I love the light brown in the wearable browns. But I used it all up, and there ain't nothing even close to light brown in the regular shades!

Don't forget to check e-bay. I've gotten a few things there through seeka75. She's got great selection, reasonable prices (no taxes for me which saves me money from QVC), and I've never had any lost packages.

Hi, everyone. Just finally got home last night after 1 1/2 weeks away. Wanted to say that I am SOLD on the BareMinerals. Been using the light foundation with mineral veil -- haven't had to use the concealer yet. And I bought a few glimmers too but since I've been on the "move" I didn't want to open them so I haven't tried them yet. And Teach, I bought the tan to mix with the light when and if I get any sun on my face. (though I do wear sunscreen) I love it. It feels so light. The only thing is that I still feel like my pores look too visible, but maybe now that I'm not putting anything with talc on/in them and I'm going to continue to get regular facials -- that that all might help. Oh and eta -- the other thing I love is that I don't find I get shiny halfway through the day anymore. I usually get pretty shiny on my forehead and nose when I am in an airplane, and yesterday I noticed that I wasn't nearly as bad as I usually am. YAY!

Yankee, I'm glad you like the BareMinerals. I had problems with large visible pores, too. The facials will probably help, but you might also want to try some Philosophy skin care products. I'm sold on those, too. They have a product called The Present. It absorbs oil to reduce the shine on your skin and minimizes the size of your pores. Philosophy You can also get it at Sephora and QVC.

YAY, Yankee! I'll second Azriel's recommendation of Philosophy, but I have to save pennies to purchase it b/c it's a bit above my budget. QVC had a Philosophy day just last week, so I spent my "musical money" on a HUGE (32 oz) Purity cleanser. WOOHOO! (Also got the HUGE cinnamon buns shower gel, but that has nothing to do w/the face! LOL)

Thanks for the suggestion for Philosophy. I'm actually using some products under the direction of my facialist (whom I'm seeing again today) -- Dermalogica Active Moist for the day, and a heavier cream at night with a glycolic % specifically for my pores. I'm definitely seeing some improvements with this treatment, so for now I'm going to stick with it. But I did go and look at The Present on the Philosophy website. Thanks!

a primer would help too. Smashbox and Laura Mercier have good ones, so does Nars.

Philosophy's "Present Skin Perfector" is a type of primer --it's clear, smooths out pores and is part of their "no makeup needed" line. I haven't tried it (my problem is uneven skin -- so summer bisque and well-rested are my best friends), but it did amazing things to the model's face on QVC. Sorta' like a liquid mineral veil before foundation idea.

Texannie and all, I already use the Laura Mercier oil free primer. Thanks, though. Honestly, I'm happy with the cleanser, moisturizers, primer and makeup. I just wish my darn pores would be smaller!

I think Amazon had it, Abby. I've got a friend at school who's trying the skin revival treatment (BE). I don't know if she's bought it yet, but I know she wants to. I'll ask on Monday. It was too expensive for me, too - but it certainly looks like a great product.

Abby, I bought the Rare Minerals and have been using it for 2 weeks now. My skin does feel much softer so far and it is so easy to use. I hope that after 8 weeks that I can tell a difference since it claims to reduce pore size by 57%. I love the BM makeup and I use Clinique's Pore Minimizer on my face before I put on the BM. It really helps fill in the pores and make them less noticeable.

I know am not wearing the product correctly but I love wearing my regular liquid base and finishing with mineral veil. yesterday I didnt use my liquid and did as directed w/the other powder and when i first put it on I didnt like it but 2 hrs later I looked in the mirror and thought 'wow, this looks good now' LOL I went on their site to just buy mineral veil and couldnt find an area to buy just 1 thing. I joined the club and they were going to send stuff I still have so I extended the delivery another 2 mo but I am going to need veil before then anyone know where i can just buy veil? I guess I can go to Sephora for it right?

Pamy, you can buy all the Bare Minerals products at Sephora. Many of 'em are also available on QVC's Web site (for much the same price). If you know what you want (in your case, mineral veil), it's a lot easier to do it mail order. If you're not sure about colors, be sure to pop in to a shop somewhere. There are also many eBay sellers who sell the BE product line. Be sure to buy from a reputable seller, and be sure the product is brand new and unopened. (Of course, to check out colors, many of 'em break up a jar in sterile conditions, and sometimes I'll try a new eye color that way.)

LOL Annie! I swear I cannot walk past that store in Fashion Valley without saying "Oh, I've just got to pop in here for a second" and then an hour later, sheepishly, try to connect back up with whomever I went to the mall with!

SHOW ALERT!!!BE will be the special value of the day this Friday night at 12:00 AM (Friday going into Saturday, not Thurs. going into Friday). There will be four shows: Midnight - 2:00 AM, 10 AM - Noon, 1-3:00 PM and 10:00- Midnight. Usually this is the show where they have the HUGE bottle of faux tan, so if you like it, I'd keep an eye open.
