That is what I am told and keep thinking about checking it out but haven't yet. I also love it and to be sure as I felt like I could not see a difference, I did one side of my face with it and one with my "old" Clinique make-up and there was a HUGE difference. So that sold me. It lasts longer and I think it does work out to be about as much as Clinique or the other ones and it is worth it to me as I get older. But I did hear it was being sold at Nordstrom's and so that might help with the shipping as that is what adds to it.

Bare Minerals
Anyone use Bare Minerals makeup? If so, how do you like it? I was thinking of trying it.

I started using Bare Minerals awhile back but they are so expensive. I found a dealer who, with her mother (an RN) make their own mineral products for a fraction the cost of Bare Minerals. The quality is even better than the original. They have been supplying high-end stores for years. You will find the daughter on eBay. Her seller name is snowmandce. You can buy them either in little pots or (what I do) is buy them in baggies and put them in the containers I also buy on ebay from CalBoy who sells the little acrylic pots very inexpensively. Diane snowman dce) will make up any color kit that you want!! All of her colors are on her mother's web site which is Sweetscents.com. Diane sells to many wholesalers. Check this out and read her feedback comments. I know you will be pleased! lynn

For those of you who like using the minerals, see my post under Bare Minerals down a page or two.

Been using for years and love. Would never use anything else, seriously. I usually get from QVC.com. Their prices are pretty good and often they have specials. Tip--Bisque is the best concealer ever. Highly recommend. I will say it does take a few times applying to get used to it. At first, it seems like you put too much on. You only really need a tiny bit. It lasts forever, too.

If you ask, Bare Minerals to extend the time for shipment, they will - also you can get only 1 base color, rather than the 2 - I've been buying it through ebay (careful about quantity - lots of 'samples) - & QVC carries it also at about the same price as the company, but shipping is cheaper. good luck
My Grandmother uses Bare Minerals
She is 75 and has never looked better. Her skin glows. It's crazy. That's my next purchase after my other things run out!
Bare Minerals, and I love it. sm
I purchased Bare Minerals from an infomercial. When you're on the phone, they offer you things to add to the basic package. It ended up costing me $160.00, so it is pretty expensive. Plus they enroll you to receive a new set every 2 months or so. Working at home, I don't use enough make where I would go through it that fast, so I cancelled after my first shipment. It is pretty expensive, but I really like the makeup. I've even done my teenage daughter's makeup on special occasions. She has acne, and it really covers well. I just wish there was a way of buying it where it wasn't so expensive.
My mom has used MetroGel and also loves Bare Minerals makeup-nm

...and you don't have to sign up for a makeup "club," or anything. I totally agree with you that this makeup is great for all the basic purposes (coverage, lasting), but their slogan is "Makeup so healthy you can sleep in it." There is a delay in time between when you can apply your powder after moisturizer, but it is really worth it.
To go with your powder I recommend the "pump brush" offered at some of the cosmetic online stores. You fill the handle with your powder mixture (I mix two different powders, changing it up or down according to how much sun I've been getting) and the pump brush will distribute some to the bristles, tap and have at it! This is great for carrying it with you to minimize the loss into the lining of your handbag!
I cannot recommend Bare Minerals enough. I used to be a MAC convert, and have tried everything from Chanel to Maybelline--this product does not disappoint.

Working at home carries special challenges sm
I take exception to the person who said you must never have worked outside of your home. Phooey!
When you work outside the house...you have a babysitter, you put on decent clothing, you leave the house. You spend your day primarily with other adults. You have to limit your personal calls. Someone else provides your workspace, your desk, your pencils for goodness sake. Your coworkers have their own supplies too. Someone else outlines the course of your day and what you will do in it. You probably have a steady task assigned to you and you know what it is. Yes, you go home to housework, but it is what you left that morning, it didn't breed while you were gone.
When you work at home, your "office space" may be a loose term. Your coworkers are children, grandchildren and anyone else who feels entitled to be there. Your "coworkers" help themselves to your office supplies. Because you are an MT, no one assigns you tasks that are consistent. No one can know from day to day how much work will be there to be done, who will be dictating it, how long it will be, nor how long it will take to complete. You will do this in a vacuum to a great extent and not have any other adults to interact with. Because you are at home, dishes and laundry breed and multiply during your work day.
Now add to this that no one, other than your fellow MTs, have the slightest idea what you do or what it takes to get it done. They have seen those incredibly imbecilic ads on TV and, as they have no other frame of reference, expect this to be YOU. They don't seem to connect that when your hands are not on the keyboard, you are not making any money. They don't get that you can't talk AND listen AND type all at the same time. Your average human can't talk, listen and type at the same time, and goodness knows that they usually can't walk and chew gum at the same time...but you are an MT and they A$$ume you can because working at home has imbued you with superhuman powers.
Remember that old old Geritol commercial? You do so much for so many...and while your problem probably isn't constipation, you are suffering. We are women and somehow we expect a lot from ourselves, but I am telling you, others expect even more. In the end, what really gets juggled out of the equation is time for oneself to do as one pleases...bubble bath, coffee out of the house and ALONE, time for a friend, for a walk, for a bit of relaxation that really would add to quality of lives and make us feel more adequate for the tasks of life and work.
I know that when my kids were growing up I had to set limits about their mess, their noise and their pestering of the mama while she was working. In exasperation one afternoon I shouted at them: Clean the house!!!! See these hands? They feed you, they clothe you, and they do it at the keyboard. I make $20 an hour (it has been a while) and every time you interrupt me, it means I don't make the money for something YOU WANT. If I clean the house, every hour I spend costs YOU $20 AND something you think you need or want. By helping out, you literally put money in all our pockets. By giving me the time and the space and the quiet and the lack of interruptions to work, you are literally putting more money in our pockets. So, kiddos, what will it be?
You know, after that I rarely loaded the dishwasher, never had to clean a floor again, vacuum...all sorts of stuff. My chore was the laundry and I could do that on my MT breaks. If they started to fall off a bit, I would show them my hands and say something like "my time is your money" and they were back on task. I was a single parent for years and MT supported us, and more handsomely when they got the picture.
Sally's? Wow, I would never have guessed. JCPenny carries some at their jewelry counter as well

QVC for Bare Escentuals
Try QVC.com first.. I believe they sell it a little cheaper. I love the Rever-upper and their powder makeup is awesome.

Bare amount of work for two days. They say the server is down.
Thank goodness I have a PT job or I'd be a mental case. This is not a good time to not be making an income, when the economy is in such a vulnerable state. I have just disconnected my second telephone line. Now, am going to buy a cord of wood to keep warm this winter as I doubt I'll be able to heat the house with natural gas from what they are describing the bills to be like ($800-$1000 per month).
Over 100. Burnt my bare feet on concrete. Plants are dying.
