Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Is this list of makeup worth $75? How long will it last me (easy 10 points)?
-Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil - Zero
-Dior Diorshow Mascara - Black 090
-Too Faced Mood Swing
-Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation - Fair
Is this a good basic makeup list? (for a teenager).
Okay well I CAN answer this. Yes all that is worth the $75.00
Urban Decay- I use it every day, because it is the BEST eyeliner in the entire world. It will last you a good, ohhhhh I am going to guess a year. Unless you keep putting it on more and more.
Dior- Well your really supposed to change your mascara every 3 months. Or else you risk chances of eye infections, crusty lashes, etc. I use the Stila major lash mascara because it is only $8.50 a tube. The Vendor for Stila came into our store to train us, and she said they know what its like changing your mascara that much. That is why it is so cheap. But it works magically!!
Too Faced mood swing- Any Too faced products I own last me forever!!! It may be because I have wayyyyy to much makeup, but I loooove Too Faced!!!
And Bare- it is wonderful for your skin. Made of 100% minerals. No hidden substitutes. It prevents acne, anti aging, has SPF 15 right in it, has wonderful coverage, you can use it as a concealer, the kit comes with the flawless face brush, the coverage concealer, and the handy buki brush. It comes with two colors of foundation (change it up when you get darker) it comes with warmth (enhances the color), the Blush in the color Glee, and it comes with Mineral Veil (captures light).
I know you were jsut looking for the color fair (which is $25.00) but if you have not gotten the starter kit, then do! the brushes alone would be $60.00, and they come in the whole kit which is $60.00.
You get what you pay for, and that comes to makeup too!!
I will NEVER in my life go back to the dark side of Maybelline, Covergirl, etc.
Some cosmetic companies will use this in their cosmetics because it is a very cheap filler. Bismuth does have binding qualities, so the makeup will hold to your skin better, however there are other products that are just as good at sticking to your skin, and are better for your skin. Other than being a cheap filler, it is highly reflective, which is something companies want, because refraction will camouflage fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations. If you use a brand with B.O. you will see a shiny or shimmery, yet heavy look. That's the bismuth oxychloride.
B.O. is a thick, heavy mineral, which makes it difficult for many people to wear. It has to be packed into your pores (thus the buffing application) otherwise it can slide off the wearers' face. The heaviness can and usually does result in clogged pores or irritated skin. B.O. often feels silky and fine between the fingers. Mineral makeup companies that don't use it have a lighter feeling makeup that will blend into the skin better and with less effort (such as SMM Cosmetics).
After using Mineral Makeup, many women experience noticable itching when they sweat. Generally this is from the chemical composition in B.O. So, if you find you're experiencing some problems with your current mineral makeup and it contains B.O., the fix could be as simple as switching to a brand that doesn't use B.O. (HINT HINT...Southern Magnolia Minerals comes to mind!!)
I hope this clears the air on B.O. lol!!
