Duty free spending Bare Minerals

So as per many other woman, when traveling i can't help but be taken in by the so called bargains at duty free. I have learnt from previous experiences and i only went for make up well maybe a few skin care products.....

First of all was Bare Minerals I haven't used bare minerals foundations for along time,previously they made my skin itch and looked quite dull and dry, but when i saw this beauty at Gatwick i couldn't help but buy it!


I didn't know what to expect, so i got the kit out and i had a play. 
The conclear is quite thick but as long as you remember this, it blends in easily and covers those pesky pimples! Next in the foundation its self Ready SPF 20 in R170, I can't make my mind up whether i like this or not, it hard to describe its heavier then classic bare minerals what i will say is it is messy! even though its a foundation it is still a mineral formula and as the foundation is flush finished in the set theres no lip or edge to catch the loose powder so i imagine you will waste quite a bit in comparison to the usual mineral pots. Then theres the mineral veil which you can use to touch up through the day, this is the light mineral formula so just takes the shine off your face and keeps the foundation looking matt, the best product in this kit in the bronzer,(READY bronzer in skinny dip) this blends really well and is not orange it really is as it says a bronzer, build it up to contour and define or just apply on the areas the sun would kiss, theres no shimmer or glitter just bronze!
I am not a massive fan of illuminators as i spend most of the time trying to cover shine not add more, but as illuminators go this ones ok, you don't need to use a lot, i really haven't used this so can't really tell you a lot more.

The brushes are what you tend to expect in kits, they do the job but they aren't your trusted favourite brush the mini precision brush is what you will use the majority of the time, its bristles are compact but not to tight it doesn't blend well, then theres the min tapered brush for conturing or adding more coverage.

The kit costs £39 which is a good price to try the new bare minerals solid mineral foundation. I have been trying this kit for  month now and i am really pleased i have it, as with any make up product it takes some time to get used to Bare minerals have enclosed a "how to" booklet which does help on what product goes where and best application techniques. 

If you want to try Bare Minerals give this kit a go, easy to use and a great all in one kit! A must have for ladies who don't have much time in the morning!
