OMG!!!! I LOVE this stuff! I will never wear anything but BE again. Penguingirl you will not regret making a purchase. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! My face feels great, no heavy make-up feeling and believe me I wear a lot of make-up. By the time I put on concealer, foundation, 2 shades of blush, 2 shades of eye shadow mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, a translucent powder to set it all, and my lashes I had to put on a neck brace by lunch time.

Penguin, if you have a Sephora near you, you can go in and have 'em sample the colors on you. Sephora also has a BE "starter kit" that includes two foundations, mineral veil, warmth, brushes, and the vitamin booster.

Teach, I'm not 'cross country, I'm in the Chicago 'burbs. Close enough? I live just a few miles from Oakbrook Center. I'd been thinking it would be a good place for a BE store. (The only one I've been in is in Hartsfield Airport.)

YEA! We got another convert while I was gone! Our first day in San Francisco we walked past a Sephora's and my husband said, "Okay, I know the drill - I hand you the credit card and get out of the way!"

Kristy, I'm so glad you got to try it and that you like it! It's just so different from traditional makeup. You have to feel it on your face to understand why we are all so crazy about it!

Teach, your picture is a great advertisement for BE! I don't think anyone would just look at you and think, "Her makeup looks good." When I look at the pretty healthy glow on your face, I immediately think, 'Wow, she has great skin!"

Now, I'm curious to know if Penguingirl has got to try it yet. I want everyone to use it so I'll have no trouble finding it all over the world! Lol!

WAY cool Color!! DS and I want to come to Chicago in the next few months to see Wicked, so if I could combine that with a BE store visit, it would be the next best thing to death by chocolate! LOL :-)

Thanks, Azriel -- that is one of the sweetest compliments I've ever been paid.

Teach, there are (will be) two stores -- the one opening this summer in Oakbrook Center and Woodfield. Both are in western suburbs. There's also a Sephora in Oakbrook. Don't know about Woodfield. Haven't been there for many yeas. It's too big.

Good to know. :-) I also saw that Amazon.com now sells some items. They tend to have the same price as QVC or Sephora and are NOT eligible for free shipping (as far as I could see). Leslie's making a difference (and a fortune) with her smart business sense!

Ok -- just looked at Amazon more closely, and they have EXACTLY the same prices as Sephora because they COME from Sephora! Gotta' learn to read the "fine print" more carefully.

I second Seeka! I get many items from her (but she's never carried the big faux tan). She's reliable and cheaper than QVC because of no tax. I've only bought items from a couple of other people on Ebay, and one no longer has her store.

The last few days here in NC have been miserable, in the mid 90's and extremely humid. Every time I go outside and start to sweat my face starts to inch something fierce. I love this makeup and don't want to give it up but I cannot take this itching. Anyone have this same problem and know a solution or do I have to give it up. Thanks

Ack, Kristy! I have really sensitive skin and it's never bothered me, but some of the BE products contain bismuth oxycloride and that can cause itching in some people :-( I'm not sure which of the products contain it, but I know that the bismuth is what makes the glimmery look, so it's probably in the radiance face colors for sure.

It seems strange that you've only had problems with it since you've been sweating though. There are other mineral makeups that don't contain the bismuth. Aromaleigh is one of them, but I've never tried it.

Also, I think that BE has a money back guarantee, so I'd call them and tell them your problem. This is the customer service number -
(800) 227-3990.

Thank you Azriel for the info. I have been using a radiance face color so I am going to leave that off and see what happens.

Yep only when I sweat, can wear it all day long but the minute I step outside and get hot I start itching.

Kristy -- you might work from the foundation up. Try just the foundation. If that's ok, add the mineral veil; if that's ok, add the radiance -- that would at least help you clearly id which product is causing the itching. There is one eye color (Twig) that I absolutely adored, but it made my eyes itch. I did one product at a time and it only took a couple days to figure out which one was causing the problem. Good luck. :-)

Wow -- so many cool items this time around! Love the new, BIG faux tan for face minerals, love the lip quickie/lip gloss combo -- loved the puppy love collection.

However, we're saving for a trip for next year, so I got two items that I've never even seen presented: Lippies -- they're a balm w/a slight color. They looked great and didn't break the bank. :-) SOOOOOo hard to resist the many new items, though!

Here's the link to the lip balms:

Philosophy is the special value of the day -- the set is HUGE and a great price. I didn't get it because it's a different face cream than I use (I need the Hope is Not Enough), but they've had some fun combos on all night. If you're low on any of their products, today is the day to watch!

I've been wanting to try BE for a while now but I don't know where to start! I looked on the BE website and can't really find the info I want (I dont want to watch the infomercial).

How do I know which sort of foundation to start with? I've been looking under Seeka's ebay listing and she has a great variety of stuff!

My sister will kill me because she sells Mary Kay ... but I just don't like the feel of foundation - so when I do wear makeup I usually just do my eyes and wear a little bit of blush. But I would really like to even out my skin tone (I have rather rosey cheeks - esp. in the winter).

Sorry for the novel! I was excited to see a BE thread here!

Yeah I would like to know about this product too. I have red cheeks and I have hormone blotches on my face and I would like to even out my skin tone too. I don't like to wear a long of make up or have it run down my face when I am sweating. I don't know how it works or the tones either. Any info on this product would be greatly appreciated...
