Hey all.
I get to go out of town with Dh for a business trip
this week. Whoohoo!! 3 days of uninterrupted time with
the man. :0)
Does anyone know of any "Must See"s in Nashville.
I know there's the Grand Ole Opry, going to do that,
but anything else?
Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing that Rhonda, that was one of my
questions.
I wondered if everyone who worked there REALLY knew
how to apply BE, etc...
Actually, when I finally get to call :0) I was
thinking of asking how long the employee has been
working there.
Knowing my luck I'd get the girl who's been there a
week or something. :0) LOL
Mich
I'm on the fence about the Dream set. I think I'm going to wait and
try to get the Blendable Watercolor kit that they'll have on the
anniversary show.
I've got a boatload of goodies coming from Lisa in the next few days
and I'm really excited about getting those! I'll just pile my goodies
in my travel bag and take them all with me to DC so I can play with
them at the hotel!
I've got a serious wish list started for the BE Boutique. Good thing
that I've got some mad money put back!

I've been on a love story movie kind of kick lately. Chocolat has
been on my list of movies to see and I finally got to see it on A&E
this afternoon. I'm going to Barnes & Noble tomorrow to see if they
have the book.
I have to say that I have enjoyed this list so much more than any of
the others that I'm on. I post a lot on Delphi, but I still don't
feel like I'm part of their little "family". I don't know how long
you have to hang out there and post away before they see you as
something more than an interloper who has invaded their space. I do
love Tiffany's posts there, though. She has some of the best makeup
advice. I guess she would since she's a pro makeup artist.
Lisa has really done her best to make this a place where we all feel
so accepted and loved. I'm in here so much more than I have ever been
in any other group.
*hugs*
Bliss
love the dream collection... dont know what color are on the cover ... but i even love those.. and the pinks in the middle..... oooh la la
"Thea B." <thearb@...

I do give one word of caution when you get makeover/unders. It REALLY depends on who you get to do the makeup I think. I was fortunate and had a great gal. My oldest daughter had a younger lady (closer to 18) who did just the bare minimum that she had to do to be considered passing. They give you a sheet that lists all the colors that they use on you. At the bottom of the sheet is a little eye diagram that they can go over it for you with the colors they use on your eyes and where they used them. My lady did that and we had to ask my daughter's lady to come back and do it. We also had to ask her to fill in some of the lines on the sheet as to what color she used where. She was finished with my daughter I would say a good 10 minutes before I was done with mine. And, my daughter looks like she is 18 so it isn't as if it appeared that I brought a little kid in that wasn't serious about makeup.
Anyway, my younger daughter they had another girl (again, closer to 18) help figure out her foundation color. That's all we wanted with her. My younger daughter has a much darker complexion than my older daughter. But, at the end of the visit I learned that somehow between the two young employees they ended up figuring my older daughter with a foundation much darker than my younger daughter. It didn't add up at all.
So, basically we're going to need to order some of the stuff my older daughter had and we'll see how it looks on my younger daughter and go from there. I don't know quite how to word it nicely but I would almost request a more mature employee to help you. If you go to Chicago ask for Kate....she works weekends! :-)

I just enjoyed reading your email..... It's so fun to finally get messages.... I soooooooo look forward to getting to know everyone... I recognize Bliss from another list.... My dh is a Henry too...
Just am going through doing some spring cleaning and getting more labels printed for the new colors I got., it's so fun.... the only thing in my life that is organized is my BE... labeled and in order... Oh well., I'll work on the rest later., LOL
This is such a fun addiction to share... BTW Is it ok to post any colors you have extra and might want to trade here?

Rhonda,
I am soooo jealous! I want to go really bad. It sounds like you had a great time there. I still can't figure out my foundation color and would love to have a makeover done. Janis
Actually, my hairs that kind of color right now. :0) I
bet it'd look great.
I'm going to put Joy on my list of "to buy" :0)
thanks!
oh no, no dying for me!.. well, until I see the grand
total maybe. :0)
I'm glad you had fun..I can't wait to go.
It's so nice to live vicariously through you guys.
It's exciting AND it saves me money..Well, for a
little while anyway. LOL
This is really bad. Now I've already marked off 20 different eye colors I want samples of from Lisa! *gasp*

