You should clean your makeup brushes regularly (once per week) 
Most websites say powder is good for about 2 yrs.

after some more googling, I've read that mineral makeup doesn't "go bad" because it's basically rocks... and rocks can't "go bad"... plus there is nowhere there for bacteria to hang out and grow... also there aren't any fillers or synthetic dyes....
that rule about 2 years for powder I think is for makeup-y powders with preservatives and not necessarily mineral makeup

Does everyone but me do this regularly? I only have one brush which I use for powdered foundation AND blush, and I don't clean that often at ALL.
Part of it is I'm not sure how well my brush would stand up to frequent cleaning like that. I have a Sonia Kashuk brush from Target. (When I can afford it, I plan to go invest in a really nice brush from Sephora.) (Have you SEEN how expensive those are?!)

Nope, you're not alone as far as cleaning the brushes go. I think I've also heard someone mention that Leslie Blodgett doesn't clean hers frequently either (but I'm not saying that's right, just mentioning it). Also, as far as dipping your brushes into the makeup jar, I tap some in the lid and use the lid instead so my brushes are not in the jar itself. I've had my current jar of BE foundation for 2 years this month.

Didn't realize it had been so long since anyone posted in this thread.
Who has tried Matte? How do you like it? Also, has anyone tried lip rev-er upper? Bought some but thinking about taking it back. It looks like the MAC prep and prime (or whatever it's called ) that I bought a few years back that did nothing for me.

I've tried matte. LOVE the container, but need lots of hydrating MV on top because I'm a drier skin type. Hopefully they'll put the original foundation, face colors, radiances, etc into the new container down the road.
Anyone using the Flawless Definition mascara? I was using the Buxom but got the new mascara in the Sea Yourself kit. Fantastic stuff!

I have more oily skin so I'm looking forward to trying the matte. I want to try the flawless definition mascara, and the new eye lining tutorial kit.
Has anyone tried the Oil Control Prime Time? What about the eye rever-upper?

No on the Oil Control Prime Time, not surprisingly.
Yes on the eye rever-upper. Love it, it's light and goes on great under or over makeup. I'm really eager to try the RM eye creme when it finally is available.
