Infomercial surprise

I've had a revelation recently. I'm just like the next gal when it comes to infomercial products. I see the commercial on TV then think to myself..."self, that's an interesting idea, maybe I'll buy the product." Then out of laziness I never do. One confession though, if the product is available on the shelves at Walgreens or CVS, chances are, I will purchase the item.

In the past, I have purchased Nads sugar waxing kit and more recently the EZ combs hair styling kit - both were a waste of money. But one item from the world of infomercials has always intrigued me...Bare Escentuals/Bare Minerals. A few months ago, I received a small sample at the local cosmetics store, which came free with my purchase. I used the product at home just to see how effective it was. Overall, not bad, but the applicator brush was crap. Over time, I had discussed BE/BM with other ladies who've used it and discovered I was applying it incorrectly! Well, upon learning the correct technique (I guess I didn't pay close enough attention during the TV Infomerical) and a better brush (I recommend the Sephora Platinum brushes) I was very happy with the results.

You can achieve full coverage and light coverage with BE/BM. The trick is in the application -- I know...I sound like that spokeslady, but it's really true. I have a few other mineral-based cover up (True and Prescriptives) but none match the intensity I can achieve with BE/BM.

So I guess I'm a true believer now....

My next item of interest is the InStyler!
