Thanks Teach! I'll have to pay attention early on. By the time it comes on at a decent hour here, it's usually been on already back east! Although midnight is 9pm and that works! (It's the 10am ones that kill me!)

WRONG TIMES ABOVE!!! Sorry -- just double-checked. It's THURSDAY night Midnight (so the "first" minute of Friday, April 27th) when it will be the special value. Friday has three shows: the midnight -2 AM, 10 AM - 1 PM, and then 10PM- midnight. There's another Sat. show from 1-3 PM.

I was digging around the QVC site, and they have the DELUXE size tinted mineral veil. I got the deluxe feather light mineral veil last time, so I've already ordered this. Thank heavens for late birthday money from my parents! :-)

WOW! Great shows the past two days -- lots of fabulous prices and new products. I didn't get the special value (had 3 of the 4 pieces already), but didn't let that stop me. :-) In addition to the deluxe tinted mineral veil, I also had to get more foundation (about out), and then ordered the fruit smoothie eye glimpses. The shades are perfect for my skin tones and look like fun summer colors. I sooooo wanted to get the mini lip guards, but I have two full-sized already, so I passed.

Good thing I kept my birthday money!! It was tons of fun to shop a bit w/o budgeting pennies and trying to decide, "Do I REALLY need this?"

That deluxe tinted minteral veil was a great buy (and yeah, I bought it!). I didn't buy anything else -- there were a couple of kits that looked interesting, but I had most of the pieces in 'em (like the one that had well rested plus the vanilla sugar eye shadow -- and I'm loving that vanilla sugar, btw!). I did buy a couple of quick sticks from their Web site. And one of the items I was interested in was on their Web site, not on the show, and wait listed for at least 45 days!!!! I figured heck with it, I'll go buy individual pieces at Sephora instead.

I've finally started playing around with the eyeliner kit I bought months ago. I've decided I love 'em for a more dressy look -- use the eyeliner dry to smudge under the eye, and wet to line the upper lid.

I dunno if Leslie lost weight, or if it was just the dresses she was wearing. In one of the shows, she kinda looked sick, although it was the last show I think and she could've just been tired.

BTW, I am SOOOO tired of the same models being used! She really needs to start changing it up, and use other women with different complexions. Not a single one of those women has my skin tone or hair color.

My face got burned yesterday from a glycolic peel.

I had to go out this morning so I used a bit of Bare Minerals to try to neutralize the red-- and this stuff is really amazing. It's still reddish but the makeup really is spectacular.

My deluxe tinted mineral veil came today! WOOHOO!!! It is just as sheer as the regular, but it's got a bit of color so it will be perfect for summer.

Yankee - did you use (do you have) the bisque or "well rested"? Both of those could be put on w/a foundation brush and will really cover red well. (I'm a pale-face w/ redness all the time and I use these interchangeably before I even put on foundation.)

What is the difference between the makeup (with SPF) and the bisque?

Bisque actually started out as an eyeshadow. It's lighter w/a pink tone -- and lighter than almost all the foundations (I use "light" and bisque is lighter than that). So many gals used it for concealer and asked for MORE that they started packaging it in the bigger sifters (like a blush size), and most people now use it as concealer. I use mine 1)under the eyes, 2)on my eyelids as base, 3)to cover up two large freckles/age spots, 4) around nose to cover up redness and 5)on lower cheeks to cover up some redness.

If you use bisque wet with the maximum coverage brush, it will hide any spot!

Dip the brush in a bit of water and then dip it into the bisque. Mix it in the lid, and apply!!!

You can foil the glimpse and glimmer shadows that way, too. The new "flaunt" is fantastic when foiled. I also love using pure radiance wet on my eyes - it's just a nice, neutral look. Usually I just foil on the lid to the crease, then brush out the edges (after letting them dry a few seconds) with a lighter color for the upper eyelid to the brow. I'm tellin' ya-- this stuff is sooo much fun to play with! LOL :-)

Thanks Teach! Do you use the warmth? I didn't buy it since I bought the blush, but am curious about how it works.

You should be a paid spokesperson for them!!

I don't use warmth at all. It's way too orange-y for me. I think there are a few here who use it and a few who don't.

I use Glee instead. It's an all over face color. I use it on my forehead and anyplace where the sun might "kiss" my face. Glee is a pink color, and gives me a pleasant "glow". Sometimes I'll use it on my cheeks instead of blush, for a softer tone.

I'm exactly opposite of Costa. I use warmth (and faux tan and the "bare radiance") to add color to my foundation for the summer. Glee is too pink/purple for my skin tones.

With all three of the colors, though, I use VERY little! A tiny bit goes a LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG way. I actually mixed some of the warmth w/the feather mineral veil and it is gorgeous for summer. :-)

Got my "fruit smoothie" eye shadows and love them too. They're much more peachy than many of the colors, so the complement my skin tones. Many of the browns have a purple/mauve undertone that doesn't work as well w/my coloring. These are lighter and will be perfect for summer!

And yup -- my dream job would be to open up a Bare Escentuals boutique. Unfortunately, I live in rural farm country where it would be extremely difficult to find people who could afford the prices....we're the third poorest county in our state. :-( Maybe when I retire I can open a book/bare escentuals combo. :-)

Question.

Does the kabuki brush EVER stop depositing hairs on your face?

Is there a better (non-BE) kabuki brush out there?

It's seriously annoying to get brush hair all over my face and my black shirts...

Benefit's kabuki is incredible!!! I use it with all my mineral makeup, plus it is the best blender for blush.

I got it in May, so prob can't take it back. I do have a backup and will try that one and see if it works.

If not, I may try another brand like Benefit.

Thanks!

Mine sheds a hair here or there, but not enough to be a pain (and they easily brush away with the kabuki!).

Beware cheap kabukis... they WILL shed.

Have you cleaned the brush? With soap and water? That may help.
