LOREAL BARE NATURALS HAUL..

A WEEK OR SO I WAS READING A MAGAZINE ( I THINK GLAMOUR) AND SAW A ARTICLE THAT SAID THE LOREAL BARE NATURAL MAKE UP WAS ONE OF THE BEST BEAUTY ITEMS OF 2010. WELL I DIDNT HAVE ANY..I HAVE SOME COVERGIRL TRUBLEND MICOMINERALS BUT NONE FROM THE LOREAL COLLECTION..

SO WHILE I WAS OUT TODAY I DECIDED TO GET SOME.

HERE IS THE HAUL...

I GOT 6 ITEMS TOTAL..

I SPENT MORE THAN I EXPECTED WITH THESE TODAY. THESE ARE AROUND $ 14.00 EACH AND THE SMALL CONCEALER WAS NOT MUCH CHEAPER.. I THINK IT WAS $ 11.00.

LETS GO THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE..

THIS IS THE FOUNDATION I CHOOSE. ITS # 458 ~ LIGHT IVORY ~. MY COMPLEXION IS PRETTY FAIR UNLESS I AM TANNING A LOT OR USING SUNLESS TANNER AND I THOUGHT THIS SHADE WOULD MATCH MY SKIN TONE BEST. I DID NOT HOWEVER TEST THIS IN THE STORE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD REALLY DESTROY THE CHANCE OF ANYONE BUYING IT IF I DIDNT. THIS ALSO HAS A SPF 19 IN IT BUT IT DOESNT HAVE TOO MUCH OF A WHITE BASE TO IT. SO HOPEFULLY IT WORKS WELL..I THINK YOU CAN BUILD THE COVERAGE TO GO FROM EITHER LIGHT OR FULL COVERAGE..BUT UNTIL I TRY IT OUT I WONT KNOW FOR SURE..

THE NEXT ONE THAT I SAW THAT STANDED OUT TO ME IS THIS ALL OVER MINERAL GLOW IN # 426 ~ PINK GLOW~. I AM HOPING IT WORKS WELL TO KINDA GIVE A LITTLE MORE COLOR THAT MAKES YOUR SKIN LOOK DEWY..ONCE AGAIN I WILL TRY THESE AND DO A SWATCH POST LATER THIS WEEK..

I WENT TO THE BLUSHES NEXT. THIS IS THE LOREAL MINERAL BLUSH IN # 492

~ BARE HONEY ~. THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT THE MAGAZINE WAS RAVING ABOUT.. SO I PICKED IT OUT. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BROWNER THAN WHAT I WANTED BUT SINCE THE MAGAZINE WAS HAPPY WITH THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR I DECIDED TO GET IT..I STILL MIGHT GO BACK AND GET A MORE PINK ONE TOO SOMETIME SOON IF I THINK THIS IS TOO DARK...

I GOT TWO FINISHES..THIS ONE IS THE LOREAL LUMINZING MINERAL FINISH IN # 400

~  TRANSLUCENT ROSE ~ . THIS GOES ON LAST...KINDA LIKE A FINISH..

I ALSO GOT THIS MATTIFYING MINERAL FINISH IN # 404 ~ TRANSLUCENT MATTE ~. THIS ONE IS SUPPOSE TO HELP WITH CONTROLLING SHINE . I THOUGHT IT WOULD COME IN HANDY ON THOSE HUMID DAYS...

LAST BUT LEAST IS THIS LOREAL GENTLE MINERAL CONCEALER. THIS ONE IS IN # 478

~ LIGHT~. I AM KINDA INTERESTED IN THIS ONE. I AM CURIOUS HOW WELL A MINERAL FORMULA WILL WORK AS A CONCEALER..WILL DEFINITELY DO A REVIEW ON THIS ONE..( AS WELL AS THE OTHERS).

THE REVIEWS HAVE BEEN VERY MIXED ON THESE PRODUCTS. IT SEEMS MORE PEOPLE LIKE IT THAN NOT..BUT HERE IS A FEW THINGS I KNOW AND THINK...