It is really beautiful together! Especially if you have a shirt that is say burgundy or something like that.
Rhonda
Mich <bbabmontret@...
I would never have thought to put Joy with Here Kitty.
.. you learn something new all the time here. :0)
[LINK]
Yeah, I told my husband I could spend all day putting on eye shadow and taking it off again to make a new look. :-)
I truly was amazed at seeing all the colors just sitting there open. I'm so scared I'll spill my little itty bit and these were full size just sitting there for people to pick up and look at. *gosh*
I recall someone here saying they felt overwhelmed on the beaddicts.com. If so, you'll die in the store. It it totally the beaddicts.com site in person!! But I love them all!!
Rhonda
I would never have thought to put Joy with Here Kitty.

Thanks for sharing, Rhonda!
I bet it was a blast.=0)
I got all excited when I went into this little po'dunk
salon to check out the few things they had. Now after
hearing about your trip, I really can't wait to go!
Have fun playing!!
Mich
I didn't mention my daughter's colors. Again, she is biracial, so she has a carmel-like complexion. They ended up putting medium tan foundation on her. On her eyes they went with joy on her lid, here kitty in the crease, highlighted with vanilla sugar under the brow, and used here kitty foiled as a liner.
I am going to try and put pictures on the site later. Not sure how they turned out with my new camera. I haven't quite had time to figure out the thing.
The other really cool thing was that I told the lady who did my makeup about using visine to foil with because you can control the flow so well. She said, "That's a perfect idea. Wow!" So, whoever came up with that you deserve a pat on the back! :-)
Rhonda
Wow....my husband has made fun of me all afternoon because I have been so excited after my visit to the BE store at Woodfield Mall.
The lady who did my makeover/under was really nice and extremely helpful. She was willing to spend time with me and help me locate many of the colors I had on my list that I wanted to see in person. Basically, I think it boils down to you almost can't go wrong with any eye color (or liner) that you pick. Honestly! I was amazed!!
You walk in and they have like an island in the center of the store. On top of it are about 12 trays of all the eye, blush, brow, and face colors. Each tray has a color theme to it...blues and purples, greens and grays, etc. There were like 15 colors on each tray with all the lids off. It felt like walking into a candy store and the owner says go for it. [INLINE]
My makeover went much quicker than I expected. I am a 1.0 on the foundation (I bought some - interesting they said the foundation has an expiration because it has the SPF in it - the other mineral products do not have an expiration). Man, I hate being so pale. But, for a tan (I bought the faux tan) she said just to add some warmth and not worry about mixing it with another foundation color.
She used on me: sunshine, purrfect, mambo, and true gold. I NEVER EVER would have thought I would look decent let alone good in the warmer shades. My husband even said I look better than I normally do. I couldn't get too mad at him in this instance. :-)
I think I did pretty good. I got out of there with a foundation, a brow kit (which also was lighter than I thought I'd need), a brushless mascara, faux tan, and the blendable eye collection with Vine, Gold Leaf, and Foliage. Not bad for someone who wasn't planning on buying anything. :-) My daughter talked me into a lip gloss kit too. And, I got the eye shadow for Lisa. My final bill was around $190. Thank God part of that is Lisa's and my daughter's!
I didn't buy the Goddess Kit and now I'm kicking my butt. I loved all the colors in it but I hated to add another thing on. My husband came back just as I was hitting the cash register. :-( Are these available anywhere else? I didn't see it on QVC's site and the ones I saw on eBay were just samples, not the full size.
Sorry I was so wordy but my husband just didn't get my excitement. Man, I have so many things on my wish list now it isn't funny. And now I have no money to play with for awhile.
Seriously though, the biggest thing I learned today was not to be afraid of any of the colors. Even if they look really bright or really dark. You can work with them by blending them on your eyelids or mixing them together beforehand. Now I can't imagine not being able to make all the colors work after some blending and mixing. It is only limited by your imagination - and your pocketbook! LOL

Please let me know if you did not receive your samples. Also if you did receive your samples and have tried them I would love your feedback. If they didn't work for any reason let me know and we will try something else. I love to help people achieve great skin tone and will work with you until we get it right.
By the way if any of you have children that have nut allergies Arbonne is coming out with a baby care line at the end of this month that does not contain any nut oils.They are also revamping their men's line. The old line was loved by the men that tried it so I can't imagine what the new will be like!
Naturally yours:)
Kris
Manda
I am so sorry. I mailed them a week ago Thursday. Yours went priority mail I believe. Let me know if you do not receive them this week and I will do another mailing.
Kris
went to post office and still have not recieved arbonne items yet... hoping there not lost.. will let you know if/when i rec. thanks manda
For those of you that are interested Arbonne has a gentle scrub that is excellent. I think I can get samples if you would like to try it. Click here to read about it. Arbonne Bio-Hydria

Tell me again how you want me to do the UD Primer purchase. I couldn't
for the life of me find that post. I forgot what I was supposed to put
in.
I sent your extra samples Thursday. You should get them soon. I am so
glad you are lovin' Arbonne or should I ask are you still lovin'
Arbonne.
I love the #2 Be foundation. The girl in Charlotte said I could send
back my 2.3 and she would exchange it with no shipping charges!And she
was going to Fed Ex it!!It has been 4 weeks today since I bought it so
I was afraid she wouldn't take it back.If you all are ever in the
Charlotte BE store -ask for Susan. She is great.
Kris
I was thinking about doing that too AND signing up for Lisa's AD e/s club!
I just saw the new infomercial this morning.
I am tempted to get one...lol...
Jenn A
Donna,
If you skin is combination; meaning normal to oily, that would be the seaweed line. If it's normal to dry combination, it would be grapeseed. Tea Tree is for oily/blemished skin and soy & calendula is for dry/sensitive skin. I hope this helps you. If you are thinking of purchasing an entire line, don't purchase at the store or website, as it will be full price. At Home Consultants can discount the entire line for 15% off. If interested in knowing what's in the whole let, let me know. Thanks
Jill
Well, I've tried to talk Henry into taking the photos. He says to
wait until Monday when he's got the studio set up for a portrait shoot
that he's got. So I'll try to get a before and after set taken for
the before and after folder. I also want one of my hair in the sun.
Henry says that you really see the two colours better in the sun
light, that the violet shows through the red more in the sun. It's
odd, but he says that the red doesn't look as intense in the sun. I
guess I'll have to wait until he gets the photos taken. *grins*
men...can't live with 'em, can't leave 'em on a street corner because
they eventually find their way home.
*hugs*
Bliss
I got in on that when I got my infomercial kit. I'm still waiting for
my first shipment. If it's anything like QVC they're going to take
forever to get stuff to us. I've been wanting to get Water Lily.
Glad it's in the shipment!
Bliss
OK...I've looked around at both the Body Shop's site and yours. For skin care, which line is for combination skin? It doesn't really say. Tea Tree or Grapeseed or the soy one?
Donna

How much does it cost??
I've done it off and on for 2 weeks now and it works
great.
I use Nivea cream cleanser and add a tsp-tbsp to it
and go to work.
I even do my lips with it. :0)
Hi Mich!
I thought that you were the one doing it.
I may have to try the Nivea when I run out.
The second part of the MK kit,the serum,is what impressed me so much!
It feels awesome!

Gotta love new goodies!
My shopnbc goodies came today. I LOVE the Dr Feelgood face balm! And
the Ooh La La Lift really seemed to do the trick on de-puffing under
my eyes. I haven't tried the Lemon Aid or Eye Bright yet, but as soon
as I do, I'll be giving you girls the report!
Now I'm eagerly awaiting all the goodies I just ordered from Lisa! I
know they'll get here fast.
I'm off to play with my new phone. My old one gave up the ghost on me
and I had to go to Sprint for a new one. And just when I was getting
ready to put swarovski crystals all over the old one. Maybe I'll just
make the new one all sparklie anyway.

