" Brand: Sheer Cover "
i bought sheer cover set which consisted of:
two shades of mineral powder foundation
two shades of conceler
dark brown mascara
lip and eye pallet
4 tester bronzer
sheer cover face wash
sheer cover face lotion
on the go powder brush
conceler brush
all of this which only cost me 25 - £30 a month. which i think is a awesome deal.
each month you got all of that excluding the brushes as you got them all in the first set.
you sometimes got a free gift which would be a lip gloss brush and a lip gloss.
sheer cover conceler is the best i have ever used, it covers everything from dark circles to birth marks.what ever you want covering it will cover without a doubt. if you just wanted to buy the conceler on its own it would cost £12 from ebay or you could just buy it from their website which would be £17.
the mineral foundation works wonders on your skin and will also like the conceler cover any marks on your face and gives you a nice even skin tone. they give you two different shades and you mix them up your self to get the right colour.
they come from fair to light, light to medium and medium to dark.
the eyes and lip pallet comes with 3 eye high lighters and three lip glosses and it all so comes with a gel eye liner which is brilliant.
the mascara is good if you like to have natural looking eyes. i didnt use the mascara because i prefer to have darker and bigger lashes but is good for just incase you run out of your mascara and cant afford to buy a new one.
the sheer cover face wash and lotion is good if you dont have sensative skin like it do. it makes my skin quite dry.
it is all well worth the money. it isnt expensive if you buy the set but if you buy everything separte its really expensive so i would recommend anyony to get the the set.
you get a set ever month for about year and then it stops and if you wish you could contact them to renew your contract with them. its really simple. its a free phone number which you can find on their website which is www.sheercover.co.uk .
I ordered this product for a friend so this review is more for those of you who are planning to buy on the Sheer Cover website. Be very careful.
When you click on the "I agree to terms and conditions" you are not merely buying the product and end of story - they send you consignments which arrive every 60 days which you haven't ordered and they debit your account. They claim that in the small print on the website it claims that if you buy a product you subscribe on an ongoing basis!
I surprisingly received a package through the post with a note stating that they had deducted nearly £70 from my credit card. I and got hold of them and they told me that I had inadvertently ordered it by agreeing to terms and conditions! They promised to refund the money if I sent the consignment back but at my own expense and they would not refund £6 for postage (when it was sent to me). For something that I did not order? I have already contacted watchdogs and instructed my credit card company to refund me the money. Sheer Cover should be ashamed of themselves.
I have severly dry skin and I'm extremely sensitive to foundations of all kinds. I only wear foundation or makeup on special occasions and not on a daily basis. I was looking for a product that wouldn't cause acne and that wouldn't give too much of a heavy application as I'm more of a natural girl.
After watching the infomercial I thought this would be perfect for me so I ordered the product. First off I had several problems with Customer Service when it tried to prevent them from automatically sending a supply every 3 months since a 1 month supply would last me several months because I only planned to wear it on special occasions. This nearly made me cancel all together but I was really interested in the product so I went ahead with my order.
I was so excited after recieving the package in the mail and I must admit the starter kit provides you with ALOT of products and is an excellent deal for the price.
I wasn't really happy with the product though. It first of all made the dry patches on my skin appear more obvious and gave my skin an overall ashy appearance around the corners of my nose. Also, I felt a burning sensation about these dry spots due to the product irritating my skin, which I though mineral foundations weren't supposed to do. My face was red after removing the powders. I haven't used the powder since.
I do still use the concelers with other foundations and powders and I absolutely loved the brushes that came with the product which is why I didn't return the product for a refund.
I gave the free cleaser that came with the package to my mother and she loves it...
Overall, I wouldn't purchase the product again but I did find use out of some items I received in the package.
ok firstly i love sheer cover but it has its faults ill start with the faults 1# dosent stay on my nose properly if its cold outside 2#if i try to cover a spot with the concealer it makes the spot worse the next day. 3#the cleanser it comes with DO NOT USE its dries out skin badly. There the only faults that sheer cover has apart from those its quite good at covering the rest of the face even blemishes,the brushes it comes with are good and so are the little lip glosses.the concealer is good for under eyes but as i said before not good on certian types of spots,one of the main reasons i will continue to buy sheer cover is because it DOES cover acne scarring and it would look completly natural apart from it coming off the nose making me have flawless skin but red shiny nose,mabye its just me so give it a shot as it has good and bad points.as for the nose problem i have with it after i have applied i know speay a little bit of hair spray to help it stay on lol.
After seeing the commercials for Sheer Cover I'm sure many women are wondering about it. Make sure and read the comments posted by other women before you purchase.I wouldn't recommend Sheer Cover for fair, sensitive or dry skin. I ordered the light starter kit which had loads of products. Mascara, brushes, 2 concealer colors, face wash, lotion and 2 colors of foundation. The fragrance of both was very strong and after applying both burned my skin . I have not since tried a new mineral foundation. I use Este Lauder Double Wear in Shell. I just used the lightest foundation, the other fair color is more of an orange shade. I still turned a slight orange shade after applying the foundation. The foundation is very heavy and felt very dry. lastly
The other things I want to know before buying this or any skin care products are the ingredients and if it is cruelty free and it's good to see environmentally friendly packaging. I checked out Sheer Cover through their website.I really liked the ultra-light set, and my experience with their customer service absolutely blew me away .
I am 30 years old mixed race woman with reasonably good skin. so i have never felt the need to so, have never worn makeup except for lipstick. That and i did not have a clue on what to buy, colour i need, how to do it etc.. so i just never bothered. I also have never liked the heavy makeup look on woman where its obvious they are wearing it. However as got older my skin looks less youthful. I had been thinking of trying something just did not know what and how to go about it. I had seen the infomercial for sheer cover a few times and considered it but never called to place an order. it was only when i saw the informercial one early morning ( when there was a promotion for free post and packaging) that i picked up the phone and ordered. it arrived about 8 days later. it was packed well and first impressions were good. I then put on the instructional cd that comes and it showed step by set of what to do. The basics was great but as the tutorial progressed, I was a little annoyed that it was showing me how to do things with products that had not come with the pack. You had to order to buy them with a phone number at the bottom of the screen. Well i did not order any addition stuff as i was thinking 'the cheek' After i set to trying my sheer cover, it is a bit fiddly mixing the powder at first but when you get use to it its wonderful and i would recommend it. It enhances my face, it feels and looks like im wearing nothing. I get compliments all the time. It has really sparked a desire in me for makeup and products because i feel so good. Id just like to say you don't need the additional stuff you do get everything you need.
I was up early one morning with my baby and I sat down on the sofa, turned the telly on and Filmfour were advertsing this mineral make up called "Sheer Cover". It was claimed to be totally natural, wonderful for your skin and provides flawless cover.
How exciting!
You can imagine my excitement when I opened a whole box of sheer cover make up at Christmas!
The foundation is like every other powder out there on the market. It's light and if you shake the box too much it goes absolutely everywhere! There are "light reflectors" in the foundation that make your skin look more vibrant and lively. It is easy to blend in and doesn't make you look "orange".
The concealer is about as useful as an umbrella on a sunny day. You might as well dab some water on your blemishes, because it doesn't seem very effective at hiding blemishes! Not at all!
Also, if you have dry skin, it's the same old problems you would have with any other powder. Your skin becomes ever more dry and the makeup looks patchy.
The lipsticks taste disgusting. But they're not food, so I'll forgive them for that. I like the selection and they stay on for hours at a time - which is always a plus. They don't dry out your lips either which is handy too.
I used my sheer cover make up and was mostly pleased with the results. It DOES provide a nice shine and youthful glow to your complexion and it does feel much lighter than any other make up.
There is one downside.
Sheer cover gave me spots!! I'm still suffering from the blemishes that sheer cover caused me. Why? Because it DOES clog up your pores and hey, maybe that's the conspiracy. Maybe they want you to get bad skin so you become dependant on the stuff. Anyway I've stopped using it because I hate having bad skin.
Conclusion is, well, test it for yourself. It may not affect your skin like it did mine. If you don't break out with it, then it is well worth the pennies.
There are several foundations on the market. Tinted Moisturizer, Mousse or Whipped Foundation, Liquid Foundation, Cream-to-Powder Foundation and Minerals the choice is endless. It's important for women and in some cases men, to find the perfect foundation for their skin type and color in order to get their skin looking its best, without causing break outs and dry patches.
Mineral powder foundations are becoming more and more popular, in fact most people now own a mineral powder foundation at home and some even use it daily rather than using a liquid or cream to powder foundation. Why as mineral powder foundations become so popular? Well it's pretty much obvious in the name. Mineral powder foundations contain many vital minerals that improve your skins condition helping it to become spot free and feeding it minerals that are from the earth that feel lightweight and look totally natural.
Sheer cover is an exceptional mineral powder foundation, in fact probably one of the best in the market. Although, some people find mineral powder foundations difficult to apply. Liquid foundations and crème to powder foundations seem to apply more easily using your fingertips, brush or a sponge and blend it around your face. However, the mineral powder foundations although you can blend them around your face using a brush it feels quite odd at first applying a foundation using a brush very similar to a blusher brush all the way around your face, it is harder to blend and also more time consuming as liquid foundations rub well into the skin and are more smooth then powder.
Sheer cover mineral foundation prices vary. I purchased this product for £12.99 on Bizrate however, some people purchase the product in a package which include brush sets and other useful tools theres a lot on information on the Sheer cover website about this deal.
Don't let this put you off however, as the Sheer cover foundation does provide a wonderful coverage and lasts for a long period of time, less is more definitely applies with this product you only need a small amount of powder per application which can save a lot of money in the long run!
The sheer cover foundation caters for people who have troubled skin and want to cover birthmarks, acne, broken blood capillary etc. As I said before what makes this product so "special" is the fact that it is made up of minerals, it's a very natural product so those who do have troubled skin don't need to worry that there make-up is making it worse.
Most foundations look like a mask, they look very thick and cakey. However, The natural minerals contained in Sheer Cover lay are lightweight, and leave your skin looking natural but at the same time it covers all imperfections on the skin so your skin just looks like it's naturally that great.
Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup has a wonderful return policy so if you buy the foundation and decide that it's not for you, either it doesn't cover your imperfections well or doesn't make your skin look as good as you expected then you don't need to worry as you can return the product to the sheer cover team and get your money back.
Overall, this product is a good coverage mineral powder foundation which is especially great for those who have bad skin or are prone to break outs. I really like this product however I do prefer liquid foundations and I'm always in a rush in the morning so I need a foundation that can be applied in a few minutes. I would recommend this definitely though, and if I wasn't in such a rush in the mornings I would definitely buy this product again.
