Try Bare Escentuals Not-Yet-Released Foundation Now (FREE!)

Raise your favorite tap, swirl, buff brush if you're a Bare Escentuals' fanatic.

Bare Escentuals - fans, you know this story - is the mineral makeup company that started the craze. They're doing it again with the first-ever matte version of their best-selling bareMinerals foundation.

This matte version is everything you love about the skin-lovin' pure crushed original formula, only it controls and absorbs oil, minimizes pores, and promotes cell turnover for smoother skin. Love!

It's launching later this summer (and only Sephora will have it!), but you can try it before it comes to shelves, FREE. Get a 10-day sample in the shade of your choice, plus a baby kabuki brush, by entering BEMATTE at checkout on sephora.com.

I received this news in a Sephora Beauty Insider email a couple days ago. Anxious to try it, I was about to place an online order at sephora.com when I read the fine print: "Not valid in Canada". What's the point of having Sephora stores here if we have none of the perks?

Canada has a different FDA than the U.S. Because of the different standards in SPF a lot of Sephora products are not available there yet. Until the Canada FDA approves of the Bare Escentuals new foundation (because it contains SPF), you probably can not get it until then. Just a guess....

Yes, the second poster makes a good point. I know people overseas and in Canada get upset that Sephora does offer certain things or ships to certain countries but it isn't to be mean- there are just different regulations on things or what can be shipped. It is unfortunate, I know, but understand that it is really out of Sephora's control.

I would really like to know whether this is available in stores...I've looked on the website but it doesn't mention it, I look here and it says with a purchase through the site but I distinctly remember the email saying its available in stores

Hmm this sounds really interesting. I know I am a die hard fan of Bare Minerals and want to convert everyone, but some people HATED the fact that it had shimmers in it. But now those people can happily enjoy the awesome coverage! I can't wait till this comes out.

This product isn't available in stores - YET. Only Sephora will carry it, and Sephora shoppers get to have a sneak preview of it with this free sample.

Yes the samples are available in stores. If you go to a "freestanding" Sephora (one in a mall) just mention it at the cash register. If you go to a Sephora inside of JCPenny's then you need a print out of the email you recieved so that they can scan your barcode on the flyer.

I absolutely LOVE it!! I got the sample after I placed an order online, and I couldn't believe this was a free 10 day sample! I can't wait for the full size to be released. Thank You Sephora!!
