Beauty review: bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation by Taryn Davies | bareMinerals have recently launched their first-ever fluid foundation, bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation, which delivers beautiful skin through the brand’s ethos of bare minimum. The foundation is now available nationwide from today and we thought we’d share our views on it, seen as we’ve been trying it the past few weeks. A longtime detractor of liquid foundations, bareMinerals champions a less-is-more philosophy by developing products with purity in mind. It was founded on the belief that women deserve good-for-you makeup alternatives, emphasising a solution-oriented approach to beautiful skin. With the launch of Original Foundation in 1995, bareMinerals introduced a foundation that was made from only five pure ingredients; it liberated skin from harsh chemicals and captured the hearts and complexions of millions of women who willfully abandoned their liquid founda­tions to become fanatically faithful to the skin-loving formula.

D I Y 10 of the Best Drug Store Beauty Buys I have an apology to make: I used to be one of those girls behind the makeup counter of a big, fancy department store selling you over-priced beauty products. While I won’t say which brand I worked for, I can tell you that my uniform consisted of all black and way too much makeup. Hey, it was the 90’s, after all. Well, I’m here to make amends. Because, you see, not all department store makeup is better than the drug store version. In fact, a lot of drug store makeup is way better than the junk being sold in the department stores. The beauty industry is full of people pushing products that they don’t stand behind 100%. Also, celebrities rarely endorse products because, like the rest of us, they aren’t always picture perfect and no cosmetic company wants to be represented by someone who actually looks like the rest of us common folk. So, to make up for the error in my ways, I am sharing ten of my all-time favorite drug store beauty buys with you. L’Oréal Volumnious Mascara in Carbon Black
