EveryDay Minerals

I am sure some of you must have heard about this!

I am very happy with their eyeshadow but it's upset that they are not selling the 10pc e/s sample sizes anymore.. I thought it was a pretty good deal because 10 pcs (1g each jar) is around $17 and + shipping around $5 all together is like $23 USD.. and I always bought those when they have 25% off.... and I always order the sample package along with it too.... so I can always have the foundations and one extra blush! ><

cinderelly. thanks. it's his videos are so helpful

i even emailed them and asked if they'd bring them back and they said NO!

i was watching enkore's video on youtube and he teaches it.
in the beginning he only had videos up about pressing eyeshadows (NOT mineral ones) but i cared less and went ahead with it. for normal e/s he said to use alcohol. that was what i did and it worked as well
then a little later he had videos up about pressing mineralized make up. using mixing medium (by mac) or glycerin + water. the procedures are more ma fan and time consuming...

he's a guy and he demonstrates how to put on make up on himself.. and he doesn't have the most perfect skin.. i was a little intimidated by that in the beginning. =p but then soon after i realized he IS really good at what he does =)

how do u ppress them? i didn't know u can

yea, i store them upside down too.. ahha and i only use whatever on the lid as well.
I thought they would come back with the 10pc e/s.. sigh

cinderelly

yeah.. one thing that i dun like about mineral eyeshadows is that is gets messy sometimes. but i think i get the hang of it now =ppp i usually just use whatever's on the lid cuz i store them upside down
you can actually also press mineral make up. but then i've heard that the color changes slightly and some of the shimmers might go away. i pressed a few of my edm ones but got too lazy afterwards

Rainy

ahha have u tried Pure Luxe.. lols

I have to admit that I like the packaging of EDM because it comes with another lid so u won't make a mess when u use the e/s

cinderelly

i actually prefer lumiere over edm!
the reason why i got so much from them is because edm's is the first mineral makeup brand that i came across =p i got excited and ordered a little too much =ppp

Rainy

my collection... but not a lot

My skin was really dry when i first ordered the sample kit. None of the samples fit.
Then, I gave it another try a year later. I got the 10pc e/s kit and another sample kit. Surprisingly, the foundation sticks to me skin so well (I still don't know why. maybe they change their formulas)
I ordered the pearl mint concealer too .. like what you said, it's too pearl that I find it too 'white' to my skin. I use it as a highlighter instead.
I have to say their e/s is good, for the blush, it's good too. But I don't like the foundation powder still because it's still not fine enough.

seems like u are a fan of EDM.

i know! i'm so disappointed that they took away the 10pc eyeshadow kit =\ because of that i've ended up getting eyeshadow kits from other sites..~

their foundation don't really work for me. i either use the shade sandy fair or cool fair.. both i like.. i have dry skin but the original glo doesn't blend into my skin. semi matte is too drying.

do you use their concealer for undereye circles? sunlight alone is so drying. i either mix it with intensive fair or just intensive alone.
i also have the pearl mint concealer. but it's so pearly that i dunno what to do with it =\
pearl pink me up and pink me up pink i use as blushes
pearl beige i use as a highlighter

i also use the natural reflections fair as a sunscreen
i have the finishing dust as well but i don't really like it... nothing special about it
and i got the start to finish fair without knowing that it has kaolin clay as an ingredient.. i have dry skin. but it doesn't make my skin dryer so i'm glad about that. but it doesn't do much either.
