The bareMinerals girls came in to see us a few weeks ago to discuss their new range of ever-expanding mineral make-up and gave me some great products.
Highlights include the recently-launched Get Started Kit which contains all the products needed for a perfect light complexion: 2 X foundation shades, mineral veil or tinted mineral veil, Full Flawless Face Brush, Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, Light Stroke Brush and the Bisque Multi-Tasking Concealer. I'm going away on holiday on Thursday so their SPF30 Natural Suncreen will come in handy. The breakthrough suncare product is a 100% natural mineral coverage providing UVA/UVB protection. Top marks for innovation; I hate greasy sunscreen!
Foundation and face products aside, the most exciting addition to their eye make-up range is their amazing Big & Bright eyeliner pencils launching in the UK this summer. The rich colour pigments are 100% natural minerals infused with antioxidants which apparently visually enhance the whites of eyes so they look whiter and brighter. It's super-easy to apply and in addition to the standard smudge tip, it also has a built-in sharpener. Why don't all eye pencils? I wore the navy eyeliner, Midnight, for a daytime flash of colour and I'd never had so many compliments in the office so I can personally vouch for its impact. BareMinerals has also extended its eyeshadow range; the velvety smooth colours now include gorgeous purples, blues, greens and shimmering stormy grey. They also gave me Prime Time foundation primer and their Big Tease mascara both of which I'm yet to try, but I'm assured they're super. I've never really been a fan of mineral make-up due to the limited colour palette, but it's permanently improving and gives you light coverage, a healthy glow and the option not to wear chemicals on eyes. Thanks to bareMinerals, I'm a bit of a convert.
