I'm incredibly fair skinned & have really dark circles
and some red scarring.
I start with applying primer, then use my flocked
sponge, dry, to apply a layer of Bisque and then Well
Rested. Top with foundation and finish the rest of my
face and it looks great! It covers everything SO well.
If I have a really bad blemish; I do the same as
above. But before putting on my foundation, I wet the
tip of the sponge, and in the lid of the Well Rested,I
make a paste of WR and Visine and dab at the spot
trying to blend out the edges. I let that dry and then
put on my foundation. (blending a little more if
needed.)
I've never been able to conceal my dark circles. I've
tried drugstore brands of cosmetics all the way up to
using Dermablend, but everything left me looking cakey
or orangish. BE is awesome!!
Hope this helps. =0)

It's on at 8pm EST too. :) I'm never good at figuring out my time by looking at the other time zones, LOL.
There is only one new item. . . .
BE 7pc Deluxe Spring Collection
item # A60637
price $75.00
I don't have a description, but I know the eye colors are pink and the blush is Sorbet (not new color, also a pink shade). The Today's Special Value has sold out today, so the kit may be on a One Time Only tonight which means that it would be cheaper I believe. So keep your eyes open. :) Thanks, Lisa

Hey Mich! What do you use your flocked sponge for? I think a lot of people under-rate this cheap little tool. :) Maybe we all started sharing our experience with them, others will give them a try. ;) Thanks, Lisa

Hey Victoria =0)
I was thinking about this the other day as well..
wondering if I had the right amount? I hate having to
wash out the shadow brushes so often. (too many colors
to choose from!) =0)
To answer your question; I have 2 for foundations, a
concealer, a blush, a clear radiance/gossamer brush, a
mineral veil, and a dispensing brush.. then of course
there are the 4 shadow and 3 liner brushes. I think
the most important tool in my bag is my flocked sponge
though. I just love that thing!
Have a great night,
Mich

Since I've only been using BE 3-4 weeks, I only have the kabuki,
flawless face, tappered blush, angled face, doubel ended eye shadow,
2 eyeliner brushes,a flat head shadow brush, a fat round shadow
brush, eyebrow brush, another eyeshadow brush, 2 lip brushes, small
conceiler brush and I also got the eyelash comb. I got my 12 year
old daughter the Flawless face, and I have ordered some brushes from
Lisa this weekend, but I don't remember which ones, for my daughter.

I was just wondering how many BE brushes you all have?
I find every morning it seems like I use each one at least once.
So, how many do you have? Just to serve my curiosity.

I've been reselling old DVDs that I don't watch anymore. most of them
are collectors editions, plus collector books and shoes. I've made
over 400 dollars in a week, plus another 400 I made from selling an
old computer and 50 I made from selling a BROKEN iPod! (of course,
I'm not including the 100 dollars I SPENT on a Fendi Bag on ebay!)

Not that they know everything, but 2 weeks ago on "The View" they had a woman
who
was explaining that you don't need to spend a fortune on "Makeup Counter
Purchase"
rather, you could buy things at your local drug store that were just as good.
She did
a short stint on Mascara, these were her recommendations:
Mascaras
Revlon Fabulash
Maybelline Unstoppable
Almay Intense i-Color
Here was the blurb about her, and the segment, on theview website:
Then beauty expert Paula Begoun told us we can stop spending fortune on beauty
products found at department stores and salons because the items found at your
local pharmacy are just as good and cost a whole lot less. Below you will find a
list of
products featured on today's show. For more beauty advice, please refer to
Paula's
books Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter or Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care
Products Without Me.
Maybe it will help,

