This is emabarrassing to admit but...oh well...

Does anyone else think the banner at the bottom for Mary's Gone Crackers looks like an ad for mineral foundation?

Don't quote me on that. Must be able to delete it later. :ph34r::lol:

Mango!!! :lol:

Okay, I'm wondering where my order is?!! How do you find out where it is? It says it shipped on the EM website, but I don't know how to find out *where* it is! Ugh...help! ;)

Mango,

OMG, are we separated at birth?!?!?!

I always have the same thought. Everytime I see that banner I think, hmm those look like little tubs of EM....and then I am reminded they are crackers!!!!

Kass,

What shipping did you choose? Go to that website (i.e. if it's USPS, go to USPS tracking), and plug in your tracking number for this order, found in your EM account.

I did DHL because it was the cheapest. I went to their site but it said, there was no match found. :blink::wacko:

:lol::lol: phew...I thought you guys were going to agree with me or think I was crazy. Maybe we are all crazy! :lol: LOL

(actually though, it really does look like little tubs of EM :lol::lol: )

Would these ingredients be paraben free? This is the mascara I have in my cart at Monave, would love to hear input on the ingredients. It is gluten free.

Natural Mascara: purified water, Vegetable glycerin, beeswax, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, vegetable glyceryl stearate, lecithin, vegetable stearic acid, safflower oil, glycine soja (soybean) oil (and) aloe barbadensis leaf extract, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, silica, cellulose gum, tocopherol, xanthan gum, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, rosemary) leaf extract, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, phenoxyethanol. May contain: mica, titanium dioxide (CI 77891), iron oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77480).

Thanks Joni for this suggestion too. This is a lot of ingredients though, for someone like me who is chemical sensitive I have a feeling I would react to it :(

AND hopefully (!) they will find a hidden stash of hundreds of long handled kabukis they didn't previously know they had! LOL

:lol:

I've decided to do something wild and crazy and order the peach lip gloss... :lol: :lol:

Uh oh, Donna's getting wild and crazy :lol:

Peach lip gloss, oh my!

Oh nooooooo. That is the second time I've heard such things about ginger peach.

Ginger Peach is a gorgeous color, I LOVE it!!!

For me the site didn't update until late in the evening on the day the order was shipped. Hopefully it will show up for you tonight.

Thanks Joni for this suggestion too. This is a lot of ingredients though, for someone like me who is chemical sensitive I have a feeling I would react to it :(

Your welcome. Sorry it doesn't look like it will work for you.

Is it orange? Or is it more golden? I am so very curious now. I have never been even a little intriguied by this shade but now I think I must buy it! :D

I LOVE GINGER PEACH TOO! It is a pale peach color with a tint of pale pink and a bit of sparkle! No orange at all, but the sparkle makes it have a slight golden hue.

Joni, you describe Ginger Peach well :)

Mango, you really must try it!

OK, I have what? 9 more days to decide if I should place my order on this special??? :wacko:

dragging my heels.....

I think I'm holding out for Donna's, and others, review of the freebie samples of the new products. :lol:

Okay, am I a total freak because I had DHL send my text messages about where my make-up is?! :lol: :lol:

It's in Waco (wacko) Texas! Ugh, they say it will be here on the 8th. I hope they're wrong.

Not so crazy for a cult member, Colleen did the same thing :lol:

If it's Texas it hasn't gotten very far, EM ships out of Texas.

No, absolutely not! I've considered doing the same many times. :lol:

Argg...so now I'm i the "rearranging of the cart" mode, which is getting complicated. :huh:

I think I need a spreadsheet. :o

I was going to order the full-sized custom kit, but as I add more things (such as ginger peach lol), I'm starting to wonder if it wouldn't just make more sense to get the I Can't Believe It Kit. However...that one requires you to get three blushes and one concealer. I was hoping for two concealers and two blushes. :P Hmph....what to do...what to do? :lol:

Also, does anybody own a full-sized foundation? I wonder how long one would last? I literally need a year's supply worth of foundation in my next order :o Should I get three? :unsure:

NO! You just doing what any respectable cult member would do. ;)

I'm having trouble selecting blushes this time around. I have so many I want to try.

Heres my current lineup: Any input on the blushes for medium skin would be great!

Mini Eyeshadow Kit:

Medium Brown Brow Color (Small)

Chamomile (Small)

Comfy (Small)

Well Being (Small)

Floating Feathers (Small)

Shopping Spree (Small)

Starry Eyed (Small)

In the Garden (Small)

Scented Candles (Small)

Net Surfing (Small)

Personal Custom Mini:

Jump Rope (blush)

Theme Park (blush)

Best Friends (blush)

Sunlight Corrector (concealer)

Natural Reflections Medium Bronzer

Medium Beige Neutral (foundation)

I also have:

Weekend Getaway

Back to School

Email Me

I don't really want to order these a la carte. If anyone can give me input on any of the blushes I would love to hear about them.

Oranges are definately out for me, but peaches, pinks and browns (light) work well. I could always just get 6 blushes in my Mini Kit, but that sounds kind of boring, lol!

