i've actually just started wearing bare minerals also. it does work well too. when you buy a kit, they give you a couple of different shade so it's easy to match it to your skin. i just bought an eyeshadow but haven't used it yet, so i'll see. when i used other foundations i would get this weird texture on my skin from it (i don't know ) but with the bare minelas, it feels good. i'll wear it for awhile longer and see how i like it.

Sometimes some counters have you buy makeup afterwards. MAC's policy is to buy at least $40. And with the other counters your kind of obligated to buy some makeup if they do a full makeover. And you can't go getting a makeover everyday... and maybe some people just don't want to spend $20+ on a freakin eyeshadow...

You're talking to the wrong person here. I am the manager for an Estee Lauder counter. I give those free makeovers.
I just bought two really nice eyeshadows from Sally beauty supply. They are really smooth and multitonal alot like something i'd buy from MAC or sephora but for only 5 bucks. They were called sally girl.
My mom started selling Mary Kay a few months ago so that what I wear mostly. Except for their foundation. I swear by Almay's Skin Stays Clean foundation. About the only drug store brands I've had any luck with are Almay, Sonia Kashuk (Target only), and Max Factor (only good clear mascara I've ever used).
I have offically become a lip gloss junkie, I am forever trying to find a drug store brand lipgloss that has the same viscosity as my favorite deparment store brands, I like a thick gloss that lasts a long time, but alas it dosen't seem like the cheaper brands can quite hack it. Everyone I try gets remanded to my "for work drawer" stuff I can take to work with me and not cry if I loose it (unlike a $12 lipglass) I guess theres just no skimping on some things.
Oh, Has anyone tried dessert beauty yet? it's the line that Jessica Simpson is promoting. I have one of their Lip plumping glosses, it's alot thinner than what I normally wear, very sheer but its pretty, and the tingly feeling is kind of fun it also tastes really good (thats the gimmick, everything tastes like dessert)
) but with the bare minelas, it feels good. i'll wear it for awhile longer and see how i like it.
