Bare Minerals?
I've been thinking about checking out Bare Minerals make-up. I normally use MAC, but I've been using it for years and I feel kind of bored with it. Plus, my chin has been breaking out like crazy, so maybe I need a change?
Have you tried Bare Minerals? Reviews?

Re: Bare Minerals?
been using it for about two years now. Love it! very light weight and I don't seem to break out terribly when I forget to wash my face before bed (breaking out now because of hormones... but that's beside the point!). I do recommend using something along the lines of their Prime Time (or any primer you like, I actually use the monistat anti-chafing gel) because makeup seems to stay and need less re-application.
beware... it's addicting! I have way more eyeshadows than necessary. of course, when you buy a kit or collection, it's cheaper per item. that's how it's easy to get a huge stash. I have colors I am not bold enough to try!
I don't use the products exclusively, I have a few faves from other lines. But we're talking mascara, eyebrow pencil and lip colors here.
I've bought Bare Minerals in the past; I liked it, but found the containers don't do well in my travel suitcase (all the powder ends up in the lid area). I love their blush - very pretty and sheer.
I've found I really like PowderFX (from Sephora) for a buildable-powder-foundation-thing - they have a color that's a perfect match to the undertones in my skin. It's in a compact, but is mineral-based.
I've been using the foundation for several years now and I don't think I will ever go back to anything else. I love it because I have oily acne-prone skin and I live in FL which is humid all year round, so it is very light weight and doesn't clog my pores. It provides great coverage without giving me breakouts. I'd recommend getting one of the starter kits which has the brush, 3 shades of foundation, and primer in it to get started from Ulta or Sephora.
Kenna - they changed their packaging a while back and now they have a twist lid that you can close so it doesn't get everywhere. It's MUCH better than it was!
I'm actually almost out and need to buy more. Thanks for the reminder!

Just saw this on Sephora:
http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P299209&categoryId=B10
The kit is $35 and includes some pretty sweet pieces and and top of it you get a voucher for a free full sized foundation, which is $25. So, you're getting all of that for $10! I might have to get this myself...
