Ok, I got it in the mail on Friday and spent the weekend playing with it. We went to SF on Valentine's Day and went to the Bare Minerals store and I had them show me how to put it on so when I got it, I had an idea of what I was doing. I was shocked at the warmth when I first saw how dark it was and that she was going to put it on me. Once she got the makeup on, I loved it.
The first time I put it on, I used too much. I'm amazed at how little it takes for the amount of coverage you get. I think I have it down pretty good now. And I love, love, love it. I'm loving how my skin is clearing up by not using the gunky foundation I had been using. It's been pouring down rain here and I'm not having a problem with the makeup coming off. I love how light it feels on the skin.
I thought the DVD helped a lot with reminding you what to do and how to do it and offered some great tips. It does make me want more products though.
Having looked through the catalog and visiting the store, there is definitely a price difference between the two. There were a lot more bargains (things sold in groupings for a better price) than what the catalog offered. I really want to head back to the city to shop again.
I'm really pleased with the purchase and how this is actually living up to what it said it could do.
