Bare Minerals vs. Sheer Minerals

There's no doubt that i.d. Bare Minerals will give you great results. It's covers almost flawlessly! Before i.d. Bare Minerals I'd never seen my skin look so great. It had even been clearer all together since I started using their product. However, at $20 for a small container, we're talking a lot of money for this magic powder. Not to mention the "special brushes" that are more like magic wands. They cost a pretty penny as well.

Sadly, when I ran out of my precious i.d. make-up, I could not afford to restock it. Reluctantly I went to the drugstore to find a more affordable subsitute. I found Neutrogena's product, Sheer Minerals. I was a bit weary of this built in brush contraption at first, but decided to go ahead and buy it anyway.


I honestly found Neutrogena's Sheer Minerals to work just as well as her more expensive opponent! At $13, it's a steal! I was right about the built in brush. Those things never seem to work for me, they always get clogged. So, I simply removed the case of powder from the brush head and dumped it into a gladware container. I use my own large make-up brush to apply and it looks really great! Not to mention that it lasts forever!

I conclude that, while I do love bare minerals, neutrogena's sheer minerals is the second runner up- if not equal in quality!