Hi,
I can't say enough about Mary Kay's new microdermabrasion kit!The serum is
out of this world!
I got a sample of it and was very WOWED by it and I am very picky about
what goes on my face!
It is very sensitive.
I have also read about some of the girls here just adding regular white
sugar to their normal cleanser.
That sound slike it would work great,too.
Jenn A
Oh Manda... you warned them didn't you.!
Yea individual emails would be great.
Okay, i tried the bronze salon tanning thing and it seems to work. but now with me going to the BE store tomorrow i'm in a weird position. i'm trying to get this tanning stuff off as quick as i can!
i don't want to be tan when i go there because i want them to help me figure out what foundation color i should go with on normal days. then if they want to put some faux tan on me and match that too, i wouldn't complain. :-)
i've tried exfoliating my entire body. i still have some on my hands and feet. any suggestions on how to get it off even more? i can't wear sandals with the way my feet look and we finally have some decent sandal-wearing weather here.
rhonda
Thanks for the welcome. I'm still waiting to get messages in my email

LMBO! Man, does that bring back some high school memories! Ha ha!! I
wore blue mascara when I was in high school for a year or two but that
was it. I did try purple back then too but it didn't show up too well
on my lashes. The blue was much more noticeable in the sun. But sadly
(or maybe mercifully ~ *wink*) I haven't tried any of the colored one
since I've been out of high school (way too many years to recount right
now! LOL!).
Meri
Can anyone recommend a good exfoliator/scrub for my poor dry peeling
face. ok, that made it sound like it's really bad but it's not just my
nose. I have combination skin and slightly sensitive.
Don't you all just love when Im bored at work? haha
I was wondering if anyone wears "colored" mascara. I've seen it around
a bit lately in blue, purple, and teal. For some reason it reminds me
of High School when I had silver, blue & green.
I was just wondering if anyone wears it and what colors :)

Hi,
I have green eyes,brown hair and use 1.2/2

Thanks for the praise for the BF finishing powder. There is a sale now at Naturally Flawless, so I'm going to go ahead and buy 2 and get one free. Anyone use the BF foundation? And, how do you decide which color to get? Is it like BE?
Jill
PS If you don't have a Body Shop nearby, email me. Shipping is cheaper through me than through the website
OK...I'm just going to have to go on the wagon for a bit (now that I have placed an order w/ Lisa!).
I have another hobby, cross stitching, and between that one and this one, I have to behave for a bit now! I have spent soooo much in the last 6 months that it isn't funny! Now I have eyebrow stencils coming, so had to get the brow kit from QVC, oh and while I was at it, I bought a lipstick and lipliner, then there is all the random runs to the BE store with Mom, because she wants to have a looksee at something....I think I had better behave for a bit before hubby budgets me. (It's worse when he does that than when I do it!)
So there...I am officially on the wagon...until the QVC show on 4/29 that is!
Hahaha
Donna
***Sometimes in life you just have to stand back and punt.***
Hmmm...I'll have to see if we have a Body Shop here....(Manda, do we? I'm at work, no time to look)! As for the BF finishing powder...I haven't tried it, but my mom has and she LOVES it. Likes it better than mineral veil. Now as soon as she gets her OWN paypal account set up and verified she can order from Lisa herself! Hahaha.
Hugs,
Donna

Michelle,
Good to hear you like it as well. Some people dont live near a store, so they purchase through me. Youre lucky to be so close to a store. Also, the bottle is huge 8.4 oz so it lasts a long time.
Anyone here use the bismuth free finishing powder? If so, how is it different from Mineral Veil and do you like it better?
Jill
Hi Jade. Pinks, huh? I've never tried any type of pink before. I used
to think it was too girlie of a color for me - I was a totally tomboy
in high school ~ ha ha!! But I'm up for anything nowadays! LOL!! I'll
look up those colors you recommended and give some a try. And I love
the color green too so I'm definitely going to try some of those as
well! Thanks again Jade!
-- Meri
Pinks!! Try anything with pink. You and I sound really similar in coloring and they look really great on me. Some of my favorites are True, Nude Beach, Bare Skin, Giggle, and most especially Grace. Also greens look good. My favorites are Soiree and Vine.