The first thing you will notice when you order this product from the TV is that you get a lot for your money. You receive a box with a lovely ribbon tied organza bag in it, and all of your products plus the bonus gifts too. The product started out as Scar coverage make up in the USA, so if you have a troublesome spot, be sure this stuff will cover it, without making you look like you have a concealer cake on your face.
What you get:
You receive 2 pots of mineral foundation in a complimenting shade to your skin tone (which you should have discussed with the representative on the phone). You get a duo concealer in two shades which again will match your skin tone and the pack you have selected. There is a brown/black mascara, a cleanser and a moisturiser. Your bonus gifts will be a set of make up brushes, a small colour compact, a lip-to-lid 6 days 6 ways sampler card in Bronze, and an instructional DVD.
Whilst you are on the phone they may ask you to join 'the plan' I did this and I was very pleased. I get a new supply of the product every 90 days (or less frequent if I choose to change it like when money's tight for example). The payments come out each month, and because you pay monthly for a 3 monthly supply, I don't miss it - however, it is a big commitment - you can actually cancel at anytime, but don't feel pressured in to getting it if it isn't for you. It is good though, because they offer a 60 day money back guarantee, so you can just try your first lot, if you don't like it, send it back and they will refund you, even if you have used all or part of the products. If you choose to return it, you get to keep your bonus gifts too which is a fantastic offer.
The Products:
Cleanser: this is very natural and gentle and suitable for most skin types. It is comforting and contains lots of nice essential oils to cleanse any make up off your face. You only need a tiny bit. It leaves your skin very soft, with hardly a need to moisturise
Moisturiser: only use a tiny bit, but ensure you do use it on any dry patches, as you do not want the mineral powder to settle in to this areas and look cakey
Concealer: use a mixture of applicators - small for precise areas, large for general cross hatching (see DVD), and your fingers to melt it into cracks and creases (sides of the nose and mouth for example
Mineral Foundation: you need to sit in natural light and blend this to your skin tone. It is very easy if you watch the DVD for instructions on how to do so. Once blended, dip the largest brush in to the powder, tap off the excess and using large circles sweep it on to your face. Less is definitely more with this product, if you put a little too much on it can be hard to go back, but by building it up a tiny bit at a time you can barely go wrong. This product is made from minerals naturally in the ground so it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin
Mascara: this is conditioning and nourishing without compromising on lengthening. It is very natural, which is the whole sense behind the mineral make up
Brushes: you get 4 'studio' quality brushes. I was a tiny bit disappointed with these as some of the bristles fell out, but they are lovely brushes, and remember they are free - the Customer Services of Sheer Cover will replace them though if you are not happy with them
Colour Pallette: this is a tiny trial size of some other Sheer Cover products which you can buy from their catalogue if you wish at a later date. There are highlighters (try using in the corners of your eyes or on your lips mixed with lip gloss), lip glosses and a cream eyeliner, which is so easy to use compared to liquid eyeliners or pencils.
Lip to Lip Sampler Card: this is 6 'dots' of highlighter to sample. It is really versatile and you can use it literally from your lips to your lids, even on your décolleté. It comes in Peach, Pink or Bronze and the sample card is in Bronze which is the most popular colour, although I much prefer the peach as I am quite fair skinned.
DVD: WATCH IT, it is annoying and cheesy, but it has loads of hints and tips on there for application, such as cross hatching method of applying concealer.
Everything else:
You get all of the above, which is classed as a 30 day supply for £29.95 plus £5.95 postage and packaging, it arrives within about 2 weeks, but they do tell you to allow up to a month for delivery. So if your in a rush, you can't get it quicker. You can return the product within 60 days, as I have mentioned, but you have to foot the delivery. If you return it within 7 days, you can send it back free, just ask for the freepost address. Customer Services are really good, they will even tell you how to use the product, as they are trained beauty experts. It's a fab follow up service and I really feel valued whenever I call them up.
Mineral make up are the buzz words at the moment. Wherever you go, whatever you watch, there is bound to be someone raving about the advantages of pure mineral make up.
For the longest time I favoured Max Factor, don't ask me why, my skin just seemed to like it despite being rather sensitive to almost all soap, creams or foundations. But over the last year or so I changed my opinion. I decided to try the new revolution of mineral make up and ordered from a number of companies, Bare Escentuals (who actually have a small booth in Selfridges on London's Oxford Street) and UK based Lily Lolo. I was fairly happy with both companies for a while, happily mixing products to make them fit my skin and lifestyle.
One night, unable to sleep I watched a couple of infomercials on one of the satellite channels. And this is how I discovered Sheer Cover® Mineral Makeup. The spokesperson for this line of make-up seems to be American television personality Leeza Gibbons (I know her name and face but can't place her in anything). Leeza had actress Alyssa Milano as a guest in the studio with her explaining the product when I saw it.
Of course, infomercials are there to sell you products but for the first time ever I was almost tempted to phone up there and then to order the product. What I saw on screen was what I was after, simplicity perfected. It seemed that Sheer Cover® Mineral Makeup was the next step up from Bare Escentuals which sometimes left my skin looking a little blotchy. If the product only delivered half of what it promised I would be delighted.
After reading up online about Sheer Cover® Mineral Makeup I decided to take the plunge and order online.
=== How to order ===
There are only two ways of ordering, by calling the telephone number on the TV screen or check out www.sheercover.co.uk (there is a US version but I doubt they will allow you to order even though it would be cheaper - they seem to take pounds for dollars so the price seems to be like for like even if the exchange rate isn't plus they offer free shipping on their products - why do UK customers always seem to lose out).
I don't know how easy the telephone ordering service is but I am sure you will be able to talk to efficient people who will separate you from your hard earned cash if you are willing to spend. I prefer online ordering and after checking out what I could get for my money, opted for the 30 day introductory kit at £29.95 plus p&p charged at £5.95.
There is the deluxe kit for £59.85 plus p&p but I wasn't going to spend that amount on a product I wasn't sure about. I was sure I would know after a month if I liked Sheer Cover® Mineral Makeup or not and didn't want to spend twice the amount in case I didn't like it (no matter if the pots were a lot bigger, if I didn't like it, it would still be money wasted.)
Of course, if you don't like the product, just pack everything up and send it back - their 60 day guarantee allows you to return the products, even if you used all the product. They will not refund p&p so you will lose out on postage.
I opted for the medium shade as it appeared to be closest to my natural skin colour and from what I read it was the best one for me. I have read and heard from customers who had very light/fair skin and found even the lightest foundation too dark.
=== Introducing the Introductory Kit ===
A few days after ordering you will receive your package via courier. The innocent looking white box contains a treasure trove of beauty delights, beautifully wrapped in a see-through white ribbon tied bag. What you will find when you untie the sheer bag is:
2 x Mineral Foundation in two shades (1.5g each) - (in the shade of your preference, light, medium, tan or dark)
Duo Concealer in two shades (1.5g) - ( will allow you to mix two creamy colours to match your skin tone closest to your own to cover up blemishes, to conceal and cover up)
Extra-Length Mascara (4ml)
Conditioning Cleanser (60ml)
Nourishing Moisturiser with SPF15 (30ml)
4 Studio Quality Makeup Brushes (not unlike the Bare Escentuals kit you receive A concealer, foundation and contouring brush but my guess it's made from animal fur and I react badly to it, have to use my own synthetic brushes to avoid red spots and blotches)
Sheer Colour® Compact (travel brush with powder compartment for on the go touch ups - very poor quality brush, constantly losing hairs from the brush, not well made at all)
6 days, 6 ways Lip to Lid Highlighter Sampler Card (a compact with brush and different lip gloss and eye shadows)
Sheer Cover® Tips & Tricks DVD (showing you how to apply the make-up, also included is brochure with more items from the range)
=== Making the best of what you've got ===
Unless you have used mineral make-up before, I would suggest to actually watch the DVD that comes with the package. It will tell you all the basics as well as tips and tricks how to apply the product. Unlike ordinary make up, it does take some getting used to, in particular to get the shades just right and making sure that the product is not too light or too dark. The DVD gives you step by step instructions.
Sheer Cover® was not the first mineral make-up I used so I was fully aware of what I needed to do, how to mix the two shades and how to apply with the supplied brushes - or in my case, use my own brushes to avoid any problems with flare ups and over sensitivity to some animal hair based brushes.
The mineral foundations arrive in two sifter pots and it is suggested to use the lids of the pots to mix your foundation in. This is all fine and well if the lids are of a larger size. The introductory offer only has small pots so swirling the brushes in the lids is often counterproductive and you are likely to brush the powder out of the lids and onto the floor. I use an old lid from a compact powder that I still have to mix the foundation to mimic my own skin shade.
At the beginning with new brushes you will notice that you need more powder than the advertised amounts (of very little). Once the brushes are sufficiently full with powder you will notice that 'a little goes a very long way'.
The instructions say to swirl the brush in the powder, then tap on the edge of the lid to get rid of the excess, then starting either at the chin and working your way around your face, or starting at the nose and working your way out, you start applying the Sheer Cover®.
I have to admit, the first couple of times I was not impressed and I was glad I didn't try it before going out for the evening but one quiet morning with nothing else to do. It took me a couple of days before I managed to get the perfect mix of the two shades and found that using my synthetic small kabuki brush was the perfect vessel to apply and build up the foundation.
Don't be fooled when the show you on television that just by lightly sweeping your foundation brush over your face you will cover all imperfections and you will look flawless and airbrushed. You have to slowly build up the layers and while it takes a good few minutes as a beginner, once you have the hang of it will be a short process and I can now apply perfect make-up in under a minute. Also, you will have to work the minerals into your skin which means you have to apply some pressure even though you might resist it at the beginning, believe me, the results are so much better.
The result, however, when you get it right, is sheer perfection. The powder will ever so slightly turn into a creamy substance and will cover and camouflage a multitude of imperfections.
I have sensitive skin that is still prone to the occasional outbreak of spots. However, since using Sheer Cover® I have not experienced flare ups.
There is no need to use a finishing powder of any kind, my skin look perfect without it and there is no need for touch ups during the day. The only time I do add an extra layer - or apply fresh - is when I am going out and need to look fresh.
My skin looks fresh and natural without 'demarcation lines' where liquid make up shows or clogged up pores.
=== It's not all gold that glitters ===
Experiencing almost flawless skin does not come cheap. When you order your first delivery you will automatically be added to the club and every three months you will receive top ups through the post costing you £59.95 plus p&p. If you wish to spread the cost you can pay in three equal instalments.
I contacted their customer service the moment I received an email alerting me that my follow up parcel was ready. I explained that is used so little that I still had more than enough to last me for another month and I asked them to hold the 'deluxe' three months supply for another month. They were happy to do that and before the end of the second month I got another email alerting me that my parcel was due to be dispatched.
Not everybody can use mineral make up and it is hard to find the perfect mix of colours, in particular if you only have two to play with, sometimes you may need more than that. I happily mix Sheer Cover® and Bare Escentuals to get the perfect colour, although the latter often dries out my skin so I do not use too much of it. I also have to be very careful not to mix it with products from the Lily Lolo range as they make my skin look like I applied talc.

