My QVC makeup order FINALLY came today. I'm a little miffed that it took so dang long to get here. I placed the order Thursday afternoon, supposedly it shipped Friday, Priority Mail and it just got here this afternoon. Thats a wee bit long, IMO. It came from either VA or NC to Indiana. DH got a package, priority mail, from Washington (state) to Indiana in two days.

On to the most important issue at hand, the makeup.

I ordered Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup Foundation in Light.
The thing I am most impressed with is how miniscule of an amount you actually use. I am going to have to get used to the application technique. I didn't order their brush and I am going to have to get a better one. I've read good things about using a SK brush, so I'll be off to Target tonight.

The powder itself looks impossibly dark and yellow in the tub. On my face, it works. The more I "buffed" it, the better the color match and coverage got. I do feel alittle bit "tight" on my face but I remembered that I'd forgotten to put moisturizer on after my shower this morning, so that will be an easy fix. Its going to be interesting to see if my skin reacts to it or not.

So far though, I like it. Alot. I can see why this mineral makeup is all the rage.
