NWR: Calling all Bare Essentials Makeup users. . . .

I use Bare Minerals makeup and LOVE it. I was looking for it on Ebay and came across a 'knock off brand' I am not sure whether to buy it or not. Would you / do you use knock off brands?

The ingredients listed are the same as my bare minerals foundation. The size is ever so slightly smaller, but the price is a lot smaller (BM is .09 oz for $25, yet the knock off is .08 oz for $8)

Please take my poll THANKS ! ! !

(ETA, I am sorry if this sounds like a totally DUMB question)

I personally wouldnt get it.... If youre using bare escentuals because you have sensitive skin.. its prob not a good idea to go for the cheaper option. then again, for 8 bucks, you can always just try it out then chuck it if its not as good as BE!

Have you priced it at Ulta? I know they have the starter set with brushes and you always get coupons in the paper.

I would be leary of a knock off -since I have sensitive skin.

I wouldn't and not b/c I'm a make-up snob. I just wouldn't buy anything off eBay like make-up. I think Physician's Formula came out with an all-mineral formula. Why don't you try them first? They're a lot less expensive.

LuvMyAlfonse has an excellent point... Ebay isnt the best place to buy makeup...

I was talking to my mom about this, and she gave the me the name of a few Ebay sellers that her and my sister have bought Bare Minerals knock off's from. She (and my sister) say it's just as good, and a LOT cheaper. She has had NO reaction to it and my sister has EXTREMLY sensitive skin !

I have tried the ULTA knock off and theirs are good, but this Ebay stuff is cheaper. (it also lists the same ingredients as BM)

Thanks for the opinions though!
