Borghese's Lip treatment moisterizer feels so smooth, it glides on smoother and creamier than than your favorite lip balm on the coldest winter's day. The color is sheer yet beautiful. My color of choice is berry because I love it's versatility. Depending on what, if anything, I wear under it, it can appear more red or more pink. Alone it's a beautiful sheer shade that compliments your natural lipcolor. It comes in a beautiful tube and it's the only lipstick I replace over and over again. I'm so upset that there's no more Borghese counter in any of my local department stores!

After using the BE foundation, I really didn't think the bisque was necessary with the excellent coverage I was already getting. But BE wowed me again!! I bought the bisque and maximum coverage concealer brush and couldn't believe the results. Not only does the bisque do an excellent job covering blemishes, dark circles, and brown spots, but the brush makes the blending seamless! I have never had such beautiful skin!! I expect a jar of bisque to last me well over a year - I've been using my current jar for the last 7 months and have maybe used 1/4 of it's original contents.

BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15
Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals SPF 15 foundation
I LOVE BE foundation!! Having bad skin, I was skeptical that I could get good coverage without a cream based foundation. Boy was I ever impressed when I tried BE!! I've been using it faithfully for about 3 years now and couldn't be happier with the results. Each jar has lasted at least 6 months too, so it's an excellent value. It's the easiest and best color match I've ever had in a foundation, along with the easiest application! Swirl, tap, and buff! Voila!! The beautiful thing about this foundation is that it covers without washing you out. With only my foundation on and my eyebrows done, I feel confident and feel like I look how I "should" look without any makeup at all, rather than feeling like the walking dead until I add some color to my face! It's the best thing Leslie could have done for us!

BareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25
Mineral Veil vs Feather Light Mineral Veil
The original Mineral Veil is one of my absolute favorite BE products. Ironically, the feather light mv is one of my least favorite. Mineral Veil does exactly what it claims, it absorbs excess oil while completely illuminating your entire face in a sort of diffused glow. It's excellent for diffusing and softening your makeup and giving you a very "finished" look. This is the only thing I bring with me and touch up throughout the day, and that's only because I have very oily skin. I do find that I require less touchups than with other loose finishing powders, and the large jar of MV lasts a very long time! The feather light mineral veil actually creates too much shine for me, and seems to have a sparkly quality to it. The traditional MV is definately the way to go - for me - in that it creates a luminous, yet still matte, look.

Since purchasing the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Essential Brow Kit for $32, I have fallen in love with my eyebrows! The brush is stiff and sturdy without being rough or scratchy on your skin like many brow brushes I've used in the past, and delivers a perfect amount of color to fill in, enhance, and define my brows. I love it!! Since I did purchase the kit, which is the brush, brow color, and finishing gel, I have to say it's an extraordinary value. With the small amount of color needed (the brush holds the perfect amount by the way), I see this product outlasting my old preference for brow color by at least 5x!! (My previous preference was Lancome's brow pencil with brow brush on the other end, and not only was the brush scratchy but it would be out of bristles before the pencil was finished!)
