Bare Minerals...

Mrs Anderson · January 2009

The baby makes my face break out and do crazy stuff! The ONLY foundation I have found that doesn't make my face look greasy or break it out is Bare Minerals! I LOVE it but the club is kinda expensive...I'm searching for the best deal...

So if you use it-where do you buy yours & how much is it??

If you have found something similar to it that works as well... what is it??

Thanks for the help!!

i LOVE bare minerals. I buy mine at Ulta, I think I bought like 3 brushes, the bare minerals, mineral veil, and two bronzers in a starter kit for about $65.

I'm pretty sure they sell it at Ulta, and you can get coupons for the store in the mail if you sign up for it.

I buy mine at Ulta, but I don't think the prices vary by store. I know that it may seem expensive, but one foundation container lasts me at least 6 months, so I figure $4 a month is probably less than most people spend on their foundation. Also, I haven't found anything that I like remotely as much.

You can buy individual pieces (rather than a set) at Sephora or Macy's. I think the foundation is about $25-$30 maybe. They're bigger sizes than what comes in the starter package too.

I LOVEEEEEE Bare Minerals. You can get it on QVC.com and actually it is sold on Ebay as well. I have bought a couple things from Ebay and they were brand new and definitely saved me a couple bucks.

Unfortunately, the store coupons don't work for Bare Minerals. I have seen the foundation on sale once in the past year.

I get mine at Ulta and Sephora! I buy it when I need it, so it isn't expensive at all!

I do use it and love it! We have a store in our area and I get a little card that gets stamped and when it's full I get a discount. QVC or HSN also have good deals and offer stuff that you just can't get in the stores (like extra brushes and such). Ulta is another place and they usually have a $3.50 coupon or 20% coupon in their ads. However sometimes they restrict the 20% off on the good stuff.

Pre-pregnancy I found this was the only thing that allowed my skin to clear up. It is an investment, but a little does go a long way and I found it was worth it!

I buy mine at Ulta too. I have been using this stuff for years and it is the ONLY thing that doesnt caus me to break out.

Also HSN.com has specials they run as well.

I've been using Bare Minerals for awhile now and I absolutely love it! I really love the Rare Minerals facial cleanser, which I swear has helped so much keeping my skin clear during this pregnancy! I am in the "Bare Minerals club," I get my foundations & Mineral veil, along with bonus brushes and other products, shipped every 3 months (U can change how often u want it shipped) and it's $49. There are stores that are both a little over an hour away from me, my sister and I go every few months, which is the best thing to do if you want to get a new eye shadow or blush shade. I always end up spending too much when I go into the store! Tongue Tied

Ditto pp's.

I just buy the foundation for $25 at Ulta. I never purchased the starter kit and I think you can get away without it just using a good quality brush. The kit has other items (like a bronzer and Mineral Veil, I think?) but I don't find those necessary.

Also, note if you buy at Ulta - NONE of the coupons work on "prestige cosmetics" (AKA Bare Minerals.)

I swear by the stuff.

I've been using Bare Minerals for almost 3 years and love it! I always get mine from Ebay.

khagan9368 · January 2009

I buy mine at Sephora and although it does SEEM sort of expensive it lasts forever!!! So it really works out to be one of the cheaper make-ups I've used in the past.

kweido · January 2009

I use Loreal mineral foundation, blush, and eyeshadow and love it.

Jami lynn · January 2009

Cheapest way to go is EBAY

hula_lula · January 2009

Everyday minerals

it's essentially the same thing, only cheaper.

And you can get samples to try it out for free

JacobsGirl · January 2009

I get mine at Ulta too. We are on a pretty tight budget, but it took me almost a year to go through the foundation and mineral veil in the Starter Kit, so it's pretty easy to justify the expense.

sxu0007 · January 2009

Have you tried Pur Minerals?? Because usually Ulta restricts sales on this also, but it is allowing you to purchase today w/their 20% off coupon. The starter kit is only 28.00 w/the coupon. here is a coupon code 99772

mommabarker09 · January 2009

I love mineral makeup and it is by far the best. I've tried almost everything but sorry... as far as I know there really isn't a way to get it cheaper. If you find a way let me know!!

Mrs Anderson · January 2009

WOW yall were a lot of help! Some people don't believe me when I say I have never seen anything like Bare Minerals.The makeup at the mall is just as expensive and MORE!

I was a makeup artist for BE for 2 years and now do strickly freelance(so I have use every type of makeup you can imagine) and I agree for everyday it is the best. $25 is the standard for the individual foundation weither you go to a BE boutique, Ulta or Sephora. However, if you have a BE boutique close to you it would benefit you to go there and get a bonus card and you can save that way and for your bday month you get a discount and they send out friends and family discounts. As for sales they don't really do that unfortunatly.
