I've got very uneven skin tones, red blotches, etc. and hope this will help. The money back guarantee sounded good. I see Cover Girl, Maybelline and others are now using the same concept. Any info, thoughts or suggestions? TIA

I like Bare Minerals makeup and Arbonne skin care
I don't like to look like I have makeup on and the Bare Minerals helps me accomplish that. The Arbonne skin care is pricey, but to me well worth it - I took a year break from it and went back! I absolutely love the Sephora website!
Bare Escentuals, who makes Bare Minerals.
Bare Minerals???
I guess this is the board to put such a question on...If not, let me know.
Has anyone here tried or use Bare Minerals? I just received the starter kit as a gift and have pretty sensitive skin so I thought I'd try to get some feedback from my fave site, lol!!!
Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!
Bare Minerals
I use bare minerals and love it. It looks so natural and feels great on. As a matter of fact, I just got married on July 26, 2008 and many of the ladies involved with my wedding were bare minerals users as well. GREAT PRODUCT!
I use Bare Minerals and LOVE it!
I don't know where you live, but in most places you can find somewhere that sells it in the store, so you don't have to order it and wait for the mail! Usually upscale salons sell it. Good luck and let us know how you like it, I do, and have used it for awhile. I tried Sheer Cover, and went back to Bare Minerals.
Love my Bare Minerals.
I have been using it for about 4 years now and I love it. I've tried quite a few other mineral makeups so I will tell you what I have found:
Loreal - Did not make a shade light enough to match my skin. Did not blend well.
Maybelline - Hideous pinkish-orange tinge to their fairest color. It took Maybelline so long to come out with a mineral makeup, I was shocked that it was so bad.
TruMinerals - got this on the Internet. It looked very nice and blended very well, but it had a very unpleasant odor. I didn't like their mineral veil either, nor any of the other items that came in the kit.
Avon - I really liked Avon's mineral makeup. The color was beautiful and it had the same nice texture as Bare Minerals. They do not have a wide range of color choices, though.
Here is a winner, which really surprised me, because it is CHEAP: NYC (New York Color) which I bought at WalMart. Both the foundation and the mineral veil are very good and blend nicely. I use my Bare Minerals brushes, though. The brushes they come with really don't work so well. NYC is less than $5, which is a great price for mineral makeup, less than half the other drugstore brands and much, much less than Bare Minerals.
I still think Bare Minerals is the best, but it is just so expensive. I'll either stick with NYC or buy my Bare Minerals on ebay, which I have a couple of times when I have run out between my next shipment.
Mineral makeup has been so good to my skin! I have much less trouble with breakouts since I have been using it. Good luck!
I'm just curious. Do you wear makeup. I use makeup
to enhance what God gave me. Just curious.
I use Smoky Mountain Minerals
http://www.smokymountainminerals.com/home,home.html. I really loved the Bare Minerals that my mom had given me, but it was a bit pricey, so I started using Smoky Mountain. I love the makeup. It's not heavy like normal foundation and I really like the halo glow. I have a pretty unevel skin tone myself and it covers that nicely without looking heavy.
Bare Essentials
Seriously- I tend to lick and bite my lips alot so most lipstick is gone almost immediately but this kind really sticks. Not too expensive either, about 15 dollars.
Bare Essentials
Yes, I have noticed that I get it on the sink. I try to be careful but it still happens.
Bare Essentials question
For those of you who wear Bare Essentials or something similar, when do you put on your moisturizer? Do you let it soak in and then apply the make up? Thanks in advance!
....as hard water would have the minerals and iron dissolved

Pizza for us too (delivery) - my cuboards are bare
Been bare all week. Tired of meals consisting of popcorn, potato chips, or buttered rice (nothing else, just buttered rice), and other "non-meal" items.
Glad the weekend is here to do grocery shopping.
Thanks so much. just ordered some--nm