Hi Keri :0)
I wear contacts too and have worn both Maybelline
Great Lash and Rimmel's Extreme Definition (both
waterproof) for months now with no problems.
I tried to use L'Oreal Double Extend for awhile, but
the little fibers kept getting onto and under my
contacts.. it was aweful.
I've had pretty good luck with the one's I'm using now
though.
Hope this helps. :0)
Mich
Hi Keri! Maybelline has a new mascara out that doesn't budge at all. It's called Unstoppable! My waterproof mascaras still seem to smudge under my eyes, but not this one. It was around $7 at Walgreens. Hope this helps. ;) Thanks, Lisa
Keri Bloomer <keribloomer@...
That is helpful. I was thinking about trying the Rimmel and now I will.
Thanks!
I wish I could help, but I don't wear contacts. When you say it gets
in your eyes, do you mean the mascara flakes off and gets in your
eyes, or do you accidentally hit the eye with the brush?
Hi Ladies,
Perhaps I'm trying to do too much at once! I decided to start wearing make-up in December and then I decided to try contacts for the first time in January. I bought what I thought was WAY too expensive mascara at Sephora and I loved it. When I needed new mascara I decided to try L'Oreal. I found that it was getting on my contacts (I don't understand how) and screwing up my vision. I really thought mascara was mascara. Does any one have recommendations for contact lense wearers or should I just shell out the BIG bucks for the high end mascaras? Thanks, Keri
Hey Myra! I'm an Aveeno user too! I use the Balancing Bar with collideal oatmeal both AM and PM. I also use 2.5% BP after washing my face. I REALLY need a mousturizer b/c my skin is a bit dry. I have very sensitive combination skin and I don't use a mousturizer now b/c they have all broke me out. I was wondering if you might have some input on using the Daily Mousturizing Lotion on my face?? Did you learn anything from the studies that said to only use facial lotions on the face or anything? I have had such good luck with the oatmeal bar, I thought it'd be smart to try an oatmeal lotion and the only product that has the collideal oatmeal is the Daily Mousturizing Lotion. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Lisa :)

Hi Michelle,
I just wanted to add a comment to Jade's response (which was
excellent) in regards to skin care regimens. Philosophy is a
wonderful product line but can be a bit pricey so if money is a
deciding factor you might want to first try some over the counter non-
comedogenic (won't clog pores- the label should specifically
state "non-comedogenic") cleansers. I work in the pharmaceutical
research field and do mostly dermatology research. I've worked on
several acne studies and every Dermatologist I've worked with has
recommended the following four over the counter products as good
basic skin cleasers (if acne is becoming a problem be sure that you
pick a product that has salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as an
ingredient): Aveeno, Cetaphil, Dove and Neutrogena. You should also
keep in mind that a good moisturizer with sunscreen should also be
used, regardless if you have oily, dry, or combination skin. Each of
those lines also make good moisturizers. As for myself I'm partial
to Aveeno's Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser as it's strong enough
to clean my excess oil from my face but gentle enough that my face
doesn't turn red after using it. Aveeno's products are made with soy
extracts too which are very healthy for your skin.
I second Jade's comments about BE as well. I've been using it since
June and I will never use another make-up brand. My skin looks
healthy, glows and most of all is completely natural. Unless i'm
wearing eye shadows (and I absolutely LOVE playing with all the BE
eye colors- Lisa sells sample sizes at naturallyflawless.com which
makes it economical and easy to play around with colors) you would
never know I was wearing make-up. I truly believe you will enjoy BE
as much as all of us here have.
Have fun and good luck!

Hey Michelle! I'm so sorry, some how I missed your post and Jade's. I agree with Jade that you sound like a cool tone. I would suggest trying #3 Medium and #1 Fair. I doubt you are as fair as #1 Fair, but you can use it to mix with #3 Medium if #3 alone is too dark.
I agree with both Jade and Myra that BE will just make you look naturally beautiful. It doesn't give you that made up look at all. Even the eye and cheek colors are more sheer and just look gorgeous on.
I'm with Myra I LOVE Aveeno products! They are more 'natural' than the rest of the drugstore brands and they work wonderfully! I use the Balancing bar with collideal oatmeal. It's only around $3 a bar and it lasts about 3 months. This bar is the best thing I have found for my sensitive acne-prone skin. It keeps me clear and removes ever bit of my makeup. If you have any other questions at all, just ask. Thanks, Lisa :)

Is BE FDA approved??
Well I am sure that is
I heard her say once on QVC that they have to put an expriation date on
their foundation since they had a sunscreen it....as per FDA guidelines.

