 makeup brushes.
It was not suggested (since I am so new to make up), but I got anyways, an eye shadow kit. It's called "Star Treatment". It has black, gold, peach, light yellow, browns, etc, and it comes with duel brushes (one for eyeliner, and the other for eye coverage). The kit also came with eye primer and an instruction pamphlet that gives you 3 eye shade looks.
I opted for a lip gloss over a lip stick because I wanted something that will compliment my natural lip tone rather than overpower it. Surprisingly, the orange lip gloss the representative picked out went great with my complexion. It's called "Party Starter". I would normally pick out a deep red lip color for myself, but I am very glad that this time I let someone else choose!
Outside of the kits, I also selected a loose eyeshadow color. It's called "Turquoise", and I LOVE IT!!! When I saw it on the spinning table, I just know I had to have it.
The representative at the store was really nice. She gave me a sample of their cleanser and moisturizer just in case I wanted to buy them later. She also did a makeup demo with me to show me how to apply eye shadows properly, and made a guide for me, so I don't forget later.