I almost ordered one of those
until seeing your post, it is the only reference I have seen about the Eden Pure. What went wrong with it? Could it have just been a bad one? Kinda curious. Could it be you are in an exceptionally cold area while I am on the coast where it would not have to work so hard?
I ordered the DVD and the book.
I have been applying The Secret for about 2 or maybe a little more weeks now. Also my husband and grown son are using it. We are all experiencing interesting results. I am using it to lose weight and so far have lost several pounds without dieting. My son worked on 5000 dollars and last week received 1000 and then got another 4000. My husband is using it for more energy.
Yep, ordered to court but you might be ok
the only exempt 1 today was a new owner and he had just had lawn put down- but having said that- you are only allowed maybe a month and then after that a homeowner on same restrictions as others so don’t know how much it could get roots and grow by them. We have sprinkler system but I try not to use if I can, just too expense and I am cheap!
After my trying day this is just what the doctor ordered! SM
Thank you for those gorgeous pictures. Is there anything in the world more wonderful than the animals we live with, learn from and love? I can go to bed now with a smile. 
Unfortunately, I am court ordered to do it
..
Just ordered his phone!
My dad is the same with regards to modern technology. He does not even own a computer and I think he believes the "internet" is some entity that is not to be trusted LOL He still actually drives to his bank to take care of any business! Maybe your mom and my dad can hook up
This is me and my makeup
No mtter how much money I have or have had, I always feel like I am almost in the soup line. I have worked since I was in high school. I never wanted to be on welfare and I guess this accounts for my work ethics. If I were to win a lottery now I doubt that I could give my job up - lot of people do not understand this but this is just how I feel. I always have the mentality of not having enough money although realistically this is not the case- just my feelings. I would think it is sorta like how an anorexic person is- they are skin and bones yet think they are fat? I have enough money but since in school just think I need to always work and make more.
I ordered from the website, and when I called in my
order I expressed that I, too, thought it a bit pricey, and she told me that they were having an after Christmas sale, so she told me to check back with them, and she also said they will be adding new designs. She didn't say how much everything would be discounted, but I'll check back. The pieces are so pretty!
Thanks. I just ordered the salt and the baconaise
I think, if the Baconaise is good, DH will be happy. He can have BLTs again. That's his favorite sandwich.
anyone ordered prescriptions from Canada?
I'm on Benicar, Restasis eye drops, and Celebrex and found out the group insurance offered by my new company has $5000 deductible and doesn't cover drugs. I bought BCBS on my own and there is an extreme limit on brand name drugs. I'm thinking about ordering from Canada but wondered if anyone else has done that. They advertise 180 Celebrex for $97 and BCBS will charge $180 for only 30.
Prescriptives makeup
 Does anyone use this makeup? If so, what is your opinion? Thanks!
He has darkened them with makeup
that's why they look so odd.
mineral makeup
Just wanted those of you who were interested awhile ago (back in early November??) that Mary Kay's new line of mineral make-up foundation is now available!!! I tried it and it is GREAT!!
I did the same thing, ordered a TVon line- sm
on Thanksgiving Day and went at my leisure yesterday morning and picked it up in the store (was only a 24" so manageable)--cheaper to pick it up than have it shipped. That was my B-day present to myself with my B-day money, ended up costing us only $50 plus gas to get it (about $8). Still was able to hit Sears early enough though and get my DH some good deals (50% off) on tools; he's a happy camper about that. Those that go out at 5 a.m. I think are nuts. I've always just gotten up at normal time and be out the door by 8, all the early bird specials are usually good until 11 or 12 as it is. Happy shopping!
The noncustodial parent needs to get court-ordered...
visitation, which the custodial parent will have to abide by.
Turned out to be Domino's pizza - which I ordered
I tell you, it's a tough world!
The older you are, the lighter the makeup. SM
That Bare Ecentials brand is good. Looks natural, but covers flaws.
I'm using Sally Hansen Spray Makeup. Use a moisturizer first, then spray makeup on sponge. Cover with some light powder and some blush. Really light eyeshadows, since I have circles around eyes. If needed, some eyeliner (not black) and mascara.
Pre-teens and makeup question. sm
My DD just turned 13 and I have agreed to allow her to wear basic makeup now. However, she is not applying it appropriately to where I think it looks decent. I am not a big makeup person and all the teens are into this glitter stuff at that. I would like to take her somewhere to really teach her how to apply makeup, select her colors, etc. Does anyone know of a place that does this type of thing and any good recommendations that would help?
Of course it is!!! Makeup is for helping people

"trees" are up. I have 2. Ordered one this year for our master bedroom and sm
it is huge!! We have vaulted ceilings. Then we have our 7.5 in our living room. The one in our bedroom is near the fireplace and has very nice collectable ornaments and the other tree has just memorable ones, ornaments kids made, etc.
But my favorite decoration this year is a topiary that I made. I wish I could take a picture. I love it! I just made it up with leftover things I already had. It is gorgeous. Sits on my dining room table as a centerpiece. Having a huge Christmas party tomorrow night.
Ladies, how did you learn to apply makeup?
How have you changed the way you wear makeup as you have aged? What do you wear and tell me how you apply it? I've never worn makeup except for awhile in high school and I'm thinking that I'm needing some color in my face now that I've aged (what a horrid word that is!!). The thing is, I know NOTHING about it. Tell me everything I need to know so I won't end up looking like a clown!! PLEASE.
I use the Virtual Matte Oil Control makeup. It's kind
of expensive, but I don't get a rash or any breakouts using it. It's about 30 bucks.
I just have to brag on this mineral makeup stuff. I bought some from sm
Ulta a few weeks ago - it's the Ulta Brand - cheaper than Bare Minerals. It was around 35.00 for the kit. I think it's called Pure. I got blush medium. LOVE IT!
Right now you can try for free Purity Mineral Science for 7.95 shipping. You get 3 brushes, a gorgeous little bag and 3 products that go together and 3 cosmetic brushes - 2 big ones, 1 small one for concealing.
I ordered it Fri and it came today. Anyways, of course I LOVE IT. But on the piece of paper it stated in small letters: If you decide to keep this kit we will bill you 59.00 and then every 2 months you will receive another set of makeup at a low, low cost of 29.99 every 2 months. Which is an automatic refill kind of thing. I've never done that and I don't like that,so I called to cancel my trial and to see how much it would cost to keep this lovely kit. She said 35.00 allows me to keep the kit and cancel all future memberships, no charges, etc. I am THRILLED!
I have to tell you - I immediately put the makeup on when I got it at 1:00 EST. It is now 4:56 and I still look fresh as ever! I can't believe it. I LOVE it. I love, love, love it.
I have been a Mary Kay user for about 14 years. I love the coverage MK gives, and this gives awesome coverage too!
anyways, husband just called rip roaring mad while I was typing this and he really piss** me off, so I will end this "nice" conversation I was having with ya'll. Just go try some if you've ever been wondering about this stuff.
Makeup question - mascara for sensitive eyes
I don't wear makeup every day, but I do on the rare occasion that I go out. It seems like my mascara has been really irritating my eyes lately when I wear it. I've tried a couple different brands, but they all seem to do it. My eyes get dry and itchy and I've been getting little annoying styes. Can anyone with sensitive eyes or contacts recommend a mascara that doesn't irritate your eyes? Thanks!!
Most places guarantee delivery by the 24th if ordered by the 22nd. EAsy.

Nordstrom.com sells BE Makeup and has faster shipping/ better customer service. ;-) nm

I take a shower before I start work and put on makeup but just wear comfy clothes...
I don't get dressed up or anything...maybe taking a shower before you start working would make you feel better...I can't work if I feel dirty--lol
Good nite! Kelly Pickler equals big boob job, too much makeup, whacked off hair!