:wub: I am in love with my order. :lol:

So, today I'm wearing the free gift Sunlight Finishing Dust as a primer all over my face and eyes. Very nice, I like this.

Used my usual Sunlight concealor on my dark circles and spots.

Then Golden-Light foundation. I guess the guy in the book knew what he was talking about cuz this looks dang good on me, lol. I might be ordering a full container of this one.

On my eyes...HOT CHOCOLATE...very good base color. It's a good neutral light color.

Then I put on GINGER PEACH :wub: Love at first glitter! LOVE THIS. Very light peach!

Then I put on SAMBA LESSONS. :wub: Great eyeliner with a touch of sparkle!

Last, but not least Floating Feathers as a highlighter.

When I have more time to play (woke up LATE) I'll try this as a highlighter on other parts of my face, but for today just at the brow bone.

Cheeks: WAFFLE CONE :wub: :wub: Very nice soft peachy color...now that I'm at work and have gone in to check myself out in the mirrors :lol: I wish I had put more of it on. :lol:

I followed all that up with a little of my Natural Reflections finishing powder and some peachy shimmery lip gloss that I have.

I think I need a spreadsheet. :o

:lol:

Also, does anybody own a full-sized foundation?

Not yet, but just by judging how long the tiny little samples last, I'm thinking the full sized container would last a while...from the pictures I've seen of the full sized foundations, they are huge. But, yeah, if it were me, I'd order 3 anyway. :P

Heres my current lineup: Any input on the blushes for medium skin would be great!

Jump Rope (blush)--haven't tried this one yet...it just came yesterday, so probably will try it within a day or two...looks really nice in the jar

Best Friends (blush)--same comment as for Jump Rope, lol

Weekend Getaway--this was the first blush I ordered and I liked it...it's a slightly darker peach, but it didn't turn orange on me--think I need to try this again (I have TOOOO many blushes :ph34r: )

Green12 Enthusiast

Hey Mango, are you puree?? :lol:

I literally need a year's supply worth of foundation in my next order

I knew it!!!!!! International Spy..... ;)

I don't know how big the full size foundations are, I thought you had them and would know :lol: Were those big honkin containers in your pictures blushes or eye shadows?? I would assume they would be a similar size?

Joni, I know, blushes are so hard for me to choose too!

You have some great colors in your cart :D

The only blush I have that you list here is Best Friends, it is a very pretty color but it leans to the purple side, a rosey violet, lavender, definitely NOT ORANGE.

Donna, glad you are loving your new goodies :D

The Sunlight Finishing Dust sounds interesting.

And thanks for your Waffle Cone review, I really like your description of it. I'm going to keep it in my cart.

I love using the darker blushes as eye shadow. you can put a lot on and it just deepens your eyes without looking like you're wearing eyeshadow.

Also tried a bit of oasis over my lip color. Nice gold finish.

Hey Mango, are you puree?? :lol:

Well, I know what you people think when I put actual mangos up there. Puree seemed like a safer, more wholesome choice. :ph34r:

:lol:

SO!...I think I get what you all were talking about now when we were comparing Natural Reflections to Natural etc etc etc :wacko::lol: (I'm kind of slow...sorry LOL).

There is a Natural Reflections BRONZER! Yay! I must try this! I never even noticed it, but it looks great! :D

I don't know how big the full size foundations are, I thought you had them and would know Were those big honkin containers in your pictures blushes or eye shadows?? I would assume they would be a similar size?

Suprisingly, I've only ever ordered one mini foundation. The big honkin ones in my pictures were (lifetime supplies of) blushes. I found an old BE foundation jar though. It has 9g of foundation. The EM jars give you 8g. So now I know the answer. LOL. I could get away with two, but I think I'll order three... :D

Joni! Blushes! I don't know! I'm confused about which blushes to order too... (but I'm definitely getting waffle cone).

Donna - your order sounds fantastic! Thanks for the very enthusiastic review/love fest :lol: I'm excited to order now. :D

Okay so this is weird....A bunch of people on other forums are talking about using a certain type of....monistat as a foundation primer. :unsure: Hmmm...not something I would have thought of...

Yeah, I saw that on an EM thread too...not only would I have NOT thought about that but I'm not sure that now that it's been put in my brain, I'd WANT to put it on my face. :P

Completely unrelated....

I sent in a gushing email to EM. Basically saying I've felt like doodoo for 5 years and couldn't have cared less about my appearance and now I'm having so much fun with makeup and it doesn't cause reactions. :ph34r:

Hmmm, that just does not sound appealing or even remotely like something I would try, even for better skin. Yuk.

What are its properties, I mean what does it do?

Donna, I think that's great nothing to be :ph34r: about!

:lol::lol:

It is truly remarkable when you find a perfect foundation match that makes your skin look good, better than good, flawless, and to be gluten-free and free of most other allergens on top of that.

EM is changing lives, one face at a time!

Yeah, but at what cost! :lol: These people have never heard of multiple chemical sensitivities...egads...I can only imagine what would happen if I put that all over my face. :lol: :lol:

pores disappear because your eyes swell shut and you can't see them anymore!

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
