Posted by 124 Comments

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Ashley.  Congrats!

A couple of weeks ago, I told you about Bare Escentuals‘ new campaign, Rethink What Matters. Every week, Bare Escentuals, invites you to be a part of the conversation.  They want to hear what you think about a variety of topics by answering 5 short questions.  This week’s topic is “Rethink the Need to Find Yourself.”

I’m 32 years old and am very content with where I’m at.  I have more education than I could have ever imagined, two incredible children, am married to the man of my dreams, have traveled the world, and bought a house by the age of 30.  As a child, the only thing I really remember dreaming about was becoming a mom.  I’ve not done anything else in my life that compares to motherhood.

Have you found your true passion? Are you what you wanted to be when you grew up?  These are just two f the queBare Escentuals is asking women across the country.  So head on over…join the conversation…and enter to win something fun from Bare Escentuals.  Each week they’ll be 500 winners.  And this week’s giveaway is bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation. Here is a bit more info from the site:

Our Original SPF 15 Foundation gives you an incredibly flawless, even application and picture-perfect skin. Its silky, soft texture looks like a powder, but it feels like a cream and buffs on beautifully without settling into fine lines or drying out the skin. Made with only the purest, highest quality ingredients — and none of the chemicals and preservatives that can irritate skin.

Win It! One of you will win a SPF15 Foundation in the color/shade of your choice.  Simply visit the site.  Then leave me a comment related to this week’s topic.  Comments will close on February 25, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit).

  7. They have a spot on the website that helps you find your correct foundation color by looking at models on the site that represent each tone. Helpful!

  14. I liked that they were asking the true to heart questions. Too often it is about the physical appearances. Don’t get me wrong. I love doing the things that make me feel beautiful on the outside as well, but nothing makes me happier than doing what I love to do.. writing. Writing is my passion and I indulge most days by sitting down and writing an hour or so as often as I can. I haven’t always pursued my passion as an occupation but I am trying to rectify that now to make writing my life’s work. You are never too old or too busy to pursue your dreams.

  15. I love this make up and these are cute quizzes. They seem to change every couple of days. I am still asking myself what I want to be grow up! What matters the most is your family, but also taking care of yourself and loving yourself.

  20. I think we find ourselves when we lose ourselves – lose ourselves in nature, lose ourselves in service to others, lose ourselves in worship to God. Then we find ourSelves.

  25. The questions were interesting. I’m not sure if I am what I wanted to be when I was a child, but I’m doing what I want to be doing now. I still have bigger ambitions but I think everyone does. When stop being ambitious I think you start to stand still.

  28. I took today’s quiz at Bare Escentuals–Rethink What Matters. It was interesting to me that 71% of women agree with me–that peace and quiet is what centers us. I spent too many years being too busy; now I realize the importance of “down time” for my sanity!

  31. Nicholina Harding is sooo right. Once you stop trying to force yourself to find yourself, I think you”ll find that the true you will step forward.

  39. I am in the process to reinvent myself. My baby is getting ready to go off to college in one year and will have all kinds of time on my hands!!! What will I do? I hope to find more time to pursue my jewelry making skills at another level. That sounds great!

  43. Alas.. havn’t found my true passion, but I’m a great dabbler in many things and have found a way to be joyful with the simple things in life.

  45. I am exactly where I want to be with a wonderful husband, four children, a home, lots of traveling–I couldn’t ask for anything more.

  46. I did not know that it was “clinically proven” to improve skin over time. I thought it covered, but I did not know it actually improved the skin.

    Reply

  48. I really have a passion for helping people think about how to be their very best selves. It’s called being a maximizer; I love helping people get from good to outstanding!

    and…I’m a huge fan of bare minerals foundation!

  59. Golden Medium in matte please. Sounds like they really care about the environment and lately I tend to support companies that do!

  62. I have always seen BM and thought it would be a good product. I know a few people who use it and they say it is the best product they have ever used. I am very interested in this and would love to get it in the Matte SPF 15 foundation fairly light.

    Reply

  63. I’m certainly not where I thought I would be, but I am incredibly happy with where I am. Our second child is due next month, my husband is finishing his MBA this semester (in hopes to get a better job so that I will be able to stay home with our children) and we continue to grow together as a team more and more every day!

  64. original in golden medium. i think i’m finally starting to find myself and have finally found what i really want in life. i’m not quite where i want to be yet, but i’m getting there! and that makes me happy.

    Reply

  66. I’m definitely not where I thought I’d be in life but sometimes you just have to go with the flow (breakups, layoffs and unemployment). The important thing is to keep your chin up and just keep moving forward.

  68. I learned that they want everyone to use sunscreen for a healthy foundation. Theirs is clinically proven to improve the look of skin over time!

  70. very interesting. i took the quiz and i got to thinking about centering myself; i’m not sure that i know how to relax. that might be a good goal for this year.
    i’ve always wanted to try bare escentuals. thank you so much for hosting this giveaway!

  77. I use another brand of mineral makeup but have always wanted to try this brand. However, with 5 kids and one income I tend to stick to the lower priced ones. I’m sure, though, that is worth every penny!

  82. When I was on my honeymoon, the hotel had a Bare Escentual shampoo that I LOVED. I went to the store to buy it, and they had discontinued it. I was so sad. 🙁

    Reply

  83. The quiz asked me about my passions and if I have found myself yet – can’t say I have but it’s fun looking! 🙂

  87. they wpuldnt let me take the one u took but i took a public display of affection one and found out that im a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes down to showing any kinda of loveydovey feelings!

  99. I’ve been meaning to try mineral makeup and leaning toward bare essentuals as the brand. This would make a great start. Thanks.

  100. I pursued my dream about being a poet and an artist until illness and death came to my family and then I myself became seriously ill. Years went by, I did a television program on the arts locally (little pay, very taxing and stressful but it did help the artists themselves) and now this site has me re-thinking my priorities: besides showing collages professionally and doing music and movie reviews I may go back to the poetry/writing world and try to write a novel, and even though I did well in writing intially (winning many awards) this scares me!

  105. I love this line! My sister gave me some for my birthday and I’m almost out! Its the best brand I have ever used!

    Reply

  110. I love Bare Escentuals–just started using it a few months ago 🙂 Hmm–rethink the need to find yourself? So far I like where I”m at right now in life–I love my job and my family is the best!

    Reply

  112. I took the quiz and thought it was interesting and made you think some. I agree that I’m very content with where I am in my life, but do know that I should “treat” myself a bit better. Thanks.

    Reply

  114. The quiz asked what makes you passionate. I say who can fit that in one small line in the quiz. And if you can fit it in one line, are you really being passionate?

  120. When I was younger I wasn’t sure about what I wanted to do. Career wise there were a lot of dead ends. I’m happy where I am now even though it might not have been what I imagined. I always wanted a husband, a family and my own house. I have that and a job I really love. My passion is my family.

    Reply

  121. I remember what I wanted to be as a little kid. It’s changed as I’ve grown up, though it’s stayed in the same general area with the same basic idea. I have trouble with motivation, so I haven’t achieved as much as I thought I would have by now. I need to learn to focus. Anyway, Bare Escentuals asks a lot of questions with no easy or short answers. Essay questions need more than a small text box for input. =/
