Oooh, somebody use this one and tell us how the Cargo color card works out. It intrigues me, but not enough to buy one on my own.

I got the Bliss Body Butter last time. Greasy.

I don't do any of those types of things. They are always greasy & messy - even the big jars at B&BW's.

I cleaned my brushes and they're all hanging upside down, drying! I used Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three.

I must say, I love our little Bare Minerals Support Group. No one cared about me when I was using Lancome.

That is not true.

Sure we did. However, we talked about you, not with you.

I may wash my brushes this evening. I wonder if they will like Redken Clear Moisture or Redken Smooth Down.

I clean my brushes with a bar of shampoo that I thought was cool but had never used. Works great and I'm glad it's not going to waste.


Also, one thing I don't like: they call those pots of "glee" and "radiance" all-over face colors, designed to perk up your complexion. But they make my face look too shiny and almost metallic. It's okay if I add a little bit to the foundation before I buff it on, but to put it over the top of my makeup just doesn't look right. They do, however, make a great enhancer for my naturally rosy cheeks, since I don't wear blush..

You don't literally put it all over your face, right? I use a teensy bit and dab it onto the apples of my cheeks, brush it lightly down my nose, and across my forehead and chin. It's a negligible amount, so you can barely tell it's there, but it adds a nice glow. I only do that with the warmth. If I use glee, I just put it on the apples of my cheeks.

Well, it said "all-over face color" :shrug: So I tried it yesterday and no-go. My daughters wear shimmery foundation, but they're teenagers - they also wear glitter on their eyelids.

I've been using an all-over shimmer for years now. After I apply blush, I brush the shimmer on my cheeks, the middle of my forehead, and the bridge of my nose. As Nickel stated, it adds an extra "glow" or sparkle.

Don't put it all over your face, silly! I really don't know why they call it that, I just use it like blush or bronzer....a little dab'll do ya. Try it my way, and see if that works for you.

Okay, cool - so I don't have to give it away to the makeup vultures that raid my vanity on a regular basis.

Vrai... DO NOT put it on your nose!!!!! Shiney, rosey noses are not cute! Nic, Chasey... What is wrong with you girls?

"Warmth" isn't rosy, it's like a bronzer. And Bare Minerals doesn't produce a shiny effect. Like I said, it's a negligible amount, you can't even tell it's there.

 

[nomoney]

so is it a yay or nay for the glee? I was thinking of getting some.....

 

[pixiegirl]

you can't even tell it's there.

Then why do it?

Ask Crabcake....I sent her one of the larger sizes of it a couple weeks agao.

Because I can! :hrmph:

I'll piggy-back Nic again. It's a "highlighter" not actual glitter. You apply it to the areas that direct sunlight hits you first - ie, your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.
