Hi everyone! Well I think I am back among the living...yeaaaaaa!!! I have a

lot of catching up to do, I see. Thought I'd start here, before I left for

the soup kitchen...

Yes, it takes VERY LITTE of the foundation powder. And if you do any

concealing before, that as well takes very little and you don't buff it in like

you

do when you're applying the foundation. It kinda works like magic, in that

it will just be OK. I doubt the mineral veil is turning you orange, it has

NO color to it. I'm not real sure what to say about that, I've never had an

orange problem... Could be just the wrong color for you? What did you end up

getting? I don't use the BM blush either, so can't comment on that one

either... Just a thought here, are you calling the 'warmth', blush? Unless

you

ordered a blush color separate, it doesn't come in the kit. If that is what

you are meaning, my guess is that you are using way to much of it and that's

what's giving you the orange coloring. With the warmth, you even use LESS

than with the foundation! I wouldn't be surprised if you are using to much

color too, just cuz we're all used to having to almost spackle on liquid and

it's hard to imagine not having to use much of the BM. I hope this gives you

some help. I truly think, once you get it down, you'll love it. Just takes

a little time and a light hand...

,

I've been experimenting with the ME makeup over the weekend, and what I've found

so far....

1. I now pat my face, so that there is absolutely no greasy/oily feeling, before

I start with the makeup.

2. I use very, very little of the powder (in fact, I used a tiny bit of

concealed on the blotches (scars from a mole removal) on the side of my face,

seems to work quite well))

3. I use an extremely tiny amount of the blush (I think this is where a lot of

the oranginess was coming from)

Last night I didn't seem overly orange when getting ready for bed -- so maybe

it's just getting used to using a lot less foundation? I wonder if the finishing

powder is a culprit in the picture too -- I do puff a good bit onto my face --

and maybe I'll need to wipe it off when I get home from work??????

But I do like the " light " feel that I have -- my previous foundation got onto

everything (even though it was rub-off proof) -- you wouldn't want to see my

phones!

Anyway, I plan to keep working at it....

Re: Mineral Essence Makeup

Bonnie, My skin gets orangy as the day progresses too.

I hear you on the glasses too, I've been legally " blind " my whole life. Can't

see the big E on the chart. It sure is nice to have glasses now that are

thinner and not like bottle caps!!

[Guest guest]

1 x Medium Foundation Collection

Select Your Face Color- Blush: Demure

Select your Foundation Color:- M 2

Select your Second Foundation:- M 3

also the finish powder and 3 brushes came with the kit -- I have the feeling

that the Blush (Demure) is much too dark for me -- live and learn, sighhhhhhhh.

I think it's looking better today, at least I don't feel like I need to scrub my

face! I did put a really tiny amount of the blush/warmth stuff on my cheeks, see

what it looks like tonight. And I wonder if the coconut oil (that I use for

moisturizer) wasn't interfering, I was so used to needing it to feel a bit

" greasy " before I put on my old foundation -- this morning I patted my face

until it felt " clean " ....

How do you get your lipstick to look " right " ? I am so used to applying it over

foundation, the colors are looking a lot different now -- and the corners of my

mouth look " unmade " ?????

Thanks, Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, Do you use lip liner? I do and fill in my lips with it

before I put my lipstick on it. I also use the cover stick on my more

outstanding red spots. :-) Connie

hmmm -- no, but I do have a lip liner pencil -- just didn't think to use it!?

will try it tomorrow.

What is your cover stick? I used a bit of concealer (left over from at least 5

I use cover girl stick . I have used all the expensive ones and it

works better, go figure! If I use too much of BM it makes my face burn

and tingle, so that helps me from putting too much on. With your

sensitive skin Bonne, you should be careful too. Connie :-)

thanks, Connie, I'll look for the cover girl one -- currently I have a very old

tube of Clinique (which I haven't used for perhaps 8-10 years?), so I have the

feeling it could be spoiled and give me more problems than it's worth! (I seldom

throw anything away.....)

Wouldn't it be nice to have the beautiful skins that we had back as children --

and which we didn't appreciate! -- instead of all the " adult " problems!

Yes it would, and I just slopped my cheap make-up on and went down the

road and didn't worry about it. Although I did start using Oil of Olay

in my early 20's. I can tell such a difference in my complexion when I

do my LL, can you? Earlier everyone was taking about their eyes and I

can tell a big difference in mine too. So much better! Didn't you say

something the other day about using hoodin for weight loss? Can you

tell me something about it? And do you use anything else? you have

had such great results!! Such an inspiration ( and too)! Connie

Connie,

I used a natural appetite suppressant (hoodia gordonii -- the brand I used was

Desert Burn) when I lost my weight this past spring. It seems to work for many

people (judging by the forums) but not for everyone. I also low-carb (tweaked to

what I consider a healthy diet -- I eat a lot of salads, fresh fruits and

vegetables, little fat, a variety of meats, and some whole grains). And of

course, I do my LifeLift breaths/exercises each and every day! I really think

everything was synergistic....

I think that everything we do is a combination of efforts -- LL would likely not

do a whole lot of good if we ate nothing but cake and ice cream -- we need to

address our bodies/health with all the information that we can garner. Etc.

However, that said, I still drink coffee and diet sodas (my vices!).

When I commented about childhood-complexions -- for me that meant pre-12 years

old. I had a terrible case of acne -- I went to a dermatologist when I was in

high school and received x-ray treatments (a technique that was discontinued and

is now recognized as cancer-producing, particularly of the thyroid). Not until I

was in college did a dermatologist prescribe an antibiotic (1965/1966) -- worked

beautifully for me, but a lot of skin damage had already been done.

