Has anyone tried that new Almay foundation that goes on white and then blends to your skin color? I have been thinking of trying it because I have such fair/light skin, it is so hard to find the "right" color for me. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried it yet and if you like it.
 
Sounds interesting! Can't wait to read a review if anyone's tried it!
 
I usually use the lightest Ivory color from various cosmetic companies.Started using the new Almay 2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. It is a bit sheer, but where more coverage was needed, I dabbed a bit as a concealer first, and let it set for a bit.My skin is quite dry by the way, and it feels good!Going back to the store to look for the color changing blush, too!

Thanks, I was wondering if it "really" worked, if you know what I mean. I have a hard time finding the right shade. I didn't realize they have the color changing blush! I guess I will give it a try.
 
I hate finding the right shade and wasting money too. Have you ever thought of using Bare Essentials, Mary Kay or Clinique? When you go to the store (or have the MK rep come to your house) they match it up for you.

Yes I do end up paying more per container but I am also not wasting money on getting the wrong shade. If you do not like it you can always return it with no problem.

I have tried Mary Kay and I just don't like the foundation. I usually end up with Merle Norman, but every time I go get it, the price is higher and higher. When I saw the commercial for the new Almay, I thought I might just have to try it. I don't think I can get Bare Essentials or Clinique in my town. I don't want to have to go the big mall in another town to get them. I have thought of trying them in the past, but didn't for that reason. I may have to break down and do it the next time I am at the mall.

After you find out your shade you can order both Bare Essentials and Clinique on line. I personally love Bare Essentials and I can not feel that I have it on.

Update: Purchased the "Natural" blush this afternoon, it looks good on my very fair skin. It is also 'buildable', can add extra layers. Will try the other 2 colors eventually. Hope Almay continues this line :)
 
HWC Tablecloth???HWC tablecloth?
I was looking through my pictures of the product interactive room from leadership and I noticed the HWC products were on a table with a HWC tablecloth. I wound up with stomach flu at leadership and missed all of friday and half of Saturday, when I was in the product interactive room I took a couple of pictures and then had to dash out of the room....Did they make an announcement about a HWC tablecloth? It's quite attractive, and I was too yucky feeling to pay much attention to the room the day I was there. Anyone?
 
The Tablecloth can be earned if you have 3 shows between March 1 - March 15, I believe. It is really cute!!

If you have 2 shows within that time frame then you get the guest specials for HWC. I am going by memory... I haven't seen anything in writing from HO.

they announced it when they announced the new HWC products...you earn it when you hold & submit 3 shows in the first 2 weeks of March.
I am sorry to hear you got so sick at leadership....what a bummer!
