Bare Minerals - Faux & Foxy



What their website says:

This bronzer creates a beautiful, glowing tanned complexion and has the added benefit of sun protection. Simply buff Faux Tan SPF 15 All-Over Face Color onto those areas of the face the sun would naturally touch (like the bridge of your nose, eyes, cheeks, and forehead) using the Buff & Go Brush and enjoy a natural, sun-kissed look without ever stepping foot in the sun. With one gorgeous swipe of 100% Natural SPF 15 Lipgloss, you'll be fabulously faux-tanned and foxy.

My Story:

I think I have a complex. lol I like to be tanned and well that requires products! I have been playing around with this kit for a few months now and I absolutely love it! The color is a deep golden bronze. If I want a deeper color application I will use the brush it comes with, but if I want a lighter application then I will use my BM Flawless Brush. The brush it comes with is a great and it's retractable so it makes a great travel brush! This kit retails for $34.

Deeper Application:
I swirl the bush in the container, tap off the excess, then use the side of brush to sweep the color wherever I want it at, next I buff in circular motions where I just swept the color.

Lighter Application:
I use my BE Flawless Application brush, swirl the brush in the container, tap of the excess, then sweep across my forehead, cheeks, jawline and nose.

Bare Minerals - Pretty Amazings







The description on their website:
The innovative hydrating glaze of our Pretty Amazing Lipcolor cocoons your lips in opaque high-impact lipcolor. The cushiony texture, insatiable shine and seriously polished appearance will propel you into an elevated state of gorgeousness. And our precision applicator handles like a racecar, cornering, sculpting and accentuating every curve of your luscious lips for enduring color with real staying power. Pretty Amazing.

My Story:
When I bought mine they were 3 for $39 with a free customizable bag. Ok so just let me say I sooo love these! They are kind of a mix between a lipstick and a gloss, creamy in texture, full color of a lipstick, staying power but not a stain, and a natural product.

Depending on the day determines if I want more of a full coverage or sheer coverage. For full coverage take one side of the applicator and apply to the bottom lip and the other side to the top. The way the precision applicator is designed you can also use the pointed end to line your lips and then fill in with color. If I want a sheer coverage I apply to my bottom lip and then pat my two lips together and then I have sheer coverage. If i want a little shine I just add a little gloss and I am good to go!

Ambition I use when I want a bold lip ---- True Fuchsia!
Strength is a perfect red lip for me ---- True Red it is!
Free Will is my favorite ... no giving that up lol
Bravado I gave to my mom and she loves it ---- Deep Red

As of now Pretty Amazing Lipcolor comes in 8 shades and sell for $16, but look out more shades may be coming soon!

I love the Shade names:

Bravado - Brick Rose
Fearless -Rosy Mauve
Courage - Warm Strawberry
Strength - Red
Free Will - Pink Nude
Ambition - Fuchsia
Moxie - Bright Petal Pink --- reminds me of the 1st Lady Gaga by MAC
Charisma - Coral Pink

Favorite Bronzers as of NoW !!!


Top picture - with Flash
L - R Clinique Liquid Illuminator - Bronz, Bare Minerals - Faux Tan Matte, Milani Baked Bronzer - Golden,MAC - Minerlaize Skinfinish - Gold Deposit, MAC - Bronzing Powder - Refined Golden
Bottom picture - w/o Flash



Clinique Illuminating Bronzer is great for a subtle dewy look to the skin it is also great if you mix a pearl size amount with your foundation for a hint of bronze

Bare Minerlas Faux Tan is great if you want a no shimmer matte bronzer ... great for adding depth and serious contour to your face

Milani Baked Bronzer is a great drug store brand I have heard a lot of people compare them to the MAC Gold Deposit. I would only say that if you Milani Bronzer has a lot of gold veining in it other than that it reminds me of BE Faux Tan with gold shimner

MAC Gold Deposit I love especially on my clients who have deeper skin. There is a lot of gold veining in it so you can get an equal amount of bronzer and gold. A little goes a long way!

MAC Refinded Gold I love to use of my more fair skin clients. It's infused with gold glitter so its just a beauty to work with! It's subtle but can still pack a punch. this is another a little goes a long way product

Macaras I am trying out


Maybelline Great Lash - Waterproof - Very Black 
This Mascara has been around for ages and I really don't think you can go wrong. Very good pigment with a great price! I love to use this product when I am doing a freelance job. Of course with disposable wands ... lol This product is simple and to the point!

Description from the Maybelline Website:
• America's favorite mascara conditions as it thickens
• Lash-doubling formula glides on smoothly to build great-looking lashes
• Lash-building brush makes it easy to get a full lash look without clumps or globs
• Contact lens safe
• Hypoallergenic
• Washable, available in Waterproof and Curved Brush

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous - Very Black
I read a lot of review on this product so I decided to give it a try... It's ok it's not my favorite and for the price which isn't really a lot I don't think I will be purchasing it again.

Description from the Maybeline Website:
• Dual-action brush stretches as it thickens each lash for dramatic length and volume
• Rich cream formula adds the most seductive finish
• Contact lens safe
• Ophthalmologist-tested
• Washable, also available in Waterproof formula
Bare Minerals - Flawless Definition - Black
 I love this mascara it's 100% natural product and can really give you a false eye lash look. The brush grabs every lash in order to separate and lengthen. You can't go wrong with this!  

Description on Bare Minerals website: 
The tapered wand lengthens, darkens and lifts, separating each individual lash for precision definition.  
Real Results
  • 84% of women said it defines lashes
  • 87% of women said it separates lashes
  • 82% of women said it finds and coats each lash with no clumps

Bare Minerals - Flawless Definition Volumizing - Black
Ok so I love this BE Mascara also! I have a great curl and lots of length already but this mascara just take it to another level. If I want to get really glammed up I use the regular Flawless first to get great individuality to my lashes then add the Volumizing on top! You can't tell me anything when I start batting my eyes! lol

Best Foundation Primer Ever !!!

Bare Minerals - Prime Time Foundation Primer

I am absolutely in love with this primer and it's Oil Free and non drying so it's good for all skin types. Apply one pump to your face after your moisturizer. You will feel a slight slip when you first apply it, but it dries and you are left with a smooth surface to apply ANY formula of foundation.

I have tried A LOT of foundation primers on myself as well as my clients. This is the only one that I can say has worked on all and all the different skin types I have come into contact with. I recommend it to everyone!
