I'm debating whether or not I should order.....I'm not sure if I am interested in all the freebies for this special and is a 5% discount really worth it? What if the next special contains free brushes???

Yeah, I figured if it's anything like it's been the next offer won't go up for a couple of weeks. By then I'll have a bunch more stuff I want anyway. I'm getting to the point where I'll be wanting to order some full sizes of my favorites, plus the brushes I want but don't have yet. And, I figure 5% is better than nothing, since a day or so ago, I was going to order anyway. :P

It sounds like Silk Dust is good stuff, an excellent primer, keeping the minerals in place and set, controls oil....

Am I right?

Well, I don't have the silk dust yet, but am ordering it...or did I order it...or is that the one in my wish list kit...I'm so confused. :lol: I have the finishing powder (I keep calling it dust, it's powder though).

Wow, great information. I tried the Tinted Silk Dust under my foundation today and it really does look great! Maybe it will work under my eye shadow and help it last longer?

Seems to really work on the eye. My left eye STILL has NO creasing (9 hours later)...the right eye is all splotchy, lol. I have very oily eyelids, so creasing is a problem with almost everything and every line of products, so for the left eye to not be creased is something. :P

So i just wanted to let everyone know I GOT MY STUFF TODAY!!!! it was there waiting for me when i got home on lunch!! so I will let you all know what i will be wearing tomorrow, when i get to work!!! now if only the other w-2 would come in...lol

Yay!!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

YAY Jodi, glad you got your order!

Well, I don't have the silk dust yet, but am ordering it...or did I order it...or is that the one in my wish list kit...I'm so confused. :lol: I have the finishing powder (I keep calling it dust, it's powder though).

:huh::huh:

Ok, now I am confused.

It is Finishing Dust, I have this also (the equivalent to BE Mineral Veil).

I thought you were talking about the Silk Dust, but I guess that was Mango and Jess??

Unless there is a Finishing Powder in a face color/blush or color corrector/concealer??

:huh:

Well, the way I figure it, with my excellent math skills :D , 5% doesn't even make a difference since they upped the total after discount to $35, UNLESS you were planning to get way over $35 to begin with? So you are actually buying more and paying more :lol: ....right??

Oh well, it's totally affordable anyhow, I mean $4-$8 containers that will last forever and ever.

I might have just talked myself into ordering :lol:

Well, it's in the Finishing Powder section, but it doesn't say it's a dust...I have Natural Reflection Fair...don't really know if it's a dust or a powder, lol, but since some of the others say "dust" I figured this was a "powder", lol. :lol:

Now, I'm confused too. :lol:

:lol: (Pssst, yeah, I was planning to get way over $35 anyway :P )

Mango04 Enthusiast

Okay now I'm confused too :lol::blink::wacko::lol:

There is a finishing powder called "Finishing Dust." That's the one with corn starch.

Then there's finishing powder called "Natural Reflections"

There's also finishing powder called "Silk Dust."

Sooo...I think Donna is using Natural Reflections finishing powder????

:lol:

Green12 Enthusiast
Sooo...I think Donna is using Natural Reflections finishing powder????

Yes, it sounds like it.

And I am using Finishing Dust, from the Finishing Powder section.

Thus the confusion, I thought she was talking about Finishing Dust, she thought I understood she was referring to her Natural Reflections Finishing Powder. I just assumed anything called Finishing was the Finishing Dust

It's all very confusing, French, oui, de ja vous

My bad!

I went ahead and ordered. I want it here before I go out of town next week.

I was just happy to see a special at this point. It included things that I would not have ordered, so who knows I might like them. I didn't seem to do so great at picking things out myself, lol.

mftnchn Explorer

I'm using tinted silk dust as both primer and finishing powder and like it.

Sherry

Well I ordered but not enough to get the extra gift items. I am running low on the foundation I am now using as all I had was a sample.

So I got a mini kit and a sample kit:

Sun-kissed fair foundation, two small and one sample

two other lighter foundation samples

Splendid and Morning Cup blushes

Cherry Fizz lip gloss

Good China and Cool Breeze eye color

I am still playing with the colors, so look forward to getting all of these.

oooo fun order. I love Morning Cup. I wear it as blush and eyeshadow. It's a great brown for cooler skin (no orange in that one) :D

mftnchn Explorer

Good, I was hoping there was no orange! I've been using Wild Flowers for eyelid, I am thinking this might be similar but with more shimmer.

I am hoping the original glo will help. Today I forgot my extra moisturizer before putting on my makeup and I had the fine lines again even with the same color foundation. <_<

My EM came yesterday! I got Fairly LIght foundation, All Smiles blush, and Cool Pink finishing powder. Didn't order any eye shadow b/c my husband has started questioning me about all the shadows I already have and how am I ever gonna use them up! Will let you know how I like it! ;)

dlp252 Apprentice

Okay, today's new product: Eyebrow color. I ordered two, a darker and a lighter brown...I'm wearing the lighter brown. I originally ordered it thinking it would be a good eyeliner or smokey brown shadow, but I'm wearing it as it's intended too, lol. So I've got it on my eyebrows and on as a smokey liner. Looks great both ways. The color is Medium Brown I think. I can't imagine what the darker one will look like...the medium is pretty dark. :P I think I might also now order a lighter one as well.

