Had the strangest thing happen last night. I have noticed when it gets a little warm, my face starts itching. Last night we were eating at a restaurant outside and it was particularly humid, my face started itching and stinging so badly!!! I had to leave. Once I washed my face, I was better. What in the world is in the BE that caused that?

Tex -- have you tried a new blush or anything? There is one eye color I can't wear -- "twig" -- because it makes my eyes itch. Just depends on the minerals in each product. I was going to post earlier, too, Tex that the BE might still be covering like it always has (you said the rosacea is covered), but you're just getting used to seeing your face "almost flawless" so there isn't the big difference now. My face cleared up a lot after I started using BE, so there isn't this dramatic before and after effect that I used to have --mainly because the "before' isn't as bad!

I talked with the BE 'expert' at Ulta today, Tex <whoohoo, ours carries BE, also> and asked her about your problem. I, too, have a couple of 'itchy' places. She said, 'Because the minerals are trying to heal your skin, it can cause itching.' She also said, you could be allergic to one of the minerals used in the formula. Try to cut down the amount and leave out the Mineral Veil. She was an awesome lady! Hope this helps you out!!

Well, after doing alot of research, I have found that it might be the bismuth on the BE that is causing the itchies. I have just ordered samples of another mineral foundation called Pure Luxe. I love the look of BE, it just may have to be my cooler weather foundation.

I've been thinking about buying BE for awhile now but wanted to wait until I was out of my other makeup first. For those of you who buy regularly, are the prices Abby posted good or could I get it for less at Sephora?

fee, the one thing that sephora has over qvc is the ability to have a consultant use the products on you and show you how to use them. then can pick out the foundation colors that are your perfect match. qvc is good for new colors of things like blushes and eyeshadows and glimmers (also on refills). try, before you buy. i'm lucky enough to have a BE store close by.

Good point landi! However, me of little free time, went ahead and purchased BE via QVC with blind faith about 2 weeks ago. I received most of the products I selected and the foundation was the one item that I waffled on picking out. I went with #2 and I made a great choice! There were two items I selected through QVC and I'm on a Wait List. I absolutely love the BE products I've received so far and I'm hooked! I've found them very easy to apply and the outcomes are incredible. It's like playing around with an art set...trying out different colors and techniques. This past week, I've had a few people at work tell me "how rested I look"...LOL! Maybe I can put off that facelift for another 10 years...hee-hee! It's just a joke, I would rather buy myself a new car than pay for a facelift...lol! Included with my QVC orders, which I had to pay individual S&H costs for each item ordered, I received a brochure from BE with an offer to purchase anything in their brochure via phone and pay only $3.97 S&H for my whole order. So I'll be picking out some other items and calling in for this one-time S&H deal, which will save me lots of extra money. Freelangee, I could speak to QVC prices vs the BE Brochure prices. They are the same price, however, QVC will have "special" combos of BE products which are not offered in the brochure. I'm sure this is a type of contractual deal due to selling the BE products via QVC audiences. If I'm out and about and I do see a Sephora or the like, I'll certainly stop in and play around with their products. I'd liken it to stopping at Baskin Robbins and asking for those little pink taster spoonfuls of ice cream flavors...lol!!

In case you weren't aware --QVC is having 3 big shows this weekend of BE items. One was last night, one was this afternoon and there is another tonight or tomorrow. If you go to qvc.com and click on the "24 hour product review" you can choose the shows that have already been on and see the items. Two that I was most interested in -- first their ONCE a year offering of the 16 oz. Faux Tan. Usually they only have it in the 4.5 oz. size. I have the 16 oz. and it lasts a long time. They have it a great anniversary price and you can even get it on auto-delivery for the anniversary price. If I weren't saving for a patio set, I'd jump on this deal. The second deal I DID get -- it was two new "eye quickies" for $17 (+s/h). One is "ice queen" a silver sheer glimmer and the other is "sun goddess" a golden sheer glimmer. They can be worn alone, but they do REALLY cool things when you put them over (or under) other colors. Leslie (the BE lady) suggests putting the "ice" (cool glimmer) over WARM eye shadows for a stunning effect. I saw one demo where one of the models had on a taupey eye shadow and over one side they put the ice and on the other they put the sun. Even on TV you could see the difference it made -- can't wait to see it "live" on MY eyes! LOL They also look like they'd be great sheer shadows for summer time. Ok -- end of plug. One of these days I'm gonna' give up teaching and become a BE sales person! LOL (wonder if they'd let me open my own boutique in Michigan???)

hi landi. i have a question regarding a BE store in napa. my sis' and niece will be in napa for 3 days and will be purchasing BE at the napa store. (that's what she told me last weekend). However, checking back on this thread...i'm a bit confused...i found a post where you said there is a store 45 minutes away from you? (hmmm, if you are in napa, what store is my sis' planning on going to?). apparently she made her first purchase for the products at the maderia c-something (?) store. loves the product, wasn't so happy with the salesgirl (about giving her info. about all the products). i told her about "this thread" and about all the products everyone mentioned. however, since i just skimmed the thread i couldn't give her any real info. just told her about how you all loved it and gave tips, etc. so, is there a store in napa?

