Hmm, I may have to look into this Sheer Cover stuff.. Although I'd like to read some testimonials from those who have tried it and also the B.E. brand. But I'm sure they're pretty much the same. How do these products respond to dry skin though? And can you wear them over moisturizer?

I just can't stand foundation, or pressed powder because they always make my skin look 20x worse! Also, regular powders/compacts have talc in them (not to mention countless other nasty chemicals) and talc is really bad.. it has asbestos and has been linked to ovarian cancer. Yikes.

And then read some of the ingredient lists on your beauty products. Kinda scary.

You arnt kidding miss!!..the stuff they put in some makeups are really scary!!...the sheercover stuff prolly works alot like the B.E. line...there are a few diff names out there, doing pretty much the same thing....the B.E. starter kit comes with a moisturiser with it but I dont use it everyday...I do use a little bit of moisturizer for my face but its so oily on its own that I dont like to use alot...almost 50 years old and still get the occasional zit!!! wft is up with that??? LOL

thanks for the great input ladies have a great day!!!

Mrs. B, if you have oily skin, you gotta keep it well moisturized still... or it will produce MORE oil and clog your pores...

This explains it better than I can though, lol :

Like treats like.
Though it might seem counterintuitive to apply oil to an oily complexion, it's actually the most effective solution. The skin knows whether it's sufficiently protected, producing more of its own oil when skin is dry and less when it's balanced. Drying, soap-based products and oil-free acne treatments can rob the skin of its defenses, leaving it vulnerable and triggering the sebaceous glands to produce even more oil. Dr. Hauschka's Normalizing Day Oil provides a light, clean layer of pure plant oils and botanical extracts that calm the skin's oil production while helping to heal and soothe blemishes and irritation.

On the other end of the spectrum we have Moisturizing Day Cream, the activating daily moisturizer that provides hydrating protection in a light, fast-absorbing formula. If we treat dry skin with rich, heavy creams or oils we effectively trick our skin into believing it's been producing too much of its own oil. In response it will decrease production, perpetuating the dry skin cycle. Moisturizing Day Cream is light enough that the sebaceous glands are called upon to gently increase oil production, but provides enough nurturing moisture to prevent dryness and damage. Over time, the skin will regain its balance and be better able to fend for itself.

I posted the link on the 1st page of this thread, but in case you maybe missed it, very informative stuff. The products are awesome too.

Well I consider myself a country girl through and through.However i do go into the city (NYC), a couple times a month.I like a good tan over makeup any day.
If I do wear makeup its Bare essentials.I have big eyes so I like to accent them with a little eye shadow and mascara.i do the essentials on my face(lightly)and I wear clear or light pink lip gloss or vaseline.
I like to accent what I have rather than cover up.Plus i find makeup really suffocating if its thick.I like my skin to breath...and makeup is hot....temperature wise not Paris Hilton..hot...NOT..lol..

I can handle the fake eyelashes and the lipgloss, just watch out with the cleavage:

(They have stuff for men too!)

I don't know if plugging brands is a no-no around here (i don't own it or work for it or anything), or only if it has to do with companies that would otherwise buy ad space on here.. not sure, but if me posting that is violating anything, please let me know or edit accordingly!

I have a quick question on a side issue. Tell me honestly ladies, when you wear a necklace that has a shiny drop down element, that drops down to your clevage, and is combined with a low cut top, is that a trap that you set to have fun all day accusing guys of looking at your chest? And what is the correct answer to that question?
