I love Philosophy too. As a matter of fact, I just got my giant, 32oz. Purity last week! Best price on earth through the Q. I am going to start a weekly peel. I'm weighing the diff between the microdelivery and oxygen peels. Both look great.

I just can't believe my luck. Today I finally decided that I am going to try Bare Escentural so I checked QVC and discovered they are having the show Azriel posted about. I can't wait! Any suggestions you guys have will be greatly appreciated.

Get it all! I have been watching for the big faux tan (LOVE IT), and it showed up a couple days ago -- this kit was $70...but today's value is $58. The faux tan ALONE was $50 last year. Basics to start w/though -- foundation, mineral veil and a cheek/eye collection. Their mascara (regular) is FABULOUS! Washes off easily but won't COME off until you use a wee bit of soap. Have fun

One more thing -- when you're starting out, always buy the brush combo. The brushes are phenomenal, extremely soft and absolutely necessary to put the make-up on correctly.

I ordered the 26 piece set that is on the BE Website, (seems like a pretty good deal). I cannot wait to get it!

I'd say that should cover it! Did you get a chance to see any of the demonstrations on QVC? Watching the application process is really helpful -- it takes VERY little of the products, and you'll feel like you don't have anything on. However, that's the beauty of it-- it covers well without a lot. Just wait 'til you start mixing your own colors! It's like coloring for grown-ups.

I just went and checked out what was in the 26 piece kit- - WOW! You'll have tons of fun w/those products (and the makeup bags are FABULOUS!). Just one word of caution -- I use the coffee bean liner, but it takes miniscule amounts, especially if you use it wet. After I line it (wet), I typically take a q-tip or liner brush over the line when dried to "smudge" it a bit. That also prevents it from creating another line on the upper part of your lid. It lasts forever though! I've gone 36 hrs. w/out reapplying (post-prom, all-night kind of deal -- so I didn't sleep in it). Yup, you're gonna have fun!

Would any of you familiar with these products mind offering me some suggestions on foundation/sheers to get started? I am virtually a no make-up type; a little mascara and I'm off and running. I can't stand the feel of foundation, but this product sounds promising. How sheer/light are the foundations? I looked at them online and am thinking maybe the medium beige would work, but who knows. Anyway, if someone has a few product ideas, or any "oh, get this for sure", I'd appreciate it.

Penguin -- if you go to QVC you can see models w/each of the different shades. Just search for A19376 (the foundation)...near the bottom is says, "Get an exact match. See women of different skin tones...." and you can click the "see women." Seeing the different models may help you pick out the right color. I'd do a direct link, but the URL is astronomically long! Medium is the most often purchased color as long as you have pink undertones. If you have golden undertones (like me), light works better. The foundation is so sheer, you won't even feel it. It covers the skin imperfections, but you "buff" it in and I have never, ever had a line -- even when I use a foundation 3 shades darker than my own so I can match my "faux tan" body! LOL It feels non-existent, looks fabulous but natural, and will not feel like "make up." I tried an airwhip foundation after using BE and felt like a clown -- haven't been able to use anything else for a long time now. My "get it for sure" includes foundation and mineral veil. I have dry skin, but the foundation alone made my face feel a bit "moist." The mineral veil on top of it makes all the difference in the world. The QVC host says it's "airbrushing" for your face- - and that's the best way to describe it. The other products I have at the top include bisque (I have horribly dark circles under my eyes, plus redness and an age spot to cover up) and mascara. Finally -- the brushes are a "must have." W/both the foundation and the mineral veil you can get a brush w/the makeup through QVC, and that is definitely the best value.

John Travolta or Lord of the Dance (what's his name?) -- your pick. Either way, you'll be looking HOT w/your new BE make-up!! LOL This is one of those few products that I'm just nuts over. Usually, I could care less -- I'm one of the least trendy people I know. If it isn't comfy I don't buy it, and that's about my only standard! LOL However, if there were a BE store remotely nearby, I'd apply to work there in the summers just to share my enthusiasm! Flawless skin is just a few brush buffs away. We will now expect pictures Kristy and Penguin!! (I've got my cheapie school picture posted under my profile -- I have a TON of freckles so that will give you some idea of the coverage.)

The faux tan came today!!! I've used it before, so will apply it tomorrow morning after a shave and exfoliation. However, I couldn't resist trying the faux tan face color. It's FABULOUS!! Gives the faux tan look with just the teensiest bit of minerals but blends so I don't look like I have a "tan line" under my chin. The lip stuff is great too! Thanks, Kristy -- I'm lucky; I've got "good genes" that don't wrinkle much. LOL