My complexion looks better now than it has since I was 12! I absolutely love the

comfrey/aloe gel -- it has evened out a lot of redness (I had been using

prescriptions from my dermatologist) -- I also use coconut oil for a moisturizer

-- and I feel that the LL breaths are really good for my skin. I do the facial

reflexology moves (in the shower each morning) and I think that makes a

difference too. Now if I could only figure out how to get rid of the

wrinkles........

Dear Bonnie, Thanks for the info. And I totally agree ~you can't just

do one thing~it has to be a combination. So much of what they did

yesterday is no good today. It is hard to know what is the right thing

to do! But at least someone finally realized your problem with your

skin and helped. You have a beautiful personality and a true helping

spirit. Connie :-)

I love the hoodia! I use it twice a day (they say to take it 3 times a day) but

twice seems to work just fine...it really curbs the appetite! I would recommend

Desert Burn...it is 100 percent hoodia. Most others have added ingredients that

really don't do anything for you and some of them can actually hurt you. Desert

Burn is the only company I know that is 100 percent Hoodia.

Hi Jenni -- didn't know you were also using hoodia -- seems like we, as a group,

always have lots in common!

I only took one capsule once a day (right before I left work) -- it suppressed

my snacking when I walked in the door after work! And that was all I needed.

How much have you lost with it? When did you start? Etc.?

Hi Bonnie -- I was thinking the same thing about us all using the same items.

It's interesting too that we all do the research.

I've only been on it for a few weeks and have lost 5 lbs. I only started taking

it regularly about a week ago. I noticed that i wasn't hungry so decided to

keep trying it. I have been thinking about taking only 1 twice a day and seeing

how that worked.

I have noticed the urge to " snack " has been gone. I do like that. I go to the

fridge thinking I will get something and nothing looks appetizing...which is

awesome!

the soup kitchen...

Yes, it takes VERY LITTE of the foundation powder. And if you do any

concealing before, that as well takes very little and you don't buff it

in like you

do when you're applying the foundation. It kinda works like magic, in

that

it will just be OK. I doubt the mineral veil is turning you orange, it

has

NO color to it. I'm not real sure what to say about that, I've never

had an

orange problem... Could be just the wrong color for you? What did you

end up

getting? I don't use the BM blush either, so can't comment on that one

either... Just a thought here, are you calling the 'warmth', blush?

Unless you

ordered a blush color separate, it doesn't come in the kit. If that is

what

you are meaning, my guess is that you are using way to much of it and

that's

what's giving you the orange coloring. With the warmth, you even use

LESS

than with the foundation! I wouldn't be surprised if you are using to

much

color too, just cuz we're all used to having to almost spackle on

liquid and

it's hard to imagine not having to use much of the BM. I hope this

gives you

some help. I truly think, once you get it down, you'll love it. Just

takes

a little time and a light hand...

Love ya'll and have missed ya...

Melinda,

I ordered it from their site....I think it is http://www.desertburn.com But I

could be wrong. I'll check my bookmarks if the link doesn't work.

Hi Bonnie,

I was going to ask the same thing Connie did, about using lip liner. I also

use this stiff, have for years, called Big Lips. It's NOT a lip plumper, it

covers your lips pretty much like the foundation. I never used foundationon

my lips, cuz it dries them out. I found this at ULTA. They may have it on

their online store, I'm not sure... But I LOVE the way it makes my lipstick

look...

Love ya,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

Odd that you, Connie, have that reaction with the BM. Since it's all

natural. But then I haven't talked to every one who's ever worn it...LOL Have

you

contacted the company about that? That just can't be a good thing. Could

it be that it's a reation to the buffing on process? I know if I get to

carried away with brushes, no matter how good the brush is, my face will have

a

kind of bury, tingly, weird sensation...

Love ya,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

Oh my Bonnie. THROW that away NOW! I believe foundation should only be

kept about 3 months or so, as it gets contaminated from the use. Mascara is 6

months or less...

[Guest guest]

Kiki,

What I am lost on is the clear radiance, glee and true. What are these for?

When I use them it looks weird, yet I like the little sparkly stuff in them.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bonnie!

I too played with mine over the weekend!! I tried to use very little and it

did look much better later in the day. It also didn't feel quite as heavy to

me. After 10 years of not wearing make up it felt kind of stifling to me. I

still don't use it every day just days that I feel I need. Right now that is

more

often than not because I am breaking out terribly. I don't know if it is from

pregnancy hormones or from BM. I have very sensitive skin and have a hard time

finding any products that I can use that don't cause acne flare ups.

Generally while I am pregnant my skin NEVER breaks out so I don't know if it is

that

or not.

Love,

[Guest guest]

I knew you were gonna ask for a brand name...LOL That's all the tube says,

and the co that distrubites it. I checked that name for a web site, but no

luck.. I'm going out in just a bit and will stop by the store and get the

info... I truly love it... And yes, foundation, concealer, all that is very

drying, to my lips anyway...

I'll let ya know when I get back from the store...

Hi Jenni -- I started it in January -- it was marvelous to no longer be even

remotely interested in snacking! -- now I simply take one if a special situation

arises (like going out to eat) -- I weigh what I want, I think the only thing

" lacking " is muscle tone (which I am working on -- LifeLift!)....

Re: Mineral Essence Makeup

Hi Bonnie -- I was thinking the same thing about us all using the same items.

It's interesting too that we all do the research.

I've only been on it for a few weeks and have lost 5 lbs. I only started taking

it regularly about a week ago. I noticed that i wasn't hungry so decided to

keep trying it. I have been thinking about taking only 1 twice a day and seeing

how that worked.

I have noticed the urge to " snack " has been gone. I do like that. I go to the

fridge thinking I will get something and nothing looks appetizing...which is

awesome!

with love,

Jenni
