Low Price vs. High Price – Mineral Makeup

by

By the time you’re my age, you’ve tried just about every kind of makeup ever invented. Creams, liquids, powders, liquids that turn into powder, powders that are creamy and just about every other variable there is. I am still willing to try something new, so when the mineral makeups became the rage, I finally broke down and gave it a try. I do love the way the powdery stuff gives enough coverage, but don’t settle into my (eek!!) wrinkles like a normal powder does.

Bare Escentuals™ retails for $25 at Ulta.

Ulta’s mineral makeup is regularly $14.99, on sale now for $9.99.

In this high price vs. low price challenge, I tried both. I started with the “big name” brand, believing it’d be best. I liked everything about this makeup. But, when it came time to part with another $25, I was lured by the lower price. There were fewer colors offered in Ulta’s mineral makeup line, but I found one that was very close to the Bare Minerals I had been using. I notice no real difference in application, coverage or appearance. It works for me. (While it’s on sale, I may have to snag another one!)

Low price wins again! If you have tried either or both, I’d love to hear how they worked for you!

    I love Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals…I will have to try Ulta’s version

    If I had tried the Ulta brand and for some reason it didn’t work for me, I probably would have stayed with the Bare Escentuals myself. Saving money is a bonus here… Let me know if you try it, Jen, and thanks for the comment!
