Bare Minerals bareSkin Pure Bright Serum Foundation {Review}

Hi beauties :)

Finally I can review the BareMinerals bareSkin foundation. I have tried it in so many various ways and still dont know if I like it.

I purchased the foundation and the brush both at feelunique.com for about 30€ each. The foundation is 30mL

I chose the shade Bare Linen, it's a light neutral beige shade. Good match for my skin.

The brush is a bit weird at first, but it really makes the difference, if you dont get it in a set, then buy it. It's worth it.

 I tried it with and without primer, on hot days, humid days, cold days, stressful days....

There are many shades, for each undertone, which I really like.  The ingredients are quite clean, except the Phenoxyethanol. It contains SPF, but you know thats irrelevant, cause you had to apply tons of it to get the SPF.

It claims:

bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation SPF20 is bareMinerals® first ever pure brightening serum foundation.
Ultra-thin, silky texture - one to two weightless fluid drops transform, soften and smooth the appearance of your complexion.

Directions: SHAKE, DROP, BUFF™ APPLICATION:
- SHAKE well for a perfect mix of ingredients.
- DROP 1 drop of bareMinerals® bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation SPF20 into the Perfecting Face Brush reservoir and add more, 1 at a time, to increase coverage.
- BUFF onto the skin in circular motions
1-2 Drops = Sheer Coverage.
3-4 Drops = Medium Coverage.
5-6 Drops = Full Coverage.

Ingredients:
Titanium dioxide 11.0%, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut alkanes, silica, stearalkonium, hectorite, lecithin, glycerin, maltodextrin, coco-caprylate/caprate, jojoba esters, propylene carbonate, tocopheryl acetate, soil minerals/syringa vulgaris (lilac) leaf cell culture extract, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium hyaluronate, phenoxyethanol, mica, iron oxides.


Coverage:

• sheer to heavy medium depending on the amount you use
• I used every amount they recommend and I never really got a full coverage, but a very heavy medium
• and yes, two drops are enough for the whole face and you get an even light to medium coverage

Application:

• I tried the BM brush, a normal foundation brush, a buffing brush and the beauty blender
• only the BM brush made the application smooth and even
• everything else soaks up too much product or doesnt get the foundation even

Longevity:

• for my oily skin pretty short
• makes me oily
• transfers
• wears off very easy

Skin compatibility:

• very good
• no breakouts
• no redness
• but it makes me very oily, even when I set with powder 

Fazit:

• probably a good foundation
• not for oily skin
• don't know if I like it
• def need the brush
• 5/10

Caudalie Teint Divin Mineral Tinted Moisturizer {Review}

Hi beauties :)

Today I have another review for you. Its about the Caudalie Teint Divin Mineral Tinted Moisturizer. I have both shades, the light to medium and the medium to dark, as samples. I tried it and I'm shocked. Its really not good. The shades are actually horrible, dont know who designed this.

The ingredients aren't clean, it does contain silicone and perfume. Glycerin is on the second place in the list.....
Its not very cheap, but the product is not worth the price. The ingredients are more dyring than hydrating and the shades available wont fit most people.

about 25€ for 30mL

Maybe I got a bad batch, or my retailer didnt store it correctly and it went bad, but I'm very disappointed.

It claims to be hydrating and self adjusting.......yeah, not.


Ingredients
AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN*, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, ISONONYL ISONONANOATE, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, DIMETHICONE PEG-7 PHOSPHATE, SQUALANE*, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE*, CETEARYL ALCOHOL*, CETEARETH-20*, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER EXTRACT*, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE*, SODIUM ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTENE, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), SILICA, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, PALMITOYL GRAPE SEED EXTRACT*, POTASSIUM SORBATE, XANTHAN GUM, PHOSPHOLIPIDS*, POLYGLYCERYL-10 STEARATE*, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL*, ISOPROPYL TITANIUM TRIISOSTEARATE, CARBOMER, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, HYALURONIC ACID, SODIUM PHYTATE*, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, TOCOPHEROL*, BENZYL SALICYLATE, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, LINALOOL, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL [+/- MAY CONTAIN : CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE), CI 77491 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77492 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77019 (MICA)]. (045/195) * Plant Origin

Shades:

As you can see in this picture are the two shades they had at the store, they told me are the only shades available. On the left is medium to dark and on the right light to medium. The shades are way more intense in real life.

• Light to medium has a pink undertone and the main color is orangy-beige.
• Medium-to-dark is basically a milk cocolate color and perfect for women of color. 
• Both are not self adjusting, my skin is light with neutral undertones, and you were always able to tell were I applied the moisturizer 

 Coverage:

•  very light
• natural, typically tinted moisturizer coverage, but good
• natural to semi-matte finish, which I really liked
• easy to blend and to spread
• dries fast, but you can work with it
• as you can see, theres a obvious line between my skin uncovered and  the tinted moisturizer ( i used the shade light)
• I used less than a pea size amount, but still not adjusting
• looks like a mask on me, maybe when you have the right skin it will blend nicely

Skin compatiblity:

• silicone and perfume made my skin break out and dehydrated
• skin is slighlty red
• if you dont have this problem than you should be good 

Fazit:

• not a good product
• not clean ingredients
• only two colors, which are way off to adjusting
• my skin reacted badly, but my skin is a diva, so manybe you wont have this problems
• I liked the finish
• rating 2/10

Hope you liked this review
Jess :)