Hello,
We have a new article on our site written by Natalya from Russia. Do
make it a point to read the
article on that page. There is also a list of related links with the
best information.
Hello,
This email comes to you from " ehealthGuide.org ", your free guide to
good health.
We have recently started an online group to keep all our members
informed about the latest articles on health written by our medical
experts and also by our member's world wide.
Hello,
i'm new to the group and have a few questions. I saw the infomercial
and really like the look of this makeup. Problem, i never wear
makeup,never even really experimented much. my husband hates it. i
even went to a makeup counter and got my face "done" and i just looked
like a cheap hooker! i never thought it was for me. but i am 38 and
have freckles, they aren't real dark but it's annoying. and lately
i've been breaking out alot. i just don't like how my skin looks(yep,
getting older) would like to do something about it. but afraid to try
anything and know next to nothing. my problem: i can't tell what my
skin tone is. my veins look bluish, i have brown hair(that gets
reddish tints from the sun), i have blue eyes. i look terrible in
pinks and oranges,browns, Yuck! i wear alot of green(sage or a few
shades darker). i look good in true red(no orangey reds). i look good
in most blues and golden yellows. i never wear white(can't keep in
clean). i look good in rose colors. i do ok in black but it's not my
favorite color to wear. look good in purples too. anyone got any
advice for me. oh, my skin is light tone, i do tan easy but don't have
the patience for tanning. normally if i burn, it turns tan within 24
hours and i don't normally burn easy. Help! i'd love to try this stuff
but dont' know what to get.
thanks
michelle
Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the group! The girls here are great and Lisa is a great source to try the products without having to make a large financial commitment to something you don't know if you'll like or not.
First of all, it'd be pretty darn hard to look like a hooker with BE! =0) That's the good news. The less good news is that it really won't cover freckly type spots (at least with me it doesn't, but that's not my goal). BE is "you" kicked up a notch. It is a very natural makeup and it's not a mask like the makeup you've used in the past.
It sounds like you are cool toned, but Lisa is the expert at helping people pick the right shades for them. =0) As far as the breakouts, you may want to switch to a better skincare routine too. Most of the girls on the group love Philosophy products. I use and love them myself and they have really helped me with my skin issues in the amount of time I've used them (smoother surface, less breakouts, more even skin tone). My husband isn't one for me looking all made up either, but BE is so natural that you really don't look like you're wearing anything.
I hope you order some samples and try it out. It's truly an amazing product. =0)

Hi everyone!
I am a new user of BE (since last month) and i think this mineral
makeup is wonderful! (i didnt like to wear makeup before as i feel
uncomfortable with the texture of the foundations...) but BE is not
like that.. i am comfortable to wear it, and the makeup looks
natural.
Thats why i found and joined this group! hope i can learn more from
the other experts! ^^
nice to meet you everyone!

Ever wanted to try Bare Escentuals/Minerals make-up?
Check out . . .
www.naturallyflawless.com
Hi Bonnie! Do you use any primers? Sometimes a silicon based primer helps to fill in pores before applying your makeup. Also which product did you try to "pack" into the pores? The Mineral Veil really is the best product to use for this. Try taking a flocked sponge or taklon type brush and laying the Mineral Veil on top of the areas you are referring to. Then just apply your foundation and the rest of the products as usual. Give it a try and let me know if you need more help. Thanks, Lisa :)
Bonnie Talcott <bonnietalcott@...
Hi. I have the Bare Mineals starter kit. When I use the product it
seems to accenturate my lines and large pores. I even tried to get
the powder down into my pores (nose) and it wouldn't go. Any
Suggestions?

I love the mineral viel and have normal skin. I decided I love the
BE line so I have invested in the BE brushes. The flawless face brush
is a good one to get to see if you like the BE brushes, it is
versatile for foundation, blush or clear radiance.
Now do you all think this is a good start? I also wondered if I need
a separate brush for everything??
I think it's a great start :)
I don't use mineral veil but I have skin on the dry side.
I use a big face brush I got from CVS for like 5 bucks for my
foundation,then I use the flawless face brush for the clear
radiance,blush,or any other face color.
I bought some artist brushes from Wal Mart and they work great for lining!
You can get a big pack of different sized taklon brushes for about 8 bucks.
Jenn A
OK I have been reading all these messages and have decided to place
an order to try this stuff out! I have been over and over the
website and think I have finally decided but wanted some opinions.
Going with the Delightful Daffodils Kit that includes any six
products (6 week supply):
2.3 Med. Beige
Well Rested
Mineral Veil
Clear Radiance
Grace (eye)
Priceless (liner)

