bareMinerals mineral veil




The gold packaging caught my eye.

The pink iridescence made it unforgettable.

The price made me buy it!




I bought it online at sephora.com and it came with it's own fun little retractable kabuki brush. It was on sale plus I had a coupon code to use.

When it came in, and though I've swatch it many times in the store, I found myself a little disappointed with it's opacity. IT IS SO SHEER! First, I have a thing for pink irridecent stuff, enter: Benefit Moon Beam, HIP Exciting Pigment and Body Shop Pink Eye shimmers. I though this would be the same only in powder form for the face. WRONG!





However, aside from my initial shock to how I thought I would use it, I find myself using it near daily in the dullness of the winter. But how can this be Lizzard? you may ask. Read on my friend, read on...

Once applied to the skin this becomes nearly invisible. You maybe thinking, well duh, it's a mineral veil, that's what they do. Well, don't you duh me young thing! I have never owned bare escentuals products and thus don't know how these things work. So, in the dead of winter my skin gets dehydrated, deathly pale, and sometimes my chin crackles in turmoil from the winds. Applying this instead of my HG Jane Iredale powder has giving my paleness a nice from within glow. I'm not going to tell you to run out and buy it, because it's not a staple and there are work arounds, but this thing is pretty snazzy!



Love, Liz xoxo