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if I could get some eye shadow color recommendations
from people. I used to just wear browns for my shadow but was thinking
of being brave and trying some samples of actual color (eekk!). But I'm
not sure what colors might look good. My eyes are a light brown with a
little bit of gold in them, I'm a medium skin tone, and my hair is
light brown. I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

I was on a very tight time budget so I had my daughter get the make under. They did both of us in PA. They were friendly. Nice very helpful and wow we saw several make unders that were increadable. They really know what they are doing. We could not believe the difference they made in some of the women. I most warn you it is a very tiny store!!!!!!! but well worth it. they made my 14 look so beautiful but stillyoung and natural. When she went back to school everyone wanted to know about her make up.
have fun. also I am interested in some soiree either 1/2 jar with someone or a sample. I do not think any one can ever use a full jar.

lisa,
did you have a makeover at the woodfield mall store? i'm trying to figure out if you meant they were really friendly or had a clue what they were doing. :-)
thanks so much about the info on the location of the sephora store. that is really convenient for me. :-) i believe they told me it was near the nordstrom entrance on the upper level. do you remember if that is correct?
rhonda
Lisa Freson <lisafreson@...
The sephora store in the woodfield mall is right across from the BE store. I was in such a hurry that I did not go to sephora. By the way the staff at this BE store were great. We had driven to PA to go to the king of prussia BE store and it was a horrible experience. I wear 1.2 and 2 mixed. They put 5.2 on me It was gross. I have some freckles and they made my whole face as dark as the freckles. My daughter wears 3 (now) but this was her first time and they used 1 on her. She looked like a ghost or like she had flour all over her face. It was my first trip to a BE store and we were very disapointed.

Hey Jenn! The little 5 g jars don't have sifters and they are .20 each. They have white lids. The 10 g jars do have sifters and clear lids, they are .35 each. Do you need to add any jars to your order? Thanks, Lisa :)
Hi Lisa!
Yea,add about 10 of the 10 gram jars if you don't mind.I can pp you the rest.
Sorry about that :))

Im wearing those three today!
Hey, that's it, Jenn. I can get this for myself for Mother's Day!!! LOL
My oldest daughter doesn't have a job and youngest is at the age where she still gives the homemade gifts.
Thanks for helping me justify this purchase. You're such a good enabler! :-)

Jenn,
Those are the exact ones I got. Yes, should be able to use them.
I also grew up in the era of Brooke Shields with the big, bushy eyebrows au natural. The stencil at the very bottom is wider than the others so you don't tweeze as much away. I started with that one and I figure as I get more comfortable seeing them groomed I may inch my way up to the next one which is a bit thinner.
Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes if you do it!
Rhonda
Jennifer Asher <jasher8@...
Does anyone use these?
I have Brooke Shields eyebrows!
I have never tried to shape them before because I was afraid I would ruin them.
I want to try though.
Think I could use these:

Thanks so much!

I use it before washing my face also. I guess that you could do it
before and after if there is any leftover makeup. I have never had
that problem.

lisa,
did you have a makeover at the woodfield mall store? i'm trying to figure out if you meant they were really friendly or had a clue what they were doing. :-)
thanks so much about the info on the location of the sephora store. that is really convenient for me. :-) i believe they told me it was near the nordstrom entrance on the upper level. do you remember if that is correct?

Lisa Freson <lisafreson@...
The sephora store in the woodfield mall is right across from the BE store. I was in such a hurry that I did not go to sephora. By the way the staff at this BE store were great. We had driven to PA to go to the king of prussia BE store and it was a horrible experience. I wear 1.2 and 2 mixed. They put 5.2 on me It was gross. I have some freckles and they made my whole face as dark as the freckles. My daughter wears 3 (now) but this was her first time and they used 1 on her. She looked like a ghost or like she had flour all over her face. It was my first trip to a BE store and we were very disapointed.

Amok! Amok! Amok! I just ordered 14 BF colours and 9 BE colours from
you, Lisa. I figured that I would get a head start on my shopping!

Hi I found the almay non oily eye make up remover pads. they also had it as a lotion that you use on cotton balls (less expenive). I was wondering if anyone has tried that? also this may so stupid so please forgive me but when does everybody use those? before or after they wash their face? I tried to remove my eyemake up first and then wash my face and I still had the black mascara under my eyes. I stopped using the Mary Kay stuff because if I used it after washing my face it left reside around my eyes that I had to wash off before I could apply make up
Lisa
congratulations joyce!! my hubby said the same thing.. that i looked like i didnt have makeup on.. but it looked good!! which in hubby language is pretty darn good.. lol... glad your liking your be.. i am also having great results!! hope to talk to you again soon. goodnite!! manda
ps. what are you gonna order next?? :)
Joyce Young <silverwing@...
Hi everyone.
I've only posted a couple of times, but have been reading all of your posts and getting soooo much info. Anyway I got my first order of BE the other day and have tried it out. I am pleased with the results. DH came home the first day and said (because he knew what I had ordered) that it did not look like I had make up on but that I looked fantastic. So I figure this is a good thing. Well tonite I had to go to a board of directors meeting for our HOA and a couple of ladies came up to me and asked if I had colored my hair, lost weight, etc. Well neither of those things has happened yet, but I know it is because I look so much better and feel better about me with these products. My skin seems to glow!
I can't help gushing to all of you since I am sure you can understand what I am experiencing. Anyway, I am hooked and now going to order more.
I really do appreciate all the info I am getting from all of you.
Well time to get another wish list together.
Thanks
Joyce

