surprised me- its perfect!

i dont even need to curl my lashes when i use this mascara! i didn't realize when i ordered it from sephora that it had fibers in it, which i love. (i had considered buying a separate mascara with fibers, but i guess i don't need to.) it stays on all day, even through naps. its wonderful! the packaging is absolutely adorable too, and i love the pattern on the tube. the brush is the same as vivian l. posted below, but my tube is silver/gold-ish

ooooh!

i have straight hair that doesnt really do anything but hang awkwardly. i sprayed this in my wet hair, and i think the picture speaks for itself. its pretty wonderful. i will post an update after going out to see how long it holds. after it dried, i sprayed my hair with aussie hair spray

the coverage is really nice (i have slightly red skin.. i would say it isn't "heavy" coverage, but sheer-ish and dewy. it certainly evens my skin out.). the powder doesn't seem to last long so i set it with other things- MUFE hd powder, or a victoria's secret powder i have. i am excited because this is the first foundation that has matched me! (in 110!)

VS had the lightest shade (010) on clearance on their website in december. i figured i would try it out (being very very fair skinned, i have few options.) it works great as a finishing powder- luminous! i hope i can find it again when i run out!

love.

my mom got me this for my birthday one year. "what is this thing? do i really need this?" i had no idea. but yes, yes i need it. nothing makes my skin feel this clean and soft. it makes it easier for my skin to absorb moisturizer (without it, i feel like they sit on top) its perfect down to the product design- one simple button, and a magnetic charger. i use this with philosophy purity. do not push it into your skin when you cleanse, just skim it over the surface. i have very sensitive skin, and it works very very well for me.

i use the illuminating mineral veil as a setting powder. it gives a really nice finish over my MUFE HD liquid foundation. i actually don't like the bare minerals foundation. it didn't quite match my face, and it made me break out. the mineral veil is great, though, and provides a perfect flawless finish

i have this in parasol. it is absolutely gorgeous. i am very pale, but it gives me a nice glow. i only apply one swipe on each cheek and blend; this stuff is very concentrated. i use a big brush- the one that comes with the bareminerals set to put it on, otherwise it is too concentrated and won't spread. apply it the right way and it will last forever.. which is great because it is one of the best products! (the cute packaging doesn't hurt either!)

shiny, patent like finish. it really makes lashes look long though. i did feel like they were "coated" though, but it didn't look clumpy at all. the waterproof and the regular are pretty much the same, quality-wise, but the waterproof stayed on great when i was at a pool party! i would buy this all of the time, but whenever i get the opportunity to try new mascara, i forget how much i like lash stiletto and benefit badgal lash. i should just stick to what i know ;)

first one i bought was absolutely amazing. it makes lashes look very big with lots of volume. the second was dried out and sort of weird; it came out really goopy. only other issue: if you cry or get anything in your eyes, it gets alllll over. it didn't irritate my eyes though, but i put drops in for my contacts and it got the mascara all over!