*********************************************

MINERAL MAKE UP HAS BEEN ALL THE RAGE THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE RAVED THAT THEIR SKIN LOOKED BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS WEARING MINERAL MAKE UP. THAT IT HIDES BLEMISHES AND SCARES REALLY WELL..WITH THESE PRODUCTS AL OT OF THE REVIEWS HAVE SAID THE BRUSHES ARE TOO SMALL TO GET GOOD EVEN COVERAGE. BUT BEING I AM A BRUSH WHORE I DONT THINK THAT WILL BE A CONCERN FOR ME..ONE OF THE KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER WITH THIS MAKE UP IS TO TAP OFF ALL THE EXCESS POWDER OFF THE BRUSH AND ONLY APPLYING A LITTLE AT A TIME. THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHEN IT MIXES WITH THE OIL IN YOUR SKIN AND THE PRIMER AND MOISTURIZER IT REALLY LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN IT DID WHEN IT WHEN YOU STARTED. THE KEY TO THIS PRODUCT ( AND ANY OTHER MINERAL PRODUCT)  IS APPLICATION..YOU NEED SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT, A LITTLE GOES MORE THAN A LONG WAY. BEFORE APPLYING BE SURE ANY PRIMER OR MOISTURIZER IS COMPLETLEY DRY..YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR SKIN TIME TO ABSORB ANY PRODUCT OR YOU WILL WILL HAVE A BIG CAKEY MESS. TAKE YOUR BRUSH AND GENTLEYSWIRL IT IN THE TOP OF RESERVOIR OF PRODUCT. TAP OFF THE EXCESS OR IT WILL FALL ON THE REST OF YOUR FACE AND YOUR CLOTHES..START AT YOUR TEMPLE AND DO ONE SIDE OF YOUR FACE AT A TIME..ITS EASIER THAT WAY WITH MINERAL PRODUCTS. COME DOWN FROM YOUR TEMPLE TO YOUR CHEEK AND THEN DOWN TO YOUR CHIN...THEN DO THE LEFT SIDE..RELOAD THE BRUSH WHEN NEEDED..YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHEN YOU NEED TO ADD MORE..AFTER BOTH SIDES ARE DONE START BLENDING IT BY MAKING A CIRCULAR MOTION. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE FOUNDATION..IT IS NOT TRANSLUCENT POWDER..IT HAS SUPERIOR COVERAGE.REMEMBER YOU CAN ADD MORE AS NEEDED BUT IT HARD TO TAKE IT AWAY IF YOU ADD TOO MUCH. ALSO REMEMBER THAT WHEN USING THIS YOU WANT TO STICK TO POWDER ONLY ON THE REST OF YOUR FACE. POWDER ON POWDER MAKES FOR A FLAWLESS LOOK. YOU SHOULD NOT USE A CREAM BRUSH OR CREAM BRONZER OVER THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT..

ALSO WHEN I HAVE HAVE USED POWDER CONCEALERS FROM COVERGIRL IT IS BEST USED FOR BLEMISHES AND NOT UNDER YOUR EYES. POWDER TENDS TO SETTLE IN FINE LINES..ANY POWDER BLUSH OR BRONZER WILL WORK WITH THIS. SAME WITH EYE SHADOW..USE POWDER AND NOT CREAMS..OR YOU WILL GET CREASES.

THE REVIEWS HAVE BEEN MIXED ON THIS LINE. I THINK THE PEOPLE COMPLAING ARE NOT SO GOOD AT APPLYING IT. MOST MINERAL PRODUCTS ARE WEIGHTLESS WITH A UNDENIABLE COVERAGE...THE TRICK IS APPLYING IT RIGHT. MINERAL MAKE UP IS SO MUCH MORE BLEND AND FORGIVING THAN ANY LIQUID MAKE WHEN APPLIED RIGHT.

ANYWAY, I SAID A LOT BECAUSE IF YOU READ THIS POST AND DECIDE TO TRY IT, I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT RIGHT. I HAVE USED MANY MINERAL MAKE UPS. MY MOM GOT ME A TON OF BARE MINERAL MAKE UP A FEW YRS BACK AND LIKE I SAID I HAVE COVERGIRL MICRO MINERAL MAKE UP TOO. THIS LINE I HAVE NOT TRIED AND AFTER I WEAR IT A COUPLE DAYS I WILL DO A REVIEW!!

HOPED YOU LIKED THE HAUL!!
