You know I did!!!! But, I need the starter kit!!! I can't find it anywhere in my color. They were sold out at the Sephora store and sephora.com. I may have to try QVC or the HSN, I forget which one sells it.

I am in love with Bare Minerals!! There is no mask, just nice perfect even coverage!! i need more...must have more!!!!!

ME TOO! I am crazy in love obsessed with Bare Minerals!! It's like the skin I've dreamt of having my entire life is inside of those little jars! It's absolutely magical!

I've been away for a few days & totally underpacked! I carry my Minerals with me in my cosmetic bag, thankfully! I was in flourescent light (Ally skin enemy number one ) and applied my Minerals. Presto! I had FLOURESCENT FRIENDLY SKIN!! It's just so amazing!

More reasons to love Minerals: I carry my trusty DuWop Venom Lipgloss in Firethorn with me, but needed something a little more deeper on my lips. I took my jar of Thistle blush and dabbed a little of the Minerals on my lips, topping it with Mor Lip Nectar in Sorbet (I was going to use Smith's Rosebud Lipbalm but wanted a little more shine). Abracadabra- a brand new new lipgloss shade!

I could babble all day about this stuff. I'm truly in love!

Merry Prankster~ I had no idea there were more blush colors! Must..purchase..more.. Thank you!

Ponine~ I am so in agreement with you! Isn't it the best thing not to be able to scrub foundation off every day? My skin thanks me, too! I never thought I'd know that feeling!

Thank God for Bare Minerals!

I just found out one of my friends bought the Goddess kit. i'm going over tomorrow so we can play dress-up!!

i can't find the Complexion Perfection kit anywhere!!! I have to wait until after Hawaii anyways. hmm....maybe I'll try looking in Hawaii. I can't wait to try the eyeshadows.

I haven't had time to try Bare Minerals yet. Does anyone know if it covers well for those of us with rosacea? My cheeks are horrible - scaly and red. My current foundation covers them, but it's just so thick, which makes them even more scaly and red.

OKay.. here I am to answer that. I am not a walking commercial, I am not in love... HOWEVER...
it works.

Being a skeptic, I had the gal in Sephora do my face for me. The gal pal with me thought it was lovely.
It does cover my red cheeks... but its not as.... concealing as liquid concealer. What wierd is that it does cover the red as long as I dont touch it. Which I am always doing.
I am so concious of my red cheeks... and I hate them. Let me ask my cube neighbor.. yeah, she says I dont have red cheeks today. (rofl)

Anyway.. yes, it covers the red. You have to learn how to not put too much on, but otherwise... it works. I am blending two colors to get the right color too.

OoooOooOOh!! Ok, now I'm definitely going to try some when I go next week.

I wish I could go without makeup at some point, but whenever I do, people always say, "Oh no! Your cheeks are all sunburned! Here's some sunscreen!" It is SO blasted annoying.

I'll try and do a before and after pic for you.
