If you’re a Bare Escentuals fanatic like me, you know how wonderful their mineral veil product is. The only way I could have thought of to make it any better was to add SPF to it. And now, it’s here. Check it out!
So now, in addition to giving your face that airbrushed, finished look, you can protect your skin from the sun at the same time. As someone who likes to go to lots of baseball games in the summer, and who burns easily, this is especially important.
I actually already have a container of this stuff…it came with the Sea Yourself kit that was a “Today’s Special Value” at QVC last year. The kit is still available at the Q, albeit at a higher price than the TSV offer. Most of the products in the kit have some SPF protection, which was why I bought it.
All BE foundations have an SPF of 15. When I used the foundation together with the 25 SPF mineral veil, it worked VERY well. If it worked well for me, it will work well for anyone. I really hated the idea of putting greasy sunscreen on my face (which was pretty much the ONLY way, until I discovered BE). But the minerals are NOT greasy at all, nor do they dry out your skin. Perfection!
Also, you can never apply too much mineral veil. Carry some with you, perhaps in this compact, and you can reapply as needed during the day. That way, your face will always be protected from the harmful rays of the sun!
I’m very happy that this product is now available on its own…I would not want to keep buying whole kits just to get this one item. If I had to do that, I’d have to break out the job search paperwork so that I could afford this! But the 25 SPF product is the same price as the regular mineral veil, $19. That may seem like a lot, but one container will probably last you all or most of the summer. As with most BE products, a little goes a long way!
