My free BareEscentuals make-over June 15, 2008
I has gots ma free make-over today! And unlike every other make-over I’ve had by a cosmetics lady (I’m looking at you Clinique lady!), I didn’t end up looking like a clown.
In fact I really liked how I ended up looking, and even bought a product from the lady.
But rewinding a little first, here’s how the make-over panned out:
Mineral foundation - powder stuff, must be applied with brush and buffed into skin. Surprisingly good coverage of red broken veins and dark circles.
Mineral bronzer - real natural looking - so impressive I bought some.will review more later.
Mineral eye shadow - I tried the ‘Joy’ and ’sex kitten’ - lovely strong brown and gold colours. Needs careful application as the powder has to be packed onto lids with brush than blended out.
Mascara - just mascara really.
Lip gloss - just lip gloss really.
This range is a bit different in terms of application since it’s all mineral powder based. so you have to have good brushes for each product. and boy is it expensive.
BUT they say the powders ae actually improve your skin too, and the finish and colours are superb.
Personally, I’m not likely to buy the foundation, just ’cause it’s $75, but i did buy the bronzer and if i win lotto i’ll go back for the eyeshadows.
This is an excellent freebie though, and the lady was nice and knew a lot about the products.
and I went out on the town after my make-over feeling a million (dollars that is).
Oh and there was no obligation to buy.
The free make-overs are available each friday this month at Nature Unplugged.
Here’s a little video review of it too.
