Love it. dust it on lightly mixed with mint (mixed together in the lid) or just by itself. It seems to make the next layer of foundation soooooo much nicer

So Jestgar, would this be good to use as a primer under foundation only--I don't use a color corrector.

I like the silk dust too. If my skin was nice I would probably order some tinted silk dust and just wear that instead of foundation. It gives a really smooth and pretty finish.

I am loving how good my skin looks since I have been using the lavendar everyday everywear as a night treatment on the dry spots.

This is good to hear Colleen :)

And to think they were going to discontinue the Silk Dust :blink:

But they didn't get an answer back.

ooooh ooooh I know the answer! :D

Silk Dust = pure silk plus black currant powder (the black currant powder is a new addition that causes slight grainy-ness, which in turn caused some unhappy customers, which is why they considered discontinuing it, I think. Unless Carina was just trying to trick everybody into admitting that they still actually loved the silk dust. :lol:

Finishing Powder = corn starch plus some minerals. The is more like BE's Mineral Veil. It gives a nice airbrushed, flawless look, but some people don't like putting cornstarch on their face.

I think silk dust is more like a primer/skin treatment/moisture enhancing and oil absorbing product, while finishing dust just creates a pretty finish. I like the way finishing dust looks and I use it more than silk dust, but silk dust is probably better for the skin..

....um what was the question again, and what the heck am I talking about? :blink::lol:

eh, they also said they would release a new pressed powder shade every week, and that never happened. I think they're just busy gearing up for some huge changes over there, and I think we're going to like them when they are finally revealed. :D

p.s. I really like my pressed powder. I carry it around in my purse for touch ups. It's heavy foundation coverage, but some oil blotter papers plus a dab of pressed powder is perfect for a mid-day "face revival" LOL. Just thought I'd share. :P

I emailed them on Monday to ask about a return I made, and also ask when the next special would be out. They answered the question about the return, but made no mention of the special. I can sort of understand why they are not saying when they will post a new one, but I really want a new special! it makes so much difference in what I can and will buy.

Oh - and I like that this makeup is gluten free. I figure we have to keep mentionin gluten to keep this thread out of "Gab land". I don't have time to count farts. :)

Thanks for the explanation, Mango. I think I get the difference--I have Mineral Veil, and to tell you the truth, I'm not that thrilled with it. It always "showed" on my skin, and I thought the whole idea of it was to just give a finished look--not have a presence itself.

Plus, I went through a period of almost 2 years where I needed to cut out corn, as I was intolerant. I didn't want to wear it, either, so it has just sat in my makeup box.

I think I'll like the Silk Dust better. :)

Yeah, you probably would.

For anyone wanting pure silk powder, you can get it from The Conservatorie. $6 for a whole oz (that's a really good deal).

Ah, poopies....now I want SILK DUST (and the pure silk powder sounds really good). :lol: j

Those were the days....70 pages ago...when we were all capable of ordering only $3.97 worth of make-up from EM..... LOL

Ah the good ole day. :lol: Day = not a typo... :lol: It lasted only 1 day for me. :P

I am a newbie, and still not capable of a little order...its going to be hard when i do my sisters samples, cuz i am going to want to get stuff for myself too....

Yep, from day 2 onward, lol.

Love it. dust it on lightly mixed with mint (mixed together in the lid) or just by itself. It seems to make the next layer of foundation soooooo much nicer

Must try this...when I get it that is.

Gawd--you already answered my stupid question! I need to read more carefully :ph34r:

OMGosh Patti, you are seriously cracking me up today, lol! I'm going along minding my own business happily reading and then POW you hit us with something like this. :P

Oh, same for me...the mineral veil ALWAYS showed on me...I hardly ever used it, but I LOVED the brush I got with it, lol.

Forgot to mention...does anyone else notice that different colors, as in blush or eye shadow look different with different foundations?

Maybe this just applies to me since I have four different colors of foundation that look good on me and that I use regularly, but I noticed today that Favorite Hoodie, which I loved last time I used it, didn't look quite as nice today, and the only thing I can think of that is different is the color of foundation I was wearing...well that and the fact that I didn't get any sleep last night and my body is probably spewing toxins as we speak. :P So I'm thinking I need to revisit all the colors I haven't been gaga over and see if they look better with the other foundations, lol.

That's what I think about other websites too. None of them are quite as great as EM's.

Putting on the foundation wet makes it really smooth, and the coverage is a bit heavier I think (but in a good way). It's also less messy that way, and it hides pores really nicely.

I tried it out today, and OMG my skin looked so good! Up close you could really see that I was wearing makeup, though. I tried applying eyeliner wet too, and I really liked that. It's much easier and less powder winds up on my cheeks that way.

All this talk of ordering...I must confess I considered ordering today anyway, even without a special, but I KNOW I'd kick myself it they put up another one anytime this week, lol.

I....I did order today. I just couldn't wait any more.

Now there's gonna be a special tomorrow, I just know it! :blink:

You would have so much fun making your own nail polish shades! :D

Did you guys have any idea how many mineral make-up companies there are??? It seems like there are hundreds of them all of a sudden! Maybe I should start one! LOL

Making your own nail polish sounds so fun! I had to click away from that pretty quick because I already have a ton of nail polish....

I had no idea how many mineral makeup companies there were. I'd heard of BE, and I kinda knew there were some others, but wow! Look, there's even one for people who like cats: Open Original Shared Link I think that one is my next favorite after EM, 'cause they just took their theme and really ran with it! :lol:

Patti, that's how I've been using it for several months. I like it. Then I also finish with a light dust of this.

When I first started using it I noticed it helped clear up blemishes.

Interesting, Donna. I didn't notice this but it makes sense. What I noticed was that some of the colors that I wear in clothing that are really good for me...didn't look so good with certain foundations. I haven't tried the other blushes with the foundation I am now using (sun-kissed fair), but I will now.

I am thinking that I need to move as much toward the lilac/purple hues as possible for blush color, and maybe eye? Has anyone tried Splendid??

Hey all!

Just came from the EM website and some changes are being made. They are adding a Wish List Button to several sections. Very cool!

I did add some stuff to my cart at Monave - I'm sure I will be ordering from them some time...and nail polish is in my cart. lol!

Now to catch up on the posts here.

So, after reading Joni's post, I went over to PLAY with the wish list thing, lol. I tried putting one of the kits in there, but it didn't work...I think it was the personal mini kit, but I put two other kits (full sized products) in there and it worked. So I've got the 6-piece full size kit going in there now, lol. I have just two more products to add, but I can't decided...

The pressure is getting to me... :lol:

Ack, what shall I choose! :P

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
