Bare Escentuals

Amazing customer service! The product knowledge is amazing! I rarely wear makeup because my skin is so sensitive and these ladies were kind enough to make me a few samples so I can see what my skin won’t react to! I later came back and purchased the bare skin foundation and brush!!! Thank you

I love Bare Minerals! Ive been a long time customer and have never been disappointed with the product. Surprisingly, I just recently found out about this boutique location, I must have been living under a rock, right? I’m really surprised about some of these reviews and couldn’t disagree more. The first time I came in was a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy but I still received a warm welcoming. I was told someone would be right with me and sure enough I had a lovely young lady assisting me within a few minutes. I told her I wanted to try the new foundation and had a lot of questions, she sat me down and proceeded to tell me all about the product before I even asked anything! Any questions I did ask, she had no problem answering. I ended up buying the Bare skin foundation (which is AMAZING!) along with another $ 100 worth of product.
On another trip to my new favorite makeup store I was helped by 2 other employees and they were equally as amazing as the first! It was a little slower so they were both taking the time to talk to me and educate me on some of their other products, mainly skincare this time. Both ladies raved about the new 7 day detox so of course I HAD to get it. All I can say, they did not lie, its definitely something I’m willing to invest in every few months. My skin looks and feels better than ever!
Its such a shame when people take the time to write bad reviews but hardly anyone takes the time to write the good ones. I mean, I can’t imagine anyone coming out of a bare minerals store looking like a clown. All the employees look beautiful and flawless, very natural. Mean girls work here? Nope, not even one. Employee had sleeves rolled passed her hands? Seriously? I was freezing the last time i was in that store, but I suppose they should suffer in order to look «professional».
I love the product, I love this store and I recommend it to everyone!

Came into the store today to look for a new face lotion. The employee that I spoke with referred me to a moisturizer that she knew nothing about, didn’t know what the scent was or what was in it. She was not very pleasant, she clearly was upset about the fact that she was working on a Sunday. Also, she had her sleeves rolled down over her hands. This bugged me more than her rude demeanor– at least LOOK professional.
My friend was speaking to another employee who was more knowledgable, but was sitting down and just was completely uninterested. She didn’t even bother standing to help him.
The store itself was beautiful and the product is the same anywhere. I will not be visiting the store again, it is definitely not worth their uneducated, rude employees.

Everyone that works here goes above and beyond to give great service. The level of artistry and knowledge that this team has is impeccable. Especially Pashanna, Jennie, Drinah, Cammie & Richard!!! They will go out of their way to make sure you leave feeling beautiful!

Love Bare Escentuals!
Totally dislike this location. A couple years back they changed managers and almost all employees. Customer service is lacking. I’d now prefer to order online, rather than go into the store.
Disappointing because my mom and I loved visiting the shop and seeing some of our favorite girls at BE.

This is where the mean girls have gone to work. An empty store with three sales clerks and all too busy to help me. Eventually when the acknowledged my existence and put their make up on me I looked 20 years older and horrible. Stay away!!!

I can thank Bare Escentuals for my new addiction to makeup. Their products are amazing and oh so affordable! The Topanga branch is by far my favorite!
I had my engagement session make up donethere and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! I truly felt beautiful as I walked outta their store!

The store inside Westfield Topanga is my favorite. I wasn’t sure what to expect, since I have very sensitive skin and not every make up can be used on my face, so I decided to try Bare Minerals after hearing conversations about how great it looks.
Well, first of all the store itself is very welcoming. I didn’t have any pushy associate trying to sell me something. All I said it was I need some further info about the product. There was this nice girl, can’t remember her name, she told me to take a sit and she started explaining one by one each type of foundation.
(Keep in mind that the whole kit is only $ 70,why I say only, cos it has two types of foundation, one finishing touch, one warmth for all-​face and three brushes, along with a DVD).
The associate showed me how to apply step by step. At first didn’t like the feeling, but few minutes later it just adjusted into my face, and it looked (still looks) flawless. Really takes a process to buy it, but it’s worth it. In pictures especially looks really good. ;)
I have tried from CD to Lancome all the types of foundations, this is by far the best. And the reason why I give it 5 stars, is because they have a very helpful and nice stuff. I’m not crazy on spending hours on a make-​up counter, but when there is great service and good results, it’s always useful to share it with fellow Unilocalettes!
This store+Bare MIneral make up kit = Satisfied consumer looking great ;)

I love this store. I just recently got hooked on the mdFormulations skin care line that they carried. After going for a facial recently I learned that it is important to have a skin care treatment with glycolic acid to sluff off the dead skin and bring out the new layer. This product was excellent for me! I was so upset to hear that they are discontinuing the line for some reason. The good news is that the product has their own website that you can order from. The salesgirls failed to inform me about that, which makes me wonder exactly how interested in my well being they really are.

Love these products… hope they never discontinue their stuff!

BE is the only place that I will shop for makeup and skin care products. Granted, it gets costly because everything adds up quickly, but it is so worth it. Somewhere along the line my skin decided to get really sensitive, so just about any makeup or other skin care products make me break out in an oh-​so-​not-​attractive way. Their tagline is kinda cheesy — «makeup so pure you can sleep in it» — but it’s totally true. I got one of my best friends hooked on it, and my mom too. They also come out with all sorts of fun colors for eye shadow, and have great combo purchases with complementary color combos. The staff are usually great, and the good ones will let you know which colors work for your skin tone, and which ones don’t. They can also instruct you on the best ways to apply the makeup to make it look the way you want it to.
Most everything is very natural based, but I’m really picky on ingredients in things. The only objectionable ingredient I have come across is «carmine», which is used as a reddish color in a few of their products. If you don’t know, carmine is also used as coloring in food products (think ruby red grapefruit juice, for example), and yes, it is natural. however, the natural product it is derived from are cockroach shells. so yay — natural, but major ick — drinking cockroaches or putting them on my face.
So long as I steer clear of the carmine products, I’m way good to shop here. And because of their fabulous skin care line, my skin has never looked better. And they have points cards, and you save $ 10 for every $ 120 you spend. Happy shopping!
**Just an extra tip, too. Everyone is nice, but easily my favorite salesperson is Lori. She is incredibly knowledgeable and will help you find the right products for you without being pushy about it. I strongly suggest asking for her help. You won’t be sorry! **
