I've had the displeasure of wearing several different types of Acuvue contact lenses. I don't see what the hype is all about. None of them gave me clear vision, they were horribly uncomfortable, and would often feel as though someone had glued them to my eye balls. These never, not once felt clean enough to me. I ended up switching to O2 Optix and have been thankful ever since. I think these are a very popular choice and doctors are quick to prescribe them, but it's important to exahust every option before deciding on a brand. These will never be for me!

These are some of the worst contacts you will ever have the displeasure of wearing. People rave about them, so they are often the first thing given to you when you're doing a lens fitting. These were just plain awful for me. Initially they were ok, but I never truly got super clean vision wearing these. It took a while, but eventually my doctor gave me O2 Optix and they are fantastic. I've been wearing them for eight years now, not once have I looked back.

I've been using this eye cream for about nine months. It works extremely well in conjunction with the other Bare Minerals skin products (cleanser, moisturizer, & neck cream). I like that it's natural, so I don't worry about it being around my eyes. The level of moisture is perfect. I would buy this again, it lasts a really long time.

I've been using this on and off for two years. I have combination skin, but there are parts of my face that get dry to the point where they look wind/sun damaged in terms of dryness. This cream turns all of that around in a short period of time. Applying this only to the really dry areas of my face, I get more than 12 hours of rich moisture and my skin heals quickly than to that. I'm generally not a fan of jars of cream, but I find that using a Q-tip to apply, instead of my fingers, makes me worry a lot less about potential cross contamination. This lasts a long time, so it is well worth the price. I highly recommend getting it in a set with the Purifying cleanser and the neck cream. The three products combined provide AMAZING results.

I've been using this for about two years. A lot of people compare it to Philosophy's Purity Made Simple. Honestly, as a user of both products, I am far happier with this cleanser than I am with Purity. I have combination skin, so I use different cleansers for morning and night, and when my skin is acting up I use a product to really help with that issue before going back to this. I like that no matter what, this is really good for my skin. It always leaves it soft and super clean. I use this with either of my Clarisonic brushes and the results are always really positive. Since switching to this cleanser, I break out less and my skin doesn't dry out as often, even during the blistering cold Winter months. I do use this with a few other Bare Minerals skin care products and I'm extremely pleased with the results all across the board. A bottle of this cleanser lasts me about 4-5 months, you don't need to use a lot to get your face clean and soft. I tend to use between 2-5 pumps to completely clean my face, which is probably too much product, but I never feel like one pump is really enough. I like that this bottle allows me to both open and close the pump, which helps prolong the life of the product. If you haven't tried this, I highly recommend it. It's a healthy cleanser, you don't have to worry about unnecessary chemicals, and it smells nice and fresh. To give this anything less than ten stars would be a grave insult.

When Bare Minerals released this mascara I was very happy to try it out. I like both the original version and this one, which is waterproof. It gives amazing length, volume, and coverage in one swipe and it's not messy. The wand is one of the best I've ever used and that's saying something because I am a mascara junkie. Sometimes I swipe the wand on clean paper towel to wipe off excess product, and other times I use it as is. This is one mascara that will perform and last you the full three months (you can go four on this one if you don't wear it every single day) without drying out or becoming a clumping nightmare. I always have a hard time parting with a tube because the product is still working, but as a precaution to my own eye health I replace this often. Truly one of the best BM products EVER!!

There's truly nothing wrong with this product, other than it's way too dark for someone with a super fair complexion. It's supposed to be used as a subtle bronzer, but for me, I just looked like I had dirt on my face. I used less than a pinch, so I've got to take off points for it being way too dark. If you have a medium or tan complexion, this will probably work better for you.

I've got about six or seven of these duos. Yes, they are a different consistency than the loose minerals, absolutely. However, I don't see why people seem to have a problem with them. I'm using the exact same brushes I've always used and I'm getting excellent color, coverage, and wear. I also find that using BE's blending brush at the very end of application helps everything look gorgeous, smooth, and professional. Definitely use a primer with these, they will last all day. Also, there's a lot less shimmer in these than there are in regular BE loose shadows. All in all, these work well for every day. I'm not fond of all of the color combinations, but there are a few that I think are real winners. So far Azure Iris is my favorite.

I have several of these compacts and I love them. They have become my go-to shadows over all the other Bare Minerals shadows I own (probably a hundred or more!). These blend really well and wear as well as other products from BE. I do think the compacts are a little overpriced, so if you're interested in one, shop around for the lowest price first.

I just recently purchased a bottle of this and I really like it. There's nothing harsh about it, so I don't worry about it destroying my hands or drying them out terribly. I prefer this product over the antibacterial offerings from pretty much everyone. I rank this right behind Bath & Body Works products in terms of quality and feel. I also like the shape of the bottle, very cute.