Hi Bonnie. I have the same problem, and I have tried all
the "tricks". I have to use a liquid foundation under my eyes and
nose. I really like Clinique Workout Makeup for this. I leave the
under eyes alone, but I can add BE color to my nose after the other
foundation. I tried using BE only over a primer a few ays ago, just
to make sure nothing had changed...but I just can't do it.
I know some other gals have had success using a flocked sponge and
some other things, but it doesn't work for me.
Also, when you first put BE on in the morning and look close in the
mirror, it looks like your lines jump out at you...but it settles in
and looks better in a bit. Plus, no one else should be that close!
Good luck, and keep trying...you will love it!

Hey V! All of those things (name brand tennies, dvd's, beanies, etc) are all successful on ebay it seems. :) Even your clothing that you are done wearing would probably be successful. Ebay is such a large market, that there is just about room for anything! Thanks, Lisa
V <sweetpuppylove@...
Same here. I would sell BE, but the market is already crowded, and I
wouldn't want to take customers from Lisa!
I have a bunch of Sketchers and Nike shoes I'm getting ready to sell,
and a ton of DVDs that are going on the eBay auction block
tomorrow...I was selling beanie babies for a while, maybe I'll go back
to that....I must ponder.
I was thinking of selling my PS2 and games, but it's the older hard
drive PS2. I never play it, but I'd hate to sell it then regret it
later. The only game I pay is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and even
then I play once a year.
Anyway, I'm rambling.

Hey Wendy! It's hard to choose a product. :) Bare Minerals was the third product I tried to sell. I started with my daughter's clothing, then baby hair bows, now Bare Minerals. All were successful, but I just had to find the right one for me. ;) It tends to take a lot of trial and error. Thanks, Lisa
Wendy <winnypooh@...
That's exactly my problem, and my point in the business market, I haven't decided what to
sell. I can't tell you the number of times I've said to my husband, "we need to figure out
what we are going to sell, get at a good rate, and get our business started so we can quit
our day jobs". :)
-Wendy
Thanks for sharing, Leslie! Didn't that just feel wonderful?? I started wearing BE about 7 months ago, and no one seemed to notice! I was sort of bummed about it, but I started using BE while I was out of work for 3 weeks after a surgery. Today at lunch, our department went out for a birthday. I mentioned that my son and I went to the 'makeup store' last night. Both of the ladies I was sitting with just looked at me. And then in unison, both said..."but you don't wear makeup!" I think that is the best BE compliment I have received. And now one of the ladies is chomping at the bit to go and get a makeunder! And was thrilled to hear about Lisa's website! Anyone else want to share?
Hugs,
Donna

You all know I love my BE. I have been using it now for about a week maybe a bit longer. I'm not bragging but I think I have told you all that I have always had pretty good skin. Even though BE feels good and I can tell the difference, I did not think anyone else could really tell the difference. Today when I dropped my daughter off to school one of the other moms came up to me and said that my skin looked so good, and "what kind of makeup was I using, BE?" LOL! Now, how in the world did she know that I was using BE! It really threw me
for a loop! I'm tickled that she noticed!!! Just thought I would share...:O)

something extra. I did win the video on e-bay, but still am
interested in the DVD. I don't think Lisa would mind, as I haven't
seen them on her web site. Maybe I can copy them, and then she could

Same here. I would sell BE, but the market is already crowded, and I
wouldn't want to take customers from Lisa!
I have a bunch of Sketchers and Nike shoes I'm getting ready to sell,
and a ton of DVDs that are going on the eBay auction block
tomorrow...I was selling beanie babies for a while, maybe I'll go back
to that....I must ponder.
I was thinking of selling my PS2 and games, but it's the older hard
drive PS2. I never play it, but I'd hate to sell it then regret it
later. The only game I pay is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and even
then I play once a year.
Anyway, I'm rambling.

