I Is the eye shadow as great and wonderful as the foundation? :tap:

Yes it is. :yay: You'll love it.

I'm getting ready to order the mondo sized kit that Jabba has. I've priced out various groupings and buying the 26 piece kit is still the cheapest way to go. I'm almost out of everything, except for the "warmth", I'll be 90 before I run out of that. :lol:

I like their eyeshadows because once you put it on, it stays put until you wash it off. You will definately need to perfect your technique with putting it on because once it's on it ain't going nowhere unless you wash it off and start over again. I like it and I have several different colors I play with.

I am a weirdo and I did't care for any of the BM products. It melted off my face worse than anything else I had every bought/tried.

What did you use as the "base"? I found that some moisturizers prevented the BM from "setting".

I was using two different ones, depending on how my skin was acting, one was a lancome and the other was from avon

I wouldn't blame the BareMinerals foundation. I would blame the base. I say this because I have naturally oily skin and I have spent a lifetime as well as a fortune trying to find a foundation that would last all day without wreaking havoc on my complexion. BareMinerals is the only product I have ever found that does this. The BM foundation will not work if you use a moisturizer that is "dewy" and doesn't fully absorb into the skin before you apply the BM.

Damn this stuff adds up quick $$$ :faint: I have bunches of stuff saved in my favorites for next pay day :lmao:
If you are ordering from Sephora.com, I recommend you keep your first order to the basics and close to the "just over $75" mark so that you can get your free shipping and get you hands on the product. This will allow you to access your preferences and will allow you to hit the $75 mark again on your next order so that you will get the free shipping without having to pad your order with extras you weren't planning to buy.

I also tried to use a mattifier for a base and that didn't help with the BM either. I have found something that works for me without having to save up to get it. It is the new Mabelline Pure Makeup that is made with water. I really like it and it stays put.

I was asking Ms Queen Chasey some questions about BM yesterday and she failed to mention that I would have gotten free shipping and upgraded to a deluxe started kit if I spent 75 bucks :tantrum

I'm gonna wait till I get my starter kit before I order anything else. See if I like the stuff first. If this stuff is as great as ya'll make it out to be, I'm replacing all my old cheap make up with BM.

Chasey is like that sometimes...:rolleyes: I try to always keep my orders in approx $75 increments so that I can get the free shipping and free samples and use a promo code to boot. They ship in a matter of days. I seem to have my order in hand within 72 hours.

Jameo, not that you need this because you're still young, but a couple of weeks ago some woman asked Larry if I was one of his daughters. :lol:

True story - you can ask him.

I love BM and won't be changing.

I won't be changing either. My daughter is young yet, but when she gets to the age of wanting to begin using makeup she will be raised on BM...:yay:

I also have to give Jazz credit. I've read a few times her mention her sensative skin and using Aveno products. A couple months ago I changed face wash and had to deal with the consequences of such. The skin on my eyelids and around my eyes got so dried out and peely that it was almost unbearable. I tried everything I had around the house. Lotions, baby oil, face chap stick (for babes), whatever I could get my hands on. Nothing was helping. A weeks worth of use litterally caused me 2 months worth of pain. I was at Target and decided to try the Aveno line. I got some of the calming moisterizer and within 2 days my skin was back to normal! :yay:
Why, thank you. :kiss: Aveeno works wonders and I swear by it. I also love the body wash for in the shower. :yay:

I got my first order of BM and am going to give it a shot. I've been using Neutrogena's foundation for awhile but I hate the mask feeling liquid makeup has on my face.

I have never taken very good care of my skin. Figured it's time to do something about it before I'm all old and wrinkled :lol:

I bought Jawzie some of the body wash and body lotion cause she had an allergic reaction to her antibiotics. Jawz, any news?

I'm still using the face lotion and doubt I'll use anything else from here on out. :yay:

:rolleyes: You actually have very good skin. I noticed that the last time I saw you. I don't know if you wear make-up, if you do it is barely noticeable the way make-up should be. :shrug: But your skin looks good.


Don't you all end up with powder everywhere? I have some proactiv powder which is put on the same way as BM and I have powder everywhere. Seems like a messy hassle.

Eye makeup and a little blush is about all I wear.
