I've recently started using Bare Minerals make up (mineral based powder make up) and Agera facial products - both of these brands are US based and I thought I'd stock up whilst over there, if I can find any.

Can I ask you lovely people if anyone has seen either of these two products on their shopping travels in Orlando?

Thanks

There is a Bare Escentuals shop in Florida Mall, also I think they stock it in Sophora in FM. Cheaper than UK, of course!

Not heard of Agera, where do you get that from in UK?

Oooh fantastic! Thank you! I've JUST run out of mineral veil and I'm wondering if I can get away with not buying any until I get there... isn't it typical!?

Agera is a specialist facial system, medicated for people with acne (sigh, yes at 29 I still suffer with acne!) and I buy it online but you can usually only get it from salons and dermatologists in the UK.

I think you will find your skin improves with the mineral formulations. It can't clog your pores. My skin is drier (and older), but I have been using BE for about 4 years now, so much nicer than other foundations, I also love the eye colours, which last forever and the lipstick in shade Thistle. Look out for it in the shops. It is my fav shade of any makes of lippy.

Enjoy your trip.

I love the Bare Escentuals stuff especially their foundation, I'm never going back to liquid foundation! Looking forward to stocking up in April.

Has anyone tried Lily Lolo, a mineral foundation company in Melton East Yorkshire.

Cheaper than BE, you can look up stockists or order online. (not allowed to send links, but you can google the name.

There is a BE shop in teh Florida Mall & Sephora also stock it - you must stock up - the kits are such good value over there. At the BE shop you also get a loyalty card (one stamp for each $10 spent) - fill your card & you get $10 off :D

This is the brand of Mineral Foundation I use. I use the whole range and absolutely love it. It doesn't have Bismuth in it which a lot of mineral foundation do so it is better for very sensitive skin.

Do you order direct or have a local salon?

I buy my BE products from a lady on Ebay. She's excellent and unbelievably cheap (her products are cheap... not her... although I suppose she could be, I haven't met her... anyway...crashing on).

I looked briefly at the site you provided for Saphora and although I haven't had chance to look too deeply into it I think that my ebay lady is a bit cheaper. I'll let you know for definate when I get chance to look properly!
