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.

Ugh! I am so angry with myself!!

Yesterday at work, I checked my personal email and saw an update from Sephora. THey had a limited about of a new item "Radiance Rocks" or something like that. Looked pretty cool, and it was only $29ish. I didn't buy it b/c I figured I could order it when I got home but it was all sold out by then.

I think it's going to launch later though.

I'm almost out of foundation, so I'm def. going to try the Matte foundation. I have combination skin, but it's more on the oily side.

I haven't tried the Oil Control Prime Time, but I'm interested... I think I remember it doesn't have silicon in it.

I got that same email from Sephora about Radiance Rocks. I think it looks pretty cool too!

I ordered mine when Leslie was on QVC a few weeks ago. Got it last week. I hear that it's really, really good. I'll let you all know.

If you can find someplace that has samples, do that first. Some women aren't that thrilled with it because they say they have to apply more; others really like it because it doesn't give them the "itchies". I haven't had a problem with it. I need to give myself more time to get used to it since I'm so used to the original formula. I don't have to go back and wipe the oil slick off my face though.

I figure since I have the matte, I won't bother with the OCPT. But have any of you added PT to your foundation instead of applying it to your face first? I like the look. Haven't tried it with matte, though.

I didnt know you could apply it to your foundation. Do you just mix it up in the lid?

I am wondering about the bareVitamins for the face. In a couple of weeks i should be out of my daytime moisturizer (that I use for spring, summer, fall) and will be looking for a new very light moisturizer but also has some anti-aging properties like the barevitamins is supposed to have. I am also wondering if you can apply prime time over top of that as well.

That's exactly what I did. The usual amount of foundation that you would do, and just a drop of PT. Swirl, tap and buff! To me, I looked more "made up" so to speak. The last time I really did it, I was at an outdoor HS graduation at the end of May. The heavens opened up. But my face was still gorgeous. Cleaned out my car that afternoon in the hell-like temperatures. Makeup was still on. Sweated like crazy. Came back in the house and was hot, sticky and gritty; I was still so cute, I didn't want to wash my face, but I did. I don't normally apply it like that, but I did that day. I think it may make the matte TOO matte if applied like that. I'll have to try it and see.

LAblonde, I've heard about EDM, but haven't been enticed to try it. As a woman of color, I don't feel like trying 20 different colors to try to match. I've also heard your complaint that EDM doesn't go on as well as BE. My foundation has lasted forever (probably because I don't use it every day) so for as long as I've had it, the $25 was a small price to pay. I have, however, thought about trying Meow cosmetics.

They are making an eye cream?!?!?!? I LOVE the night time treatment!
