I just bought a starter kit at Ulta that has just the face powders and the mineral veil and I am SO impressed. you only need to use a tiny bit to get a flawless soft look.
Just wondering if anyone else uses this stuff and what you think about it.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to be the cosmetic manager at Ulta in Patchouge. I would recommend watching the video. It helps a lot. There is also a trick that isn't on the video, put a little minderal veil on first and then your foundation and finish up with the veil. Putting it on first fills and large/open pores and makes it look smoother.
There is also a product by Too Faced Cosmetics, I forget the name, but if you ask at Ulta I know that they will know, it looks like an eyeliner but the liquid inside is clear. You dip it into any color of the Bare Escentuals eye shadows and it makes it like a water proof eyeline and it makes the colors stand out more. It looks awesome and you get to make the most unique colored eye liners ever.
LOVE LOVE LOVE can't even say enough good things about it!

I almost bought the starter kit today! They were having some great sales there. There's also a holiday kit.
Will the sample sizes last a while? It doesn't look like much in any of the pots, and is kind of expensive.
The full sized ones will last almost 6 months except the first time you buy it. It takes some time to get used to but once you are used to it, they last longer. You will not waste as much when you use it correctly.
The starter kit will last two /three months. They are deep pots. Just swirl your brush in it, and tap it off really good on the side of the pot so you don't lose the excess.
It is well worth the money.

thanks for the tips the store in Patchogue is where I bought the kit.
I want to go back over the weekend and get the eye shadows.
the woman who did my makeup for my wedding used mineral makeup (Jane Iredale) and I just loved the flawless softness of the makeup. this stuff seems to be the same quality. now if I could only take some lessons...
The Jane minerals are of much higher quality and about 3-4x the price at least!! However, the ones you purchased are amazing. You should seriously watch the video.
Also, tap a bit of the eye shadow on to the back of your hand with your brush. Use your hand like an artist uses a palette. It works great. The more you blend the minerals the better they look. Be careful not to use too much or it looks cakey. Be careful to moisturize or, again, you will look cakey.
Don't be afraid of radical colors with the minerals that you would otherwise stray from because you can make it soft or dramatic in the minerals.
Anything else that pops up be sure to FM me, I'll give you more mini-lessons

I also just bought it and I LOVE it. It doesn't cover all my breakouts/rosacea but I look 10 times better than without!
I bought the light kit, I'm using the fairly light, and the light seems a tad too dark for me.

you can't buy Jane Iredale makeup in stores. I checked out their website and it's only sold in specific places like specialty salons and from private dealers. I did however find it on eBay. I am wondering if I should buy some from there.
is Jane Iredale really that much better? do you know why?

Re: Bare Escentuals
just found this interesting tid bit about Jane Iredale makeup
Celebrities who use Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup Angela Bassett Debra Messing
Victoria Beckham Gabrielle Reece
Juliette Binoche Julia Roberts
Sandra Bullock Meg Ryan
First Lady Laura Bush Renee Zellweger
Naomi Campbell Cast of “Six Feet Under”
Catherine Deneuve Cast of “West Wing”
Melissa Gilbert Cast of “As the World Turns”
Daryl Hannah Cast of “General Hospital”
Jennifer Love Hewitt Cast of “Young and the Restless”
Nicky Hilton Cast of “8 Simple Rules” Paris Hilton Cast of “Town Haul” Diane Lane Cast of “Law & Order” Madonna
Yes it is much better. It covers better and I don't know really how to explain it but they are. However, you can't just get them, as you said, so you will have to either juse Bare Minerals or do some searching and I am not sure that I would trust ebay for this.

Re: Bare Escentuals
If Bare Escentuals does not cover all blemishes, do you use a concealer on top of it?
