Bare Escentuals: THE DEVIL'S OWN WORK

1028 replies

JodieHarsh · 25/09/2011 17:16

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 Shock

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

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk

Oh dear, it's only £35 quid on Amazon....
Don't buy Melty, DON'T! I have 9 quid in bank, behave, BEHAVE!!

ArfurBrain · 05/10/2011 16:04

Saraya - please don't ever take up drug dealing. You will be AWESOMELY good at it....

(I need to buy a hearty hole punch now.....)

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:05

There was a whole thread on BBBH. My hair is huge anyway but it makes it look so much more groomed. I have to run the GHDs over to tame it down!

valiumredhead · 05/10/2011 16:05

I paid £44 at Argos - I had vouchers and I wanted to be able to take it back if I hated it! £35 is a bargain!

meltedchocolate · 05/10/2011 16:05

Ach, I get money in a couple of days, would the bank really notice if I went over for just two days??? [angle face]

meltedchocolate · 05/10/2011 16:05

Haha, angel even...

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:06

I can't help it. I love STUFF. I have a whole board on pinterest dedicated to things I want to buy. Let me know if you sign up as you can 'follow' each other's boards.

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:07

There are loads of things you can do with those paint colour charts here If I go to B&Q and they are all missing. I know why

ArfurBrain · 05/10/2011 16:08

I have, of course, signed up, being of an addictive personality and a complusive crafter....I am on some sort of waiting list apparently.

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:10

The invite doesn't take long to come through. Wait till you see some of the food ideas and I don't even like cooking!

meltedchocolate · 05/10/2011 16:10

Sarayu, you behave, I had a whole lecture last night about how I wanted stuffand it wasn't a good thing blah blah from friend.... Annoyingly coming from someone who has so much money they don't know what to do with it... Hmm

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:11

I love stuff, it makes me happy.

valiumredhead · 05/10/2011 16:14

Oh me too Sarayu, me too :)

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:16

I want to make THIS

meltedchocolate · 05/10/2011 16:19

Wonder what jodie gets in her parcel. So tempted to go on another forum and set up a BE thread and get me some freebies :o but I wont...

Sarayu · 05/10/2011 16:21

I have to go now Sad. Will check back through the night to keep up! Will be a real test of the BE as I'm going to be hectic till 10.30pm

PeriPathetic · 05/10/2011 16:36

Ooh ooh! My goodies have "been despatched" Grin 5-7 working days... is umm... about Wednesday-ish-if-I'm-lucky.

Will this thread last until Jodie gets home and unpacks her parcel??

Sarayu - I'm on Pinterest (sadly with very bare boards atm) but am following you and your crafty cleverness :)

S&B is very, very bad for my bank account. As well as the BE, completely based on threads in here I've bought boots (faaaabulous boooooots) Not only that, inspired again by S&B, these are boots with heels as I am very tall and usually wear flats. They came today and I am happy.

I've also been stocking up on leggings and warm clothes for layering a la various threads here. I am reborn!

It is not good Blush. Well, it IS good, but ykwim.

Dillydollydaydream · 05/10/2011 16:38

Ooh what is this Pinterest?
Love those heart banner things made with paint charts. Wow!

Camera is charging Grin

Right, it was all in a huge cardboard box sealed with BE tape (a detail which made DH actually squeal Hmm)

Inside that was a lovely pink gift bag full of pink tissue paper and inside that.....

A full size foundation in my colour
A full size bisque
A full size mineral veil
A full size blush
