Bare Minerals makeup

[ArkRescue]

I went to QVC and behold ... I saw a wonderful set of sheets I wanted !!!!!!! So I had to click that "X" on the window to stop myself

Don't bother with all that...get it at QVC...lots of good deals and exclusive colors and brushes.

Does anyone like the new container for the BM foundation? When you take off the lid, you can twist the top of the container and it becomes a little "shaker" container.

I love the new container! Now I only have to shake out as much as I need and I don't have to worry about the container being upside down when I toss it in my travel bag.

Can't stand the new container. You can't pop the top off like before to get to the tiny bit that's left at the bottom - and that's annoying when you're spending $25 on it. I'd like to at least get it all before I have to buy a new container, but it just sits at the bottom of the clear part teasing me.

When I ran out before, I could pop the top and get the last little bit, then refill from the myriad of sample sizes I had laying around. No more of that. Now I wish I'd have saved my old container - then I could bust open the new one and do the refill.

I did the same thing! I usually forget to place an order when I'm nearly out, and run out while waiting on it to arrive. So I mix my own for a few days. I still have a container. I might have an extra one, I'll look and see.

Speaking of empty containers - I take some of the "Glee" (which I use for blush) from the larger container and put into a trial/sample size container. That way I have more room in my makeup bag.

Clever! I need something tiny to put my blush in. I've had it since I started using Bare Minerals, I hardly use a pinch each time I put it on. Nothing really popped up as an appropriate container for something like that though - I really like to use the lid to distribute it around the bristles of the brush.

Maybe I just need a bigger makeup bag...

Where did you order from? Mine is in the new container that closes inside. Just got my order this week.

Little expensive but it's good and last a long time. The eye liner comes right off though.

Agreed, but the foundation is unsurpassed by the copy-cats, so I'm sticking to paying for the original after having tried several of the cheaper copy-cats

You are right! Ive tried some others and they are awful. Ill stick with this. I like the blush too, although i dont use it much. i have a couple eye shadows and like them too.

Double agreed. I tried some cheaper brands - not to mention my mother is an Avon lady so I get theirs for free - but nothing is as good as Bare Minerals.

Let me be the first to say that Avon has some great products, but "mineral" foundation is NOT one of them ..... I do have my Avon Fav's that I order online now that my Avon lady abandoned me .....

The only place I get mine from is Sephora - I've been getting the new ones for at least 2 or 3 times. So this was a suprise. I hope it's permanent. (Mine is not the matte finish, either.)

I picked up some replacement Bare Minerals foundation yesterday at the PaxRvr Navy Exchange. Lots of variety, but not as much variety as you'd find at their store in the mall, obviously. Also, pretty decent price.

I love Bare Minerals.

Mine was the original. Interesting but maybe they are still working through the older stock in the older containers? Seems odd though because you are probably ordering the same color .... so it's not like they have more or less based on color?

Medium beige. I hope it's not a fluke, but I won't know until I order more.

What color I use depends on the season because in Winter I'm pale as can be, and of course in Summer I get a little color. BUT I am usually using the 2nd or the 3rd lightest colors they make. I STILL have the same Bare Minerals blush I bought several years ago. Lasts a LONG time.

For the short periods of time that color doesn't work, I either mix in a little "warmth" or some of the multitasking powder or the mineral veil that came from the first kit I ever got.
