  • You're glowing darling!

    Bun in the oven?

  • They are not from the same company at all. Bare minerals has bismuth oxychloride which makes microscopic cuts and tears in peoples skin and casuses cyctic acne and irratates the skin. Mineral Hygienics does not contain that. They are not affiliated

  • I'd like this better if I could watch her put on makeup... and she didn't already have a ton of makeup on. I feel like there was no before and after

    but nice review

  • Bare Minerals and Mineral Hygienics are not the same company - they are not affiliated in any way. The big difference is that Bare Minerals have Bismuth, an ingredient that many women are sensitive to...I got itchy/tingly skin after wearing it, especially if I was warm.

  • are the brushes softer than MAC brushes?

  • Thanks Julie for this review. How would you describe the texture of the foundation i.e. is it a smooth and creamy powder or is it fine and dry?

  • This system looks almost exactly like bare minerals. I wonder how different all these mineral powder foundations are?

  • the kabuki brush looks so soft

  • please do a lash stilletto review

  • please post a lash stiletto experiment/review!! thanx

  • i use both this and bare minerals and i like them equally....i don't know what everyone is talking about with the bare mineral brushes, they are not rough at all!!! very soft.....i do like mineral hygenics bronzer better though..more of a shiny finish, bm is more matte. they both rock!

  • Bare minerals is not a safe bet. The Bismuth Oxychloride in it makes microscopic cuts and tears in your skin. I would stick with M.H. much much much better for your skin

  • if this is not your budget, Maybelline has Mineral Powder which is amazing.

    It costs 10-13 bucks, I believe.

    Its reaaallly good, I never used Mineral Make Up before, but for me - with my dry skin - it works great:)

    But great video and thanks for the information, Julie:)

  • omg i love the maybelline!!

    soo soft soo sheer

    but i really really love the blush... it's the best ive ever tried

    it gives me that natural 'i just stepped off the treadmill' look (minus the sweat)

  • I used bare minerals also and the brushes that i have are kind of rought and when I start to sweat thru out the day my face starts to itch. I dont know why. I do like the coverage that it gives me.

  • Bare Minerals has an ingredient in it called Bismuth Oxycholride. That is what is causing your face to itch because that ingredient is irritating your skin. The same thing happened to me :(

  • It itches because you skin is reacting to the Bismuth in the Bare Minerals - I had the same problem. Many women are sensitive and even allergic to it.

  • Your face itches from the bismuth oxychloride which causes irratation and acne. The Bismuth Oxychloride has rough edges (obv. microscopic) so it creates cuts and scrapes in your skin, which may be why it itchs. Def. stick with Mineral Hygienics, its the ONLY mineral makeup that does not contain it. I switched and have had flawless skin since with longer lasting coverage even when i work out my makeup stays in place and it doesnt itch!

  • what do you use a fan brush for?

  • can we do a questions and answer video re: your life away from your beauty vids??? like where you work etc

  • what song is that you use in the beginning?

  • the kabuki brush is so so cute

  • you have such pretty glowy skin =]

  • is it a good idea to use a liquid concealer on top of a mineral foundation, or does it not make a difference?

  • Hehe... You using the word "interesting" like my best friends does. She'd rather say interesting than "weird" or some other negative word. Funny funny...

  • this reminds me of bare minerals. however, i personally stopped using that line because it had a reddish tint in their foundations :(

  • yeahh i have noticed that too. and i hated it because i had to keep reaplying it throughout the day. :[ the starter kit was expensive too and its like i just wasted my money. so i just stoped using it.

  • I compared mineral hygienics to bare minerals, and mineral hygienics provided a much more natural coverage. It also felt really soft and good on my skin wheras the bare minerals irritated my skin

  • really love you and your videos but with that lighting you cant even tell if your putting on bronzer etc

  • How do you know bare minerals is better if you've never tried this product?

  • Your videos and reviews are full of informations and ideas.

    I love them!

    : )

  • Do they send you the product to review?

  • healthy glow

  • it looks exactly like my bare minerals kit :|

  • thats exactly what you get when you buy the bare minerals kit, well i bought mine in october

  • howcome dere wasnt a concealer with the concealer brush?

