BareMinerals READY SPF 20 Foundation

Hello lovely people,apologies for being M.I.A....

So being the BareMinerals fanatic that I am, I just had to check out the new Ready SPF 20 foundation. These are pressed powder compact formed. They are the perfect combination of  the original and matte foundations. They offer high coverage, 12hr hydration, long lasting, SPF 20 and a natural finish.

Now alot people are getting confused with the shade range, because of the high SPF the colour come up alot light on the skin. You have to go a shade darker than what you are normally in the BE shades. I am fairly light in the matte but in ready I am medium beige N20. It does look dark in the pan, but once applied is perfect. It is vital that you go darker, even two shades. I apply this with the precision face brush which gives full coverage in a few swipes!
You only need a small amount, tap your brush in the powder and apply with long strokes as appose to the original swirl, tap, buff method. This give concentrated coverage without ever looking cakey. If you want light coverage use your flawless face brush. I absolutely love this, because it gives me full coverage and is so quick to apply, also the SPF 20 is a mega bonus!!

New BareMinerals Goodies

Hello all! So on my annual summer vacay to California, I made a pit stop at you guessed it the
Bareminerals store and picked up some real beauts! I spend a fortune everytime I go in there, but it's once a year right?!


1. Intensive Glow Pads Brightening Treatment-These are vitamin infused pads that brighten and increase cell turnover to improve overall skin tone. They have two sides, a smooth side for everyday use and a textured side a more intense use like a once a week boost. It says to use at night after cleansing followed by your usual night time routine. I am still testing these out so I'm not sure what I think of them yet. So far so good.

 

2. Active Cell Renewal Night Serum-

This helps your skins ability to to reach its ideal renewal state. It maximises cellular renewal and hydrates yours skin. Leaves skin firm and supple. Use a pearl size amount and smooth over cleansed skin. I really like this,I feel like its doing its job. Skin feels hydrated and plumped up. Nice!

3. Blush in Vintage Peach- oh boy this is a complete dupe for Nars Orgasm blush.

 

4. 100% Natural Lip Colour in Bellini- not only do I love the name, but the colour is divine! It's pretty similar to the blush infact. Its a pink frost with gold flecks. Gorgeous my new favourite!

 

 

5. Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Show Off- another apt name for me ;-)

This smells like vanilla, mint cream, ah its divine! It's a gorgeous creamy pink. Hydrates and softens lips with natural botanical. Perfect over the Bellini lipstick.

 

 

6. i.d. Bare Escentuals Shaping Eye Brush-This is perfect for packing on colour on the centre of your eyelid and using the tapered tip for  shading in the crease, switch to the other end for precision eyelining and for filling in eyebrows. Love this brush, especially for travel.
