bareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen - Anyone tried it?

[Red]

I was thinking of buying bareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen as I HATE the feel of suncream on my face but there are very mixed reviews on QVC.

I was just wondering if anyone on here had tried it and if they liked it?

Thanks.

I was tempted too Red until I checked the reviews, average score of 2.8 put me off. Most people seem to find fault with the delivery system rather than the product itself.

oh so do I

I can't tell you how much I love this sunscreen.

I use a lot of powder in the summer as I don't like having a shiny face, but this summer I've carried the sunscreen round and used it instead. It is so easy to use and actually works.

I don't think I'd use it for all day sunbathing (but then I never do that anyway.......)

Honestly it's a real 'desert island' product for me, no more suncream yay!

I bought it when it first aired Red but sent it back. The delivery system was hopeless, I couldn't get anything out on to the brush. I think it would be a great product if the delivery worked properly. It seems a bit hit and miss, some worked well for some people and others didn't.

I thought the brush was useless, ended up unscrewing the pot attached to the brush and tipping it in a normal (larger) pot. Quite impressed with the product but would only buy again if they just sell it in a pot as I think you pay a premium to get the brush dispenser which doesn't work very well.

Surely you would have to use a hell of a lot of product to get the full sunscreen protection, or am I missing something? Think I'll stick with Ultrasun Face 30 and Peter thomas Roth oil-free spf 30 for the time being.

I tried it, but sent it back - as with all BE their light/fairly light or whatever they put as their "palest" shade is not (why QVC can't stock "fair" I don't know) - the delivery was OK, a bit hit and miss, but I was orange so not for me!

I bought it and sent back as the delivery system is useless - however some one had posted on here that the bottom unscrews so I kept a bit! I don't sunbathe but I work in the garden a lot - yes it works on my face and I usually get a burnt conk. I hate sunscreens on my face.

the refillable thing thats new for the foundation is likely to be based on this system so thats probably useless too!

Thanks for your replies.
Looks like a love it/hate it type item.
Ordered it after Janta's "love it" post BEFORE all the "hate it" members posted! lol
Will report back!

just to let you know, i tried it at selfridges - they have a counter so it is worth popping along to try it. i was worried about the colour match and i am glad i tried it beforehand...it was a bit embarrassing as the girl was convinced of which colour to use on me and it turned out to be completly wrong...she then went a shade lighter and it still looked odd. i think i do not get on with the BE colours and i am quite unusual in that, i know, as loads love them, but i have never been able to find one (they had a counter at champneys and all the foundations and not one of the suited me!!!)
