I started using the Imperialis moisturizer from LUSH yesterday, and previously, my moisturizers all contained SPF. Imperialis does not, so I was looking for something to use with SPF in it. I get sunburned without using at least SPF 15, even in the winter.
I browsed online for a while and I saw that Bare Escentuals has a SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen powder. So I called up Shopper's Drug Mart in my town, and they didn't have anything. I called the one the next town over, and they said that they didn't have the sunscreen powder, but the foundations also have a natural SPF in them. I went down there, and this Shopper's doesn't just have a makeup section with one counter, they have a 'Beauty Boutique'. All of the makeup is organized by brand in nice displays in a separate section of the store, and they will even colour match foundations for you and allow you to test pretty much any product you want, which is not how the Shopper's in my town is.
There were two women working there, and they were both really helpful and nice. She started by matching me to one of the darker medium colours, but quickly went into the lighter mediums. My skin has a very golden tone to it, and is really hard to match foundations to. Anyways so I got matched with 2N Medium Beige. She also told me if the colour didn't seem right, I could bring it back, and get matched with another colour. I think I may end up having to do this, since I think I need a warmer colour, perhaps Golden Medium. I noticed that this looks a little pink on me (it's a neutral tone), and my sister said the same thing. So I'll wear it for another day or so, and see if I still think it's too pink.
So, I came home today with bareMinerals Matte SPF 15 foundation in 2N Medium beige, the bareMinerals Mineral Veil and the handy buki brush. Also, I'm scheduled in for their Bare Escentuals event next weekend.
I'll do a review on these after I use them for a while, and update if I switch to a different shade.