It sure did and it was my second trip there in a week. First time for BE and then the primer. Good thing my daughter went along for the ride, its about 45 minutes. Next time I will call before going. Janis
yeah, when you told that i immediately made a mental note to call sephora's before we get there. i'm still thrilled to go to BE but if i don't need to try to find sephora's at the mall that i'm not familiar with i'm not going to the effort.

are you wanting a full-sized one yourself?

is the one i'm getting for you, really you (grin), or for samples? i just wondered if it was for you do you want one for sampling too? or would you prefer not to go there since you can't get it regularly?

Lisa Moore <lexismommy23@...
HI Manda! I know, isn't that awesome! I can't get it b/c QVC doesn't have it. =( It's suppose to look like Purrfect without the sooty undertone, so I know I would like it. ;) Hopefully Rhonda will be able to pick it up. Lisa :)

If that doesnt work its QVC.com item number H78557. While it doesnt
hold everything perfect, I like that it has a little style instead
of a industrial makeup case. The labels I made I used my label maker
with clear tape. I had it setup before with the labels on top in
trays sorted by lights and darks, but I like this much better, I can
see all of the color.
Michelle
*duh* thanks for pointing those out to me. i guess i need to clean my glasses!
so, where did you get that organizer? that is nice. i like the idea of having the clear labels on the sides of the jars. that way you can see the color and the name. smart.

Hmm maybe I should add a picture of me to the photos section. I
Gosh I dont know. Are you setting the price to be a bargain, or a
fair price? I think I have seen these for $5-$6, but for a bargain I
think $2-$3 is good. Like I said though I just dont know.
Michelle
Hi Girls,
Just a question about pricing. I plan to donate the BE False Eyelashes
from the April kit to a group that sells "white elephants" as a
fundraiser. As I don't use false eyelashes, this would be perfect to
donate, but I have to set a price. What would you suggest? Would $2
or $3 be about right?
Thanks,
Sharon
Me too. I have the shimmering spray and lotion of
Amazing Grace, and an imposter solid. I love the
scent.
One of these days I'll give the others a try.. I'm
sure I'll like them just as well. :0)
I did try the Nivea Remover but wasn't thrilled with
it.
I ran out of my usual, Mary Kay, and got that instead.
I love their cleansing cream and lotions...Maybe I'll
break it out again tonight and give it another try.
Duh. I forgot a couple and one that was the most
important...*

i really liked the eyebrow stencil and was amazed at how much it improved my look. i even got brave and did my daughter. she loved it. it is much easier to do it on someone else. at least the coloring in part so you can make sure they're even. if she would have felt comfortable plucking them herself i would have gladly let her do that part.

Hey Vanessa,
I love curly hair. I bet it looks awesome.
I tried to post photo of what I was going to have
done, in a response to Bliss, but I think it got lost
somewhere in space. lol.
My hair's wavey, and really curly in spots. It looks
good on day 1 but after that it's too much up-keep.
I find it easier to straighten it.. it'll last if it's
not too humid. :0) Let's just say come summer it's up
most of the time, just so I don't have to deal with
it.
Yet one more reason that I love winter.
Have a great night.

You are sooooo much more organized than I am! My bathroom vanity is
such a mess! I did just get an awesome travel case by Victoria's
Secret that is like the BE one. Paid $15 for it has built in pockets
for your brushes. I like this one better than the BE one that I got.
The mirror was broken in the BE one anyway. I may see if I can get a
new piece of mirrored glass cut for it.
I so need to get organized!!
