Bare minerals

Hi all just need some help please. I bought the bare minerals starter kit with the tubs a while back and I have run out and would like some more. Now I was just going to get another kit as its good but saw two versions of a one in a case which is £10 cheaper. Now the first kit has similar to the original starter kit but the warmth and the veil is smaller. Then I saw the ready pressed foundation in similar case too.

Now I would just like to know which is better the pressed or the tubs. I kinda don't want to buy the tub one as it is smaller tubs so won't ladt as long.

Thanks guys.

    Can anyone advise on which bare mineral case I should get. I don't mind the £39 as it will be a product that will last
    For ages.

  • They don't last for ages for me.

    perhaps the pressed ones are better for that

    My daughter loves the pressed one.
    If I bough anymore (I have some) it would be pressed.
