Hello Lovlies!
So the other day I was very lucky to be invited to
a Bare Minerals event at the beautiful Harvey Nichols 'Beauty Bazzar' Store in
Liverpool. Personally prior to the event I had never tried any Bare Minerals
products before and honestly after trying out some of the products I don't know
why I haven't tried them before.We were welcome in by the lovely girls that work
for Bare Minerals and offered a drink and had a chance to browse and snap away
at some of the products that were laid out.It was also a great opportunity to
meet some fellow Liverpool based bloggers and chat away about everything
beauty.
Something I discovered whilst I was at the event was that all of the images used in the Bare Minerals campaigns are actually customers and social influences who actually love the brand, which personally I think it is a perfect concept. As you have or may have not already know Bare Minerals newest is well know American Youtuber Ingrid Nilsen, can I just say how stunning she looks in this photo, couldn't think of a better brand representative. Another thing I really liked about the brand was their focus on making women feel beautiful and empowered and really believe their products enhance a women natural beauty.
I couldn't believe the variety of foundations
that the brand had available whilst I was browsing around their products, I had
heard of their best selling mineral foundation but didn't know they sold liquid
foundation (BTW there may or may not be a new higher coverage foundation launching
rather soon!).
Once everyone had arrived the
lovely Sophie who is the regional brand representative for the Bare Minerals
welcomed us and gave us a brief overview of what we would be looking at and
discussing during the event. Sophie then went on to do some live demos for us
using a variety of the different products on 3 models who were of different
ages and with varied skin 'types'. Something that is brilliant about this brand
is that it is literally a brand for everyone, It is perfect for young girls (or
boys) who want to start wearing makeup but don't want to be clogging their
pores and want a natural look, because the products are made up of natural
minerals it wont irritate the skin (you can even sleep in it!). Bare Minerals
appreciates each persons journey is very different which is why they create
their 'Foundation Fundamentals' which is a service they offer so that everyone
can find their perfect base.
After seeing how all the products
work I am really keen on trying them out for myself, especially the Prime Time
Foundation primer as I tried some on the back of hand and it felt amazing and
its silicone free!.
Bare Minerals are also really
interesting in not only giving women the right products to match their needs
and preferences but they also want to aid them with the right techniques so
that when they go home they know how to use the products just like the pros.
This is why when you are at one of their counters they will only put the makeup
on half of you face and then they will get you to do the second half, which I
think it a brilliant idea.
As I have previously mentioned, prior to the event
I wasn't too familiar with all the products the brand had on offer, I had
obviously heard about their makeup line but I was non the wiser about their
amazing skincare range. Bare Minerals have expanded on their product range with
some amazing new products and I was very pleased to get to have a little play
around with them at the event. They have everything you could need from
moisturisers, cleansing oil, eye creams and serums tailored towards a variety
of different skin wants and needs.
They have recently launched their new
'Skinlongevity' which includes their Vital Power Serum and the Vital Power Eye
Cream both of which smell amazing and i have also tried the serum since the
event prior to applying my makeup and really love it. The idea of
'Skinlongevity' is to make your skin look younger and fresher for looker (and
who doesn't want that!).Bare Minerals found that there are places in the world
where people thrive and live longer for example Okinawa, Japan, which is also
know as 'the island of long living'.This is where the brand found essential
minerals and vitamins, know to the locals as the 'Long Life Herb', and it
apparently has higher mineral and vitamin content than spinach and kale (Woo an
alternative to Kale!). Can I also just take a minute to appreciate the amazing
packaging!.
Whilst at the event we also got to have a
little sneak peak of some products that actually aren't launching until July,
which was very exciting! This included the two lovely eyeshadow pallet's , one
more plum/pinky based and the other one had more of a warm neutral selection.
They are also expanding their shade range of 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance Cream
Eyeshadows, but most excitingly they are releasing brow gels!. Hopefully more
information and reviews about these products will follow as future events for
their launches are in the works.
Thank you to Sophie and the team
for hosting a lovely event and for my generous goodie bag!
ThankYou for visiting!
Lots Of Love
'Pretty is what you are.
