PLEASE report back and let us know how it works. I have been looking at that and wanting to try it, but I kinda put my MAC foundation down for Bare Escentuals.

The first time I washed my skin with their Deep Cleansing Oil I ran around having everyone feel my skin - it felt that good, even before moisturizing (I have a thyroid problem, so dry skin is an issue). I get compliments on my complexion all the time (I'm 43!)
My 17 yr. old daughter went from Proactive to DHC - now has FANTASTIC looking skin.
I have yet to try their make-up, though - I still have too much of everything else.

I love the DHC Velvet Skin Coat- before I would put on makeup in the morning and by the time I came home at night it looked like I didn't put any on- but with the skin coat it seems to "stay put" much better.

I had a sample of the Smashbox primer, too, and if anything it made the shine worse.

Unfortunately, I am no longer feeling the love for the foundation I bought a few weeks ago. Boo.

I love how Primer works with my skin and make up. I use The Present by Philosophy. I just got a free sample of Prime Time Primer from Bare Minerals today with my latest sephora shipment so I plan on trying that tomorrow. If make up lasts me all day through work then to me it's an awesome product!

Does this actually come out of the can like a mist? I use to use a foundation from Lancome that had a pump, but it didnt come out in a mist.

I recently bought the Diorshow Blackout mascara and it is absolutely amazing. I was loyal to Benefit Badgal Lash mascara for years, so I was hesitant to try something new, but I'm so glad I did.

Have you tried the MAC website? You can make purchases there. A lot of times too if you are on their email list you can get free shipping.

I just got my order in from Sephora:
Smashbox O glow-- seems really cool! I love the color it produces on my face!

Becca Beach Tint-- the color is gorgeous and rich, yet really natural looking. It doesn't feel like other "all day" lip color either. I don't like those because they are gunky.

I need to get some input, per my dermatologist, on foundations with SPF, as well as a good skin lotion/moisturizer with SPF as well.

Suggestions, anyone?

cuteASAbug · #**147** 07-03-2007, 09:36 AM

I don't wear foundation a lot so I can't help you there, but a great moisturizer with SPF is Philosophy's Pigment of Your Imagination. If you're looking for a tinted moisturizer that has SPF, whatever you do, don't get BalmShelter by TheBalm. I ordered it from Sephora and had to return it becuase it was so thick and oily that I felt like I was smearing paint spackle all over my face.

Still BLUTANG · #**148** 07-03-2007, 09:53 AM

moisturizer with SPF: i swear by dramitcally different moisturizer by clinique. the gel works well with my oily skin. i know they also make it in a lotion, so that would go well with people with normal skin.

update on studio mist: i ordered some from the website, but then sunday i trekked out to georgetown to go to the mac store to make sure this product was something i wanted. i LOVED it. you spray it on a foundation brush then apply to the skin. it goes on damp then dries in a couple of minutes. it is light and non-smeary. it evened out my skin tone, it was more like a tinted moisturizer than an actual foundation. it will be great for me during the summer - not too heavy. did i mention i LOVED it? in addition to getting the one frome online, i bought another in the store. yeah! (note: i normally wear nw45. "deep dark" matched perfectly.)

Bare Minerals has an SPF 15 in all of their foundations and a 20 SPF in a few of their concealers. Bare Minerals also has the skin cancer foundation seal of approval.

Philosophy has Pigment of your Imagination which is a tinted moisturizer. I just ordered some to try and it should be here by the end of the week.

Clarins also makes some great moisturizers for the face that contain sunscreen. Their sun care line is also great to use as a moisturizer.

Awwww, dangit! Now I gotta go try it. . . I have some MAC (that I haven't been wearing) and as of late I've been doing the Bare Minerals thing, now you're gonna make me try this stuff! But there's no rule that you can't have two different foundations, right? btw, my studio Fix shade is NW45 as well.