  • you use the foundation as concealer

  • hey gurl

    i was wondering if this dryed out your skin cause i have combo type skin but most mineral foundations seem to dry me out and make me look flaky

  • same here thats how my skin is. Then I started using ponds cream the baby blue bottle for dry skin that helped my skin a lot.

  • yeah, mine does that too, if you find a good moisturiser for your skin then theres no problem (:

  • how are you suppose to clean the brushes?

  • o.o exactly like the bare essentials value pack.

  • does this mkae your face look powdery or cakey

  • Comment removed

  • omg i love your nail polish color!! what is it?

  • I have never had a problem with my B.E. brushes being rough, and I am very picky.

  • me too! i dont get what everyone is talking about..

  • my skin hates mineral makeup:(

  • have you ever tried micabella cosmetics???

  • Can someone tell me if you use the finishing powder as a primer, can you also use it as as finish to lock in all the minerals like Julie said? Or is there no need.

    Thanks!

  • I think it just really depends on your preference and on the kit you get...I have a mineral foundation kit and they gave me a primer with it..The primer I got with my kit (Bare Escentuals) really helps with the shine since I have super oily skin. Then, after I apply the foundation I use the finishing powder to set everything, it kinda just makes everything look more flawless in my opinion. The finishing powder also makes it so that my face doesn't get shiny throughout the day. Hope that helps!

  • Yeah it does! Thanks so much!

  • Mah!

  • Bare Minerals is way better though. Gives you the coverage that you need while still looking really natural. This product looks like they're trying to imitate them.

  • Oh you are WAY wrong. Bare minerals is TERRIBLE. It has bismuth oxychloride with causes cyctic acne, and itching and irritaton to the skin, do some research mineral hygienics is MUCH MUCH MUCH better for the skin.

  • $60.00 plus s&h too expensive for me :{

  • Check ebay b/c my bare minerals (which costs $25 for foundation and $25 for mineral veil) I got both on ebay NEW for $20. Might be able to get the Mineral Hygienics on there!

  • i have something similar its from Bare Escentuals it works beautifully..

  • bare minerals brushes hurt! they are so rough

  • I agree besides that I like bare minerals though

  • I've had to throw away all my BE brushes because they were so rough.

  • they have a brush cleaner/conditioner and I used that on my brushes and they were much softer afterwards. The soft focus face brush is super super soft. They are made like that on purpose tho to be used with their minerals.

  • i heard that you aren't supposed to use a mineral foundation if you have acne, because it irritates your skin more, i was wondering if this is true

  • I know I'm not Julie, but that makes no sense.

    Most mineral make up is made with natural ingredients. That HELPS your skin. Foundations are made with things that doesn't allow your skin to breath, which is one thing that causes acne.

  • Try tea tree oil, you can get it from a health store and it will get rid of acne then you can wear any foundation

  • I believe you are missing the point of mineral makeup. Its' excellent for those with rosacea, dryness, acne or other skin ailments and it won't aggrevate the problems further. it as it doesn't contain damaging oils and chemicals - in other words, it doesn't contribute to a breakout in the first place and will improve skin condition too

  • Actually I'm not at all... If you have acne you want to get rid of it... Tea Tree oil does just that and it helps improve your skin in general... So thanks for your attempt at correcting me, but it was unneeded

  • All mineral makeup contains bismuth oxychloride with causes cyctic acne actually and irritates the skin and causes itching for those who hace senitive skin bc the ingredient causes microscopic cuts in the skin, Mineral hygienics is the only one who does not include the harmful product so really thats the only mineral makeup good for those with rosacea dryness and acne

  • see the thing is i heard that you are supposed to use bare minerals because it has Bismuth Oxychloride which irrates your skin more, i dont know about this line

  • Mineral makeup contains Bismuth Oxychloride with causes cyctic acne and irritates skin. Mineral Hygienics is the only one who does not contain that ingredient out of all the mineral makeup. Its actually great for acne prone skin.

  • Thanks for all of your reviews! They are soo helpful! ;)

  • I love all your reviews, very informative

  • Your very profesional. Thats great .

  • Great Video! I have been wanting to try the mineral line, kind of confused on which to go with. I love the finish that it gave you. Would you recommend it for long wear over 10 hours?

