I've been reading this thread for a bit but haven't posted. I'm going to jump in now!

I LOVE this stuff! I used BM for a while, decided it was too expensive, went back to drugstore stuff. Oh man, big mistake! I was so broken out and aggravated when finally.....I can across this thread! Yeah!

I love the Weekend getaway blush. So soft and natural.

The cleansing wipes are just fantastic! I was using four steps on my skin. Now, I'm using only these. Hard to believe, isn't it? I have very sensitive skin and these leave my face clean and soft. For $3.50 for 80 you have got to try them. I am in love with these things!

Isn't make-up fun!?

So, because of some freak of nature or act of God, my clock somehow got changed to be an hour ahead, so instead of 4:40, I got up at 3:40 this morning. :o Bad news you say!? Not so, because that gave me plenty of time to put on a full face of makeup. :lol: So, I'm wearing the works today....foundation, eye color, eye liner, mascara, blush, lip gloss, lol. Normally on a work day I only wear foundation, blush and lip gloss, most because I don't have the time. We'll see if anyone notices. :P

AND, another good thing, is that I've decided to get more sample pots of my favorite colors and leave them here at work with a little set of brushes, so that I can touch up, or add stuff if I want to. :P

Ok donna, u just made me feel like an idiot, i never checked for tape over the dots lol.

Um............. :huh:

:ph34r:

Didn't mean to make anyone feel bad, lol. It's just that it took me a LOOONNNNNGGGG time to figure out why the minerals weren't coming out, lol. I finally stuck my fingernail in there and started scraping and to my amazement, the tape came off, lol.

Just ordered the sample kit...i am hoping to love it. I have been using Bare Minerals for a while, is the coverage as good with Everyday minerals? I still use Chanel lip gloss...it is also gluten-free.

Hey, welcome to the cult, lol! Yes, I think it has every bit as good coverage as BM does. I've used Bare Minerals for years. In the last few years, I went down to only wearing makeup on Sundays and special ocassions and every time I did I broke out within a day, so last year I tried a different mineral foundation that my hair stylist carries in her salon. Still only wore that once a week, and still seemed to break out within a day or so of wearing it. Now, I DO tend to break out at the drop of a hat these days, but with EM I don't notice it so much. I am still breaking out here and there, but it doesn't seem tied to the makeup anymore. The coverage is fantastic...I can go has sheer or as heavy as I like, and I had a MUCH easier time finding a match to my skin color/tone for the foundation for some reason.

I'll try one more time but this how it turns out to be far more expensive then Bare Minerals... its trial and error whereas with BM I can try them on in Sephora.

Yeah, this is the hard part. I have several BE stores and Several Sephora stores close by, so yeah, it's convenient. Even $3.95 for shipping can add up after a while compared to FREE, lol. But, I do agree that reading the descriptions of the color in combination with looking at the picture has saved me a couple of times.

I went a little too light the first sample kit too. I hit the right two categories though, just went a little too light. I fit well into the "cool" and "olive" categories.

Hey, welcome to you too!! I've "seen" you reading before, and so glad you decided to join in!

Yeah, see my response above re breaking out, lol. This is SOOOO much better for my skin. Weekend Getaway was the first blush color I tried and still love it, lol.

Wow, you've tried the wipes already, lol. I'm jealous! :lol:

Oh, and I forgot to say that my order as "left the Fresno Hub" at 2:05 this morning! :lol: !! Yay, at least it's in the same state now! Fresno is not that far away, but it will probably take two more days to get here, lol. :P

OKay, so you all DO know that the little mini containers have a cellophane tape thingy over the holes, right? :lol: It's not easy to see it but it's there, and there's no tab thingy like on the small or large sizes you just have to kind of scrape the tape off. Outside of that tape thing, my little holes haven't plugged up. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: <insert moron emoticon>

Hysterical, I wondered why they'd put non-functional sifters on the little pots. Still, for some of the things I do I like the open pot better.

GGGGAAAAAHHHH. Instead of spending my morning planning my day, I was wondering when my order would arrive so I could try out the new blush!!

And I was having so much fun putting on the makeup that I waaayyy over did it. I look like a tart! :D

:lol: Yeah, I went the opposite today...I usually put on too much blush, so decided NOT to today...now I want more. One reason why I've decided to get more sample pots of my favorites to keep at work. :P

Welcom to the EM madness babinsky :lol:

I personally think the coverage with EM is better than the coverage I got with BE, at least it is for me.

I've been reading this thread for a bit but haven't posted. I'm going to jump in now!

