After looking around a few different places i purchased from bubbasclownsupplies.com... They had the palette for 49 bucks.... MAJOR STEALL!!! everywhere else was like 60... the flame red was 6.75 & shipping was 8.50
I recieved my package in 2 days!! shipping was superb!

I have a free coupon I can give to new customers there (no, I don't work for them, I buy from them regularly and they send coupons) and I have no one to give them to. its FGSNC08 for free shipping for your first order over $30. HTH

This coupon still works. Thanks!!!

I couldn't find exactly what you are looking and mine haven't arrived so I can't measure them. They fit into a 36mm case and here is the link to the catalog http://www.bennye.com/image/2007_BNC_Catalog.pdf

That is a great site they have every single Lumiere colour as well as in palette refill form, but their international shipping is RIDICULOUS. I was going to buy 3 lumiere refills from there and they estimated shipping at $43 for shipping to CANADA. Come on. That's DOUBLE what the price of my actual order was. Your coupon still works but it doesn't apply to international orders

I found this site: theatricalmakeup.org it seems to have a very wide range, if not the full line, of Ben Nye. Also they calculated my shipping at $6.50...but I emailed to double check because that seems very cheap lol Has anyone else used this website or heard of it?

 

[user79]

I buy mine now from ebay, from the seller funhousetheatrical, they're an official retailer. Most of these online sites charge ridiculous amounts of intl. shipping, I found the prices from this ebay seller a bit higher for the product but the shipping is cheap.

haha this cant be ignored any longer Julia. Your avatar is h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!

 

[fafinette21]

Yea I'm not ordering from theatricalmakeup.org. I sent them an email Sunday night and they have yet to get back to me. If I'm ordering something, I'd like a prompt reply. I went and ordered from stagesupply.com just because I didn't want to get charged an arm and a leg for shipping and it was one of the only websites that had what I was looking for. I'm hoping I have a better experience than Julia did. Maybe it was just a one-off? That's what I am hoping anyway.


EDIT: Checked out funhouseinternational...estimated shipping $4.86 :|....wonder if it is too late to cancel my order with stagesupply.....

Re: ben nye palette vs. loose powder shadows

imo, they are exactly the same. same colors same payoff as far as lumiere colors go. I bought the powders and I pressed them just like you would Mac pigments. They work perfectly and are just as pigmented. Now they just fit in my palette's with my mac shadows!

I ordered my BN items from stagesupply.com and everything went fine. Shipping was longer than I expected, but only by a few days.

I really love the Banana powder!!

Ben Nye Conceal All Wheel NK1

Has anyone got this?
How do you use all four colours?
Is it good for fair/pale skin?
Does it have good coverage?
Does it last all day?
Easy to blend?

I want to use it for my dark under eye circles, redness around my nose and blemishes. At the moment I am using Amazing Cosmetics concealer but find I need something more and I also find it fades through the day.

Thanks

Re: Ben Nye Conceal All Wheel NK1

I think there are a few mentions of it in this thread...

I have one of the wheels but the one that has 6 shades - or is it 5? It's the one with the round on in the middle and the other shades around it. Forgot the actual name of it.

Anyway it works great, it really covers heavily though so you may have to sheer it down a bit if you want light to medium coverage. I use a bit of eyecream on the brush then dip into the concealer if I want a light coverage. You use the different shades for color correcting or contouring. Really great bargain and I'm very happy with this product - does a fantastic job of covering redness and undereye circles. They are very thick so you have to blend them out with either your finger or a sponge. I really think it's a great product. You can even use them for covering tattoos or heavy discoloration. They are sort of similar to MAC's Studio Finish concealer but they last longer on me and cover more, and are more suitable to color correcting, which is perfect! I like it more than Studio Finish and it's cheaper too.

The one I have has some orange-peach shade and a green shade in it which is perfect for redness or blue undereye circles. Better than just using one color concealer for the whole face because usually spots or blemishes are different colors on your skin, so you use the different shades for correcting.

This is the one I use:
