Ha, Colleen...I've got two kits in my shopping cart (the mini eyeshadow and the mini personal) and I think I've changed them at least 20 times, lol. I also had to put in another free kit too...decided I need to try my favorite foundations in Matte now, lol.

So today was a play day...no where to go and nothing to do, but I decided to play with my brushes.

Premium Foundation Brush - I just couldn't see how this would work...I'm used to a really big fluffy brush for foundation, and this looked so small. Well, it actually worked VERY well. I'm really surprised. I thought for sure it would clump the foundation all in one place, but it didn't seem to do that at all. I DO think it might use a little more product, but I also think it does a better job of coverage on the first pass, so maybe that evens out. I almost didn't need concealer on my spots!

Eve Brush - Wasn't sure I'd like this either, but surprisingly I did. I used it for applying blush and it did a very nice job. I still like the kabuki brush a little better for this application, but I did like it.

Eyeliner - Very nice. Works the same as the BE brush I have...maybe a little better because I think it's a little finer line.

Angled Brow - This is the one that comes with the mini eyeshadow kit. I don't like it for applying eyeshadow, but I do like it for applying and softening/smudging eyeliner. I suspect it will work very well for brows as well.

Fan Brush - I couldn't imagine what I would use this for, but after applying the eyeliner I had the always present flakes of eyeliner on my check bones...I usually just wipe it off with a tissue, which almost always leaves a little black streak right at the stupid dark circle line, lol. I used this fan brush to brush off the flakes and they all came off without streaking! Very pleased. The brush is VERY soft even over the eye area.

Still to try: the lip brush, but can't imagine that wouldn't be good, lol.

I also tried Thank You eye color as a blush. It looked pretty dark pink in the jar, so I decided to try it as a blush and it worked very well.

I tried Smokey Eyeliner...love it. I also put on some Comfy. This is very smokey brown when put on as an eyeshadow, but looked to be a bit more sparkly and coppery when I tried it as an eyeliner. Maybe a little darker than Gingerbread Man.

So that's it...I'm pretty much done playing with my stuff. I need more stuff. :lol: I just have the lip brush and the black eyeliner to play with still...but that seems like it'd be just like the BE stuff. :P

:lol: I think a lot of us have the mini eyeshadow kit and the mini personal kit just sitting in our carts....waiting for the next special (which better be good, after all this lol)

Thanks for the brush reviews Donna.

Now I need to find a way to fit Comfy into my order <_<:lol:

I just have to say I love love pick me up pink concealer. :wub: I don't know that it conceals anything, but I've been dusting it over my entire face and it adds a nice brightness. Love it. :lol::D

I just like the name "pick me up pink". Even if I never use it I think eventually I have to get it, just because I like the name and I like pink things. :lol:

eye color: Gingerbread man - a coppery color. This is not a color I would have ever considered in a million years, but since it was a freebie, I thought what the heck. A little goes a long way, but it was much better than I thought it would be. It would look great as an evening color.

I have Gingerbread Man and I added some foundation to it to tone it down a little (I needed something for my eyes today and that was the only new color I could play with until my eye sampler order arrives <_< !) It turned out really nice!! Very subtle and a nice color. I used Fawn, Matte but I'm sure any foundation would work!

I'm in a quandry. I decided to stay home today and well, that means I have no where to go to put my make-up on! :lol: Maybe later I'll just play with my different brushes and see how they work. :P

Don't you LOVE days like this!!!

I have this and love it as a concealor - I never thought of using it as a finishing powder! Something to try tomorrow :D !

Donna,

Thank you for the review!! I bought the Premium Foundation Brush in my first order and I didn't like how it worked - too stiff. I think I'll give it another try!

Glad you got to play today. That's the best part! :D

Great brush reviews, Donna!

The more I try the Premium Foundation Brush, the more I like it, lol. Now, I'm trying it out with the different types of foundation. I think the first time I tried it I just didn't know how to put it on, but the more experimenting I do the better the foundation looks when it's applied with this brush.

:lol: I think a lot of us have the mini eyeshadow kit and the mini personal kit just sitting in our carts....waiting for the next special (which better be good, after all this lol)

Yes, I'm really hoping for at least 10 percent, the 2 NEW brushes, and Comfy and Apple, lol. :P

Anyone have any real complaints or any products that they really don't like at all? Overall, I can't say there is anything that is totally awful or can't work in some other capacity.

Yep, I'll be part of the EM bunch for a long time!

Sheesh, what are we going to do in a month or two once we've ordered everything there is to order. :lol:

Thank you for the review!! I bought the Premium Foundation Brush in my first order and I didn't like how it worked - too stiff. I think I'll give it another try!