Hi Trillum Hunter, so glad you jumped in!

It's good to hear you are enjoying your EM like the rest of us in this mad mkeup cult :lol:

Susan, I have to echo what everyone else said about the written descriptions of the foundation. I especially paid close attention to the details of each category. For example, how your skin reacts in the sun (i.e. burns, never tans, tans easily, etc) and the color of the veins, if seen at all, on the underside of the arm.

Based on that info alone, only 2 categories were a possibility for me.

Also, the people at EM are very helpful. I imagine if you email them or call them and let them know the problems you are having with foundation they picked for you, that it is too yellowing on you, that might give them a hint of what to try next.

That is the big downside, not being able to go somewhere locally and test out the colors to find your perfect match.

I think if you can find the right foundation color you will be set.

Yeah, I had the dumb on that one too :lol:

Well a tart is one way to go, luckily you have a plethora of EM tools to remedy the situation, concealers to bring down the redness, another layer of foundation, a nifty fan brush to wipe away the excess :lol:

Hey, speaking of which...I used it AGAIN for just that, lol. Since I had the time to put on a full face of makeup, I got the telltale specks of black eyeliner (didn't seem to happen with the smokey eyeliner by-the-way) on my cheekbones...the fan brush worked really well again to get that off without streaking it! Yay.

YAY, since the last time I checked my tracking info...um, about 20 minutes ago, lol...my order has arrived at Redwood City, left Redwood City and is "with delivery courier". Now THAT can mean anything from I'll get it in a few minutes, to I get it in a day or two, lol!!!! Hopefully it means I'll get it sometime before I leave today.

YAY...that means if I can figure out a way to get it on, I can try a blush color. :P (Of course, no brushes here today, and I don't think an appropriate brush was a free gift this time.)

OK....so I decided to just go ahead and order a bunch of stuff instead of waiting for my sample kit.....got a little carried away this morning..LOL I figured .... how can soooo many beautiful women be wrong! I am of Italian-Irish decent so my skin can go from fairly light in the winter months to fairly tan in the summer so I ordered a broad spectrum of foundation...4 different colors :rolleyes: ...figure that way I can mix them for my ever-changing skin. I ordered some brushes, blush, and some eye shadow but ordered all in the smaller sizes so I can see what I like. I never even bothered to look at the wipes...now I am sad :( Next time maybe...have to let my husband get over this order first :lol:

I am so behind today! Must catch up with my cult! :lol:

The tape thing is toooo funny! :lol::lol::lol:

So, my order has been just sitting at the dhl facility near my house for over 24 hours <_< and the wesite says it will be delivered to me tomorrow. <_< I ended up right behind a dhl van yesterday on my way home from work, and I thought maybe it was my stuff :lol:. It got all the way to my street and then kept going :(

I'm kind of bummed too, b/c I just went to the dermo, and she said nothing can be done for my acne scars :( I guess it's eight layers of EM everyday for the rest of my life :lol: Oh well! lol

Big bummer all the way around--sorry about the scars!

I HATE when there is a delivery truck in front of me...or worse, I can hear it coming down the street, and look longingly outside and it keeps going (but THAT was back in the day when I could have it delivered to my home, lol). Now, I just have to get excited about the "with delivery courier" message. :P

Okay you guys, this is pure craziness :unsure: ...but I'm thinking about cheating on the brand and ordering some liquid mousse foundation from Aubrey Nicole. :ph34r::lol: I'm about to start using something called Tazorac cream, which is supposed to make my skin really flakey, and I think it would be really great to have a liquid mineral foundation under my loose EM foundation.

First I'm going to see how I like the EM pressed powder, b/c I hear that gives really amazing coverage, but I dunno...I might have to venture out and *gasp* try another brand! :ph34r::unsure: LOL

Actually, I've also been looking at the minerals that Susie posted about a few pages ago...they have some really fun colors. BUT, I've been holding back until I get all the eye colors from EM...which should be in about 30 minutes, max. :lol: :lol:

Okay everyone,

I haven't been following this thread :ph34r: because you guys are just SO busy! :lol:

I have a question though, how do you get it to last all day? It looks great for a couple hours, then it doesn't look good anymore. My mom thinks my skin is mineral hungry! :lol: :lol: ;)

Any ideas? I thought about using my smashbox photo finish, but it usually clogs my pores and I tend to break out when I wear it, which is *why* I am using EM, to PREVENT break-outs! :P

OMGosh :lol: they just delivered my box. I am so excited...I haven't even really looked at the colors YET, but they sent the regular eye shadow BRUSH!!!! Yay! I thought I was getting another angled brush, but YAY, got the regular brush. That ALONE is worth the wait, lol. They also sent another liner brush...can't have too many of those, and of course the fan brush.