=== Customer dis-service ===
I was happy for a while but lately things have gone horribly wrong. I had postponed a delivery by a month and instead of taking the money in instalments as I had requested, they took the lot. Suddenly missing £65.00 from your account when you expected no more than £25.00 was a bit of a shock.
Sending an email to the address on the Sheer Cover® website had it bounce back unanswered - in Swedish (a language I actually still speak fairly well). I called customer service, again freephone number is an advantage, and was told that they never send follow up emails confirming changes, it is up to the customer to remember who they spoke to and what was said. I work in customer services myself and we have to follow up changes in writing if there is time, or by phone all if time is too short.
What Sheer Cover® are doing is hide behind their terms & conditions when you talk to them. They are inflexible and their standard answer is "it's all on the website" or "it tells you on the back of the invoice".
I understand that I have to make sure that I remember things but it's human to forget and if a company doen't bother to update files properly then it is a receipe for disaster.
If I pay a premium I expect premium service. In the USA they offer free delivery (UK p&p is £5.95). The USA deliver via FED EX within 5-7days, in the UK you have to wait up to 28 day although delivery is normally within 14 days)
I told the customer service person that I would refuse the parcel and expect a full refund including p&p. As much as I like the product, I really do not like to be taken for a ride.

I ordered the 'special offer' sheer cover kit and the first thing that impressed me was just how much product I got for my money. It really was a bargain and gave me the opportunity to test out a range of their products without spending an absolute fortune. The products themselves were also impressive - the mineral foundation was amazing and being able to blend and customize my own shade was an added bonus. It does give 'sheer cover' and leaves the skin glowing even after the make up has been pulled off. I believe this is due to the mineral content of the product which is actually good for the skin. The concealer was outstanding and honestly one of the best I have ever used, as was the concealer brush. Once again you were provided with a 'duo' concealer which meant having 2 shades to play with and blend together to create the perfect colour for your own skin. This product alone was worth the money, as I have never before or since found anything to match it. The lip gloss and eyeshadow pallete is adorable with lovely muted tones that can be used as highlighters also - very convenient, hanbag size. Not to mention the moisturiser and cleanser that is thrown in and the travel version of their foundation brush.
There were a few disappointments though - the mascara was watery and too light for me and didn't create any impact once applied. Though this is down to personal taste.
The brushes supplied to mix, blend and apply the mineral foundation were no way near as 'soft' as the promo ad would have the customer believe and I had to send mine back due to the bristles falling out - I was provided with another brush but still was not happy with it as I found the bristles harsh against the skin.
Here is the biggest disappointmnet of all - I had ordered just ONE sheer cover kit and when asked by the operator if I would like to make regular payments in order to receive regular, monthly shipments I stated quite clearly NO because I wanted to see if I liked the product first - fair enough.
However, much to my dismay, Sheer Covers' company that handles payment - Guthy Renker - decided to completely ignore my refusal and decided to withdraw more money from my account, without my permission, for products I had NOT ordered. This left me furious and I was very quick to deal with the matter. They apologised and refunded my account in full and sent me a free gift which was nice. However, they really lost my confidence as a consumer and despite loving the majority of their products I will not be making any further purchases with them.
So be warned if you are thinking of buying this starter kit.
Ok this make up product is actually the most perfect thing on the planet. Its gental easy to apply its all very natural and its very affordable. I have being buying Sheer Cover for almost a year and a half its so good i cant get enough.
Its so good for covering up acne, birthmarks, tattoos, red patch's. The mineral powder its so concentrated and you only need a small amount because with this a little goes such a long way. Its light and when i wear it its like i dont even have make up on. You get two colours. The one i have is buff and latte and you can custome blend them to match your skin tone if either one is to dark or light. You can get all differnt powders its a brilliant little investment.
You also get a duo concealer wich is superb its soft and has brilliant coverage its 2 colours dark and light and you can also custome blend these there perfect for dark circles and red spots all sorts.
The moisteriser cream and face wash that come with it are so gental and refreshing and they have cleared my skin up and there perfume free.
The colour pallet you get with the set is also a beautiful little contraption its got 3 beautiful lip gloss's 3 beautiful hight lighters that are very flattering and then the cream eye liner thats perfect for smokey eyes or just abit of definition.
Then you have the lovely mascara that has something in it that conditioners for your hair have to prevent breakage of your eye lash's its a beautiful colour between black and brown so its not to harsh and not to soft and very natural.. and makes ur eye lash's look long and your eyes to appear much larger.
You get a small tester of bronzers and on the back of each one it says something you can do with each.. you get 6 all together and there perfect. Especially to give the illusion of natural sun kissed skin or even cheek high lighter.

