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

Hi Kassandra! Maybe your skin is just eating the minerals :lol::lol: Have you tried using a finishing powder under and/or over the foundation? Silk powder is good. I also really like the Finishing Dust.

Gosh Kassandra, I don't know...how does it not look good...does the color change? or does it get shiney, or lose color? I can see that Mango answered you...maybe a finishing dust would help as she suggested.

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.

omg u are a nut, post the colors that u like and im going to order the same ones lol, i was going to do the 48 dollar kit thing but im thinking eyeshadown and lipstick will be better, since i like the first foundation that i put on today, but i do need a brighter blush, this one kinda just blended in foundation lol.

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.

This is so funny--the only reason I knew about this is because BE is the same way.

Good thing you mentioned it :)

:lol: Paula...I won't post how I like them until I actually wear them...I'm finding that how they look in the jar isn't necessarily a good indicator of how they look on me. :P

New Car Smell look peach to me, but it's a nice light shade so might not be TOO peach. Favorite Hoodie looks interesting and I can't wait to try it.

And, for some reason I'm really excited to try the Cypress and Pressed Olive eye shadows...I don't wear green so not sure how this will look, lol.

I think Pink Ribbon might be a very nice color...may wear that tomorrow. :P

I'm wearing comfy today...it looks copper in the jar, but it's smokey brown on me with just a touch of copper sparkle at certain angles.

I just got exhale in today's shipment so haven't tried it yet....it's a fairly medium to dark brown with some reddishness to it (in the jar...it will probably look totally different on, lol).

I LOVE the smokey eyeliner.

Some of the other ones are in my NEXT 10 mini kit which is in my cart as we speak. :P

(with his x-wife and her husband.....I know, I know....but we all get along very well and it has always made it so easy for my step-daughter)....anyway I always like to look my best on those nights :P As much as I like her it always feels better to be cuter..LOL

Hi Kassandra! Maybe your skin is just eating the minerals :lol::lol: Have you tried using a finishing powder under and/or over the foundation? Silk powder is good. I also really like the Finishing Dust.

That's what my mom thinks! :lol: My skin is hungry! LOL! That would be a heck of a testimonial, "My skin eats your minerals!" :lol: :lol: :D

I will try what you suggested. I have a full basket, so I am going to order another sampler kit. My only thing is I need to figure out how to make it long-lasting otherwise I am going to be stuck with 1000 different make-ups that I won't use! :lol:

Gosh Kassandra, I don't know...how does it not look good...does the color change? or does it get shiney, or lose color? I can see that Mango answered you...maybe a finishing dust would help as she suggested.

It's like I am not wearing any make up anymore after a few hours. It's literally like it soaks into my skin. Its' very strange. I used to have this happen with my liquid foundation also, so I don't think it's specific to EM, but it's just annoying. If I go out all day, I look like I forget to get ready in the morning! LOL!

Okay, LOVING what I've tried so far from the new order.

First...Sunlight concealor. LOVE IT! I can't take away my bags, but did a great job at lessening the dark spots underneath them, lol. I also used it on my eyelids because the skin there always looks a bit dark and my eyes are deeper set. Made a big difference...and I'm not even wearing any other eye stuff today...just a little foundation over the concealor.

Second...Pink Ribbon Blush. May be my NEW FAVORITE, lol. Love this. In the jar it looks like a nice light pink. It looked slightly darker once I shook some out onto my margerine lid, lol, but on it's a perfect pink for me.

Third...Natural Reflections Fair finishing powder. LOVE IT! :lol: I never really liked BE mineral veil because I could always "see" it on my skin...my face looked a bit ghostly with it on...I see that they have a tinted one now, and maybe I would have liked that if I didn't start breaking out with BE stuff, but this...this is just about perfect. I can't "see" it at all, but it has given me a nice softer look. LOVE IT! I used it with the brush that came originally with my mineral veil...nice big fluffy retractable brush.

I also tried a little experiment which didn't quite work. I've been reading the EM forum and there is a thread about making your own lip gloss. You mix a little of the minerals into some vaseline or oil. I tried it with the Pink Ribbon and coconut oil and it was a little too liquidy, so it didn't quite work, but I could tell that THAT would have been a PERFECT pink lip gloss for me.

I have some vaseline at home, but there's no way I'd put anything from THAT container on my mouth, lol. At one time I used vaseline on my feet, and well, double dipped, lol. So I'll pick up a new container this weekend and I think that will work perfectly for the lip gloss thing...can't wait to try it.

My husband and I have a date night Sat. (with his x-wife and her husband.....I know, I know....but we all get along very well and it has always made it so easy for my step-daughter)....anyway I always like to look my best on those nights :P As much as I like her it always feels better to be cuter..LOL

:lol: another date night! :P

It's like I am not wearing any make up anymore after a few hours. It's literally like it soaks into my skin. Its' very strange. I used to have this happen with my liquid foundation also, so I don't think it's specific to EM, but it's just annoying. If I go out all day, I look like I forget to get ready in the morning! LOL!

Wow! I'm wondering if a "primer" would stop that from happening...EM is working on one I think. I know there are some others out there, but don't know what's in them. Trying to think of something else that could sort of be a barrier of sorts....can't think of any at the moment.

Donna, sounds like you have been having fun experimenting :lol:

Glad you are liking all your new things from your order.

I have just the Finishing Dust, I wonder how this compares to the Natural Reflections finishers?? Is finishers a word?!

Kass, are you moisturizing your skin really well at night and in the morning?? I wonder if this would help saturate your skin so that it doesn't absorb all the make up after you apply it.

The primer Donna mentioned is a thought too.

Julie, don't know about the finishing dust...I'm thinking of getting some pretty quickly though because if they discontinue it, I'll not get a chance to try it. Course that could be bad too if I like them. :P The "dusts" seem to have neat things added like "amino acids". :P Not sure why you need those on your skin, but hey, sounds good. :)

OMGosh, I went to Walmart twice today (that's another story, lol) and the man who checks receipts at the door said "hope you found everything you needed" so I said "I should by now, this is my 2nd visit today" and he said "well, I hope you come back again" with a flirtatious grin, I was like running out of there!!!!!! Can't tell you the last time this old lady has been hit on. LOL! :lol:

That's what my mom thinks! :lol: My skin is hungry! LOL! That would be a heck of a testimonial, "My skin eats your minerals!" :lol: :lol: :D

Hey Kassandra, I remember reading some place (maybe on the EM website) that people use a light mist of water to help 'set' the makeup. I've never tried it myself, but maybe it is worth a try.

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Okay, LOVING what I've tried so far from the new order.

I have Pink Ribbon coming - it sounds nice. Let us know how the vaseline works...um...when you get your new jar, lol!

Is it wierd that I signed up to be notified by text message on my cell phone when anything on my EM DHL shipment changes?

You will officially move up in cult ranking if you make that move! :D

My DHL tracking has not been updated since 2:33 am on Tuesday morning. I'm sweating it out here! :unsure:

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

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      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.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      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.