I think the trick was to keep it light handed and keep it moving, lol. It could also be that I put the brush down on the spot that needed the most coverage, lol.

I can't think of anything I didn't like that couldn't be used in some other way that I did like. The closest thing has been the spring pink lip gloss...for some reason the color just doesn't look on me. But, I can put another color over or under it and it will look good (and I do that frequently with a lot of my lip colors) so that isn't enough to keep me from wearing it.

The only thing I have found that isn't working for me is the first blush I got - text message. It's way too dark red and brown. I tried it as a lip color and it's too dark that way, too. Maybe I could mix it with something. Haven't tried that yet. I think the color swatches on the EM website are somewhat misleading but the color card they sent me with my first order is a lot more accurate.

I got jump rope blush as a sample with my last order, and I think I might like it even more than chit chat. It's got less sparkle and is a nice rosy color. It think it will make a great eye color, too. THe best thing about this makeup is that you can use it in so many different ways.

Can we keep ordering sample kits every time we place an order? I think it's a great way to try lots of blushes and foundations, but I can't help feeling like a hog if I keep doing it.....

I really like jump rope, it is a rose-mauve I think. And yes, it is my understanding that we can order a sample kit every time. I notice that some things like lip gloss aren't in the samples, so I think what they are doing is great. It takes a lot of trial and error to find the right color foundation.

In my first order I got Sunday Brunch and it is too dark and too orange. It does look that way in the picture and I had no idea what colors I was supposed to wear. I think that is the most orange-ish one they have, lol.

I order a sample kit each time. I'm sure if they didn't want us to they would put a restriction on and limit 1 per customer instead of 1 per order. Don't feel like a hog, they want us to keep getting the samples of things because it probably leads to more future orders for them anyway.

I have Chit Chat too, but I'm leaning more toward the blushes without sparkle. I don't mind the eye shadows with sparkle, but for me the blushes look better when they are matte.

Well oddity of oddities, I think Nick Nack may be my new favorite blush color, lol. I'm wearing it again, and it's just the softest shade of pinky peach. Goes perfect with the salmon pink colored sweater I'm wearing.

I've ordered one every time I've ordered, lol. I sometimes wish they'd offer two kinds of free sample kits...one as it is, and maybe one where you can pick any combo of mini sample size offerings. I think I'm reaching the end of my "foundation" sampling, but want to try more blushes, eye shadows and finishing dust.

Aahhh...I thought I had my mini eyeshadow kit all worked out...but... :o they have new colors today! (or at least ones I hadn't noticed before). I see Samba Lessons and Smokey Pink. Were those there before? I think I want them :lol:

I feel that way about Soft Touch. It was the first one I tried and I didn't think I liked it, but now I end up wearing it everyday :D

Hmmm...products that don't work for me...just a couple lip glosses, but I must have strange lips or something, b/c I can never find lip colors. Many of the blush powders work well on my lips though :)

My order came! My order came!! :D:D:D

First I have to say I'm going to order the bowls with my next order! They are a pretty lavendar color and they are actually measuring bowls!! From 1/8C to 2C! I'll have one for make-up bathroom stuff and the other for cooking. Pretty smart, eh ;) !

I don't have a chance to try out my sampler right now, but later! I can't wait - it's like Christmas again :lol: !

Mango, today I used PMUP as a foundation! It was completely by accident! I was in a rush and I thought I put on my foundation so I put PMUP on top of Multi-Tasking and it gave me a nice pinkish glow to my skin! It accentuated the nice honkin' zit that landed right on the tip of my nose :rolleyes: !

I can't say anything bad about the items I ordered! If it's too dark, I can always lighten it up. I love the fact that we're not "stuck" with that color!

I LOVE the brush and minerals for eyeliner...it is not has harsh as even a pencil. I use the brush on the lower lid too, but I don't reload the brush after I do the upper lid. Usually there's a little still left on the brush, but not a lot, so it makes a not to dark smokiness instead of a line. That usually works although sometimes I DO have to put a little more eyeliner on the brush.

Do you have the everyday eyeliner brush? That one makes it really easy. The trick is to tap the brush really well to get rid of the excess, or you'll end up with little specks on your cheeks (apparantly the fan brush takes care of that though :D)

Hey Everyone,

Oooh, new colors. I'll have to go check them out!!!

Laura, I use the eye liner wet. I just sprinkle out some mineral powder in the lid, add about 1/2 drop of water and mix it up. Draw a thin line about in the middle of my bottom lashes out to the corner and under the lashes. I read somewhere that eye liner should not be applied above the lower lashe becaue it can get into your eye and cause irritation. It is really easy to apply this way and it comes out really natural looking.

Good luck trying eye liner.

      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?
