Bare Minerals Pure Brightening Serum Foundation Review & More Products!

I've had so much fun playing with the products I was sent from Bare Minerals, including their new serum foundation. Check out the goodies below:

-Eye shadow compact in The Inspiration
-Lipsticks in Make Your Move, Get Ready
-Gloss in Ringleader
-Blushes in The One, The Secret's Out
-Concealer in Medium

And here is the Beauty Obsessed kit, which has a little bit of everything:

-Mini gloss in Trailblazer
-Mascara Flawless Definition
-Blush/bronzer duo in The Secret's Out/ Skinny Dip
-Eyeliner in black

As far as the products go, here's a quick review:

  • Lipsticks are gorgeous and feel nice
  • Lipglosses are really pretty--mine were both light colors, so light on pigmentation
  • Eyeshadows are pigmented and didn't crease
  • Blushes have beautiful colors and are buildable
  • Conealer is amazing--see original review here
  • Mascara looked natural on me and had no clumps 
  • Eyeliner worked well and comes with built in smudge tip/sharpener
And now for the new foundations!

-The Biolucent Mineral Brightening Treatment is a gorgeous primer that delivers a glow to the skin.
  • no: parabens, fragrance, water, silicones, or oils are in this
  • 20 shades
  • $29 
  • feels lightweight on the skin
  • sheer to full coverage
  • adds a glow to skin without shimmer
  • satin finish
-Perfecting Face Brush is a small flat top brush with a well to hold foundation, It's $28 and worked perfectly for applying the serum foundation

And here's a demo, info, and review on the Pure Brightening Serum Foundation:
Click here to see the video if you can't watch above. 
Here's a before/after shot of me--other than cropping and text, this photo was not enhanced in any way. Not sure you can tell in the before, but I have freckles, visible pores, wrinkles, and discoloration. I was really impressed with how glowing my skin looked, as well as the coverage with just 1 drop (please see video as I take you through sheer to medium to full coverage). Pictured in the after is 6 drops. I'm wearing all Bare Minerals products (foundation, eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara, lipstick, gloss, blush, concealer). I'm very impressed with this foundation and highly recommend trying it!

    I've been wanting to try the Bare Minerals foundation but I've heard mixed reviews on it. I think I'm just going to give it a shot any way, I usually love everything of theirs!

    I'm just starting to buy a few more bareMinerals items, I have been a fan of Well Rested for my under eye area though. I really want to try their primers.

    Great review! I was really curious about this foundation and the foundation brush when it first came out. I hate liquid foundation typically, so this might be a good one to try in the future.

    i've never used Bare Minerals before, but after seeing this review i really wanna try some of the products out; especially the foundation. i really like that it squeezes out instead of just pouring out like so many other foundations i've used do.

    Did you like the blush/bronzer combo? I've been wanting to get into wearing some bronzer but just don't know what to buy. We had an Ulta just open up here in my town and i think i might hit it up after work. That brush is awesome, i need one!

    Wow, the coverage gives almost an airbrushed finish with the foundation! Bare Minerals was the first makeup brand I ever used, and I am grateful that it was the first because it always gave me a natural finish. Your blog has truly on taken great heights seeing that Bare Minerals sends you products now!!

    Wow. That looks like some beautiful coverage. It's just a nice, subtle enhancement which is what makeup should be.

    I actually ordered the new eye 4.0 kit last night and I got a sample of the new foundation. I am excited to try it but others have said that it does not have great staying power. I only use Bare Minerals, so it is one of those things that I have to try for myself. And your skin looks flawless! Susan

    I've been considering picking this foundation up since my HG foundation is the Bare Minerals powder foundation, but I just don't think it would work on my oily skin very well. It looks great on you though!

    Oh I used to use Bare minerals a long time ago when they only had the powder foundations but I stopped using because I wanted more coverage and started using liquid foundations. I've seen pictures of this foundations and I was wondering about it. The coverage looks pretty good on you. I might have to go to the store and see for myself, the brush is really cool too!

    I agree that you have great skin even without Bare Minerals makeup but the after photo is still prettier. I love Bare Minerals Makeup, especially their face stuff. =) Awesome!!

    Just catching up with your blog, as you can tell. LOL
