I own The Truth and Happy Place and they are my favorite eyeshadow palettes. The colors are gorgeous and don't leave any fall out. They feel so silky smooth and are easy to blend.

I always come back to mascara because it leaves my lashes looking full and fluffy. Easily build able to give volume. Never looks spidery or clumpy.

Miss the old formula
Rating
I have to agree with the others that this does not give the same dark bronze tan color like the old formula. It does spread easily and doesn't have a strong odor but I when I shower the next morning I'm left with no color.

Great for the face!
Rating
I like to self tan but I never would apply to my face since I am very acne prone. I decided to try this because of the rave reviews and Bareminerals is a brand I can trust on my skin. I love it! I use it every morning before my primer and it works great on my oily skin. Feels lightweight and no self tanner smell.

Beautiful Tan
Rating
Phrases Chosen: natural tan, moisturizing
I love this gradual tanner because it gives such a beautiful tan color on my medium skin tone after just 3 days! It even gives my skin a slight glow. The lotion is thick so it may take a few minutes to absorb but helps to keep me moisturized. Fool proof application with no streaks! Does have a strong self tanner smell but everything else about it is so amazing that I don't care. I am a gradual tanner junkie and I always come back to this one as it is the best in quick results and beautiful tan color.

Amazing Product
Rating
Phrases Chosen: natural glow
This is an amazing product to give you that natural glow anywhere you want. I like to use this all around my eye area. Doesn't look too white or shimmery like other illuminating products. I like to use it as the last step to my routine and has become a must have in my collection. It may seem subtle but it makes a BIG impact.

Volumizing!!
Rating
This is a great high quality mascara that gives my lashes some volume without looking spidery or clumpy. I find it is best to wait for my lashes to dry between coats and to really push and wiggle the brush from the base to the tip. Doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and is very easy to remove. I love that it is natural. Thank you BE!

Best Lip Gloss Ever!!
Rating
Phrases Chosen: moisturizing, long lasting, good pigment
I own several shades of moxie as they are my favorite lip gloss. I have dry, chapped peeling lips and this is the only gloss that actually heals them. At night when all my make up is removed my lips are so soft and smooth. Another great plus is that it has good pigment where the color actually shows up on my pigmented lips and it lasts a really long time for a gloss. Even when the shine wears off you are left with a slight stain. I'm a lip gloss junkie and I have never found a gloss that was so high quality and natural. I love them!!

Best concealer ever!
Rating
Phrases Chosen: creamy, blendable
I am a 36yr old woman who stuggles with large pores,un even skintone, acne scars and blemishes. I have tried hundreds of concealers and I can honestly say this is the BEST! I use the Tan 2 shade with my Golden Tan original foundation and I look flawless all day & night! I pre conceal then buff my foundation on top and if I need some more concealing I can easy blend in more of the concealer on top of my foundation and it never looks cakey. You can't tell where I applied the concealer because it blends in so naturally. I like this concealer way better than summer bisque as the color match is right on and the texture is so creamy smooth. I love the way Bareminerals is going with all the solid products and I am looking forward to trying the Ready Foundation next. Keep up the great work!!

Is this product also a sunblock? If not, how do I got about putting on sunscreen in addition to this product, i.e. before or after?
I want sun protection in addition to the faux tan
It doesn't not contain sunblock. So once the faux tanner is dry I would apply sunblock over it.

Faux Tan Face Gradual Glow Sunless Tanner
If using in the morning, do I use after mosturizer?
When using Faux Tan Face can I use all my other applications first like toner and moisturizer then apply Faux Tan?
Yes you can use it over your moisturizer or save a step and mix it in with your face moisturizer. I have oily skin and I just use this as my face moisturizer and then apply my primer and foundation on top.

Faux Tan Face Gradual Glow Sunless Tanner
Does this serve as a moisturizer too? Also, does it have that odor typical of sunless tanners?
I use a product that is a facial moisturizer and sunless tanner. I like the convenience of the 2-in-1, but after a few hours, I can smell that odor that is typical of sunless tanners. Perhaps that is unavoidable, but would love to find a product that doesn't have that smell.
I have oily skin and I just use this as my moisturizer. I have a sensitive nose and I don't smell the typical self tanner scent.

If I am currently using the purifying facial cleanser and bought the exfoliating treatment cleanser, how often should I use the exfoliating cleanser?
I wash my face twice a day and would like to start exfoliating. I am not sure how often I should exfoliate my face or if I need both cleansers twice a day.
the exfoliating cleanser is very gentle. You can use it everyday in the AM and use Purifying at night when you remove your makeup. Also you can mix them together and use them that way if you want to. I also love to use the exfoliating cleanser as a mask once a week.

Will this cleanser break my skin out with blemishes (acne)?.. and will my skin be oily later in the day?
My skin is acne prone, I am nervous to try anything because of this.
I have very acne prone skin and I haven't had any trouble with any of the BE cleansers.

Ingredients?
First, let me say that I love BE products, and I've been pleased with every item I've tried so far, including the Purifying Facial Cleanser, Purely Nourishing Moisturizer, and Firming Eye Treatment in this line. My question, though, is about ingredients:
I'm trying to figure out what I "should" be using at age 25 for the best skin care. I'm reading a lot that for 25-35, cleansers with salicylic acid and masks/peels with glycolic acid are still best (even though I know the word "acid" is scary to a lot of people). This product has neither, and I'm just curious ... Does anyone else subscribes to this kind of ingredient loyalty? Does it really make much difference, or are these things worth seeking out? Thanks!

The new Intensive Glow Pads may be something you might be interested in. It does contain glycolic acid.

Blemish Therpy
Can this also be used as a conceler?I saw where it says AVOID eye area, but didnt know if I could use to cover dark circles or if I need an additional concealer? TY
Images for this Question
(click to see full-size image)
I would not use the blemish therapy as an under eye concealer since the skin clearing ingredients can dry and irritate the delicate skin around the eyes. I would suggest well rested or one of the bisque spf20 concealers.

I have the blemish therapy, skin rev er upper, and moisturizer. What should go on my skin first? And should I do it morning and night?
So far I have used the blemish therapy first, then the skin rev er upper, and the moisturizer at the end, but I am not sure if that order would give me the most benefit (This is my nighttime routine)...
I would use the skin rev ver upper, moisturizer and blemish therapy. You can use it both am and pm.
