I don’t have much time for makeup and love, love love the idea that makeup is skincare. The old school liquid foundation has always been so hard on my skin that I found myself needing to take days off just so that my skin did not feel like shoe leather! About a year ago, I switched over to minerals. Now the only thing I wear for foundation is either tinted foundation primer with SPF 15 or minerals. Both products actually provide skin care in addition to color.
The big fallback was the investment to get started, which was $60 and up for top quality products. Until now. Thanks to my friends at Sephora and bare Minerals, you can now this five piece sample kit to get you started for only $18!
Here is what Sephora has to say about the Newbie Complexion Kit:

Here is one of the comments on this kit offering that I think pretty much sums up what is so great about it!
I’ve been really wanting to try bare minerals system for a long time, but I didn’t want to commit to the $60 starter kit just to see if I would like it, this $18 kit is a great deal! I bought this in the Light shade, and even though I only use the lighter of the two shades that came with it, I am not disappointed. I love the mineral veil as well and could wear that by itself on a lazy day. This small kit is a great trial pack for people who are new to bare minerals makeup, like me.
