Ladies, if you are truly hooked on BE, you'll get a kick out of this.

Yesterday, two co-workers and I went out to lunch. One of the co-workers and I had talked makeup before, and I found out she wears Sheer Cover. So I had been telling her that I was gonna get her converted over to BE.

So after lunch, we go to this new spa that's 5 minutes from work because I told her that they sell BE. Well, the young lady that was helping us was applying the BE (incorrectly, but I digress) and my co-worker INSTANTLY fell in love! This girl ends up getting the starter kit and one of the eye kits and lip liner and something else to the tune of $165.00.

(btw. . . as soon as she got home, she called Sheer Cover and canceled her A/D. We calculated that she was spending approximately $30/mo. on this, and not only did she love BE, but we told her that her costs would be cut considerably because she didn't have to use a lot of BE and it was cheaper.)

So I called her this afternoon to let her know that her timing was perfect for the switchover, because on QVC, BE was on. Why did she already know this? WHY HAD SHE ORDERED MORE BE BEFORE I CALLED HER????

I think I've created a monster. . .

Has anyone tried BE's PrimeTime Eyelid Primer?

Loved the story about the woman you converted to BE, btb!

I understand that it works pretty well. I just purchased the urban decay primer about 3 weeks ago.

And thanks! I can't wait to talk with her again and see the difference in her face on Tuesday.

t*p, I haven't tried the primer because I just bought UDPP (urban decay primer potion) a week ago. LOVE IT, got a bunch of freebies through Sephora and it's about a buck cheaper.

Thanks for the replies... I may try UDPP first and see how that goes.

So far, I'm only using BE for my foundation/ cheek color.

I'm thinking about expanding my "collection" (haha)

If anyone has any feedback on any of these, please let me know:

*Multi-Tasking Minerals -- It seems to be marketed as a concealer... but I thought you could use the foundation as a concealer? Are these ones just better at concealing?

* Featherlight Mineral Veil - I'm kinda bummed I just bought 2 of the regular Mineral Veil at ULTA a few weeks ago because this looks like it could be fun. Has anyone noticed a big difference between the Featherlight and regular?

* Eye shadows -- what is the best way to get started? Would one of the kits be the easiest? Are most of the kits full size shadows?

And just as an FYI - it looks like BE will be back on QVC on Dec. 6th!

Yes, and yes. I own Bisque, Summer Bisque and Well Rested. I love Well Rested, as I have dark eyelids and deal with circles from time to time and it does a great job. I've also used WR to conceal redness on my face and it's great. On days I don't have a lot of time or my skin looks really good, I conceal if needed with my foundation.

The Feather Light has a bit of a sheen, not quite a sparkle like a Gossamer, but just a sheer glow. I prefer Clear Radiance to get that effect over the FL myself. I did mix an eyeshadow sized FLMV into my bucket of Tinted MV to use it up and like that effect.

Kits, kits, kits! I just ordered the Guilty Pleasures (9 total, but they are smaller than the normal shadow pots) and the Liner Quad IV (this is in the iQuad format, a little messy but a great way to try out colors. I highly recommend the following (I have highlighted cocoa/caramel hair, light/medium skin tone and dark brown eyes, if that helps any). I think all of the items in these kits are full sized.

Blendable Eye Camouflage
Pure Moxie kit (Great value!)
Get Started Eyes