Also have finishing POWDER :lol: all over my face today as a primer and also as a finishing powder. :P

Good morning ladies! I got my sample kit yesterday. I ordered the multi-tasking concealer, Multi-tasking Neutral in Original Glow, and fair and fair medium in Intensive for foundation, and corner office for blush. I LOVE corner office....I'm wearing it on my eyes, too. The concealer seems too light, I look like I have reverse racoon eyes. I like the foundation colors; I used Multi-Tasking last night, and it was nice, and today I mixed the other two, and they look good. I don't think I'm applying it right though, it just doesn't seem to cover well enough...perhaps it's my brush? It's a crappy one from Target, very floofy. It also seems to really show all the fine lines around my eyes....and I moisturized twice before applying this morning. What can help that? Silk dust underneath, I think I read? I'm about to order an I Can't Believe It kit and a few lips glosses. I think I'm getting:

Lips:

Cherry Fizz

Spring Pink

Eyes:

Starry Eyed

In The Garden

Cherry Fizz

Smokey Eyeliner

Face:

Nick Nack

Best Friends

Text Message

Accessories:

oval concealer brush

new flat top brush

Foundation:

multi-tasking neutral and fair in original glow

Concealer:

Sunlight Color Corrector

Finishing Powder:

Finishing Dust

What do you guys think of those products, if you have them?

Thanks!!!

dlp252 Apprentice

Shannon, FUN order!

So here's what I think of the products

Lips:

Cherry Fizz -- Like this one the best of all the glosses

Spring Pink -- too light for my complexion apparently, I may try it one more time with some clear gloss over it to see if that helps

Eyes:

Starry Eyed -- LOVE this!

In The Garden -- Pretty good, like it too

Cherry Fizz -- VERY nice and also looks good as a blush

Smokey Eyeliner --LOVE this too!

Face:

Nick Nack -- almost tied for my most favorite color blush...it's just slightly below Pink Ribbon, but only slightly

Best Friends -- haven't tried yet

Text Message -- haven't tried yet

Accessories:

oval concealer brush -- Haven't tried this yet

new flat top brush -- Not tried yet

Foundation:

multi-tasking neutral and fair in original glow -- I've got it in Matte and like it very much.

Concealer:

Sunlight Color Corrector -- LOVE this...my new best friend, lol. Really takes the dark circles away for me.

Finishing Powder:

Finishing Dust -- haven't tried this yet, but I have a finishing powder and like it very much

Shannon, I've been dealing with the fine lines issue too.

Try very small light coatings, then repeat them, buffing in well.

Try a lighter foundation. I first liked multi tasking, but am now using sun kissed fair and have less lines if I moisturize well. I am also using semi matte but am going to try original glo which I hope will help.

I also added a moisturizer, so I use two.

Be sure your skin care is including enough exfoliation btw.

I am still trying to find the trick...but did get a couple days without lines recently.

Sherry

Mango04 Enthusiast

For the folks dealing with fine lines....try applying your foundation wet. You only need a tiny bit of water and a tiny bit of minerals...and it's like a magic eraser! I love it! :D

Whoever suggested using the new car smell as an eyeshadow - fabulous!! Works perfect for casual friday. I also brushed a bit into my eyebrows to complete the 'autumn' color scheme.

hum...that is a good idea.

So you all would not believe (okay maybe you would by now) how many colors I had to use to achieve my no make-up casual Friday look today :rolleyes::lol:

Multi-tasking intensive foundation applied wet

DVR blush (this one instantly fades and turns brown/orangish on me :huh: )

Daydream blush

Light Pink blush

Intensive Fair concealer

Sunlight concealer

Pots and Pans eyeshadow

Bedtime story eyeshadow

Finishing Dust

Hey it's only three blushes and two eye shadows :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I don't think I'm applying it right though, it just doesn't seem to cover well enough...perhaps it's my brush? It's a crappy one from Target, very floofy.

A stiffer brush works best for foundation/face color with mineral make-up, like a kabuki brush or a flat top brush.

For basic coverage start with just a little bit of minerals and work it into your brush, tap off the excess and then buff all over your face, in small circles. The buffing makes all the difference. Repeat with another layer if needed.

Then there all kinds of other tricks and tips for your desired coverage beyond that, for example applying the foundation wet, applying a finishing powder under the foundation, or a concealer, etc. You can play with that to figure out what you like best.

Your flooffy brush might be ideal for blush :)

Morning Cup sounds good--I may have to try that too.

Sherry's point about exfoliating is a great tip. I've gotten back into doing this, and it makes a difference.

I agree Patti.

Thanks Sherry for bringing that up!

I have an Apricot Facial Scrub that I use and it really helps slough off those dead skin cells.

The result is a smoother makeup application :)

I have been using Dove's Energy Glo Exfoliating Face Wash for a week now, and like it very much.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again
