:ph34r: Uh-oh......if that's cult status.......I'd better slink away real quite like. :lol:

I don't wear makeup that often right now.....I imagine I'll eventually get into the routine of wearing it more though.

Yeah, but keep in mind that I own practically EVERYTHING they sell, lol! After spending all that cash (even at the bargain that it is), I'd BETTER wear it often, lol!

How can you see what you put in your kit once it is full? I clicked all over the items in my shopping cart, but can't figure out how to do this.

It has been so long since I filled them that I can't remember what I put in them.

I'm baaaaacccckkkk! :lol:

Well, I only ended up wearing makeup on the flight over to Las Vegas, lol. I DID take some with me, but it was so hot there and the air conditioning was doing a number on me, so I felt like I needed to wash my face all the time. So, I'm back to work today and back to normal makeup routine. :P

So glad you are back Donna :D Well at least you had your make up with you if you needed it.

Yesterday I did something different. I put green concealer all over my red ruddy spots, then a layer of pick me up pink on top of that, and then my foundation. It really worked out great.

Oh and I got Salon Fun with my order, not that other one they were giving out as a freebee (drawing a blank on the name of that color), but I wore that yesterday and I like it.....not sure if it is my favorite, but I do like it.

It's kind of a rose-ish color, I'm terrible at trying to describe colors....

Hi and welcome Beth :)

I finally got my makeup yesterday! :D :D

And a RAVE review for the Start to Finish powder with kaolin clay. Normally I wear several layers of both matte and intensive foundation, but today I kinda ran out of time to put my makeup on before I went to Dagorhir practice (read: lots of running around and sweating in the humid heat). :P I buffed on two layers of the Start to Finish powder and two of intensive foundation. I was sweating like nobody's business and usually all my makeup runs off, but I looked in the mirror a few minutes ago (all the sweat has dried off now :P) and I just look kinda "dewy" with all foundation intact! :lol: It's awesome! :lol:

After reading a bunch of these posts and having an issue with Cover Girl/P&G, I went online Thursday and put in my order for my free kit--I got it on Saturday!!!! I am now an EM fan. The 1st color I picked for my foundation was PERFECT, the bronzer gives just the right amount of color and the concealer (I used wet) exceeded my expectations-I have naturally dark under-eyes. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE that it feels like I'm wearing nothing and even after my Krav class last night where I probably sweat 3 cups from my face (seriously-no exaggeration...) my face still looked great. If it wasn't for my clothes looking like I just jumped in a lake, I would have felt comfortable going to the grocery store :lol::lol:

Thanks so much! I AM a believer :D

Yay Rachelle!!!! Woo hoo! I still love this stuff even after several months.

Hi Rachelle, I'm glad you decided to give EM a try, it's so much fun to hear from a happy customer!

What bronzer did you get if I may ask?

celiac-mommy Collaborator
What bronzer did you get if I may ask?

It was in the blush selection-just called bronzer. I tried to get on the website to find out exactly, but the site won't open for some reason. I'll keep trying and see if I can get any more info...

Are we doing swaps? I have two full size 'fair' foundation, one matte, one intensive (i think) that I got while I was anemic and the color of a dead fish. Now that I have a few more red blood cells, this stuff is way too light for me. Is there someone with a naturally creamy complexion that wants it??

um, not to imply that anyone interested is the color of a dead fish or anything.... :ph34r:

It's called EVERYDAY Bronzer. I put it on T-zone under the foundation and a little on the cheeks instead of blush, gives a soft sun-kissed glow without the shiny.

This cracked me up Jess! :lol::lol:

Sounds too light for me, but thanks for the offer. maybe someone else will take you up on it.

Glad you have some color back in your complexion, those red blood cells work wonders :D

Thanks Rachelle, that's one I have been wanting to try! Sounds pretty :)

Ok, so I know I am a little late in figuring out my colors but I think I have found my everyday look. I tried Sunkissed fair foundation today (after using Multi-Tasking from the cool category before) I still have shades in Buff to try and I am thinking I might need to try the Warm category as well. I really don't think I have my perfect match yet.

Eh, jury is still out on Sunkissed Fair. But what I am firm on is Weekend Getaway as my blush, love it!

On my eyes I use Cliche as a brow bone highlighter (works perfect for me , no gray at all) Ginger Peach all over the lid, and Wild Flowers in the crease and in the corners. Then brown mascara to finish it off.

As far as concealers I use them all :lol: I put mint around the corners of my nose becasue I get red there, then buff a light layer of mint all over, Sunlight under my eyes, then a layer of Pick Me Up Pink buffed all over that, then my foundation buffed over that.

Oh, and I tried TInted Silk Dust today (I ordered a sample) and I think I like it.

I have been playing around with the concelors to. I have been using mint then put on pick me up pink over it. It kinda gets rid of the green effect lol

I love sunkissed fair in intensive. It is an perfect match. Have u tried the new peach color, i love that one to.

I need to try wild flowers with those colors. Lately i have been doing cliche all over then pink pajamas)did u see that is dicontinued) and then smokey pink in the crease.

I also love tinted silk dust, i use that after it all. Today i used the start to finish sunlight and it looked pretty good to lol

How often do you all clean your brushes? I try to wait at least 5min after I put on my eczema creams to put on my makeup, but mine become goopy really quickly. After that, no matter how much I buff it looks like I'm wearing plaster. :rolleyes: I think at least a once-a-week, if not twice-a-week cleaning is my fate. :P

Reading right along........

I have a lot to learn about makeup application with this stuff......when I wear it.

Jess,

I'm fair, but I don't know that I'm that fair....

I'd be happy to send them to you so you can try them out...

I clean mine about once a month I think. I have two sets so that I can really wash them good and use the other set while the first is drying...I let them dry at least two or three days. I don't use a heavy cream on my face...need to use an oil free acne moisturizer, so that probably helps them to not get goopy, but they can get bacteria I think. I DO have a problem with breakouts so I try to keep them fairly clean just for that reason.

To clean them I use liquid castille soap (Dr. Bonner's).

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