That's exactly my problem, and my point in the business market, I haven't
decided what to
sell. I can't tell you the number of times I've said to my husband, "we need to
figure out
what we are going to sell, get at a good rate, and get our business started so
we can quit
our day jobs". :)

Hi Donna! That sounds like soo much fun! I'm so jealous of you girls that get to go the store! I just want to see it. :) Thanks for sharing your trip. Thanks, Lisa :)

Woo....I got home a little bit ago from the BE store. (Which, by the way, is smaller than my dining room!!!) I had my little one in tow....and they have EVERY color out in for little fingers to touch. I was the only one in the shop and I swear all three ladies zeroed in on the 6 yr old with busy hands! LOL. Of course, he wanted to touch and try everything! LOL. They did compliment us when we left since he was good and didn't touch any of the minerals. He did get a kick out of the tester bottles of perfume though! ROFL!
Anywho...when I walked in, and the one lady asked me if she could help me, I told her "I came for three things, and I don't want to look around or I will want to buy everything! Here's my credit card." But I wanted to share....the expandable travel bag....AWESOME! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. On my bathroom counter, I have my foundation and veil, well rested, glee, bisque, clear radiance, 3 eyeshadows, 3 liner shadows, and the five colors from the Goddess collection. All full size jars. (All others are in the cabinet in a train case.) I have them all set up on a tiered spice shelf that someone suggested. Would you believe that ALL that, plus 7 or so brushes and my mascara, lipsticks and glosses all fit in that case???? Now I can just zip it up and slide it in the drawer. If I have to dash around to leave somewhere I can just grab the whole thing! I think I'll have to get a different brush for my veil...it is too long for the case. Drat. LOL. I also got the
refillable compact....finally...I can touch up the veil at work! LOL. One little eyeshadow color (my favorite, Bare Skin), rounded out the trip. But oh....those perfumes sure were lovely! LOL. Guess where I'm sending hubby for Valentine's day? I made sure my son could remember and recite the scents I like before we left the store! LOL
Just wanted to share!
Hugs,
Donna

What color?
I have a brand new lip bud if anyone is interested.
Lisa
I can't stop you - I can't even stop myself ..... I got yet another order last night and realized I have over 40 eye colors - of which I wear 3, and one I mixed myself! Of course, the 4 green ones I can give to my girlfriend who wears greens (I don't) but besides that, I have NO idea what to do with everything!!
My box is full times 10!!
Tanya
I can't help myself! I ordered some more samples. At this rate, by
the end of next week, I'll probably have ordered every eye sample!
Someone stop me!!!!!!
OK, everybody needs to post more stuff, I need something to read
inbetween working! Is this another sign of BE addiction:)
That's great! Cupcake is very pretty isn't it! Lisa :)

does anyone have the video that comes with the BE kit you order from
them directly? I would love to get a copy. I still haven't seen the
infomercial that BE does outside of QVC, and only saw a tiny bit of
the QVC show. The BE website has some short clips, but I just don't
think it's the same. I'll pay!!!
I haven't tried the BE, I sell mary kay and ussually use endless
performance, but the rimmell brushless is great, I've used it all
week, no flaking, clumps or smudges yet, (of course haven't cried or
sweat any)and went on so easy. My only problem is my lashes get so
long, I have to be careful before they dry.
That sounds so pretty!!! I'll have to try this look. :) Thanks, Lisa

I tried some of my new colors today. I'm very fair, strawberry blond
hair, blue eyes. I put promise on the lower lid, and also on the
outside half of the eye up to the brow, filled in the rest with
delight. Then I lined under my bottom lashes with Fairy. I lightly
dusted the whole eye with gossamer for an extra shimmer. My 12 year
old daughter even said she liked my makeup today. I ussual just wear
neutral colors lately.

For those of you who are like me, like to try new things but don't
want to spend a lot, the BE mascara, the one with no brush for
$15.00, well, Rimmell brand at walmart also makes one, they just came
out with it, only $5.00!!!! I tried it and wow!! I have to be real
carefull not to squint or open my eyes too wide before it dries,or I
end up with dots from top and lower lashes!
Oh wow!
I have been wondering about that brand.
Thanks so much,I will try some.

