Bare Escentuals: THE DEVIL'S OWN WORK

[JodieHarsh]

I must post about this. I have just spunked nearly ninety quid on some Bare Escentuals starter kit things.

I arrived at the counter in Stratford Westfield with a hideous bright red, sore, scarred, spotty, sweaty face, and some WITCH managed to take a decade off me with POWDER. Just powder! I mean - WT actual F?! A tube ride and a 20 minute walk home and it's still there. SURELY that's not right. I've used all sorts of super-max coverage matte stuff and it didn't cover ANYTHING like this well. O and I have the glowing rosy cheeks of a teen

I promise I've not been giver a tenner to post this stuff. It's just I've spent so much I feel slightly sick. Does anyone else use this stuff? it's not going to last is it. i'm an idiot. What have I done

Thanks Pinot I will give it a go - as I say, I can always take it back if it doesn't work on my hair. I have vouchers so that's not like real money is it?

jodie NEW THREAD PLEASE! When will this one run out

Hmm might watch DVD incase Im missing something vital and I could look even better. Ha well I can hope!
I really want to try a BBH too but if I buy one myself my birthday/christmas list will be even smaller!
Any other S&B type items I might want to add to my list oh great ones?

Oh gracious, gracious, I don't know what on

Let's wait until the thread goes BANG and then see who has the nerve to start another

Disclaimer: my name change does not in any way reflect on my BE passionz

jodie just do a 'Bare Minerals part Deux'

I've joined the mineral makeup club (but not BE). I bought the lilylolo mini starter kit on Monday and the postman has just delivered it. I've had a little play, but won't be doing the full shebang until later this afternoon, but on first testing, it seems fab. I have huge pores on my cheeks, so have to apply the flawless matte finishing powder first. I am soooo excited. How sad am I???

Oh, and I have got a £168 gas rebate as well. Happy days!

All right. But no-one'll turn up and I will blush savagely behind my flawless-powdered maquillage

Shoe BOTH of those things are reasons to pull your top over your head and run around the living room celebrating in manner of hat-trick footballer

I will be there!

shoe brilliant!

HURRAY! Google Chrome letting me write on Mumsnet again! No more internet explorer! YAY! :)

Ms Harsh, I am very disappointed with your name change :(

But Melted how will people know I'm COOL if they can't see I'm named after a drag queen named after a shameless hussy-turned-bodybuilder

God, she was shocking on This Morning, wasn't she? She nearly slipped off the sofa she has so much fake grease stuff on her! And talking about fancying men, I thought she was a lesbian?

Right! Off to buy BBBH - back later to report how it is!

I am back - sped into town and straight to ARGOS! Must've been quickest shopping trip EVER!

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Just had a little play with it and I think it's fab! My hair needs a wash today ( day 3 - bit skanky) and it looks amazing!!!

Will wash properly tomorrow and reserve judgement til then. It needs a cool button but apart from that I am slightly hysterical at how good it is...

OoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that good, huh?????????

I want a picture now

Yeah THAT good

It REALLY pulls the hair out and round the barrel quite tightly which is what I was worried it wouldn't do!!

I'm waiting for it to flop now as no cool button means it doesn't 'set.'

it stays like that val! Spritz with Elnett (the only hairspray any person on gods earth should use. Ever) and swiiiiiiish all day long. Like a loony.

Honestly - you can spot a MNer in the street as they'll be the ones gazing at themselves in the store windows :o

Ooh I said loony. Oops. My bad.

I have Elnet! It's still fine atm, so far so good!

Honestly, I really am SO excited - this will (hopefully) free up so mush time!

I am grinning like a loony ( is loony a banned MN word?)

Gracious. Well when I have sold my novel for £400k got some spare cash I know where it's going!

I did have lovely long hair almost to my waist, then in January lopped it off to a jaw length bob in a futile attempt to look less like I was forever trapped in 1875. It's now back down to my shoulders and should be swooshable by Christmas...

Does anyone else do this hair-snipping bollocks?? I am nothing NOTHING without long hair. I am Samson shorn of his locks at the mercy of the Philistines. I am Austin Powers frozen in a block of ice with his mojo removed. But what do I do every 2 years? LOP THE WHOLE LOT OFF, enjoy 2 months, at the absolute outside, of being a Thoroughly Modern Millie, and then wonder why drivers have stopped letting me cross the road and frantically start growing it again

Mindless ranting there, sorry

A LOONY IS A FUCKING BIRD!!!!!

No I have learned my lesson jodie!

I feel awful with short hair! I now have a shoulder length, layered cut which is fab and ever so slightly shorter in the summer and that is IT! I am SO miserable when my hair isn't right.

I went from bra strap length to jaw length once - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thanks for not clobbering me for using the l word. I agree it's twonky but I don't like to upset anyone

Jodie hurry up and go home and see what's in your box of lovely freebies! I am living vicariously through you!

Oh yes - I am megga envious after getting a poxy bottle of brush shampoo instead of nice new brushes! Wonder what you have got... maybe some sparkly shadows? Or a lip gloss?
