I have fallen madly in love with the "Well Rested" - it literally took 5 years off my eyes this morning! Woohoo!!

I did not put in under my eyes, just the upper lids and brow area. I do find that the BM does accentuate my undereye wrinkles, so I just slap on some tinted moisturizer there and don't powder that area.

I use a really good moisturizer, so maybe that has something to do with it? And I don't use it under the entire eye area. I sweep it across the lid, and then in both the inner and outer corners.

I have dark circles, so I use it under my eyes, but I don't put lotion there, and I'm very lucky in the genetics department and have few wrinkles. I also put my lotion on at least 5 minutes before I apply any BE product to make sure it's "dried."

OK, I am a serious sucker for this stuff. I just stayed up and on the phone long enuf to order today's special value (being on the west coast, half the time when I try to get a BE special value, it's already sold out!). Anyways, today's value is awesome!!! Fifty bucks and you get all this!! Two 0.06 oz bareMinerals foundations 0.03 blush in frisky (peach passion)--new color Two 0.02 oz bareMinerals glimpse eye shadows in pure joy (peach) and bravo (pewter)--new colors 0.15 oz buxom lips in bianca (peach)--new color Face brush with custom handle Blush brush with custom handle--new Eye buki brush with custom handle--new Cosmetic bag--new Heck, the foundations alone are close to that! And the new brushes are a cool green. Dang. I am cracking myself up. I love this stuff! (And I've turned my mom on to it now, too. So that's three people who are following the BE way! Hehehe!)

I resisted - I've got the third installment of the "peacock" collection coming this week, but I tell you, it was a close call. If it had had other colors instead of foundation, I think I would have ordered it (ON EASY PAY NO LESS!) and then sent the other one back. However, I have enough foundation to last me 6 months, and in the summer, I only use tinted mineral veil anyway. I did order the lippies (single ones w/buff color) since they are discontinuing them. I LOVE those little lip things, so I wanted to stock up. However, there are still two more shows to get through. DH and I did a new budget this week, so I'm stuck -- Must. Resist. BE. **sob**

I'm almost out of the medium (for winter) anyways, so figured I'd just stock up on the foundation now. With the brushes and eye colors, it was a definite steal. Still not sure about that blush on my skin tone, but we'll see. I've resisted everything else so far, though. Including the Nude Beach eye collection, which I'm drooling over!

Uh oh-- got home tonight, watched the TIVO versions and gave in -- had to have that new Faux Tax moisturizer! Usually I mix the faux tan w/my regular lotion and can only use it a couple times a week or it makes my dark spots come out. This looks like the perfect answer!

LOL Teach! Hard to resist sometimes, yes? And I've got another convert! My mother! I tried a bit on her while I was visiting last weekend, and she really liked it. They are in Colorado Springs (out in the prairie) and it's a bit of a schlep to get to the Ulta (like almost an hour's drive). But she needed to go to find out what her foundation colors would be. Now I can order stuff and have it sent to her (either from QVC if the price is good, or from Sephora). She's sitting in her living room surrounded by jars and brushes! I think she's gonna love this stuff, too!

Converting the doubters is fun, isn't it? I'll have to e-mail my "convert" tomorrow when she's back at work to see if she picked up anything. I got my mom a "big" size of the feather light mineral veil...she's been wanting some, but QVC only offers it w/the brush. Seeka had some, so I got it for her birthday which is in about a month. Such an easy way to "find" gifts when the moms are on board, too!

Now that my mother's tried it, and likes it, I can do the same thing. Like order the deluxe mineral veil when it's oh and have 'em ship it to her. She got the starter kit, well-rested and a brush, clear radiance, and a couple of eye shadows (glimpses, I think). And said "I can't believe I have anything on!" Even her hubby thinks she looks better. (She's been pretty ill, and pretty pale, and the BE makes her look a lot more healthy!) I bought 10 little plastic containers from Seeka, so I can put some of what I use in 'em and send 'em to her to see if she likes the colors.

