Bare Escentuals: FREE 10-Day Foundation Sample + Brush

by Tara Kuczykowski on April 12, 2009 · 33 comments

Bare Escentuals Free SamplePick up a free 10-day sample of Bare Escentuals Foundation plus a Mini Buki Brush at any Bare Escentuals Boutique near you.

Don't have a BE Boutique nearby? Order your free BE sample online with just a $3.95 shipping and handling charge. This is a fantastic way to try the Bare Minerals Foundation!




Bare Escentuals is my absolute favorite makeup ever. Yes, it's pricier than your average drugstore brand, but I'm still using the initial kit that I bought nearly two years ago! Granted I don't wear makeup every day, but you really do get a lot of mileage out of it.

Do I have any other Bare Escentuals addicts out there?!?

(Thanks, Pooja!)

I LOVE bare essentials!! I bought my starter pack a year and a half ago and still use it. Its so fast and it looks great and doesn't feel like makeup. I am going to get this sent to me. Thanks for the notification

Is this deal only good at the boutiques or are they offering it at dealer locations (i.e. Sephora)?

Good question, Dani! I'm not really sure. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call your nearest Sephora to inquire about it. Please let us know what you find out!

love this! I also am still using the same starter kit from over a year ago.. so the $60 spent on it wasn't that bad!

Not only do I love the foundation, I love the blush and eye shadows! The starter kit is definitely worth the investment and if you have an Ulta where you live, they are always sending 20% off your purchase coupons or $3 off a $10 purchase if you sign up for their free rewards program. If you save the 20% off coupon for your starter kit, you would only be paying $48 plus tax!

Love BE! I wear makeup every day and the regular size foundation lasts me a bit over a year. The mineral veil powder lasts me even longer. Yep, it's pricer than mineral makeup at the drugstore, but so much better and worth the extra little bit you have to spend.

BE is the best! Tried a cheaper mineal brand, and it just didn't cover like BE. I have the world's most ornery skin - sensitive and very fair. Love it!

My name is Sara and I'm an addict! It is insane when you start getting over 100 eyecolors..... but they truly do last FOREVER. One of my favorite products is the Soft Focus Glee All Over Face Color. Use it every time I do my make up!

Does anyone know how long this offer will last at the boutiques?

Is there a coupon to print or do you just have to show up and ask for it??

Is Sephora offering this?

There's no end date listed, so I'd imagine it's while supplies last. You just have to show up and ask for it, and I'm not sure if Sephora is included in the stores that are offering it. I'll see if I can find anything out, but we have family coming over today, so if someone finds out first, please leave a comment!

Click on your state and it will tell you all participating stores. Only two in NC, so I'll be ordering it.

I have been to ulta, sephora and you just get your skin matched and they give you a 10-day trial kit with a mini brush and if you go to the boutique they make you a sample and a brush. I have gone to all three. If they do not have your color and you still want a sample just say I will take one anyway so I can give it to one of my friends.

Got it! Love it! Wear it all the time.

the sample is great for traveling when you don't want to take the full size one!

Looks like the offer is only good at the actual boutiques. At least you can get it online!

I ordered the free sample when it first became available and I have to say I'm impressed with this product. I've grown tired of liquid makeup and the mineral powder is truly a refreshing alternative..with great results!

I went online to place my order and could not decide between the light and medium since summer is nearly here. Clicked both...both showed as free with just the $3.95 ship cost!!
WOOOT Oh and it also includes the Rare Cleanser Sample Packette to try.

Why does everything have a catch? If it's not pay shipping and handling, then it's join something or sell something. I feel if something is supposed to be free, then it's free. No strings, no ten mile long surveys etc. Thanks for listening.

This is not a duplicate. I was complaining about the fact that everything has a catch to it. If it's not pay s/h then it's join something or sell something. I just wish when you say free you mean free. Thanks

Tina, the offer is free if you pick it up in a store. I think it's very generous for them to offer an alternative for those that don't live near a BE Boutique location. Even though I live in Columbus, I'd still spend at least $4 in gas driving to and from the mall to pick up the sample, so I think $3.95 for shipping and handling is very reasonable.

Neat! Thanks for the heads up about being able to try a couple of colours. My mum and sister are in Canada and I might order them one each to try (I never wear make-up so no point! haha!)

Just ordered my samply via the website and we shall see...I believe I will be pleased. Let my hubby know what I was doing, and he is wanting me to find free samples/coupons for hunting equipment!! HA! Anything is possible I told him!

I just got my free sample today! I ordered online so I did have to pay the$4 shipping but they sent me 3 samples! I am so excited!

29 Lauren April 21, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Collette W, I'm so excited to hear that :D I asked for three to get one for my sister and mum since they're in Canada and haven't tried this stuff and I've been trying to get them to to see if they like it :D I was hoping they would send all three, so it sounds promising :D Yeah!

30 Melissa April 22, 2009 at 6:45 pm

It appears that you can order up to three samples total per transaction. I tried to order four, but on the final confirmation page, it removed one - leaving me with three. Still only $4.22 for shipping ...

Mine came in the mail today. I ordered 2 and got the free sample cleanser. The cleanser is a powder that "activates" when wet, so I'm excited to try it. the little mini brushes are so cute too.

I went to a BE Boutique today and they said they didn't have anymore because it's a promotion that's been going on for a couple of months now.

They still made me a very small sample but didn't give me a brush.
