Great Blush, Why are you getting rid of it?

Hi BareMinerals, Your loose powder blush is really one of the best products on the market for those with sensitive skin who want a clean, high pigment blush formulation. I use Laughter and Golden Gate, and find them to be really lovely buildable formulas that can be light and sheer, or dramatic and... high color. Once you get the hang of the application process, its truly wonderful how much control you have and the variety of looks that you can create. I have been using your blush for nearly 15 years. Why are you getting rid of the original products and colors that have built your brand? Laughter was a beautiful peachy pink. As someone with sensitive skin, your products were wonderful, and I would have been a lifetime buyer. Its truly dismaying to see the decline in your original products and formulations since Leslie Blodgett has stepped down from the helm. The new compact formulations, such as Gen Nude, are full of dimethicone and various silicone additives. They are not viable alternatives for those who experience dermatological issues related to mineral oil. First you decimated the skin care line from wonderful formulas, to products full of dimethicone, and now you are pushing out the beautiful old cosmetic formulas. Why are you not listening to your long time customers? BareMinerals was a wonderful brand. The customer service used to be exceptional. Now, I feel the company is relying on slick and trendy marketing and sacrificing the quality that was a hallmark of the BareMinerals brand. I understand a consulting firm has probably told you to market towards younger millenials, ease of use, compacts, etc. Its unfortunate that a reviewer is a klutz and dropped her blush on the floor. However, any product, panned or loose, will experience damage or loss when dropped on the floor. This is not a product quality issue. This is user error. As an older millenial, your makeup prices were always worth the cost because of the high quality, pigmentation, and clean formulations. Your products lasted forever, and were beautiful, classic palettes that were natural, and eternally stylish. They could be used in a variety of settings, from casual to professional, evenings out, to weddings and black tie. Take notes from the CEO of Domino's pizza. Listen to your customers. You lost my business on your skin care reformulation. Please don't be foolish and lose what is left of it by getting rid of the original makeup.
