Try Ulta! I've seen it there.

Sassy, here's a video on application...I'm sure it'd work for your mineral foundation too. I didn't know how to apply it either, and this helped.

Wow you girls know a lot o stuff I feel undereducated in the makeup department. I really don't wear that much makeup just bronzer and base and lips but I get tired of lipstick colors fast so I keep buying them . I use Loreal lipstick and it works well.

Would like to try Lancome lipsitick but too expensive right now.

Soft*Silver · 08-17-2010, 09:24 AM

I have tons of Lancome lipstick but frankly I dont like it. I do love their mascara...

sweetfemme247 · 08-17-2010, 09:52 AM

see I have a issue on what kind of lipstick i should wear, i have a small face and i am pale. and small lips nothing looks right on me but i so want to wear some.

Have you tried the dept store brands they have all kinds of sales people that could help you find the right color, just saying??

PinkieLee · 08-17-2010, 10:12 AM

Yep, another fan of Bare Minerals here, too. I've worn it for years... and have yet to find anything that gives me the ability for sheer OR full coverage, without feeling heavy at all. I live close to the Gulf in Texas... so it's hella humid here and it has NEVER sweated off! But I must admit, I also think that the trick is in the application brushes, too. They just work best with the product.

Anyone that wants to try them out, without the big costly prices, should check out eBay. I buy all of my stuff there, or at the outlet store in San Marcos (when I'm in Austin).

The only store brand of minerals that comes close, is actually Physicians Formula. I use them when I forget to place an order. And, it's only about $10 for the foundation and mineral viel.

My everyday eyeshadow is a new line that I actually found at Walmart *gasp* called Hard Candy. They have some awesome colors that stay on all day long, for only about $6.00 each. I stand there in the makeup aisle, like a kid in a candy store, trying to decide what colors I wanna buy! TONS of colors of lip glosses, lipsticks, blushes, bronzers, eyeliners... you name it! It's great that I can buy a bunch of different stuff, and if I don't like it, it's really not a big waste of money. They even have some of those eyeshadow sheets ~ but I've never tried them. I'm too much of a color blender to even venture to try them. But, they look pretty cool.

hmm i might shop around alittle, i have this problem since i work in production in a warehouse of goodwill, im around dust all the time, and my chin and around my mouth break out and i have tried every cleaning thing i can find and nothing works.

Another favorite of mine http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/prod...-porefessional this is a fabulous product that can be used as a primer before hand or as a touch up/oil control throughout the day. The best part is a very very little goes a long way and it truly makes your skin smooth as butter which is wonderful for application purposes.

VintageFemme · 03-02-2013, 11:58 PM

My favourite new product hands down is Nars Tinted Moisturizer. OMGosh, it is seriously beautiful stuff. That, a little tinted Nivea lip care & touch up those eyebrows & you are good to go in about um, ten seconds. It's gorgeous and doesn't look like make up at all and just feels velvety and perfect. Your skin looks seriously gorgeous so fast. I can't love it enough.

Oh and I've become such a fan of Philosophy's Miracle Worker skin care products. It's sad to learn late in life that you really do get what you pay for with skin care and if I could tell my younger self anything of any value, it would be to use better quality products at a younger age. It's absolutely worth a few extra dollars in the long run.

Someone asked where you can get BareMineral products. I found the best prices on theri web sit. They have great starter kits to try and not that expensive for a wonderful product.

uncommondialogue · 03-03-2013, 03:22 PM

Meri,
I did get the facial products on HSN, yes. As I mentioned, my favorite is the Youthful Essence! It has a nice unit that can be used in the shower and comes with numerous pads to use on it for exfoliating and cleaning.
