I was wondering if anyone else uses Bare Minerals makeup?? I do, and I LOVE it!

Anyone else?? What's your experience with it?

I totally love it. I have Roseaca, and this covers it up better then anything else. My skin seems to like it, no break-outs or anything, and I love how natural it looks.

Ok, so I have a question: I use it and I DO love it. It's so flawless! HOWEVER, when I workout, or get sweaty from being outside, if I have it on, it irritates my face, feels like it's kind of burning....but it never causes redness or anything, and the irritation goes away as soon as I remove it. It also goes away when I stop perspiring, if I'm not somewhere I can take it off. Does anyone else experience this, or am I an oddball?

Well, I don't want to call you an oddball but I have never experience that, but I also have never worn it while exercising...

Well, I would prefer to take it off before I get all sweaty, but with the temps being very near 100, it's hard to even go outside without getting sweaty...and I try to get in a little exercise, even if it's just walking, whenever I can during the day at work. It's just not feasable to remove it and re-apply 4 times a day...

Just wish I knew what caused it, and if there's some kind of lotion or something I can use under it to prevent it. I have NOT tried the skin Rev-er Upper lotion, mostly because it's $21 for 2.3 ozs...not sure if it would be worth it What do you all think?

I have used mineral make up for a while now, and not just Bare Minerals... I get the knock-off brands from eBay (very affordable, but hit and miss with results).

The best off brand that I have had success with is Everyday Minerals Mineral Makeup - Foundation, Eye Shadow, Concealer, Lip Colors, and Blushes by Everyday Minerals ... and I really love eBay for the brushes.

I was so excited about getting it......then I got it and I didnt like it. My skin is very dry and you can see all my pores and any little wrinkle or line on my face. I asked the girls at Sephoria and they said it wasnt meant for dry skin....and they told me to try The Supernatural. I love it...makes me look fresh and flawless.

Hee hee! I have it and liked it, I guess, too. But for me, going from no makeup at all to this was too much of a hassle. It's all I can do to put moisturizer on my face in the morning. :(

But I do like Everyday Minerals, which is what I bought. As far as makeup goes, this powder stuff is the most comfortable thing I've ever tried.

the skin revver upper may help with the irritation...might be worth a try...

What I do when I am going to workout, i just spot touch up my face with the little brush and the foundation.

Also you may try brushing on the mineral veil on first. I also heard to do this if you have oily skin and tend to get shiny later on in the day.

I also tend to have dry skin in some places, so I have to use the Skin Rever uper. It doesn help. I buy it online so they sent me a free one. But, when it finishes, I will definitely be going to buy some more. It does make a difference for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