Jackie O's Pub & Brewery in Athens will hold its next bottle release Aug. 17, brewer Brad Clark announced on his brewery blog. The brewery will release four beers in 22-ounce bottles:
-- Dynamo Hum, a frambroise aged 22 months in a cabernet barrel. "One of my personal favorites," Clark wrote.
-- Evelyn, a barrel-aged sour brown ale with raspberries.
-- Chunga's Old Bruin, a sour brown ale aged in oak barrels with cherries.
-- Cabernet Barrel Aged Aberrance, a black saison that was aged for six months.
"With the brewpub back up and running, there is a ton of beer on draft up town and we plan on having 30 to 38 different beers on draft for the event," Clark wrote, alluding to the fact that the brewpub had been out of commission for awhile earlier this year because of a mechanical issue.
He added that Jackie O's -- ranked this year as the 97th best brewery in the world, according to Ratebeer.com -- has signed a distributing deal with Cavalier Distributing and will start showing up more around Ohio.

BEIJING–Croatia has become one of the surprises of the men's Olympic basketball tournament, returning to the Games for the first time since 1992 and led by a group of young stars ready to get the country back to international prominence.
It has qualified for the quarter-finals and could have a shot at playing for a medal – it'll likely avoid the powerful United States in its quarter-final game – and the Olympic Basketball Gymnasium is abuzz about the resurgence.
Just don't ask one of Croatia's top players to talk too much about his role in the rise, or his game.
Roko Ukic, the young point guard being counted on to make a seamless transition from Europe to the Raptor backcourt in the coming NBA season, doesn't seem one to crow about his play.
"Up and down" was how he described it after Croatia lost 86-73 to Lithuania in its penultimate preliminary-round game yesterday. "I've got some great moments, some bad moments. With some things I am really satisfied, there are some things that can work better. I don't like to speak about my game too much."
The 6-foot-5 Ukic has been steady, if unspectacular, in the first four games of the tournament. One NBA assistant coach in attendance expects him to have the same impact in the NBA – a steady backup who will have good nights and bad in a rookie season getting acclimated to the game.
But he will join the Raptors for training camp in top condition and coming off some intense competition, which has been unusual for Croatia in the past decade.
After winning the silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics – losing to the original Dream Team in the gold-medal game – Croatia all but disappeared from the international stage.
It was a disappointing seventh at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and did not qualify for the 1998, 2002 or 2006 world championships, or the 2000 Sydney or 2004 Athens Olympics.
But hiring coach Jasmin Repesa, one of the top coaches in Europe and Ukic's coach at Lottomatica Roma last season, Croatia – once led by the likes of the late, legendary Drazen Petrovic and Toni Kukoc – once again harbours legitimate medal hopes.
"We are a weird team, we can play great games sometimes but we can disappoint ourselves, too," said Ukic.
"I think for sure we are in quarter-finals, so it's just try to keep this third position and try to play our best game of the tournament in the quarter-finals."
Croatia beat winless Iran on Monday and faces Spain in the quarter-finals.

