Received an email from Sephora offering a free 10-day sample of the new bareMinerals Matte SPF15 Foundation for the first 500 customers. All I had to do was print out this email photo and bring it to the store.

I picked up my sample at the Ion store. The SA informed that there was a choice of three shades so I just asked for the lightest shade, which was Fairly Light. The sample pack comes with a small brush too.

The brush is quite soft, although definitely not the softest that I have tried.

I haven't tried out the foundation yet so I can't say how well it works. I was surprised at the paltry amount of product though as it does not look like it can last 10 days to me! But it's a free sample so one should not complain :-)

hiya (greetings from somewhere in china)!
ReplyDeletethis is the same sample given away along with female mag, recently offered as a GWP at kinokuniya. i got fairly light too but have yet to try.
cheers!
I'll be expecting the review now :)
ReplyDeleteHere's the review for Guerlian's Summer makeup collection. Love the new improved packaging for the Meteorites. I might just buy them now as I was not impressed with the old cardboard packaging.

Hi Haru, where do you sign up to receive emails from sephora sg?
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeleteI gave them my email address when I signed up for the Sephora rewards programme. I think that's how you can get on their mailing list.