Hi everyone :))
I was wondering if I could borrow someone's nose?!
I have some samples of dupes of all the graces but since I've not smelled the originals I need someone to sniff them to see if they are true?
I would send you a cotton swap sniffie in a plastic baggie for you to sniff and then if they are true I'll make a little batch of soap and then send you a sliver of that to sniff?
I could probably use 2 people if anyone would do that for me?I would greatly appreciate it!

So if I have the "big" .3 ounce, that should last me 2-3 months if
I'm heavy handed when applying?
It's the same reason they weigh parrots in grams instead of ounces -- it
allows for a more detailed and accurate measurement with you're dealing
with small weights and quantities.

doesn't look like what you saw. You must have a really good camera

I wore it to work today, it was wonderful! I use BE and by the end of

I don't even need a eyeshadow primer when I use Photofinish, I just

If it were *me* I'd put a price on them (what you want for them) and offer them as a lot to whatever groups you belong to. If that doesn't work, I'd put them on eBay and let the bidders have a field day. Speaking of which, if anyone is interested, I have the following products available. Prices include shipping. Just email me privately if you see anything you want and I'm willing to take offers. It's going to go up on ebay tomorrow night, I just have to get around to putting them up there but if I can find homes for them here, I thought I'd try. (Lisa if this isn't ok, let me know and I'll pull the post). Thanks.

....those samples and those full sized shadows that you bought, and while they are beautiful colors, look icky on you?
I just went through my pathetic little stash of BE and BF (pathetic compared to some of you!) and I have maybe 15-20 colors of stuff I will never wear. I'd give them to my mom, but she is allergic to the BE, and the BF samples I have, she wouldn't wear either. And the friends I've discussed makeup with well....let's just say they are not too interested in anything they can't buy at Walmart or Dillards! I'd hate to just toss them.
So, what do you do with them?

Ok how many ounces is the full size jar you all are talking about. I
use a 0.06oz. jar in 3 months. Am I using too much then? I dont have
anything major to cover, just some redness on my cheeks that I have
always had.

Hey Leslie! In my opinion the bismuth-free shades are absolutely as good. Hopefully everyone else that has tried them will just in though. :) The shadows show up great and there is a great color selection. The ones under 'liners' are REALLY pigmented and can be used as shadows too. ;) If you have any other questions, just ask. Thanks, Lisa

I already have two drawers and am thinking about a third!!! Ha! I bought the cutest little black desk drawer organizers at Walmart and they hold all the jars and brushes so nicely. I love to open my drawers because all my BE is no neatly organized!!! The only 2 drawers in my house. My little 3yr old son loves to open the drawers and play in the brushes!!! If my hubby only knew!!!! Ha!!!
It is a good deal and they are really great shadows. You'll see! ;) Once you get them, make sure to post and let us know what you think. Thanks, Lisa :)

Hey guys.
I was wondering if anyone's been to the Mall of
America?
One of my friends and I have decided our families need
to miss us for awhile :) and are going to make a
trip there sometime in the next few months.
I just checked out the website and there are SOOO many
shops!!! It's almost overwhelming as I've never even
heard of a lot of them.
Do any of you have any favorites that I shouldn't
miss?
(besides the BE store of course.. that one will be
first AND last on my list! just in case I missed
something the first time through) LOL
Can you tell I'm just a little excited about this!?!
Thanks for the help!
Have a great day!!

Something really strange happened today. I received my automated mail shipment of my BE foundations and mineral veil from Bare Escentuals this morning. When I compared the mineral veils and foundations to the ones I already had, all of them were a different color. The mineral veil was several shades darker than the one I had and my #1 Fair was also darker. Have any of you ever noticed this? Will the colors or hues always be different? It almost makes me think that maybe I have selected the wrong shades. Help!!!!
Sandy
These are the two that I use.
I have a little oil in the T zone as well, but haven't
had any trouble with these..even in the summer.
I couldn't find The Ice Cream Man on the Phil. website
either, but that could be because I had 4 kids yelling
in my ear while I was doing it too. :0)
I did find this on the drugstore.com website though.

