Bare Escentuals

I first became acquainted with Bare Escentuals makeup eight years ago (this was before my car accident). I was flipping through the channels late one night after work and I came across an infomercial for Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I was sucked in and I REALLY wanted to try the makeup, but I decided I couldn't afford it since it was rather expensive as makeup goes.

Fast forward to a year and a half later (after my car accident). I saw the Bare Escentuals infomercial and I was immediately sucked in again, just as I was the first time. Why not splurge on myself? I decided to go for it! My meager disability check wasn't much, but I suddenly found myself free from bills like a car payment, car insurance, gas, etc., so that's why I decided to go for it. I was worth it! It was worth it!

Long story short, I've been a faithful Bare Escentuals wearer ever since! Although it's expensive, a little goes a long way and I don't have to buy it very often at all. (However, I only wear makeup once or twice a week on the days I go out in public, so I know I would have to buy it more frequently if I wore makeup every day.)

I really love Bare Escentuals eye shadow. The color I like is called 'nude beach’ and I love it! The best way I can describe what it looks like is shimmery sand. It's got a lot of sparkle to it without looking like too much. I've been wearing ‘nude beach’ for several years and I get compliments on it all the time. The small container of it cost $13, but like I said, a little goes a long way. I've had mine for two years and I've barely put a dent in it.

I think it's nice to sometimes indulge ourselves on something like Bare Escentuals since it's something that's a little more luxurious than the norm.
