Remember how I said I was a whore for cosmetics. I was trying to avoid
trying this. I have found other mineral make ups that I like, but I finally
couldn't resist so I went through a test run at the mall. Holy Mary Mother
of Christ this shit is awesome.

I'm not a make up person. I hate the crap. But when I do go out I put the stuff on my face. I have always wanted to get this stuff and give it a try. I figure if I'm going to use it so rarely then I might as well get the good stuff right? My fear is matching skin tones. How hard is that?
I'd suggest finding a makeup counter where you can test it. However, each kit comes with a lighter shade and a darker shade so you have something a bit darker for the summer months. That part I LOVE.
I will have to try yours a few times, although I'm sure it's not exactly my color. I'm still discouraged from getting sucked into anything since the SheerCover kit that I ordered was nothing like they say. :{ I was however ALMOST sucked in by antoher info-mercial the other day for that one airbrush make up thing that you add drops of make up to. I bet I'd hate that too. I just need new skin......Maybe I'll look into a face transplant ;)
R2 we need to go the place in the mall where I got the kit. I told the girl I was interested and she did my face up for me so I could decide if I liked the stuff or not. We'll make a trip over there one of these days.
Cool! Maybe they will even have some cool crap to play around with at the Womens Expo on Friday. Can't wait to go, cuz I'm a nerd like that......
Did they do your face the day you went in the limo?
i wore this stuff for years but recently switched to Mary Kays version of it. i like it better - you get more in each jar and it is a lot cheaper. i think the bare minerals was about $25 and the MK is $18.
I've heard MK is quite good too. Do they have the version of the mineral veil too? That's the part I love so damn much. I don't have to powder my nose ONCE during the day! I combined it with beauticontrol primers (clear and green) and holy hell I look in the mirror and think I'm decent! Yes, Robin that was the place that did my fake-up for the concert. I bet they will have a booth at the expo!
funny because i just couldn't get excited about the mineral veil. i gave mine away. i'll ask my MK lady if they have it though. i found that MK actually blended with my skin tone better than the BE stuff, too.
Hm, maybe I'll get in touch with the MK lady....
But I used this for years with great success- sensitive skin PLUS hard to match skin tone. I mixed my colors a lot to adjust to the shades that vary by seasons.
I'm on my makeup quest currently because my makeup bag went missing.... :( (All my brushes too!)
Marie -- I COMPLETELY agree! This is the best stuff. I have used it for 3 years, maybe longer. When I started, I bought one of those get started kits too. I have sort of a weird skin tone (fair but kinda pink), so I ended up combining two colors. More expensive to buy, but it does last me twice as long.
And the Mineral Veil is the best! I also find, surprisingly, that even in the humid summer I rarely have to touch up my face during the day. It rocks!
Is it going to keep my greasy face under control? You know my problem with that Marie.....
