Beauty Deal of the Week!
1 comment
The Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set, a $145 value, for only $60.
Yes, I know that $60 doesn’t sound like a steal. But for a quality 7-piece brush set that repels and destroys bacteria, in a chic, silver, trifold brush case, it really is one!
Realistically, this is the best price I’ve seen for a quality set of brushes. So if you’re going to splurge on a nice brush set, I suggest this be the one you splurge on.
You know how I wrote that blog entry about cleaning your makeup brushes every week? Well these brushes can be cleaned less often because they are treated with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic compound that attacks and destroys harmful bacteria. This is truly ideal for those of us who aren’t as diligent about cleaning our makeup brushes. (::cough::)
Also, this brush set is one of the few items on Sephora.com that has a practically perfect rating with the five-star rating system.
So, to sum it all up, my opinion is that Sephora’s Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set is a great buy!

Bare Mineral’s MATTE Foundation is Much Better for Oily Skin
11 comments
I always appreciate it when companies take consumer criticisms to heart and use them to improve their products. Bare Minerals did just that with its new matte foundation.
I’ve been an avid user of Bare Escentuals (Bare Minerals) original foundation in “fairly light” for almost two years now. I’ve tried liquid foundations in the past, but I hated the way they felt thick, caked on my skin and required extra effort and skill to apply. Simply put, I don’t have the patience for liquid foundations.
One thing I love about Bare Minerals is that none of its foundations are liquid based; they’re all mineral powders. But unlike other powders, they cover as well as liquids and take mere seconds to apply. And unlike liquid foundations, Bare Minerals allows you to adjust the level of foundation coverage that you want. This makes Bare Minerals great for all types of makeup wearers, whether you like the natural look, or more concealed coverage.
But as a person with oily skin, the added “sheen” of the original Bare Minerals foundation did nothing to absorb the oil on my skin. I thought this was just something I was going to have to deal with. But recently, the company came out with an alternative to its original foundation that blew me away: The “Bare Minerals MATTE SPF 15 Foundation.” I’ve been using this new product for a few months now and I’m obsessed with it!
The matte foundation formula is infused with a RareMinerals Active Soil Complex that helps absorb oil and shine without making your skin dry. For me, this is perfect because if I try to over mattify my skin, it becomes a flaky mess!
The matte foundation comes in 22 shades (Wow!) so you’re pretty much guaranteed to find one that complements your unique skin color. Bare Minerals recommends that you go into one of its stores or another beauty store (like Sephora) to be matched with the correct foundation shade.
I give this product a 10/10 because it is easy to wear, covers imperfections nicely AND absorbs oil!
For those of you normal to dry skinned people out there, the award-winning original Bare Minerals foundation works just as well, but doesn’t absorb excess oil.
The matte foundation costs $28.00 on Bareescentuals.com.
XOXO,
Sarah

Note: I was originally given press samples of this product for review, then later purchased this product myself, because I loved it so much! I promise to provide honest beauty product reviews regardless of how I obtained the product.
