Yes, it’s only available online, but you can get free samples (you pay like $4 for shipping in the US) that last a few weeks.

I never wore makeup before March of this year, and this stuff has me totally hooked. I can buy 12 full-sized foundations for $50 (buy everything in KITS!!), and the full sizes will last most women 6-12 months.

No, I don’t work for them, but man, sometimes I wish I did. Not that I’d ever be able to actually bring home a paycheck. “Carina, honey, don’t bother paying me, just add it to my tab.”

 

[whatevergirl]

Well, $15 may not seem like much, but that’s just not in MY budget, lol. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much on lip gloss…even when I was a teen with a job and no bills to pay:blush:

Now, Malia…where are your priorities? LOL! It will last a long time, I promise.

I don’t wear foundation, but sometimes, a concealer to even out my skintone under my eyes, etc. Is the EDM, natural looking, for a foundation? I don’t wear foundation, because I have always seen a lot of cakey-ness (sp?)

Regarding working for them…wouldn’t that be fun? I think I’d go broke too…my nephew’s wife used to work at Tiffany’s as a manager…and she blew like $10k per year on jewelry!!! And that was with the discount. :bigyikes:

 

[Sierrah]

The mineral make up is the newest thing I know about but that’s been out for awhile. My skin is way too sensitive for most stuff so I just stick with what I know works. I’ve never been much into make up really anyway.

 

[whatevergirl]

Hi Sierrah, I think that is the greatest thing…to hit the market. The Emali (I think that’s the name) of the eye shadow I bought, is all natural…organic…I am wondering if that’s why it looks better than other shadows I have, and I have always been a MAC fan, and this shadow tops theirs. I am done paying MAC prices though.

That’s the only way I’d ever wear it. I spent the first 27 years of my life going makeup-less because I was scared of looking fake or damaging my complexion.

If you get the right formula/shade, and some good mineral makeup brushes, you won’t look cakey at all. You’ll look like you have perfect skin. :heaven: Several ladies from CAF have posted photos in our Vortex thread – Go take a look! If you need specific thread/page information for pics, let me know. I have everyone on a list.

How does it work though if you have a bad acne problem? Does it cover up blemishes?

 

[whatevergirl]

Grazie, Truly! I just went to the page, and scanned a few pages…and saw no pics. :nope: I’d like to see so please send me a link if you can…thanks again.

Ciao bella.

I dunno, but whatever it is…it takes her a looooooong time to put it on.

I smell an EM thread resurrection…

WG as far as matching your complexion shade you can order free sample kits, check it out:thumbsup:

once you have found your right shade or mix of shades buying the full sized kits is a real bargain. I just ordered a FS kit and got 6 foundations, (which will last me 6 months easily) one finishing powder, 1 blush 2 eye shadows, and 3 different brushes. for 50 bucks.

As far as the drugstore stuff goes I really like L’oreal voluminous mascara the best of all I’ve tried.

I’ve also realized that good old Revlon Colorsilk hair color is better than the salon stuff more natural and more gentle and a whopping $3 a box. I only color my hair once in a blue moon though, mostly for fun just one shade different than my natural color. I think I’m the only one who notices the difference:shrug: but that’s ok because I hate fake looking color.

Moisturizers and stuff i don’t use because I’m still doing my old coconut oil cleansing and moisturizing. It’s what works for me.

 

[Truly_Beloved]

How does it work though if you have a bad acne problem? Does it cover up blemishes?

I don’t have personal experience with this, but I have read favorable things from other women who are pleased with the makeup and its ability to conceal acne.

I think PumpkinBeast has great things to say about it. Forgive me, PB, if I’m mistaking you for someone else!

 

[whatevergirl]

Oh wow…I just took a peek at some of the pics…and so beautiful. Skin like porcelain! This looks to be great stuff…I don’t really have problem skin, but I think to have it look like porcelain…wow, that would be so great! Thanks for posting that. I have never ever worn foundation…as my skin is relatively even, will the EDM go on smooth??

And the comment in the one section, where Malia said that she loved the concealor so much, she asked if she could put it on her husband…hahahaha

That’s too funny.

Hi truly beloved,

Just a ‘FYI’ - each user can view a different number of ‘posts’ per page. You might be better off linking by post number, which is clear at the top right of every post, because page ‘6’ for ‘person X’, could be something different for ‘person Y’.

So instead of ‘Thread III, page 6’ you could put ‘Thread III, post no:115’

And, if you want to be REALLY clever, you could link each one too. Here is an example for lizanne’s brushes : post no: 213.

God Bless!

I’ve put the concealer on my husband.

Seriously. He has these patches of eczema on his face that occasionally flare up bright red. He had a flare-up the day of his friend’s wedding, and he was the best man, so lots of photos coming up. I dabbed a little of the mint concealer and the light tinted finishing power on the spots and no one could even tell the spots were there.