Does anyone know if there's a site that helps you find a place that sells BE near you? My skin has started looking awful in the last few years. Too much sun damage or something. I just spent a huge wad of money on Mary Kay stuff and while I like their Miracle skin stuff and moisturizers, the foundation isn't much better than anything else I've tried. I've really been wanting to try BE, but I want to try it in a store first. I'm not sure ordering it by mail will convince me, I'm a make-up dummy. It looks complicated and I'd rather have someone there to help.

Got the special value -- told myself I wasn't, but then all those beautiful warm colors showed up AND there was the makeup bag. They had a 3 hour show on at 9 this morning (that I tivo'ed) and there is another one on tonight at 8 or 9 PM EST. If you're thinking of trying it, these shows show you exactly how to apply the makeup -- sometimes the ladies in a store put a bit too much on, so the shows give you a better idea of what to do.

I've been interested in trying this makeup for awhile and all of you talking about it in this thread got me really interested. While I was on my honeymoon in NYC, I went by Sephora and got a starter kit and a blush. I took it back to the hotel and put it on and WOW! You now have a new Bare Escentuals convert. I love this makeup and that is a huge endorsement because for my whole life I have hated makeup. I went back a few days later and got the brow kit, mascara, a couple of eye shadows and clear radiance. I went back a third time and got some lip gloss and eye liner. I also caught the special value the other day and it's already been delivered. I love the rose radiance. I'm hooked! I love how easy this is to put on. I love how it feels like nothing is on your face after you put it on. I like that you can just get a fresb, natural look for everyday and can also easily make a more dramatic look for going out. I'm sure this is my makeup forever. I'll never go back to putting the ugly liquid glop on my face.

Hi everyone. I DID end up having some major itching problems with BE. I had to quit using it and have switched to M.A.C. powder foundation. The #1 thing I like about M.A.C. compared to BE is the lack of 'dust' around our bathroom! My normally patient dh was not thrilled with the way BE ended up everywhere! <we live in the desert and the air-conditioning blows everything> All of you enjoy your BE, it is a GREAT product, but not for me...

Bummer, Kstme -- but glad DH is happier now. Welcome Azriel! I love the darker eyeshadow in that special value of the day -- and tinted mineral veil is perfect for this time of year. I only "tan" w/Faux Tan (another BE item), so the tinted mineral veil has sped things ups a bit since I don't have to mix my foundations anymore. I just put on the light and then use the darker mineral veil.

Great,now I want the tinted mineral veil!! HI AZ!! I didnt go with the lips, and mascara, I still use the waterproof stuff from Revlon! Love the Rose Radience!! Have you tried the "foiling" technique? I take a wet brush (or Qtip) and then dip in the powder eye shadow, then apply to the lid as a liner... WOW!! Practice first!! I also had one day when I had an "itchy" feel, but I was at a college tour, and ignored it... actually forgot about it till now!! I'll have to try and see if it happens again (that was a few days ago, 5 hours from where I live, it was a very humid day, and we've had humid days in chicago...?? hmmm) Good thing I missed the QVC special... saved some money, but I do have BE envy teach!

I love to "foil," too, Reader! I have the tan lines glimmer that is absolutely gorgeous foiled for the summer. I hope they eventually come out with a BIG tinted mineral veil. The one that was w/ the special value is the size of the summer bisque (blush size -- not eye shadow -- but still, not as big as the "regular" mineral veil).

I have died and gone to heaven. We're visiting Dallas for a few days and staying about two steps from the Galleria Mall. There is a Sephora store there that sells BE!!! While I can't afford anything new at the moment, I intend to check out the colors LIVE and IN PERSON and then write down the ones I want for Christmas! LOL They also have Smashbox cosmetics -- my second favorite!

OK, I am so sick of hearing about how all of you love your BE!! Now I want it too! Here's the situation. I am going to be going on lots of job interviews soon and while I used to not be able to wear anything(makeup wise...lol), I have some adult acne I need to conceal. I don't own a stitch of makeup. It always makes me feel greasy and made up like a doll. I do know that I will need some for a professional look though. What would you experts suggest I start with, giving the fact that I hate makeup?
