Thanks dlg, I'll do that. I'm so excited, I just took off my regular foundation now and I notice I tend to get some bumps under my eyes after using it, it's becoming really irritating, I'm not sure whether it's the foundation or the makeup remover (I noticed bareminerals has makeup remover too, maybe it's gentler)

It's so weird, I placed two orders online for items and each time an error came up in the past two days, I always feel when something like that happens it's for a reason, now I'm glad it happened since I can hopefully go to Sephoras and try the colours and hopefully purchase some eyeliner from the bareminerals line.
 
To be honest, I've used BE's makeup remover. It was my first eye make up remover and I didn't like it. It took me like 4 or 5 cotton balls to get all of my make up off.

Right now, I'm using Clinique and once all that is gone I'll use lancome. A lot of girls on the forum recommend lancome.
 
I'm definately going to try out Everyday minerals as soon as my money transfer hits the paypal account.

Toyday I'm hoping to try BE, at least to get a foundation and eyeliner. If you say the makeup remover isn't that great then I probably won't waste my money, how is lancome or clinique, aren't they harsh?
At the moment I'm using the body shops chamomile liquid makeup remover or wet sheets and it still feels kind of harsh.

I guess if the makeup is more natural then I wouldn't worry about trying to scrub it off.
 
Well I went to Sephoras today and I GOT the kit!! I'm so excited!

I picked up a few eyeshadows as well (3 shades, ohhh it was so hard to choose since they have so many lovely colours!! Anyway I settled on a black which can be used as an eyeliner, as well as a browner matte tone and a pinkish sparkly one)

Also got the iQuad which has some lovely colours in there, and it's packaged so nicely.

It was so fun and the SA was so nice explaining everything for me and finding the right tone of foundation that matched my skin colour (we went with a more pinkish one then she found out she ran out of it so we went with a paler one and it actually looked even better)

She also recommended a makeup remover called CAUDALIE which she said was really gentle for face and eyes.


I will upload some photos that I took and then post them, the price was also really good, didn't go above $230 Canadian.
 
Fabulous starter kit Miss 2 A!! :nuts:

I have no experience with the eye shadows but would love to hear your take on their lasting power - as well as, ease of applcation.
 
Well about ease of application I can sure answer that regarding the eyeshadow - the brown earthy tone you see in the picture looked great, it was pearly but not to shiney and not really sparkly (though they all have a bit of a sheen since they're minerals) .. it went on so nice and smooth (even with my finger) and generally it is lighter once you spread it around on your eyelid.

As for long lasting, I just removed mine now (went off nicely with the new makeup remover) tomorrow I'm going to apply some from the morning and see how it goes, today I only did one eye lol.
 
Moody,

It does have a sheen to it, there were very few that were almost matte, and I definately picked those out (I'm not into sparkle, I really like a matte look)

I'll try to put some of the more matte colours on my skin and see if I can get a good picture tomorrow.
The best thing to do is go to the store and try them, the browns and blacks were definately the most matte, there were some beige and light cream colours as well that didn't look too shiny.
 
Ive been thinking about swithing foundations.Shiseido to bare minerals,im just afraid of the change picking the wrong color and what not. Why does it have to be soo hard picking the right color?
