It's Friday...Time To SPLURGE!

TGIF! I knew you could do it, you made it through the week. It's time to splurge! 

For this Splurge Friday, I wanted to share one of my all time favorite foundations! BareMinerals READY Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20.

To prove how much I love it, here is a picture of my well loved foundation (if your squeamish, please scroll through quickly, it's not pretty!) ! I recently had to buy a new one so I won't have to miss a day of not being able to wear it!

Yay, you made it through those nasty pictures! As a reward, here's a pretty picture of my nice new one!

I was always a skeptic when it came to powder foundations. I have oily, acne prone skin. On top of that I have old acne scars, and almost always have a few blemishes. I remember watched a youtuber who had similar skin and she raved about the product! I went out on a limb and got one for myself. I've been hooked ever since! The coverage is amazing! I only use a concealer and the powder. I get a medium to full coverage just from the powder!

There are a couple cons though. This is the lightest and coolest shade they have. I am very pale and very cool skinned. I feel this looks a tad bit orange on me if I apply too much. I've seen though out the Bare Minerals line that they aren't very cool skin friendly. I can't even use their concealer or the newest liquid foundation because they are just to neutral-warm toned on me.

The other con I have is they recommend you to swirl your brush in the product. Don't, I mean DO NOT do that! If you do all you end up with is a huge mess and a lot of wasted product! I use a flat top kabuki brush, tap it into the product, and then tap it onto my skin. It gives a great finish, and you get very little wasted product!

Bare Minerals does sell a brush that goes with this foundation. I personally don't recommend it. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because it doesn't dry well. Once you wash it, it takes days to dry. I've noticed a musty/moldy smell even when it's air dried completely. I've used and tried everything to get rid of it, and nothing works.

I use a Sigma flat top kabuki, and love it! If you want a more natural coverage, you can use a fluffy brush.

I love that you can choose your coverage depending on the brush that you use! I also love that I can have a full face of foundation on in less then a minute! It's so much faster and easier to work with then a liquid. Plus, it's great for people who travel a lot and don't want to mess with liquids, glass bottles, etc.

So what are you planning on splurging on this Friday?
