I recently bought this product in 'Unicorn' and 'Who's zoomin who'. I've worn the lipsticks out a few times and I just found them too difficult to wear! I wanted to love these lipsticks, really! I read so many reviews in order to troubleshoot my problems. Exfoliated my lips, moisturized, masked, lipliners, no lipliners. I just can't seem to get the long wear that the company claims. Because of the ultra-matte look, as soon as any moisture hits the colour, it gets blotchy. Once this happens theres no quick touch-ups. You have to remove it (which is not easy to do when you're out and about) and then totally re-apply. I can't handle worrying about my lipstick throughout the day. Especially when it's such a bold colour, it's that much more obvious.
Ultimately, if I know I'll be out for a short period of time, and NOT eating, I'll happily wear my Melted Matte lipsticks because I love the look so much. Otherwise I suppose I'll be leaving these lipsticks on the sidelines.

At first glance this product seems a little intimidating to use since it comes as a dry powder. But fear not! Just add a few drops of water to a dime size amount of product. Using your fingertips create a paste-like texture and apply to face and neck using circular motions. Massage into skin and rinse. You won't believe how soft your skin will feel after!
One element to take into consideration when using this product however... On the bottle it says the Dermafoliant is a daily exfoliant. That's a little too abrasive to use daily I'd say no more than 3 times a week.

I'll admit I didn't have exceedingly high hopes for this product given the low price point. But man did this mask feel good! I applied it on cleansed skin for about 7 minutes. Then went into the shower and scrubbed it off. As soon as the water mixed with the mask it gave a nice warming sensation. My skin instantly looked and felt softer. It says for all skin types, however I wouldn't recommend this for sensitive skin as the exfoliant might be too rough. -

This gel-like formula lightly foams, gently removing any makeup and excess oil. Most foaming cleansers I've used in the past strip my skin leaving it dry and irritated. Not Cetaphil. They respect your skin's natural barriers and keep your Ph levels balanced. One con I have with this product is that there is fragrance added which I find a little irritating for my eyes. -

Next up is their Oil Control Moisturizer with SPF 30. At first glance I'm happy to have this product available in a pump. Nothing worse than those yucky bacteria-filled jars skincare companies like to sell. The texture is light, oil-free and not chalky at all. It protects against both UVA and UVB rays, an absolute must for all sun protection products. It's fragrance-free and non-irritating, so safe for sensitive skins! Personally, I have SUCH a hard time finding a SPF cream for my face because so many products leave my skin feeling super greasy. I already have enough of that problem thank you. This moisturizer is lightweight and even provides a matte finish. Finally found my SPF solution! -

This spray is a nice refreshing mist, I like to keep it handy during the warmer months. It's safe for even the most sensitive skins and can be used on babies (6 months and older). Because of this you can even use this spray to help relieve the uncomfortable side effects of sunburns, bug bites, razor burn, diaper rash and eczema flareups.
Great addition to have for the entire family!

I always like to keep their Warmth All-Over face colour handy. Although they only offer the bronzer in one colour, it has a nice reddish undertone which makes it look like a real tan. If you have this product, you'll have it for a long time since a little goes a long way with this one! I like using the bareMinerals flawless application face brush as it allows me to apply and sheer finish. -

If you're a fan of powder foundations you'll instantly fall in love with bareMinerals foundation. I never get tired of it! This loose-powder foundation gives a smooth and soft finish with just the right amount of coverage without weighing you down. The matte formula absorbs excess oil without drying out your skin and minimizes the appearance of pores. It is marketed as a foundation with SPF 15, however you definitely still need to apply a proper moisturizer with SPF to ensure a full sun protection. The packaging is great too because unlike many other brands bareMinerals offers a closure so the powder doesn't spill everywhere keeping it mess-free. To apply I just tap a bit of product into the inside of the cap and apply with a Kabuki brush. -
