It's been a while since I posted about a Friday fave and this week, it's a long time love of mine. I find myself always going back to this product.

BareMineral's Original Foundation is a powder. It's light textured but offers a great amount of coverage if needed. It's definitely buildable. When I use this as my foundation I like to apply my face moisturizer, my Garnier BB Cream, and then this powder. It gives my complexion a super flawless finish but doesn't look cakey in any way.

I never find myself breaking out from this formula and I love that the original formulation has the glowy minerals in it. They aren't necessarily glitter but more of a super super fine "shimmer" but that might not even be the right word. The finish is glowy and never flat. I love the finish. They have a matte formula as well but for my drier skin the original is perfect. But it all depends on if you like a little shine or you prefer matte. The shade I use is fairly light.

After seeing this conditioner everywhere online, I received it in my September Ipsy. I was interested to see if it was indeed that good. Here is what I found...

I was able to get about three uses out of my sample and I can say it wasn't that great. Yes it conditioned, made my hair soft and shiny but it was nothing I couldn't get from the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle or something else similar. It did have a creamy consistency and smelled really nice. I don't think it's worth the $26. It is formulated without parabens, silicones, phthalates, and sulphates which is really great but I think there are other options out there.

Maybe my hair wasn't in need of deep conditioning at the time and maybe it would work for someone who's hair is in desperate need of moisture. This is only my opinion and I'm not saying it's completely worthless. If it was less expensive I would repurchase if my hair was super dry but for the price probably not....
