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

I have all of those kits except Guilty Pleasures. I did however purchase the Teamed Up Earth Tones eyeshadow kit when i was at Sephora last weekend and I love it! I go back and forth between that set and my shimmer cubes from the body shop every other day

I love the Get Started Eye Kit. The colors are neutral, but they make my eyes really pop. I love them.

I got the Heavenly Face Brush the other day in a kit. It's SO much nicer than the All-Over Face Brush. I think I might need to order another one in case I lose the first one!
