Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I've been using this stuff for 5 years and love it BUT it makes a mess of my bathroom. I do the whole swirl, tap and buff(and try to be neat about it). It's all over the countertop and in the sink when I windex and I have to clean my exhaust fan regularly. Anyone else??

Anyone using the MDFormulations cleanser ??

Do you prefer Warmth for your cheeks or something else??

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I usually put down a papertowel or washcloth on my bathroom counter to avoid getting the powder on the sink. It works well.

I don't usually use warmth. Instead I use a little bit of the glee on my cheeks and then use clear radiance as my all over face cover.

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I an also messy. No matter how delicate I try to be
I am not using the cleanser. I like Glee & True for my cheeks. I don't like warmth b/c it does not look natural on my ridiculously light skin

I never really use the warmth, I have the sweetest pink blush from them. As for the mess, I don't put it on in the bathroom so I don't see it, but I am UBER-CAREFUL with the stuff for that reason. i probably don't wear as much as everyone else b/c I take painstaking steps to avoid a mess.

I don't like warmth; it's orange on me. I use Physician's Formula SPF 20 Solar Powder in light bronze.

I also don't use MD Form cleanser. I use either Murad cleanser or La Vitton, which is an organic, oil-based cleanser.

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I thought warmth was too orange also. I alternate between Glee & Physicians Formula Bronzer...

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I do the swirling, tap, buff thing leaning over the sink. if anything spills, I just rinse out the sink. it doesn't happen that often though.

I use warmth in the summer and "golden gate" blush all other times.

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I've never had a problem with the stuff getting all over the place. I swirl, tap and buff and use very little.

I don't use that cleanser.

I love the warmth in the summer, but I think it's too dark for me in the winter.

I put my BM stuff on a handtowel when I put it on, the towel is wrecked but my counter is clean I have also started using a touch of their Faux Tan mixed w/ mineral veil. I really like it.

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

OMG! Its always all over my bathroom too!

I like the warmth but you have to use sooo little.

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

i put paper towel underneath....

But once I tried to put the foundation on in the car, and, eell, my whole drivers seat and steering wheel was covered in dust

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

Is BE expensive, how often do you have to buy moreand do you buy it onloine or at Sephora?

Re: Spinoff: Bare Escentuals Girls

I got some for Christmas and I just bought a new one in July. So it lasted me ( this is the foundation) about 6 months. I find I usually buy the foundation about 2x a year. 3 tops. The foundation is $24.95 ( I get mine from QVC)

The bisque concealer lasts me more then 6 months.

The all over face colors go faster. Maybe 4 months.

So no , its not $$$$ when you figure in how long it lasts.

OH and the mineral Veil...Forget it I have the huge tub of it. Lasts me a year easy, and thats putting it on at least 3x a day!
