Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Yes, they have warmth (which is a browner toned blush) and " glee " which is a more purple/pink toned blush. If you order off their infomercial or call you can get a special kit which includes two shades of foundation, their mineral veil (a setting powder), warmth, glee and 4 brushes for $60. Their delivery was really slow, though -- about a month. A word of caution if you order it anywhere besides the store; I don't consider myself terribly fair, as I don't burn easily, so I bought their medium shade, which they say most people use. It was too dark for me, so I ordered their light set instead. > > I've now been using loose mineral makeup (Bare Escentuals) for > about > > two weeks and am kicking myself for not trying it sooner!
