BareMinerals: The Brand We Are Sleeping On

Why haven't I heard any beauty gurus talk about them?

I'll be the first to admit that when I think of bareMinerals, I think of powder foundation. If you're anything like me, powder foundation just sounds like a nightmare. But this brand has some tricks up their sleeve, and they're found in these three products. If the rest of their makeup is this level of quality, I'm kissing my next paycheck good-bye. So let's get to it.

1. BareMinerals barePro Foundation

Oil-free. Non-comedogenic. Hypoallergenic. Dermatologist Tested. Sounds great, right? Well, it looks great, too. The bottle itself comes with one fluid ounce of product (the standard) and has a very thin formula. I preferred to apply it with a dense brush (using downward motions) for the most coverage, but using a damp sponge blends it well too. It has a natural finish, which makes it look and feel just like your own skin. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with dry skin as it may cling to dry patches, but for someone with normal skin like me (no dry patches, T-zone is not oily), it's an absolute dream.

2. BareMinerals bareSkin serum concealer

This concealer is EVERYTHING. Now this, I would recommend for everyone. Because it's a serum concealer, the formula is very smooth and easy to blend out. Wearing it over foundation or own it's own, it has a nice medium coverage and makes your skin look extremely healthy. If you have oily/combination skin, I would recommend setting it with a powder. If you have dry skin, then this concealer should feel like a drink of water after a day out in the sun! Having normal skin, I normally do not set it and it brings my face to life with a dewy finish.

3. BareMinerals GenNude Matte Liquid Lipstick

If you know me, then you know I love a good nude lip (preferable with cool/mauve undertones). With this collection, bareMinerals killed the shade range (not all are in the picture). I find myself swatching every single one in Sephora until I have no room on the back of my hand and the store tuns out of Q-tips to apply them. Although it's not completely transfer-proof like the Kat Von D or ColourPop liquid lipsticks, it has a comfortable matte formula which makes the application and the wear extremely bareable.

The best part about bareMinerals is that the brand is cruelty-free, meaning they do not test their products on animals, and many of their products are vegan, meaning none of their ingredients are made from animal or animal-derived ingredients. And guys, these three products have been on sale for quite a while now. I would imagine that their newer products would have even better quality. Now I can't attest to how well they hold up in humidity, as I have not yet tested them in the extreme South Carolina, but regardless, you need to get your hands on some of these goodies and stop sleeping on bareMinerals!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
