I finally got with the program this wkd and got myself a starter kit.
I just wanted to know if you all actually use the skin rev'er up? (is that what it's called? the thing in the white bottle) before you put on your foundation? If so, or not- what difference do you see?
BTW: I got up early enough to put in on to wear to work and I love it!It feels like I have nothing on compared to the cake I was wearing before.
also how often you wash your brushes.....and do you use the B.E. brush cleanser?
I use the rev-er up, because it came with the kit, and I'm all about the free moisturizer. :)
But I won't be buying more once it's gone - I can't tell a bit of difference from using that. I like my regular moisturize better.
I wash my brushes weekly (okay, every 10 days or so), and I just use what I've always used - liquid hand soap and warm water. They seem to be handling it just fine (I got my BE kit in October 2005).

I do use the moisturizer the kit came with. I like it, although I don't see a huge difference on how the makeup stays on. My makeup stays on all day when I don't use it too...so it's not something I am about to go out and buy without the kit.
I was my brushes every other time I use them, and I use warm water and no soap.
As for using the moisturizer in the kit as well as your own...I don't think it's necessary. Use your own because it's the kind for your specific skin type as opposed to the one in the kit which isn't.
I used the rev-er upper and I didn't really care for it, but my skin is kinda nutso so there you go. It smelled funny to me and I didn't see enough of a difference to consider dealing with the smell. My regular Neutrogena mositurizers work better and keep the makeup on for just as long.
I use gentle shampoo to clean my brushes which I should be doing every week but it's more like whenever I get around to it.