  • i just got the bare minerals kit and its amazing! my skin looks sooo much better with it!

  • that finshing primer is so coll^^ ill so have to get that^^

  • that is such a neat... idea using the finishing powder as a primer!

    I've been really disappointed in the Bare escentuals brushes... they are just so scratchy and the fibers litterally break when I'm buffing. blah.

    thanks for the video. its really informative i also like everyday minerals.

  • I've heard the bare mineral brushes are really rough.

  • They are really rough!

  • well, at the first 20 uses its really soft, after only 2 months of using the brushes and taking care of them they got really rough, im talking about the bare mineral

  • My wife uses that Bare Mineral stuff and she says your right! the brushes are REALLY! rough on her skin and she also complains of the brush and mineral powder itching her face. Which is weirdbecause isnt that stuff supposed to be good for your skin.

  • Bare minerals is not a safe bet. The Bismuth Oxychloride in it makes microscopic cuts and tears in your skin. I would stick with M.H. much much much better for your skin I would really really encourage your wife to switch. not to mention with mineral hygienics it does not get buffed into the pores and will not leak into the the blood system.

  • i love that you are so vibrant and happy during all your videos. btw these powders seem to be worth a try.

  • this is better than bare minerals, the bismuth oxychloride in bare minerals made my face itch! Ended up giving it away to a friend who doesn't have sensitive skin, gave her the brushes too cause I'm allergic to their goat hair brushes as well.

  • Is this better or Bare Minerals/Bare Essentials?

  • bare minerals contains Bismuth Oxychloride with causes cyctic acne and irritates skin. Mineral Hygienics is the only one who does not contain that ingredient out of all the mineral makeup. Its actually great for acne prone skin.

  • Julie, you look like Kara DioGuardi! The new judge on American Idol :)

  • No she doesnt =/

  • Your skin is perfect.. You don't need foundation.

    I wish my skin was like that :(

  • this is totally a duplicate of bare minerals.. which were the original company in mineral products. the "swirl, tap, buff" is their trademark and the brushes are EXACTLY the same. same with the "translucent" powder (mineral veil is theirs.) I really hope you can do a comparison video between maybe this product, Sheer Cover, and Bare Minerals.

  • you know I JUST saw a sheer cover show and was wondering about it while watching this. I don't usually wear make up so I may foot the $30 to try the sheer cover and do a video.

  • Mineral makeup contains Bismuth Oxychloride with causes cyctic acne and irritates skin. Mineral Hygienics is the only one who does not contain that ingredient out of all the mineral makeup. Its actually great for acne prone skin. bare minerals and this are not the same bare minerals is terrible for your skin actually

  • Hey Julie, do you have any tips for keeping your skin fresh and clean?

  • Julie, your skin is perfect, you don't need foundation.

  • hey julie... my question isnt about the mineral makeup but i was wondering if u have tryed the brushes from sigma and if u have how do u like them?

  • No, I've never tried the brushes from sigma. :)

  • I have the face and eye kit and they work really well! If you want an in-depth review, Koren over at EnkoreMakeup has a 3-part video series testing and reviewing them!

  • I can't speak for Julie, but I personally purchased the full set (didn't order the buffer brush though) and I LOVE THEM.. Did one side of my face with sigma and the other with mac, can't tell the difference... they are AWESOME!!!

  • how was the wearability?

  • Fabulous- it lasted all day! :)

  • I also have the bare minerals one that i got from sephora and its pretty much the same thing. But i have a question, when after i've used it you can see it on my skin like dust or something. am i just not buffing it in enough or something. its like the powder is just sitting on top of my skin...?

  • Yeah, I would wipe the brush clean on a tissue and then buff your skin again with the clean brush and it should buff away all the excess. :) I hope this helps!

  • Kewl.

  • Hi Julie,

    Could you talk a little bit about the staying power of the mineral hygienics foundations? I need something that would stay on all day and my everyday minerals makeup is virtually gone after 5 hours.

    Thanks!

  • The wearability is great and lasts all day. :) I have normal to slightly dry skin- so it worked well. If you have oily skin, you may or may not have different results. :)

  • hey julie great review!

    just wondering how you would compare this foundation to afterglow's foundation if you've tried it?

    thanks!!

