Yeah, I've read a lot of complaints on their forum about the shipping issues. Fortunately for me I've received all my orders within a week so far. Before the site switchover I used DHL mostly, but since then I've been using USPS because it's much cheaper, and I still get the order within the week (used it two or three times now). I keep trying to figure out what goes wrong (mostly so I can keep avoiding it, lol).

Perhaps you missed the first 175 pages of this thread? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok fine, happy cult members do comment.

But I know for me, if I order a product, get it, and have no issues, I don't go back to the place I ordered it from and say, hey, this is great. I might, however, be inclined to say something if I didn't like the product, or the shipping was bad or I was unhappy about something else.

Ha yeah, I know. I just thought it was funny in the context of this thread.

Has anyone tried Spring Clean? I really like the browns, and that looks like a good one. How about Yard Sale or Sandy Bottom?

Has anyone tried using EDM has nailpolish yet? You paint a layer of minerals onto your nails, and then cover with some clear polish. I found some semi-natural polish Open Original Shared Link that I'm going to try and get my hands on. Must investigate a new was to use EDM! :lol:

Oh Jess! I DO apologize, lol! I really should have stopped in to say hello! :lol:

Actually I'm parked down the street from me too, lol. The last two Saturdays when my mom took me grocery shopping we passed it! :P

Paula, I got the freebies...I really like the looks of all three. I tried Bronze metal and really like it. It's not a bold color, so it looked very natural on my eyes. I think it might make a good "bronzer" blush too, so I want to try that next.

The silver medal reminds me of Smokey Pink with less pink, lol. I'm not sure I'm going to like that one, but since I didn't like Smokey Pink (hum, what's that other sort of silvery shadow...it's similar to that one too), maybe this one will be different enough that I'll like it.

The Gold Medal looks like a soft yellow with some pearlescent tendencies. I don't normally like yellows, but I think I might like this one.

I'm totally new to this thread, I can't believe how long it is! I was reading everything, but then I realized it's 176 pages and decided to just post already!

I ordered my free samples yesterday and then emailed my friend (we both use Bare Minerals) to tell her about it. I'm super excited to get mineral make up so much cheaper!

So we can order more than one free sample pack? Because I ordered all 3 foundations in Original Glo, and now that I think about it, I probably should have varied the types of foundation a bit.

Thanks to the OP for this fantastic info!

Welcome to the cult thread!

Thanks! I saw, like 100 pages ago, that people were asking about brushes. I recently bought some cheap drug store brushes (an angled eyeliner brush and a small concealer brush that I use as a lip brush), and they've worked fine with my Bare Minerals. I also saw that someone asked about cleaning brushes. I just started using this all natural laundry soap, I'm soaking my brushes in that today. It's Charlie's Soap. It's supposed to be really gentle and effective. I've just started using it, so I don't have a full opinion on it yet, but it seems all right so far.

I wouldn't have though of laundry soap. It doesn't leave any residue on the brushes? Is it a liquid?

Hi aim301, glad you jumped in and posted!

You can only order one sample kit per order, so if you would like to try out different foundation formulations or even color categories just place a seperate order. You can do this as often as you like, I've already ordered 5 so far trying to pin down my perfect foundation match.

I was using my face cleanser to wash my brushes, then I realized I was wasting it. So I stole Donna's idea of using castille soap. It's like 5 bucks or so for a 16 oz bottle and very concentrated so you only need a little, it will last a long time. Plus, it can be used to clean other things.

You know, I just have to say that every so often I pop in here to check . . .

Surely they must be off topic by now . . . They can't still be talking about make-up!!!

:lol::lol:

But you prove me wrong every time . . .

. . . and just whose job is it at that company to come up with names like "spin cycle", "waffle cone", "gold medal", "dust bunnies", "lint trap", etc??

I don't know, but I want that job!

...and I actually just checked to see if they do in fact have something called "lint trap" (they don't really, right? :unsure::lol: I mean it wouldn't surprise me )

There really is this much to say about make-up!

I would love to have that job, whoever picked "New Car Smell" and "New Socks" has got to go.

Um, me too :ph34r:

Well, yeah. It's kinda cute sounding. I can picture a nice gray eyeshadow with flecks of sparkly white. Dust bunnies would be the perfect name, and it would go nicely with the "missing socks" lip gloss. ;):rolleyes:

Okay let's start a new list. Best possible names for new EM colors (yeah I have work to do but this would be more fun :ph34r: )

1. Dust Bunnies (sparkly gray eyeshadow)

2. Lint Trap (gray eyeshadow, without the sparkle)

3. Yoga Mat (a nice blue eye shadow)

4. Streaky Mirror (multi colored face highlighter)

5. Green Algae (kind of like mint...)

6. Backpack (purple eyeliner)

7. Shower Cleaner (frosty white lip gloss)

I'll let you know tomorrow...after I've used them again! I've been having some itchy skin issues, so I switched to this all natural soap a couple of weeks ago; this is the first time I've used it for my brushes. But one of the company's big claims is that is leaves absolutely no residue. My sister uses it on her baby's clothes, and she said her older son's skin totally cleared up using it (KP runs in our family). I'll be interested to see if my skin clears (I have KP, too) between going gluten-free and using natural soap.

Anyhoo, I figured it was worth a try on my brushes. Oh, and yes, it's a liquid, but they make powder versions too.

Welcome Aim301! :)

The new color list :lol:

I wash my brushes using my shampoo. It works pretty well. I like the castille soap idea as well.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
