jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Have any of you used the Bare Minerals makeup? I'm thinking of trying it (ordering online) and I was wondering if you've used it, and if so, what you thought about it. Any inputs would be appreciated. Here's the link where they are having a sale now, sort of... http://www.bareminerals.com/kits_bm4.html JJ

I also have the eye liner powder which I also use to fill in my brows a bit and I use the blush which I like. If you've never used this kind of powder you don't dip your brush directly in the "jar" you take it from the lid and tap off the excess. I buy mine from a TV home shopping channel. I couldn't get your link to open so I think its the same. Hope that helps:)

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Val, Thanks for the input. I got a sample kit from them one time and loved it. But that was months and months ago. I especially loved the powder. I wish I had kept up with the specific names of each product they sent, but I didn't. The link was a separate "sales" page and I guess that's why it didn't work. If you go here: http://www.bareescentuals.com/id/ and then click on the Introductory page, it will show what I'm thinking of getting. It's around 60.00 bucks. Do you mind telling me what you think about this? I've never bought anything from the TV Home Shopping network. Cheaper? I'm all for that if it is! JJ

Val Member Registered: 06/12/05 Posts: 110 Loc: Pa.	It looks to be the same as I ordered. I ordered mine from QVC but I forget now what I paid for it. You could go to their site and compare? I have trouble with my skin being smooth. So if I have a dry patch or this or that the dry minerals makes it look worse. I am still working on a solution to this and haven't found the perfect one yet. I am thinking of trying a tinted mosturizer. Anyway something to keep in mind if you have very dry skin.

I don't think I want to use that acronym for something I put on my face...ewwww! Thanks for your reply. I think I'll check out the other site and compare, as you suggested. JJ

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	How do you know what color to buy? That may sound like a dumb question, but with BM ( ) to me the choices are not easy. Especially when you are a redhead. I'm so fair complexed you would have to fan the white sheets to find me. Same with Neutrogena? Help? I may try and check them out today at our friendly CVS drugstore. I like trying something new the inexpensive route first...Now ya talking. I went to QVC but it is still too pricey for this old gal...then again, I guess you get what you pay for. I truly should have been born rich instead of so darn cute. Sigh.... JJ
