2 weekends ago, my girlfriends and I drove down to Singapore, met up with another girl friend of ours who flew in from Jakarta so that we could catch the last leg of the Great Singapore Sale.
First stop!?
Sephora at Ion Orchard!
I pretty much bought whatever I wanted from the ever reliable sgdrugstore before but what I had to get from Sephora was the bareMinerals Get Started Kit! For those of you who have not heard of bareMinerals – it’s one of the BEST types of makeup out there in the market!

Get this….Bare Minerals have been proven over time and again to be one fo the best types of makesup on the market and has won many consumer awards and it is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and was awarded the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation!
You can kiss cakey and fakey foundation good bye cause the 100% pure bareMinerals SPF 15 foundation gives the look of a beautiful bare skin and yet it doesnt feel like you’re wearing any makeup at all. In fact, I my face was looked brighter and it actually looks better throughout the day. You got to try it to believe. Unfortunately, this product is not available in Malaysia and as soon as I saw this at Sephora, I HAD to get it.

There are numerous reasons why bareMinerals is good for your skin and the products have been tested by dermatologists to support the benefits for the skin. bareMinerals is safe to use with many skin conditions, and the products can even help heal or clear up certain conditions like rosacea, acne, dry skin, oily skin and sensitive skin over time. Bare Minerals is also so healthy and beneficial for your skin that you can even sleep with it on.
bareMinerals cosmetics come from the finest natural ingredients, all of which are made from pure minerals. Bare Minerals products are free from talc, fragrance, oil, binders and fillers, and preservatives. The main ingredients in bareMineralsproducts are titanium dioxide, mica, bismuth oxychloride and zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide is one of the 21 different FDA-approved sunscreen ingredients used for skin. It remains on the surface of the skin to help scatter UV light and form a barrier to block harmful rays. Mica is a typical coloring agent used in mineral makeup and helps give your skin a glowing appearance. Bismuth oxychloride is what gives the makeup a pearlized look. Zinc oxide is used to soothe, protect and heal the skin. It is also another barrier used to protect your face from harmful UV rays. Zinc oxide contains an astringent and antiseptic, which makes it beneficial for healthier skin. And since it bareMinerals is made of natural products, it does not clog pores.
You can read more of the bareMinerals from eHow and of course, the Bare Escentuals website itself!
After the sales person at the bareMinerals counter applied the product on my face, I was SOLD!
