May I vent for a moment about a totally non-make-up related topic? Thanks, because I don't feel like starting a new thread. :rolleyes: So, I just moved into a new apartment, and guess what is all over my kitchen? ... seriously....alllll over it......

....Satan...sorry, I meant seitan (is that how you spell it?) :lol:

Of all the foods a person might be able to subsist on, why must my roommate choose pure vital wheat gluten? It is all over the fridge....and there are several packages of it in the freezer, just waiting to be defrosted and distributed to every surface in the kitchen. Seriously, there's probably one person in the entire Czech Republic who even eats seitan (I didn't think they even had vegetarians here lol) and I end up living with her. ug.... <_<

I must move.

Okay, anyway.....

Have you ordered a free sample kit from EM yet? If not, you should! EM discloses all of their ingredients :D

No, I don't mind your vent; I love the girly chattiness of this thread. ;)

I just find out about EM on this thread a few minutes ago, and I am unemployed and broke at the moment, so you can bet I am going to order my free samples today! Thanks ladies.

Don't feel bad Mango04; I live with the Pillsbury Dough-boy Baker, lol. If I give up trying to find a decent professional job and funding for graduate school, I'm going to trade my chips in and go teach English in Hungary or the Czech Republic. I'll come looking for you if that's the case. :lol:

Yeah, I've ordered a few of the free sample kits! You just pay the $3.95 shipping.

I starting using Bare Essentials a few years ago because regular makeup started reacting...then a couple of years ago I started reacting to the BE too, so I was really happy to find this makeup! So far so good!

Now that I'm over venting about it I kind of just think it's funny. Seriously, who eats pure chunks of gluten? LOL and how did I end up living with the one person who does? :blink:

:lol: awesome. We can have our own little gluten-free club in the Czech Republic. LOL It is very easy to find a job here. It is not easy, however, to find a gluten-free apartment LOL, or a street to walk down where pastries and bread rolls aren't practically raining down on you. :lol: The gluten-free pasta is good though - straight from Italy yum! :)

am starting to notice the TESOL courses with an eye cast abroad. I will PM you if this gets serious.

I think I am the only one who has good luck with DHL, lol! I usually get my stuff in about 4 days from the date I order.

The kits were up this morning on the new site, but I can't add anything to them...I got some kind of warning about my computer not allowing cookies and you need cookies to add stuff to the cart. I do have cookies allowed, but it's restricted so later on I'll figure out how to okay it just for that beta website.

You should try the Natural Reflections finishing powder. It doesn't have corn starch in it but gives a nice finish with an added boost of coverage :D

I can't find it on the site, and I'm afraid 153 pages is a LITTLE much for me to read at work. XD

Does anyone mind sharing what gram sizes are for the "small" and "large" eyeshadows are?

In fact, does anyone mind sharing the gram sizes of the foundations and blushes, too?

Thanks ever so much in advance!

Yeah, I stopped using a finishing dust and went to silk dust...my skin seems to like it better. I wasn't breaking out so much as it just felt weird.

I think the "small" eyeshadows are 2 gms. Don't quote me but I think the full size eyeshadows are 6 gms. The samples come in the same size as the small or mini size, but there is only about 1gm or so of product in there.

I think the "small" sizes in blush and foundation are probably 6 grams and the large 8 grams. The samples are probably less than 1 gram, but still PLENTY to get an idea of how you will like it. I used one of the sample foundations for a couple of weeks I think. BUT, if your name is MANGO, you might not last that long. :lol: j/k Mango

Mini Blushes: 2.5 grams

Large Blush: 6 grams

Same for concealer.

Mini Foundation: 2.5 grams

Large Foundation: 8 grams

Mini Finishing Dust: 3 grams

Large Finishing Dust: 9 grams

Mini Eye Color: 1 gram

Large Eye Color: 3.5 grams

I hope that answers your question about size. :) Just so you know, it shows the size of them on the old site, near the bottom of the page for each kind of make up (eg, concealer, foundation, etc.)

I've rather been avoiding saying this, but it really does have to be said: I've developed eczema on my face. :( At this point the flat top brush and any sparkly blush is completely out, but my skin seems to improve minutely when I wear foundation vs. when I don't.

It is very frustrating, though. Takes quite a bit of joy out of makeup. <_<

I'm sorry Birdy. :(

I get eczema on my eyelid so I know what you're talking about, at least a little. It is not fun, and does take the joy out of makeup.

Thanks Kassandra...I'm at home today so am on a SLOOOOOOWWWWW dial up connection and the thought of going over there to get the actual weights was too much for me today. :lol:

Birdy, I'm so sorry!!!!! I want everyone to have fun with this! :angry:

Sorry Birdy, I have some high on my forehead now and NOTHING can cover it up!

Anyone else slipping into their old ways of not tapping the brush before applying? I do great with foundation but sometimes skip the concealer and get eye shadow all over my cheekbones. I think I'm in to much of rush to deal with the opening and closing of each separate item.

I have gone back to some of my old products, that are gluten-free, anyone else using both EM and old stuff?

Yeah, sometimes I don't tap, lol. For me it's just lazyness, lol, I'm just too darned lazy to tap! :lol:

I haven't gone back to my old stuff because that really did cause breakouts for me, but I use all my old lipgloss plus a ton of new ones I keep buying. :P

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
