Bare Minerals makeup

[kwillia]

I've been using it for a few weeks, and I haven't cleaned my brushes yet. Then again, I don't think I've ever cleaned any makeup brush I've owned. :shrug:

I don't have any problems with coverage, now that I've played with it enough to know how much and where. For me, it takes a little longer to apply than standard liquid foundation, but I don't get my hands messy anymore.

After reading CrabCake's post a few days ago, I decided to clean my brushes and I found that it did indeed make a difference.

I have had mine for a few weeks and haven't cleaned yet but I notice the hairs on my kabuki brush are prone to falling out.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll probably do this now during my lunch hour so they're clean and ready to go tomorrow.

The longer you give them to air dry the better. I was concerned there would still be extra moisture trapped in the center of my brushes the following morning, so I hit them with the blow dryer for a bit. I immediately noticed that the minerals were "tucking" without effort like they did when they were new.

Thanks. Maybe I'll use my old make-up tomorrow to give them an extra day to dry.

I did notice when I was in Sephora that they have a "brush cleaner" you can buy. But it's probably like the $10 can of aerosol Evian water you can spritz on your face. I like Barb's baby shampoo suggestion. It's gentle, mild, and cheap.

Were you given a sample of lip injection by Too-Faced cosmetics? It's marvelous!! I combine it with Venom Flash for an extra kick.

I may have and just didn't bother with it. I've never heard I needed to "plump up" my lips, as I was blessed at birth with a full/pouty smacker.

I received a sample of lip gloss that is awesome! It leaves my lips all tingly and such with that "just been kissed hard" slight poofiness... but I can't remember what brand it is...

I've always used shampoo to clean my brushes. Not even baby shampoo, just whatever I happen to be using at the time.

TY! That's one less stop I need to make tonight. Infusion it is!

Thanks! I think I'll be getting some of that next time I order...

I need something that will plump and still be able to use lip stain.

I use my standard Revlon Colorstay base for color then after it dries I hit it with the Lip Injection and it works great...:shrug:

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I guess I just didn't think of using the stain first, then the plumper.

Me, too, but not in an Angelina way. However, this Lip Injection brings out your natural color, while adding a little something extra.

When you mentioned it, I went up to check my freebies bag from my order and found this stuff was in there. I'll check it out on a day I don't have to work. I don't want to get over-plumped and have someone thing there's something wrong with me.

Not to worry; it's not that dramatic. Besides, it only lasts for about a half-hour or so.

So it'll get me through a .

That might be a worthwhile expense.

Just came across this on overstock. Can't attest to it's worth but figured I'd pass it on.
