I saw in Cosmo today that Neutrogena now has "Mineral Sheers". I looked on their website and couldn't find it, but drugstore.com sells it. I wonder how well it works.

I just received a full sized sample of this in the mail from Glamour magazine. Not exactly sure why or how, but hey, it's free makeup, so I'm not complaining. :lol:

Proactiv has come out with this stuff, too. Cost is about the same as BE, but I'm scared to try it. I love my BE! :getdown:

I did my bisque and warmth and mineral veil this morning. I'm thinking about doing the rest of my body with it.

Nah. I would have to take off my PJ's.

The camera would either break, or Vrai would ban me.

I saw that. Speaking of ProActiv, I've started using it. The stress is making itself known on my face and my regular products weren't cutting it. I've noticed a considerable difference and it's only been a week. :yay:

Are your PJ's that bad?

When I first started using it, my face was literally glowing after 3 days, but after two weeks, I went through a very dry spell. I couldn't find a lotion that worked good. After about two weeks of the flakey-dry skin, I had a perfect complexion! I've been hooked on it since.

Oh, and free shipping until Friday with any Proactiv order. :yay:

Do you use anything other than the basic 3 step kit? I got the Refining Mask as a "free gift", I might continue to buy it.

I love the refining mask! I use it about once a week, sometimes twice. I have their lotion, too and it seems to work well. I can purchase 2-3, 3-step kits before I have to purchase the 5-piece with lotion and mask. I'm thinking about order the green peeling mask or whatever it is.

So do you have yours auto-shipped, or no? I think I'd prefer to order what I want, when I need it. I'm experiencing the dryness now, my skin is a little itchy around my nose. I'd considered getting their moisturizer with spf 15.

No, but you are officially either a "perv" or "ghey" for hanging out in the ladies room for this long. :neener:

I have mine set to auto-ship, just in case I forget. However, I usually go in and use the "ship now" button because I almost run out before it's my normal time.

I started using Proactive about 3 months ago and haven't seen a difference. Starting using the sensitive skin formula and that didn't work. So over the weekend I order Murad Acne Complex so now I guess I will give that a try.

Got my Bare Minerals in the mail yesterday and all I have to say is great. By this time during the day my face is really oil that I have to take a napkin and pat my face to get the excess oil off. With the bare mineral my face looks just like it did this morning. Maybe this will help make a difference in complexion.

And lookie what I found in Sephora tonight ...

The warm radiance; multi-tasking well rested minerals; good fortune glimpse minerals; mineral veil; and a fast and flawless blending brush ... all packed away neatly in a cute little travel train case. :dance:

And I picked up CK's Eternity Summer fragrance. :yum:

I don't think Calvin Klein makes a perfume I don't like. :yay:

I ordered Bare Minerals on the good faith of you ladies here at the forums, and after two days of use I'm trying to figure out whether or not I like this stuff.

I never used to wear any foundation at all--only some blush and eyeshadow--but over the past few years (and especially since I've gotten pregnant) my skin has gotten progressively worse, and at times prone to blemishes, so I've been wearing a full coverage cream foundation with powder on the top. It covers all of the imperfections, but ends up looking like a mask. I wanted something more natural (and less likely to further irritate my skin), and Bare Minerals looked like the perfect solution. It certainly delivers on the promise of a natural look; but I'm not totally pleased with the amount of coverage it provides for my trouble spots.

Any tips or secrets? I really want to make this stuff work, and I've seen proof that it does, but it's leaving me with doubts that I can really get away with so little coverage.

Hang in there! I found that you can use a concealer on the blemishes then do the BM routine. You will not have to do this forever, as the longer you stick to BM the better your complexion will get. Give it a little time and you will see a major difference in your skin. :yay:

I wasn't too impressed with it at first, but after about 2 weeks I loved it! I'm definitely hooked on BM's and will never switch to anything else.
