Bare Minerals

Posted in Retail Therapy at 11:12 am by Paloma Cruz

I finally made the plunge and bought my starter kit for Bare Minerals. However, I kind of cheated. I got mine at my ULTA store instead of directly in response to the infomercials.

I think that I’m going to join the club and get my regularly-scheduled deliveries of foundations. Yes, I’m that pleased with it. I didn’t notice any immediate improvements in the way my skin looks with the new product versus the old liquid foundation I was using. However, after a few weeks, I can say that I have had fewer breakouts and my sking feels better.

Good enough for me.

Recent reports show that Houston is leading the nation in late mortgage payments and foreclosures. Not a good sign for someone who is thinking about buying her own place in the next year or so.
