If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know how much I love my Stila products. Well, fear not. Nothing has changed. But with the summer months approaching, and much clearer skin happening lately, I thought I would opt for makeup that was a little lighter.
With hot days ahead, time spent by the pool and at the beach, and lots of hours outdoors, who wants to have their skin feel like it is smothered under heavy makeup? If that effortless no-makeup, made-up look is what you’re after, bareMinerals Bare Beauty is your answer.
I’ve never tried anything from bareMinerals before, but I’ve heard lots of good things about their products. So when I saw Ulta had a 7-piece kit from the collection on sale for $48, I had to scoop it up. FYI — the kit is a $129 value.
Granted, these are not full-size items. But for a starter kit, it has everything I need. The kit includes:
– Correcting Concealer Broad Spectrum SPF 20
– Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation and Perfecting Brush
– Stroke of Light Eye Brightener
– Bareskin Perfecting Veil Sheer Boost and Soft Focus Face Brush
– Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara
Ulta also threw in a Mini Marvelous Moxie Lipstick and Deluxe Bareskin Serum Bronzer with any $40 bareMinerals purchase.
While I haven’t had a chance to try these products yet, I’m excited to see how my skin reacts to a lighter foundation that will keep it looking flawless. You can expect to see a full review of these products on the blog soon!

Good to know, Ashley! Thanks!
How is the concealer? I have heard good things! I am all about natural makeup these days- I believe Bare Minerals is on board with the no-chemical movement which is a huge plus!
I just tried all of the products today, Christina! And I am impressed. The concealer and the Stroke of Light Eye Brightener are probably my faves, so far. The concealer was very silky, yet it provided good coverage. A full review will be coming to the blog soon!
I need to try the concealer!

The concealer is really nice, Tiffany! It was very silky, went on smooth, and provided good coverage. I just started using these products today, and so far I am very impressed. A full review will be coming to the blog soon!
That’s an amazing deal! It’s fun to try new skin and beauty products for the summer, isn’t it? I think I may give this one a try too…

I love trying new beauty products, Mary! This was such a good buy that I couldn’t pass it up. I tried the products today — and I’m loving them. So glad I made the purchase!
I have wanted to try the brightening skin foundation but don’t think my skin is QUITE ready for it yet. Please let me know what kind of coverage it gives you!
I just tried all of the products today, Kasie! The coverage is on the lighter side — which is perfect for summer. My skin has improved significantly, so I don’t mind that it doesn’t provide full coverage. But I will still use my Stila Stay All Day foundation when I want something heavier. The concealer was really silky and went on smooth. It’s perfect for giving a little extra coverage to my problem areas, too. I will be doing a full review of all of the products soon!
Must try this! I love BareMinerals and their kits are the best. But, I’m also right there with you girl, love Stila!
