And yarbiedoll, I never told you that I found a Neutrogena handy dandy mineral thingy. I bought some of the Physician's Formula to test as well. Really like the Physician's Formula. Kind of makes me want to test the Bare Escentuals to see if there is a difference. Not so sure about the Neutrogena. The brush/powder thing looks cool and in theory should work like a charm. Yet, I have shaken the thing as directed and can barely get any powder in the brush. Coverage with it is not very good. So I'll continue to test it out some more, but I'm not won over by it yet. It would probably work well for touch-ups, but not a first application.

I've been using Bare Minerals (by Bare Escentuals) for just over a year now and I still love it. My initial review can be found here. It didn't take me long at all to get used to using it after that, and these days it takes me anywhere from 3-5 minutes to apply my makeup, depending on whether or not I'm doing any extra blemish cover-up. It is a bit pricey but it lasts a long time--I've only had to refill one of the components in the past year, and that's because the kit contained the trial size.

If you want to give it a try, the Bare Escentuals store on 4th St will give you a test-run.

Grrr. I am so jealous that you can go down the street and to a store!

Wait a sec... whoa! There's a store at Crabtree!

A lot of other makeup shops carry their stuff and will let you test it out, too. I didn't know about the store close to us when I first tried it, I tried it at Ye Randome Olde Beauty Shoppe near my office.

OK, the next time I'm down there I'm going in for the test-run.
