    Transporting Bare Escentuals?

    I've got some traveling coming up (car, not plane), and I was wondering if you ladies had any tips for transporting Bare Escentuals without all of the powder sifting up.

    I mean, it's not an earth-shattering problem; just something that irks me. Thanks for the help!

    I just wait until I am at my destination and take the holey lid off and shake it all back into the tub. Tape works too but sometimes doesn't stick well without cleaning the lid off well before hand.

    I just shake it all back in like Earkid. BUT Mamabot told me that she just doesn't takethe entire foil topper thing off, which I think is brilliant!

    No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
    And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
    No broken heart,
    No familiar scars,
    This territory goes uncharted...

    Thanks for the hint! I'm going to be buying a starter kit soon.
    How much longer? Are we there yet? Why aren't we there yet?

    I had a clerk at the Bare Escentuals Boutique show me a 'trick'.

    Use a sharp pointed object (like a toothpick or icepick), and poke through the white seal sticker into only 1/2 of the sifter holes.
    That way, less of the product comes through.

    Great advice on poking the holes....a little late now, but will remember next time!

    I ended up pulling the sifter out and putting the loose powder back into the container. Thanks for the tips, guys; I actually wasn't aware I could do that.

    The main problem was the warming powder. A lot of it fell through, and no matter how much tapping I did, I ended up looking baked.

    Tap the Warmth in the lid, and then you have control of how much you use.