US Week in Review - Week ending 8 November 2012
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young publications
To the Point: Proposed non-GAAP framework could make reporting easier for SMEs
The AICPA is requesting comments on a proposed financial reporting framework for small- and medium-sized privately held entities that are not required to use US GAAP. The proposed framework is intended to be less complicated and less costly to apply than US GAAP. Our To the Point publication provides a brief overview of the framework.
Technical Line: Implementing the JOBS Act - Revised
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) gives private companies greater access to capital and makes it easier for certain companies to go public. This Technical Line publication discusses key matters to consider about the JOBS Act and is updated through 1 November 2012 to include new SEC implementation guidance and the SEC's proposed rulemaking to eliminate the ban on general solicitation and advertising in certain exempt offerings. The law created a new category of issuer called an emerging growth company that can phase in certain SEC regulatory requirements during a five-year period. The law also modified triggers for public registration and reporting and encourages capital formation by requiring the SEC to conduct rulemaking to create a new category of exempt offerings of up to $50 million raised over a 12-month period and to allow the use of crowdfunding.
Updated Financial Reporting Developments on earnings per share
We have updated our Financial Reporting Developments publication, Earnings per share. This updated edition includes further enhancements to our interpretative guidance, including the earnings per share treatment of vested restricted stock units with deferred settlement provisions and instruments that may be settled in cash or stock. We also have included an example to illustrate the effect of a warrant that may be settled in cash or stock.
Technical Line: Accounting for the effects of natural disasters - Hurricane Sandy
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we are beginning to receive inquiries regarding the related financial reporting effects. Our Technical Line publication provides a reminder of existing accounting guidance that should be considered when accounting for the effects of natural disasters.
We additionally want to highlight that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it is preparing to extend filing deadlines for those affected by Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. See the SEC standard setter update within for further discussion.
Conflict minerals: 6,000 issuers could need to take action
Our new paper Conflict minerals: new rules and next steps summarizes the SEC's new reporting rules for conflict minerals, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold. Companies in the aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer products, diversified industrial products, manufacturing, power and utilities, technology and telecommunications industries use them to produce a wide variety of products.
The SEC's final rules require public companies to identify and disclose whether any of the conflict minerals they use originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or nine adjoining countries. The SEC estimates that about 6,000 public companies will be directly affected by the rule and that many private companies that supply them will be affected indirectly. Companies that need to file a Conflict Minerals Report will need to have it audited by an independent third party.

Metropolitan Herman concludes first primatial visit to Mexican Exarchate
Hundreds of faithful filled the Ascension of Our Lord Cathedral here on Sunday, January 12, 2003, to welcome His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman, Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, as he celebrated the Divine Liturgy during his first primatial visit to the OCA's Mexican Exarchate.
The faithful carried colorful buckets, bottles and even the occasional bag which they filled with holy water, which Metropolitan Herman blessed following the celebration of the Divine Liturgy.
Two days earlier, on January 10, Metropolitan Herman, accompanied by His Eminence, Archbishop Dmitri of Dallas and the South, who oversees the life of the Mexican Exarchate; Protopresbyter Robert Kondratick, OCA Chancellor; the Very Rev. David Brum, Secretary to the Metropolitan; the Rev. Seraphim Hipsch, Saint Seraphim Cathedral, Dallas, TX; John Mindala, Assistant to the Chancellor for Communications and Graphic Design; Jason Vansuch, Personal Aide to the Metropolitan; and the Very Rev. Ernestos Rios, Saint James Mission, Port St. Lucie, FL, were greeted at Mexico City's International Airport by clergy and laity of the Exarchate and a number of civic leaders. Later in the day, Dr. Javier Moctezuma Barragan, Cabinet Officer of the Mexican Government, and Dr. Alvaro Castro Estrada, General Director of Religious Associations, welcomed Metropolitan Herman and his entourage at the Government Secretariat Building. After a detailed discussion on religious life in Mexico in general and the current situation and future prospects for Orthodox Christianity in the country, Metropolitan Herman presented Dr. Barragan with icons of the Savior and the Mother of God.
After the meeting, the Very Rev. Ernesto Rios guided Metropolitan Herman on a brief tour of Mexico City, which included stops at the city's historic cathedral and a number of sites illustrating the city's Aztec roots. In the evening, Metropolitan Herman and his entourage were the guests of His Eminence, Metropolitan Anthony of the Mexico City-based Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of Mexico. Metropolitan Anthony briefed Metropolitan Herman on the work of the Archdiocese, which ministers to faithful of Middle Eastern as well as Mexican extraction. Before expressing his gratitude for Metropolitan Herman's visit, Metropolitan Anthony was presented with a set of icons to commemorate the occasion. Metropolitan Herman invited Metropolitan Anthony to visit the United States to observe the life of the Church in general and the OCA's seminaries in particular and spoke of his desire to bring about Orthodox administrative unity throughout North America.
On Saturday, January 11, Metropolitan Herman, Archbishop Dmitri, and their entourage were received by Monsignor Diego Monroy, Rector of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, who surveyed the history of the shrine's establishment centuries ago. The hierarchs viewed the historic image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which is venerated by tens of thousands of pilgrims daily, many of whom were anxious to meet Metropolitan Herman and receive his blessing.
In the afternoon, the clergy of the Cathedral of the Ascension took the entourage on a tour of the ancient city of Teotihuacan, where they viewed Aztec pyramids dating back nearly 2000 years. Later, Hegumen Alejo Antonio [Pacheco Vera], Dean of the Cathedral of the Ascension, and numerous local clergy and faithful welcomed Metropolitan Herman and his entourage to the cathedral for the celebration of Great Vespers. During a reception on the cathedral grounds following Vespers, Metropolitan Herman encouraged the clergy and faithful alike to remain steadfast in the Orthodox Faith and to persevere in their missionary efforts.
Concelebrating with Metropolitan Herman at the Sunday Divine Liturgy in the cathedral were Metropolitan Anthony and Archbishop Dmitri. During the Liturgy, Metropolitan Herman ordained Subdeacon Victorin, a monastic, to the Holy Diaconate.
At the conclusion of the Liturgy, Metropolitan Herman offered words of encouragement to the clergy and laity, praising them for their accomplishments while reminding them to continue building up the Body of Christ in Mexico City and beyond. He also presented Elisabeth Hernandez Rivera with a citation recognizing her dedication and generous commitment to the cathedral community. As the faithful came forward to venerate the Holy Cross, Metropolitan Herman presented them with icon prints of the Protection of the Mother of God.
A festive banquet followed on the cathedral grounds, during which Metropolitan Herman once again reminded the clergy and laity of their unique mission in proclaiming the Orthodox Faith in a land where Orthodox Christianity had been unknown for centuries.
"The OCA's Exarchate of Mexico traces its roots to the 1920s, when the Mexican National Catholic Church' was established as an independent entity separate and distinct from the Roman Catholic Church," according to the Very Rev. John Matusiak, OCA Communications Director. "Over the next several decades, as Mexican Church-state relations improved, the National Church, which by 1928 had claimed 120 priests and parishes in 14 Mexican states, began to dissolve. The largest remnant of the independent movement, under the leadership of the late Bishop Jose [Cortes-y-Olmos], converted en masse to Orthodox Christianity in 1972, at which time the Mexican Exarchate was established."
En route to Mexico, Metropolitan Herman stopped in Dallas, TX, where he visited the recently consecrated Saint Seraphim Cathedral and viewed progress on the cathedral's iconography. He also met with local clergy for the first time since his election as Primate of the Orthodox Church in America in July 2002.

item description:
Hydro-Tech Cyan Advanced Cutting Foam - The blue foam is designed for compounding and swirl removal. This closed cell pre-polymer foam restores oxidized and heavily swirled paint. Looks can be deceiving; the blue pad looks coarse but actually finishes with no marring. You'll achieve an almost wax-ready finish in one step. That's another way the Lake Country Hydro-Tech 6.5 Inch Foam Pads save you time.
The blue cutting foam works well with Menzerna Power Finish PO 203 and Meguiars Ultra-Cut Compound. Both polishes have great cutting power and a clean, glossy finish. Use either polish/pad combo on neglected finishes and watch the paint come to life!

