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.

Good for you, Kim!

I am in complete agreement with everything that you said. I feel the same way, too!

I'm almost due for a new jar of Mineral Veil & and foundation in Light. It's amazing how well it matches my skin tone! Instead, I bought just a little jar of eyeliner in Coffee Bean. I have a few more weeks to go until I'm in the desperation stages.

I love, love, LOVE Warmth! How fantastic is that stuff? I use it as a blush & dust it across my nose for a healthy glow. I don't tan during the winter months, so the Warmth gives me a jolt of color where I really need it most. I absolutely love Warmth.

Enjoy! I'm so happy for you!

Your Sister In Minerals,

I'm glad you like them Kim.
I agree that the hardest part is figuring out how much to use.
My skin is calmer since I am not scrubbing foundation off every day. And really, I sleep in it a lot of the time.
The more I wash my face the more I aggravate it, and the roscea gets darker.

Once I get the full hang of it, I'll be stying. But really, the people who see me daily think it was once of the best purchases I've ever made.

*Though it has crossed my mind... so we get totally addicted to this stuff, what happens if she ever goes out of business?

Several companies, including philosophy, http://www.philosophy.com/webapp/wcs...category=23506, are coming out with similar minerals-based powdered foundation. I think the stuff is here to stay!

Way cool link, Clairebear!

I was just playing with Philosophy's Supernatural last week at Sephora. I had seen it in the catalog, and was curious to see what it was all about! It comes in a very neat container.

There is another brand of Bare Minerals sold next to Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals at the Beauty Emporium where I purchase mine.I couldn't remember the brand name until I googled away. Lo & behold- Mineral Essence!

Shop away, Mineralettes!

I am so in love with this site! They offer absolutely everything. I discovered & clicked upon some Bare Mineral products I never even knew existed! I really need to go to the Bare Minerals boutique, but I'm almost scared to. I'll want everything!

How cool are these?

Lip Quickies!

There are some shades I've only seen at Sephora Downtown Disney, and then there are some I've only seen at Beauty Collection Apothecary (where I shop). I'm sure the Bare Minerals shop would carry everything! Oh, the fun!