I looked up the Present and the Ice-cream man. The Present has a
present powder and a present clear make-up. There was no ice-cream man
listed. For those of you that use this which one of the Presents do
you use? I was confused by the descriptions of these products. I do
tend to have a little oil in the T-zone but that is all.
I'm also trying to win a small Smashbox photo finish on e-bay. I could
not find a small size at Sephora and I don't want to invest in it till
I know what it does on my skin.
Thanks,
Leslie
Hi,
About the primers, I go back and forth between The Ice
Cream Man and The Present.
I think I like the Present better of the two, but they
both work great for me and I work out wearing it all
the time.
Jade's suggestion was great, if you can take a towel
with you to blot your face it helps a lot. Working out
is Sooooo not glamorous. :0)
Have a great day!!
Mich
No problem Leslie! I'll answer a million more if need be. ;) I'm so glad you are lovin' your BE! Isn't it neat how it looks better the longer you wear it! I just think that is one of the neatest things about mineral makeup! I wish I had found this stuff a decade ago LOL! Thanks, Lisa :)

Mossy is a similar color in the bismuth-free line, just in case you are taking advantage of that special and need more colors. ;) It's in the 5th row from the bottom, the very first one in the row . . .
http://www.naturallyflawless.com/naturally_flawless_Bismuth-freeshadows.htm
Oh I sent you a direct email regarding the primers. There are quite a few out there. Jade's advice on blotting is great though! ;) The Philosophy Ice Cream Man and Present primers use to be really popular around here. Did anyone notice them keeping the makeup on while sweating? Smashbox is the new hit on here and two of the girls I know just bought some, so they will have to post more reviews about it. :) Just let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Lisa =)
Jade <rebekahn@...
I'm sure Lisa will be on later today with her expert advise, but in the meantime thought I'd chip in. Trust is a light pink with gold undertones. Purrfect is a pretty medium green with gold undertones.
I don't have problems with BE whenI sweat at all. When you do sweat, make sure you are blotting (ie. taking a kleenex or whatever and pushing it on your face and not moving it around). When you 'wipe' of course you are going to wipe the makeup right off. There is no way to make it more waterproof but you can try priming, that may make it stick around longer. I sweat a lot and I blot and don't wipe and it's no problem all day. My other thought is that if you can see where the makeup has wiped off that you are you using waaay too much or that it's the wrong color. The amont you should be using is about the size (width and everything) of a dime for your whole face.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help with the colors. Where I saw my make-up had come
off was right at the cheek area where my blush was also. I did not
wipe it at all...did not have a chance so the sweat just rolled down
my face and took off all of my make-up in that area, so the way I knew
the make-up had come off was b/c of where my blush was.
Any suggestions on a primer?

What are the colors of Trust and Purrfect?
Also, does anyone have any problems with their BE when they sweat? My
make-up came off in areas that my face got wet the other day. Is there
any way to make the make-up more "water-proof"?
Thanks,
Leslie
I LOVE my BE! So far, except for the sweat or water-proof probems, it
has looked awsome. I have not even had to touch it up as much as I
have other make-ups. Thanks to all who have answered my many
questions and esp. Lisa....she has taken up a lot of time helping me.

I got my order today, too. You are too quick for words, Lisa!
I can't wait to try my new colors...I have dark brown eyes and have
never worn any greens...I am now! But, then, I never tought I would
wear pink eye color but it is my fave.
Thanks!
Steph

Hey Lisa,
Just thought I'd let you know that I got my order
today.
It's going to take everything in me not to give my
friend her birthday present early! :0)
I can't wait to try all the new colors I got for
myself.. the eye liners look awesome.
Thanks again for the super-fast shipping.