Replaced the sensor, fault keeps coming back. It has to be wire related. Speedometer has always worked perfectly, along with the odometer. I am sick of seeing this CEL.
Yes, I searched, but it seems nobody came up with a definite solution to the problem...and I do not have a Bentley for mk3 or Passat. Only have a mk2 and mk4.

Report reveals high traveller suicide rates in West Dublin
The reasons for the high rate of suicide amongst the travelling community in West Dublin will be revealed in a report out today.
In the past year and a half, 35 travellers living in and around Tallaght have died through suicide.
The researchers said there were "extraordinarily high rates of suicide" amongst the group with travellers knowing four or five people who had taken their own lives.
Men and women in their mid-twenties were found to have the highest rates of suicide of all of those in the travelling community.
The report cites family break-ups, alcohol and drug abuse and domestic violence as possible reasons for the high suicide rates.
It recommends specialised suicide prevention services for the group.

Planning a wedding and working to make everything come together for one special, perfect day can be difficult. This is especially true if the people around you (the family, wedding party and guests) aren't cooperating the way you'd like them to. This is where the RSVP gripes come in at. Below, you will find some of the most common RSVP gripes and some helpful solutions to use in those situations.
Late or Missing RSVPs -
One of the biggest RSVP gripes is when they come in late, or you don't receive them at all. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do with late RSVPs, unless you'd like to give the guest an earful. However, for missing RSVPs, you should try to call the guest.
When calling, you should always assume that the invitation or RSVP card has been lost in the mail - never assume that they simply didn't care to send you their response. Simply inform the guest that you haven't received an RSVP and ask if they received an invitation and whether or not you should expect their presence. Also, if you're unable to get in touch with a guest to RSVP, simply assume that they will be attending. Having more than enough for your guests is much better than having too little.
Half RSVPs -
Another RSVP gripe is if you actually do receive the RSVP for an invitation which allows for one guest to accompany the recipient - but the recipient doesn't inform you that a guest will also be coming. This can make it difficult to get an accurate head count for the food, favors, etc. If you aren't sure whether the recipient is bringing a guest to the wedding, always assume that they are. Again, having too many chairs and places is better than not having enough.
No Reason for the Decline -
If you receive an RSVP card back and a guest has declined, but there is no reason for the decline. It can really make you want to send an RSVP etiquette guide their way. Whether they are having family problems at the time, have already committed to another event or something else, it's always nice to have some reason why they will not be attending.
When left without one, their RSVP can seem really rude and nonchalant. In this case, simply call after the ceremony and let the guest know that they were missed and that it was unfortunate that they weren't able to come. Of course, don't ask why, but it's nice to give a follow up call in any situation.
Although RSVP gripes are plentiful, these are the most common ones - and the best ways to deal with them.

This morning we had breakfast in the hotel, caught an episode of Everybody loves Raymond (Haha!) and went to reception to wait for the transfer. Much to our surprise the driver was there half an hour early and we were on our way! What this did mean was that we arrived at the port in Lembar very early too so we sat and waited to board the ferry, which was due to leave at 12 noon. We sat in a difficult to describe place - a sort of cafe room type thing but all I do know was that it was very hot! Once again the company were useless with regards to information and we were still sat there at 13.00! Apparently the sea was a bit rough so the crossing was delayed. I wasn't looking forward to six hours of rough sea and it was going to be late arriving back to Bali

Black Chicks Talking is an arts project by Australian actress Leah Purcell featuring a 2001 documentary film, a 2002 book, a stage production and an art exhibition. The film is co-directed by Brendan Fletcher and features Indigenous Australian women including Purcell, actress Deborah Mailman and politician Kathryn Hay. Following the book and film, Purcell wrote a fictionalised dramatisation under the same title.[1]
Purcell got the idea for a book featuring interviews of Indigenous Australian women following the success of her semi-autobiographical play Box the Pony.[2] After seeing the play someone suggested that Purcell find other indigenous women to tell their stories.[2] Purcell sought out nine other indigenous women who personally inspired her, some professional, some not.[2] The interviewees comprised politician and former Miss Australia Kathryn Hay, actress Deborah Mailman, netball player Sharon Finnan, United Nations youth delegate Tammy Williams, Rosanna Angus, Cilla Malone, Frances Rings, Lisa Fraser-Gooda and Rachel Perkins.[1][3] To initiate discussion, Purcell asked each woman the question "Out of the five senses, which one do you relate to and what is your first pleasurable memory of that sense?"[2] Her partner Bain Stewart gave her the idea of filming the interviews and using them as the basis for a documentary.[2] Further interviews were conducted over the telephone, particularly when participants felt uncomfortable opening up on-camera.[1] The interviews explored the topics of identity, family and culture in relation to Indigenous Australian women.[4]
Purcell used the documentary footage of the interviews as the basis for the film. Only five of the women from the book are featured in the film — Hay, Mailman, Williams, Angus and Malone.[5] In addition to the solo interviews conducted for the book, Purcell filmed the women talking over dinner at a restaurant in Sydney.[3] The documentary was finished before the book was published.[2]
Release and reception[edit]
The film premiered at the inaugural Tribeca Film Festival[6] and was shown at the Melbourne and Sydney film festivals.[3][7] It was screened on the Australian network SBS on 30 August 2002.[2] It won the Inside Film Award for Best Documentary.[8] The book was published in June 2002 by Hodder Headline Australia.[7] Realist artist Robert Hannaford painted portraits of each of the ten women[9] which, along with stills from the documentary, made up a travelling art exhibition.[7] A stage adaptation of Black Chicks Talking by Purcell and Sean Mee[who?] opened in December 2002.[4] The play is a fictional story with five female characters, one of whom, Elizabeth, is played by Purcell.[10]

Now this is one of those cases that might end up on Forensic Files or Cold Case Files. You know, someone says they accidentally shot someone, when in reality, it was cold-blooded murder. After all, this sounds pretty darn fishy.
I mean, I've seen cases on Forensic Files that sound just like this! The couple went out with friends, and for some reason, when they got home, the Fort Lewis, Washington soldier decided to teach his wife how to use a gun, and the gun accidentally discharged while she was holding it, shooting him in the head.
Deputies were called at 1:30 AM. So they decided to do the lesson at 1:00 AM or so? Like I said, really fishy, and oh, so similar to stuff I've seen on real-life crime shows. Still, it could be an accident.
Reports are the wife is not currently a suspect, but an investigation is continuing.

Change can bring either an opportunity or a setback, depending on how you handle it. This is true in life in general, but especially in regulated environments, where companies must contend with change constantly, such as evolving market conditions, stricter requirements, and tougher global competition.
The principle of "change control" in ISO standards, GMP regulations, and CE Marking standards is meant to help manufacturers ensure safe and high-quality products and services in spite of any changes in their product design, equipment, manufacturing materials, processes, computer systems, and all associated documentation.
How does your company manage change in processes and materials? How does your change control system measure up to ISO, GMP, and CE Marking requirements? If your company belongs to the manufacturing industry, or if you are a supplier or a services provider for this industry, this white paper will help you understand critical elements of change control.

