I recall Leslie sold the company and is no longer involved. 

I see some of their products here on the website, but am wondering if this product line is still promoted regularly.

Do they still have special promos at Christmas?

@Tinkrbl44    I'm not sure about ownership now...may have been gobbled up by a larger company. I do see a few times a year a offer of the powder concealer or at the holidays, a gift set of concealer and special size of the powder foundation. I'm not sure BM is a big money maker at Q anymore, so it's not shown regularly.

Shiseido is the parent company of Bare Escentuals/Minerals.

So I guess they test on animals since Shiseido does?

It seems like Bare Minerals is rarely on QVC. I do see them once in a while with one product or even a small kit, but nothing like they used to be when Leslie had the company! I still like their powder foundation on occasion and a couple of their blushes...

I was just thinking of this company the other day.  The Bare Mineral selection is getting smaller and smaller in my local Sephora/Ulta stores.

I definitely miss their mineral products (eye shadows, brows, blush), as they really worked for me.  I miss the shows and the Christmas/holiday sets they would do,  I always bought their TSV as I felt they were a real bargain.  Makeup was fun and not a chore. I think the new owners really scr3wed over the core customers. Big mistake judging by the shrinking inventory. Oh well. I'm "swirling, tapping and buffing" on I guess.

They are alive and well.  I usually get my products online at their website.  Sephora & Ulta carry some of the products.  Love them.  So natural looking on the skin.  I get lots of compliments on how nice my skin looks.  That's what I like.  I don't want to hear how good my makeup looks.

I have no idea.

Been said many times before, but after Leslie and Cristina sold BE and Philosophy, things were never the same.  Speaks alot to the quality of small companies vs huge power houses that simply want to make money.  How I miss all the great kits from BE and the ORIGINAL Amazing Grace and Pure Grace.  NOT the same at all.  So sad.

I really miss the old BareMinerals when Leslie first came to the Q.  The kits were fabulous and the shows were so fun.  I'm still using Butter Drench as my nightly moisturizer and my holy grail lip Marvelous Moxie Chase Your Dreams (I have hoarded this).  I do still like their mascaras.  Once the company was sold, it was never the same.