Okay, without flipping over the next roll of the tissue, Pink Ribbon looks to be a very nice pink. Corner Office looks a bit dark but a nice color overall. The natural reflections looks like a nice color for the finishing dust.

Smokey Pink doesn't look very pink, lol. More mauve, but a nice smokey color.

Okay, turning the tissue now... :lol:

Holy COW, did I order TWO 10 mini eyeshadows??? I've most certainly got 20 eyeshadows here, lol. NO wait...they mixed in the sampler kit with the eyeshadows, lol. Phew! I thought for a minute I got someone else's order. :)

It should be illegal to have this much fun!

Okay back in a little while once I've really looked at the eye colors.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Hello everybody!  I am a Swedish guy 39 years old with typ 1 diabetes. I signed up on this forum because I need som help with my problems with my stomach that have been going for 2 years mabey a little more.  My problems is following: I have egg burps, its taste like rotten eggs also called sulphur burps, and it’s so horrible. After the burps mabey, a 4-5 hours, I must have a toilet nearby because then I have diarrhea. And that can last for a day mabey, sometimes a couple of hours. When I have going to the bathroom and the diarrhea is over no more burping. After wards I am so tired and get sometime headaches. When I got these episodes I must call in sick to my work because I can’t work I am so exhausted.    I have been to my house doctor and have taken tests. I took blood samples gluten and lactose. I have also this week taken feces samples, that I am gooing to leave to the doctor at the end of this week so they can take it into the lab.    When i first visit my doctor is was not my regularly house doctor, and he sad mabey it’s gluten so stay gluten free and see if helps. Well, I did it and like for 10 days everything was so good, I hade some constipation but no burps or loose stools. But then after those 10 days my doctor called me and asked me If  I had taken a test for gluten, which I had but she said ok but it’s negative have you been eaten gluten when you did take the test and I said no, so the test was negative of course.  She also had looking over my blood samples and I have  ”Postive for HLA-DQ2, subtype DQ2.5 ”  And because I have diabetes typ 1 the doctor wanted me too to go the hospital to get a gastroscopy. I am wating for my time in the line for do that. I have also for a month now getting some kind of rash, it looks like blisters don’t know if I can upload a picture to show it?  I try my best to be gluten free, but this weekend I was out with some friends but I drank gluten free beer but also redbull with vodka and I got really drunk and mabey I got my friends glass and I had been drinking regular beer no gluten free.  My doctor said stay gluten free until the hospital calls you. So I am, but still it can take 4-5 days I got egg burps and then diarrhea, and I can’t for my life figure out how i got gluten in me. The only thing that 3 weekends in a row now, I have been drinking beer gluten free and booze.  The booze have also been gluten free. Still when the weekend have passed by it got new episodes of burps and diarrhea. I have also have this kind of episodes when I’m not drinking any alkohol. We have also clean out everything that is gluten in our home.  I feel so confused about this, I mean is it so easy to get gluten in your body?    Sorry for long wall of text I hope you had the time to read everything.

      Hi. Yes. I’m awaiting my Biopsy results. I had B12 and other labs drawn on Mon, including Thyroid levels, as I am on Levothyroxine for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. Those levels should indicate any iodine issues. We had discussed the urine iodine, but he went with the thyroid instead. We’ll see.  I never had any of those Pellagra skin changes, or Casal’s necklace. Just itchiness in the supraclavicular hollows on both sides of my neck, and the anterior aspect as my neck radiation site.  The hollows had no changes until I scratched them, then I got the rash on those areas like the ones I have now scattered in different areas, usually on both sides with the exception of my anterior thighs. My right is affected, my left isn’t. I am 70 and have all my teeth as well - amazingly after having had max dose radiation in 2002. 😂 Unfortunately, because of long term changes in my oral mucosa because of it I can’t use mouthwashes - even non-alcohol ones, as they all burn my mouth like fire. Toothpastes burn as well, but not nearly as bad. I have an electric toothbrush but it is getting more difficult to use due to increasing trismus. Some days I cannot open my mouth wide enough to get the electric brush between my back teeth, so on those days I use a regular one. Gotta do what you gotta do.  Thank you for your input. Any insight I can get into this is appreciated. So, for now it’s the waiting game for test results, then we can form a treatment plan going forward.