KLST Thurs. 08/14/14 Noon Weather
san angelo, Texas - Today is the same story, second verse, louder and worse if you know the summer camp song. Temperatures again creeping closer to the triple digits, and with 99 yesterday, we could very well see it today. Overnight lows warming as well, dropping to the upper 60's under mostly clear skies. High pressure remains the dominate feature with temperatures peaking just in time for the weekend. As this features pushes west we're also watching for small bits of energy to move around and try to push through the north. The central plains and big country may actually get a chance for showers, but the Concho Valley looks to get the short end of the stick. Hot and dry will be the key phrases, Saturday expecting 102, 100 for Sunday and maybe some cooler temps for Monday near 99 for Monday and Tuesday.

Georg Baselitz
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (October 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Georg Baselitz (born 23 January 1938) is a German painter.
Baselitz was born 23 January 1938, as Hans-Georg Kern in Deutschbaselitz (now a part of Kamenz, Saxony), in Germany. His father was an elementary-school teacher and the family lived in the local schoolhouse.
In 1958, as a student in West Berlin Baselitz met his future wife, Elke Kretzschmar. He married Kretzschmar in 1962 and they had a son named Daniel. In 1966, his second son, Anton, was born, and the family moved to Osthofen, near Worms, and later on elsewhere in Germany and Italy.
In 1961, he adopted the name Georg Baselitz in a tribute to his home town.
Since 2013, Baselitz and his wife live in Salzburg in Austria and obtained Austrian citizenship in 2015.[1]
Baselitz attended the local school in Kamenz; in its in the assembly hall hung a reproduction of the 1859 painting Wermsdorfer Wald by Louis-Ferdinand von Rayski, an artist whose grasp of realism was a formative influence on Baselitz.[2] Baselitz read the writings of Jakob Böhme. At the ages of 14 and 15, he painted portraits, religious subjects, still lifes and landscapes, some in a futuristic style.
In 1955, he applied to study at the Kunstakademie in Dresden but was rejected. In 1956, he successfully enrolled at the Hochschule für bildende und angewandte Kunst in East Berlin. There he studied under professors Walter Womacka and Herbert Behrens-Hangler, and befriended Peter Graf and Ralf Winkler (later known as A. R. Penck). After two semesters, he was expelled for "sociopolitical immaturity."
In 1957, he enrolled at the Hochschule der Künste in West Berlin. In 1961, he attended Hann Trier's master class and completed his studies there the following year. Hann Trier's classes were described as a creative environment largely dominated by the gestural abstraction of Tachism and Art Informel.[2] At the Hochschule der Künste Baselitz immersed himself in the theories of Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich. During this time he became friends with Eugen Schönebeck and Benjamin Katz. Art historian Andreas Franzke describes Baselitz primary artistic influences at this time as Jackson Pollock and Philip Guston.[2]
In 1957, Baselitz produced his first original works in a distinct style of his own, among them the imaginary portraits "Uncle Bernhard"/ "Onkel Bernhard." In the same year, he started work on the "Rayski-Head"/ "Rayski-Kopf" series.
In 1963, Baselitz's first solo exhibition at Galerie Werner & Katz, Berlin, caused a public scandal. Two of the pictures, "The Big Night Down The Drain"/ "Die große Nacht im Eimer" (1962/63) and the "Naked Man"/ "Nackter Mann" (1962), were seized by the public prosecutor, after a friend had announced their being seized in a local newspaper - a self-fulfilling, intentional scandal. The ensuing court case did not end until 1965.
Baselitz spent the spring of 1964 at Schloß Wolfsburg and produced his first etchings in the printing shop there, which were exhibited later that year. The next year, he won a six-month scholarship to study at the Villa Romana in Florence. While there, he studied Mannerist graphics and produced the "Animal Piece"/ "Tierstück" pictures. After returning to West Berlin, he worked until 1966 on the "Heroes"/ "Helden" group, which includes the large-format composition "The Great Friends"/ "Die großen Freunde." Through early 1969, he produced further large-format "Foresters"/ "Waldarbeiter" pictures. In 1969, using Wermsdorfer Wald by Louis-Ferdinand von Rayski as a model, he painted his first picture to feature an inverted motif, "The Wood On Its Head"/ "Der Wald auf dem Kopf."
In the 1970s, Baselitz exhibited regularly at Munich's Galerie Heiner Friedrich. Most of the works he produced during this time were landscapes themed as pictures-within-a-picture. In 1970, at the Kunstmuseum Basel, Dieter Koepplin staged the first retrospective of drawings and graphic works by Baselitz. At the Galeriehaus in Cologne's Lindenstraße, Franz Dahlem put on the first exhibition of pictures with upside-down motifs. In 1971, the Baselitz family once again moved, relocating to Forst an der Weinstraße. He used the old village school as studio and started painting pictures featuring bird motifs. He exhibited several times in the next few years around Germany and also participated in the 1972 documenta 5 in Kassel. This same year he began using a fingerpainting technique. He painted landscapes until 1975, often based on motifs he would find in publications such as the ″Mitteilungen des Landesvereins Sächsischer Heimatschutz e. V.″. In 1975, the family moved to Derneburg, near Hildesheim. Baselitz visited New York for the first time and worked there for two weeks. He also visited Brazil, participating in the 13th Biennale in São Paulo.
In 1976, Baselitz set up an additional studio in Florence, which he used until 1981. In 1977, he began working on large-format linocuts. He began teaching at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe, where he was appointed professor in 1978. From 1978 until 1980, he worked on diptychs using the tempera painting technique (combinations of motifs), multipart pictures (series of motifs), and large-format individual works such as "The Gleaner"/ "Die Ährenleserin," "Rubble Woman"/ "Trümmerfrau," "Eagle"/ "Adler" and "Boy Reading"/ "Der lesende Knabe." The works became more abstract, with scriptural elements predominating. In 1980, he showed his first sculpture at the Venice Biennale.
In 1981, Baselitz set up an addition study in Castiglione Florentino, near Arezzo, which he used until 1987. His work was exhibited in New York for the first time in 1981. By 1982, he began devoting more time to sculpture, in addition to several exhibitions. In 1983, he began using Christian motifs in much of his artwork, and completed the major composition "Dinner in Dresden"/ "Nachtessen in Dresden". In the same year, he took up a new professorship at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin. In 1986, in recognition of Baselitz's achievements, he was awarded the Kaiserring by the city of Goslar. Through the 1980s, Baselitz's work was exhibited frequently in Germany. In 1989, the title Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres was conferred upon Baselitz by French Minister of Arts Jack Lang.
In 1990, at the Nationalgalerie im Alten Museum in Berlin, the first major exhibition of Baselitz's works in East Germany was staged. In 1992, he resigned from the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. In 1993, he designed the set for Harrison Birtwistle's opera "Punch and Judy," staged under the direction of Pierre Audi at the Dutch Opera in Amsterdam. He also took part in the International Pavilion at the Venice Biennale with the "Male Torso"/ "Männlicher Torso" sculpture, accompanied by oversized drawings. In 1994, Baselitz designed a stamp for the French postal service. He also produced his first ground gold picture that year. In 1995, the first major retrospective of Baselitz's work in the US was staged at the Guggenheim in New York City. This retrospective was also exhibited in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. Throughout the 1990s, his work was exhibited frequently throughout Europe. In 2002, a retrospective of Baselitz's work was shown in Art Gallery of Yapı Kredi Bank in Istanbul.
During this time, Baselitz lived and worked near Munich and in Imperia in Italy.
His work was exhibited in London, at the Royal Academy of Arts in late 2007, and in the White Cube gallery in 2009.
From 21 November 2009, to 14 March 2010, the Museum Frieder Burda and Baden-Baden's Staatliche Kunsthalle exhibited a comprehensive survey of the artist, featuring approximately 140 works. "Baselitz. A Retrospective" was also presented at the two neighbouring museums, with the Museum Frieder Burda displaying "50 years of painting", the Staatliche Kunsthalle "30 years of sculpture".
In a 2013 interview, Baselitz was quoted as saying, "women don't paint very well. It's a fact. There are, of course, exceptions." Citing the comparative lack of commercial success of work by women painters in the most expensive markets as proof, he stated, "Women simply don't pass the test. (...) The market test, the value test." [3]
Baselitz's statements elicited rebuttals from art historians and critics, including Sarah Thornton, author of Seven Days in the Art World, who countered, "[t]he market gets it wrong all the time. To see the market as a mark of quality is going down a delusional path. I'm shocked Baselitz does. His work doesn't go for so much."[citation needed]
The record then for a painting by Baselitz was £3.2 million, while the record for a painting by Yayoi Kusama, a female artist, was £3.8 million.[4]
In the 1970s, Baselitz became famous for his upside-down images. He is seen as a revolutionary painter as he draws the viewer's attention to his works by making them think and sparking their interest. The subjects of the paintings don't seem to be as significant as the work's visual insight. Throughout his career, Baselitz has varied his style, ranging from layering substances to his style, since the 1990s, which focuses more on lucidity and smooth changes.[5]