Hi there! Welcome to the group!! ;) Bare Escentuals and Bare Minerals are the same thing. The bismuth-free line is my personal line, Naturally Flawless is the name brand.
I am not familar with Merle Norman's shades. Is that a shade for tanned skintones? The only neutral shade available (already mixed) in BE is #2.3 Medium Beige. In the Naturally Flawless bismuth-free line I would recommend #3 Neutral. There are specials going on for both lines. The bismuth-free samples are on sale for 7 (1/4 tsp) samples for $10. The other sale is a mix and match (any BE samples and any Naturally Flawless bismuth-free samples) 4 for $10 or 9 for $20. If you have any questions or need any more help, just ask. Thanks, Lisa :)

Hi! I'm new to the group, and also to this type of makeup. I'm a little confused over what is what. There's Bare Escentials, Bare Minerals, and Bismuth Free? Are these the name brands, and what is the difference between them? I read the discussion of the Bismuth Free, but what brand name is it? OK - as you can see, I'm definitely confused! LOL! I was thinking that maybe Bare Escentials and Bare Minerals are the same, but not certain.
What would you recommend for someone 55 (ouch!), and currently wearing Merle Norman Medium Deep Neutral foundation? I like good coverage because of lots of freckles and too much sun over the years.
I think the samples are an excellent idea because even when purchasing in a store in person, it's still hard to get the color that matches real well unless you test it.
Thanks for any info!
Hi Lisa. I'm glad you got it ok! I got my blendables the other day - thanks!
I guess it's about time I introduced myself to everyone - I've been lurking long enough! My name is Sena and I live in Southern California. I've been using BE for almost 2 years now. I look forward to getting to know everyone!!

Sena! I got my Celebrate gloss today! Thank you! You've awesome! ;) Lisa
Thanks for the feed back, I just took advantage of the sale, ordered
21 samples!!!( ok, so maybe 5 are for my secretary for valentines
day, and my 12 year old daughter will probably fight me for the rest)
Maybe I should have ordered more:)! I also ordered that primer from
smashbox, I'll let you know how it works. I've never tried a primer
before.
Hi Keri! I'm so sorry to hear about your bicycle accident. I hope your face has healed nicely. I don't have any problems with mine wearing off on any of my clothing or my daughter's clothing. (I have a 2 year old so she's always in my face for something, LOL.) I also don't have any problems with my makeup fading like other yucky liquids I had tried in the past. The minerals actually look better the longer you wear them. :) If you have any other questions, just ask. I'm so glad you found us! Thanks, Lisa

Hi Ladies,
Is this true? I'm new to makeup in general but one of my fears is that it will stain my clothes especially around the collar. Anyone have any advice for a newbie to foundation? The reason I've decided to start wearing foundation is that I was in a bicycle accident over the summer and scratched my face a little on the road. When I went to Sephora they recommended BE since my skin was still healing but I haven't really mastered it yet and I was about to give up until I found this group. I've heard such wonderful things that I want to give it another try.

Hi there! Do you need something larger or something without a twist lid? Just let me know. Thanks, Lisa :)

I got my samples yesterday, loved all my colors. My only problem, I'm
not coordinated enough to close the lids right. Are there other jars
besides the ones with the white lids that I can get?

I bought a shirt yesterday because I just know it will match a new
liner I just ordered from Lisa!!
My name is Stephanie and I am...
Thanks Lisa. I will look those colors up b/c I have green/brown eyes
with gold in them so I bet those colors will be great for me as well.
Leslie
I love warmth...just don't use too much! I use it high on my cheeks
and a little on my nose and chin. Then I swirl a little glee on the
rest of my cheeks. Best blush I ever used!
Stephanie
I've been using for 1 week now, the shadows are great, go on
beautiful, stay put, use VERY litte, (of course, I'm pale as a ghost:)
and with the BE brushes, I get no shadow falling onto my face which
is a problem with normal brushes and shadows. ( don't tell anyone,
I'm a Mary Kay rep also, love thier's, but stuff is great)
I forgot That I also have a brand new FS Sedona blush for sale if anyone is interested in that
thanks

I haven't found that it creases badly at all.
I like to use it foiled ( mixed with water or Visine)
this tends to make it last even longer.
One good thing with trying Lisa's samples is that
you're not spending tons of money on something that
you might not like.
You could always try picking up one or two colors,
like the MAC colors you have now, and test them.
Trying the samples is how my addiction to BE
started... it's all Ebay's fault!! :0) LOL
Mich
Does BE eyeshadow stay on all day? Does it crease bad? and are the
colors very pigmented? I'm using MAC now and the colors have lots of
pigment in them which is good. They last all day without creasing. I
want to try BE but I want to know how they compare.