Okay, y'all convinced me. I ordered my first set and got it the other day. Haven't had a chance to try it yet...I need to watch the DVD and experiment a little. Hopefully I'll have the time tomorrow, so I'll be able to wear it when I go back to work on Tuesday. Otherwise, it may just have to wait until after my move. I will let you guys know how it turns out!

Just be patient. It'll take you a bit longer at first, until you get used to it. Once you're used to it, I literally take only five minutes (plus mascara, which I do after I blow dry my hair). And I use: foundation mineral veil all over face color (Glee) blush Well Rested eye shadows Two eye shadows Liner shadow (used to line and contour) Quick stick Buxum lip gloss (eyebrow pencil, not BE) (one other gold eye pencil not BE) (mascara, not BE) My mom is now totally used to putting the makeup on and says she LOVES it. She loves how everything stays put, including her eyebrows. Now that she's figured out how to use it, she's tossed out all her old makeup products. I just ordered her an iQuad so she'll have some eye shadows to try. And I bought 10 little plastic jars from Seeka on eBay to send some samples of the colors I usee so she can try 'em and see what colors she likes. Hehehe... another convert!

If you tell them, they will come. LOL Mine takes about 7 minutes & for summer I use: Well Rested (as concealer) Faux Tan- the powder (as foundation) Tinted mineral Veil Bare Radiance Eye liner Eyebrow color & gel 3-4 colors of eye shadow (neutral colors, but layers) Feather light mineral veil(under eyes, along cheekbones and down nose) Mascara Too funny -- if I'd put that much of anything else on my face, I'd look like a CLOWN! However, the colors blend so well w/BE that it just looks healthy & natural.

My mom -- who last month when I first bought her the BE foundation said she was too worried that it wouldn't give her enough coverage -- is now a convert. And she looks great. She has hot sweats caused by Tamoxifen, and is so impressed how well the makeup stays put and helps to cut the shine.

LOL Teach! You're right... if I used that much makeup of any other brand, I'd look awful! My mom is also impressed with how well the foundation color matches. She says that she's bought bottles and bottles of various different brands and colors in the past couple of years and they all look terrible. She's been really sick and she thinks the BE really looks natural on her. Yanks, that's good to know. I've not hit the menopause stage, but it's good to know the stuff stays put during hot flashes! So now... hmmm... who ELSE can I convert?

Okay, I've been using mine for about a week and I'm pretty happy with it. Although I just discovered yesterday I've been applying it incorrectly. LOL. I wanted to use it last Monday and didn't have time to watch the instructional disc. But I've seen the infomercial enough times that I "knew" what to do. Well, I knew the "swirl, tap, buff" thing, but I was doing all that on my face. Hee! And wondering why the heck I needed to do all that to apply it, when just the buffing on the face seemed like enough. So, of course, I saw the commercial a couple of days ago and realized that swirl & tap are pre-face, then you do just buff it on. Felt like a real dummy, so of course I had to come in here and post it so you'd all know how dim I can be! But, anyhoo, the very first day there was a noticeable difference...I had this big red spot on my nose and with the BE you couldn't even tell (my aunt even remarked on that). What I've noticed is that when I first apply it, I don't really see much difference, but after a few minutes it really looks good. Don't know why on that one, is it the same with everyone? For now, I just have the foundation basics, but someday when I have money again (moving is expensive!) I'd like to get some eye shadow, too.

My mother is absolutely LOVING this stuff. She pretty much calls me every day to tell me so. Too funny! I bought some small empty plastic jars and sent her samples of some of the eye shadows and blushes I use. She's got much the same coloring as me (I'm just more tan), so the same tones work well for her. She's having a BLAST playing with the eye shadows... using 'em wet, using 'em wet for liners... Mixing and matching and buffing!

I am afraid the shadows will flake over my face, how do you control the powder on your lids?