Those of us with a strong techie heart no doubt have a vision of the future where everyone is seamlessly connected to the Internet, but it appears we're living in something of a self indulgent bubble...
According to newly released figures by the Office for National Statistics, the UK has reached a new high where 65 per cent of the population (or 16.46m) homes now have access to the Internet. As you might expect broadband took up the vast majority of this too with 86 per cent of those who have home Internet using a broadband connection (a noticeable contradiction however on the ONS's previous figures.
Of course there is a flip side to this coin however and that is home Internet access in the UK has only improved by four per cent compared to last year while the overall percentage of the UK population using broadband to access the web is up just five per cent to 56 per cent despite services being cheaper than ever.
So what's the differentiator? Comment-chaos-causing this may be but the ONS says the key factor is education. Of adults under 70 who have a degree or equivalent qualification it says an incredible 93 per cent have Internet access in their home. For those under 70 without this scholarly achievement in their locker the figure is just 56 per cent.
What can we draw from this? Personally I'd say the picture isn't quite as clear as obvious: smart people use the Internet.
Instead numerous factors come into play such as the current Credit Crunch the extra money graduates tend to earn may be allow them to keep so-called luxuries. How about people living in rented accommodation? Financially again that number is likely to have a slightly higher proportion of people without degrees and they may be less inclined to wire up a place they view as temporary. Then there's grey areas like students who get free Internet access at University which takes away some of the need to have it at home - plus they're broke!
In all likelihood this is just the tip of the iceberg too... and yes ONS, education is another factor.
Still, it seems a shame that this overall 65 per cent figure isn't higher (or rising more quickly) since the Internet can greatly improve and facilitate people's everyday lives if they know how to use it correctly.
Any ideas for spreading the Webby love?

Maggie was a very traditional bride and wanted Jake to see her for the first time as she walked down the aisle. He was truly beaming when he saw her. I was thrilled to shoot this winter wedding with my talented friend, photographer Julia Auerbach (juliaauerbachphotography.com).

paint ?
1 Attachment(s)
am working on my stepside and as I work I check out other paint jobs that look good. Found this picture and im sold'' Can any one tell me how he did this? Black with highlights, think it's called black cherry.Want to do the same thing but use house of collor, manderin orange in place of brandywine. Can any one help? thanks, dirtyfingers
Sure Can. House of Kolour has many formulas for a candy colour paint job. This is achieved by putting down a base colour, in this case probably black, after the base has flashed a mid coat of transparent "red" or "Orange" or whatever is applied. This is the tricky part because the mid coat or the transparent coat needs to be put on evenly over the entire vehicle. Failure to do this will give you an uneven colour in certain parts of the paint job. When I do these I generally walk the car as I'm spraying, paying close attention to the overlap of my spray pattern to assure an even coat. When the mid coat has flashed, I apply the clear coat, usually 4 - 5 coats depending on the depth I am trying to achieve and to give me enough product for colour sanding and polishing.
Paint is expensive, House of Kolour is no different. PPG has a palette of many cool colours usually found in the "Vibrance" line. If you have a specific effect you are looking for, find a good Jobber, be it PPG or what ever company your going to use.
If you need more information let me know and I will do my best to walk you though it in more detail. Might even be able to give you information on dyes to use in your mid coat to get the effect you are looking for.
thank's for the answer. how much of a mid coat,light spray,wet ? And do ,or can you put kandy consitrate in clear to give it more depth,or is this what you are calling the mid coat? Im assuming when you said transparent this would be clear with kandy mixed in.
I would not put the candy colour in the clear coat, you would loose your depth in the paint job and if you ever get in an accident or a chip, repairing your paint job is extremely difficult. The mid coat is achieved by putting a dye or a small amount of a transparent toner in a clear and transparent product compatible with the original ground base. In PPG Deltron the part number is DBC500.
black cherry
Back in the late 50's a kid I went to High school with painted his car black cherry and dyed his hair to match.
Ok I got it, nothing in the clear,test for the right effect, but im still a little unclear[pun], as to get the right mid coat mix.
A good paint jobber will either know what you want or will get the information to you. Most paint companies have the products you need. I'm not trying to preach PPG, but they have a wide palette of options for you with dyes and toners. From product lines like Deltron, Global and Envirobase (Water Bourne). Less money than House of Kolor with great effect. Nexa and Dupont have these products available also. It all comes down to your paint supplier. They can get it, they have formulas, if they don't they can make it. It's how hard will they try for you. If you came to my store (I don't have one but if I did) I'd make it for you. When I was a rep I did it many times, did it because I enjoyed it, and made lots of life long friends.
I didn't know guys dyed hair in 50. And I will ask about the makeup of the mid coat from paint dealer rep. The only reason I looked at house of colour is I can't find apaint that looks like manderin orang kandy that thay have. It comes in consitrates and I didn't know if you make your mid coat with it. Im just a guy that has painted base coat clear coat, so im new at this. I also was told that the consintrates can be used with any paints. I was going to H.O.K. kandy with diferent brand system.
As far as concentrates go, most have a similar version of what H of K has. PPG uses a universal dye system that works in all their products including water base. Yes the concentrate in H of k should be able to be used in any paint, but, before I'd buy the concentrate or "dye" I would explore your paint suppliers. If you don't have a gram mixing scale how much you put in one time may not be exactly what you put in the next, changing your colour, costing you a pile of money and time in starting over.
If you check my posts, I always preach, SUPPLIER, SUPPLIER, SUPPLIER.
ok that answers all my questions,Im going to let the experts have it.I have a PPG rep. 45 min. from me in fort wayne In. Not ready,but if I don't get my answers ,when I am, murffys law wil kick in. Thanks for all the help.
All the Best.