  • i was just wondering... which would you prefer... afterglow or mineral hygienics?

  • can you say this is like or almost like bare minerals or is hygienics better than bare minerals??

  • i heard that it's from the same company, so im guessing it might be very similar. the brushes look just the same as the bare minerals ones...like EXACTLY the same.

  • I've never tried bare minerals, so I can't really give you a comparison, unfortunately. :)

  • Mineral makeup contains Bismuth Oxychloride with causes cyctic acne and irritates skin. Mineral Hygienics is the only one who does not contain that ingredient out of all the mineral makeup. Its actually great for acne prone skin.

  • You are so beautiful Julieg, mwahhh!

  • Thank you! :)

  • not at all. its basicly what you did but backwards lol what do you think is the best volumizer for your hair because my haor is long but fine and thiers no volume i cant fin anything

  • checkout bubzbeauty. shes on youtube. she has two videos on volumizing hair with straigteners. (:

  • love your new intro song.... what's it called and who's it by?

  • they copied bare minerals what a knock off

  • Your skin is sooo beautiful!

  • LOVE IT =]

  • Thanks!

  • I love your positive and happy attitude!

  • Thanks!

  • how do the brushes feel?? my skin is sensative

  • They are really soft

  • ok, where did you get your earrings from?

  • i'd like to check this out. if my bare minerals breaks me out.

  • Julie,can you post the ingredients, I was a bit taken back I called the 800 number to ask for a list of ingredients and their cusotmer service was really rude and did not answer my question. Can you post it for me to make sure I am not going to break out cause I break out with almost all minerals but I want to use it.

    Thanks your so beautiful!

  • Oh no! I can't stand bad customer service. Here's the ingredients on the back of the jar:

    zinc oxide

    titanium dioxide

    iron oxide

    mica

  • Thank you Julie! that helps your awesome.

  • OMG!

    I didn't know Julieg responded to her videos?!?!?!

  • You have inspired me to try this out! I love your tutorials, they have helped me so much!

    Please keep making these!

  • ur skin looks so so flawless and beautiful

  • Wow this look awesome! :D

    I'll check out the website!

    Thanks Julie!

  • Nice review. Can you do an "all day experiment" using this make up brand?

  • You spend sooo much time on your videos huh!!!

  • You are insanely gorgeous.

  • Their kits are the same price as Bare Escentuals. If they were cheaper, I would totally deviate towards them...

  • how much was the starter kit?

  • $60.00

  • i have bare minerals and i love it. but they told me to you the powder brush for the whole application and then use the kubukie brush to blend everything in

  • Oh- that's a great tip! Is it time consuming though?

  • Mineral makeup contains Bismuth Oxychloride with causes cyctic acne and irritates skin. Mineral Hygienics is the only one who does not contain that ingredient out of all the mineral makeup. Its actually great for acne prone skin. i would consider switching so you dont harm your face anymore

  • Bare minerals is defiantly extermely scratchy brushes!!! Dont buy it.

  • juliee

    im just wondering how much makeup do you ownn? :O

    cause i watched most of your vids and wow you have alot of makeup (:

    i buy a few things here and there and experiment around but usually i mess up :(

    #1 julie

  • Hi Julie,

    Thanks for sharing this video with us. :)

    Which do you prefer to wear in the summer, mineral makeup, liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer?

  • coolio.

  • Your reviews are ALWAYS helpful!

  • Thank you!

  • pretty Julie:)

  • Thank you!

  • I have a question though. Lets say you have some dry skin, like my cheeks and my nosesometimes get a little flakey,yet my forehead gets oily. is this the kind of thing that will really make it stand out because its a powder?

  • I wouldn't think so, but I think they have a guarantee on their products, so if it makes your dry skin more prominent you could get a refund.

  • love the hair && makeup!

    so pretty!

    <3

  • hmmm, i might have to look into this, i tried Bare Minerals and really dont care for it, but this looks like a cool set. :)

  • I've never tried bare minerals- I've heard their brushes are really scratchy.

  • They are, but you can always use a different brush if you like.
