Bare Escentuals Refillable Mirror Compact

Great idea but pops open

I'm not sure if I just got one that is defective, but the lid pops open on mine if it bumps against anything. The inner plastic lid holding the brush has kept away any messy spills, but the top is difficult to keep closed. Great idea.

Burt's Bees Foot Care Kit

Smells great & leaves feet soft

I love the smell of coconut, and this definitely has it. I run, so my feet get pretty tough with calluses, and this actually makes them soft again. It does not dissolve calluses, but it moisturizes them well and lasts for a long time. I actually use it on my lower legs after shaving sometimes too, and it keeps them soft all day. The only downside is it may be a little too thick, but if your skin is damp when you apply it, it moves easier.

BareMinerals Clear Radiance

Healthy glow

I first tried this product after seeing a friend who started using it. Her face just seemed to have a glow too it during the day - subtle shimmer but definitely a daytime look. I tried this and it helps to give that glow you get after being in the sun - without going into the sun. One of my favorites from Bare Escentuals.

BareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25

feels light and comfortable on skin

This powder is a great lightweight coat to cover up shine or just freshen up your face during the day. It is translucent and does not cover any blemishes, but I seem to have less of them using this product.. After having chemical peels this works well to reduce the shine and look normal to return to work.
