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.

Again, you want to highlight your nose? :lmao:

Girl uses Glee. She has a pasty white porcelain doll complexion, looks great. I haven't tried it yet, but I will and I'll get back to you. Our complexions are similiar.

I like it used as a blusher, but not all over my face. It doesn't add a lot of color, just a bit of highlight.

The routine:

Foundation
Concealer
Warmth in the E pattern around my face
Smidge of Radiance on the apples of my cheeks
Finish with Mineral Veil

I bought the kit with Glee, Clear Radiance and Warm Radiance - comes in a pink zipper pouch. This will last me a lifetime, even after I gave the Glee to my DIL.

I don't know what your nose has got to do with looking well rested but ok. :lmao: :huggy:
And I suppose that's why you don't understand my shimmer application. Not that it matters, though - everyone has their own routine.

The one thing I HATE about this stuff!

That the names of each product are on the bottom of the jars, so I end up with a ton of stuff above the sifter in the pot, and inevitably spill some when I go to sprinkle what I need in the lid to swirl. Why can't they put the name (i.e., concealer, foundation, glee, eye color, etc) on the top/lid? :ohwell:

Oh, and if anyone knows of a nice make-up trunk somewhere, lemme know. I saw the ones on sephora, but don't want to spend $100 on one. But something large enough to accomodate my make-up, brushes, and a couple other facial needs (cleansers) for overnighters. :yay:

Tell me about it! The only one that says what it is on top is the Mineral Veil (which I freakin' spilled all over the bathroom floor at our new house a few weeks ago :rolleyes:). I saw some train cases at Target once, but I don't remember what they look like. I asked for a train case for Christmas but didn't get one :)mad:) so I guess I'll ask for one for my birthday. :hrmph: Check eBay, I think I saw some on there a few months ago.

The MV is the one I spill the most, probably b/c it's such a big container (I bought the big one, and put the little one in the compact to keep in my purse. :yay:)

I like the $90 one from Sephora, but I wanna see if I can find one out there for less. I might just buy a tackle box and paint it myself if I don't find something that blows my skirt up. :lol:

That's all they really are; glorified tackle boxes for 10 times the price. :ohwell:

That is so true but as long as I've had it I've more than got my moneys worth. Still use it too...it's even got a handy dandy mirror so you can raise the shelves up and put your face on w/ everything right at your fingertips:diva:Beauty made easy :lmao:

I'm looking for something like this one. I don't like the itsy bitsy compartments most of 'em have. The 3-tiered feature of this one is good b/c the top could be for "eyes", second for "cheeks" (blush and shimmer crap) and third for "face" (foundation/concealer) and lips, and the bottom section (depending on how much room is down there once it's closed) could be for brushes and other facial products (cleansers, moisturizers, etc.). :yay:

Holy hell:
Shipping in the USA is $23.99 ...
That's cool if you win the auction for $5-10, but if you do BIN like I usually do cuz I am not patient enough for the auction to end.

Ew! :lmao:

I just bought one for 1.25. :lmao: Shipping is like $20 (that's where they get ya I guess), but it's cheaper than the $90 one at Sephora, and is basically the same thing.
Which one did ya get? Linkie? :shrug:

This one. I actually like the smaller compartments, a lot of my eyeshadows and lipsticks/glosses would fit inside. Plus if it sucks, it was only $25 and I can give it to someone else and buy a new one. :lmao:

See Sweetpea ...

I told ya :ohwell:

You are bidding on 1 Brand New Aluminum Cosmetic/Fishing tackle box. This case has many compartments to put all your make-up or fishing/screws.
I don't know any of my screws would fit in that thing. :ohwell:
