I'm in. even on AD. I love BB color cosmetics!

For me, BB lipglosses last and they have to since I am limited in time and place to reapply. Plus, my 14 year old female students love to check out the gloss shades-they approve, even the 'mean' girls clique.

I usually don't buy from her because her prices are too high and her products seem to be more for the under 40 crowd. I did buy her gel brow product though, and I love it.

Not even tempted. If there was a liner, maybe. Plus those are the same old colors I see from her all the time. I have a few BB palettes (they last a long time) with similar colors so it does not make sense for me to buy this. It would make a great gift for a new BB person though.

I don't want the first shipment, but I would LOVE the second shipment!

Ladies-Back Again! This time to gripe. Why is it that the Even Finish compact foundation is $2 more on the Q then at Nordstrom? Yes, I know it's only $2, but geez. Sometimes I just don't understand the Q's pricing. If there was some more incentive to buy, I would. I know some products are on EZ pay, but still. I guess they plump up the the price just a tad b/c they feel that they're doing us a favor with EZ pay? I am a true Beauty Junkie and I purchased MU and beauty products in lots of different ways, but dang. Just seems weird to me.

I went ahead and splurged for the TSV/AD. Porcelain, my shade range, was an option and I want the Katie pot rouge and the new eyeliner. I use a foundation brush to help me lightly apply the pot rouge colors I already have. It really helps keep me from overdoing--just a slight touch of the brush to the product, then placed where I want it. I am extremely pale with rosacea ruddiness; I don't need much blush. Usually I can't get a fair enough foundation, but I use porcelain and extra light in the BB foundations and tinted SPF moisturizers. It's the powder I find too yellow.

Although I like and use BB makeup I am passing on this. I might have been tempted if the foundation palette was offered in my shade but it is not. I even thought about ordering it in my DD's shade but since the foundation stick appears to be the old formula I decided against it. Plus I have several of her eye shadow palettes and pot rouges so I don't need it.

Hi Everyone-Although I really like some BB products, I'm passing on this. I have very similar items already, including a very similar palette from BB from about a year or so ago (could this be an older palette? Anyone know?).

For those that are on the fence, I think that little face compact thing is a great way to try the BB brand. I think I've purchased two of these over the years and used each product til I 'hit pan'. However, be really careful when choosing your shade. I find that the best way to choose a shade is by going to a BB counter. I've chosen wrong in the past and within the BB line there are lots of different shades-which is a GOOD thing-but confusing. My only suggestion.

glmama - I thought of going to the store today to check out the shades, but it is terrible weather here; so I will keep my fingers crossed! I bought the beige, but thought I might need natural. Worst case, I will exchange it. BTW do you have a good product for finicky, rosacea skin? In the past few months nothing seems to work for me. Thanks!

May I recommend you try the Paula's Choice Skin Recovery or Skin Balancing line? They have great CS with online & phone consults. I use Skin Recovery products along with Metrogel and Finacea. I have very fair, dry rosacea skin.

rac71, the two lines in PC's arsenal that are specifically touted for rosacea and sensitive skin are Skin Recovery (for dry/very dry) and Hydralight (for normal to combo/oily).
