Back home with great MAKEUP tips for WDW

I got my samples yesterday and am wearing it today I really like the coverage but it is really messy I got it all over me.
One of my friends sales avon has anyone tried the new minerals they have?

 

[DizziDezi2]

My mom sells avon and she has the new 'mineral' makeup they have. Im not a huge fan of it. UPDATE: Ive been wearing my mineral makeup for like 5 days now- and my skin is clearing up DRASTICALLY! I can see how its letting the skin breath, how it makes my skin look great, etc etc. I cant decide whether to try the Bare Essentials or just go ahead and order the Everything Kit from here. I am never putting heavy pore clogging makeup on again. Has anyone tried their potted lip color? Do you apply it with a lip brush?

I ordered a sample! Thank you!!!

Well, it stood up to a busy busy weekend and so.. I ordered everything I really liked in mini size along with some brushes on Monday.

Yesterday I started running a fever etc in the afternoon and just crashed when I got home and didn't wash my face or anything and... no zits this am! None so far all day. That would be unheard-of if I had fallen asleep with regular makeup on!!

After almost a full week of using the Everyday Minerals exclusively, I have seen a HUGE improvement in the texture of my skin.

RE: the mess-- I lay a paper towel on my countertop and line up everything I am going to use on it, and any dust falls there. Then, I use that papertowel to wipe my vanity area off. So-- catches the mess and helps me be neater in general. Also, if wearing your clothes when applying your makeup-- wear your bathrobe over top of your clothes. An extra step that is essential anyway, and a trick I learned from college acting days. (We'd wear bathrobes over our costumes whenever not on stage, including making up, smoking, etc.) These were two habits I had prior to using Everyday Minerals and while they do drop more dust than my old products, they don't make any more of a mess since the papertowel and bathrobe catch it. If you don't like using that many papertowels, then just designate a hand towel to be your makeup towel for the week. I sometimes do that or use a washcloth that I won't be using for my face again (I use a washcloth twice and then wash it-- sometimes it gets a third use as a "makeup cloth" for the counter.) But I personally prefer to just use the papertowel because it seems more sanitary to me.

Hey girls-

I started using mineral makeup about a year and a half ago and haven't touched "regular" makeup since, I love it!

You'd be surprised how many small mineral makeup companies there are. And formulas can differ so if one companies makeup doesn't work for you another's may.

There is a huge forum about mineral makeup on Delphi. They have a ton of info about companies, formulas and how to apply it. I've learned so much there so I just thought I'd pass it along.

Also, if you're leery of trying mineral makeup because you have really dry skin, don't be. I have yucky dry skin that gets worse in winter. This past winter was the first time I didn't have a flaky nose and cheeks and it dawned on me it was because I wasn't putting any chemicals on it!

How does the BLINC do with contacts? I can sleep in my BE just fine, but any mascara drives me nuts, especially if my contacts are out. How does BLINC do? Thanks!

I too ordered the sample of the Everyday Minerals because of this website. ABsolutely loving it and went back to order more. This stuff is awesome - easy to use and very lightweight. This weekend I'm throwing out everything else I have (could probably fill 2 large garbage bags!!!!)

 

[DisneyObsession]

Ordered my Starter Kit from Everyday Minerals and can't wait until it arrives!

I love this make-up and will NEVER use anything else!

I can kiss my husband and not leave any concealer on his glasses! YAY!

I also LOVE the Blinc mascara and am looking into the eyeliner as well. Finally make-up to stay on my face all day!

 

[SunKat]

I ordered the Everyday Minerals too after hearing about it on this site. I love it . I can deal with the mess while putting on the make-up at home, but what do you do when you're out and you need to touch up your make-up? I just know I'll get it all over my clothes! I love the concealer, it's the only thing that's ever worked to lighten up the area under my eyes. I actually look awake now and not like I've just rolled out of bed!

I just bought a bare mineral starter kit yesterday and I love love love it. It blends perfectly, its perfectly light. I will NEVER wear anything else. I had decided to just go all barefaced and scary to disney but now I can actually get in the pictures and look pretty.

I just bought one of those too about a month ago...I'm actually waiting for my mailbox stupid combination lock built in to stop being stubborn so I can GET MY MAIL!!! & PACKAGE SLIP to pick it up! *sigh* hahaha but when i get it i'll report back to see how it goes!

I received my samples and like them so far; very similiar to my BE products. I do have two questios though. Do the EM have sunscreen like the BE products? That's a biggie for me. And, has anyone tried the "green" concealer from EM? I've heard green is the way to go for dark under eye circles. BE doesn't have anything like that, but EM does. TIA!

Another Everyday Minerals user here. I haven't routinely worn makeup for over 10 years, but this year I decided I had to try some of the mineral makeup. A friend introduced me to Everyday Minerals and I love it. I wear the intensive. It does have an SPF of 15 (I think) and I also use a moisturizer with an SPF so I know my face is protected.

The sample sizes are very messy, but I've found the full size to be very usable and not nearly as messy.

I have a daughter who in a few years will be asking to wear makeup. I have no problem with her wearing Everyday Minerals. I love how clear my skin is since I've been using it. I'll be a customer for the long haul.

Soupermom - I too LOVE the everyday Minerals! I have problems with undereye circles. I purchased the EM Sunlight Color Correction and am very pleased with it. Here is the EM description

"Your Sunlight Color Corrector from Everyday Minerals is perfect for the under eye area. It reduces the appearance of dark under-eye circles and puffiness. "

I did not try the green concealer but I have fair to light skin tone. Best of luck!

Yep, any brand of mineral makeup has a natural sunscreen. It was EM that I was wearing in WDW, and it worked better than the "real" sunscreen I put on my body; my bod burned, but my face didn't
Green concealer is for covering redness (pimples, blotchiness etc) it works great. If your undereye circles are bluish like mine, you'll want a yellow coverup.

I have not tried the green concealor for dark circles. I have been using a stick "highlighter" by Benefit it is pink and is PERFECT!!! A makeup secret of Carmindy from "what not to wear" TLC. You can pick it up at Sephora or go tto the web site. Good luck

Gawd, I meant sunscreen, not concealer. That's what happens when I try to do anything at 7:19 AM

 

[hthrbells]

do they sell this at Sephora?

If you are getting a lot on the counter or on you, you are probably putting too much on the brush. Make sure you watch a show on QVC or an infomercial. OR go to a BE store and have them do a make-over on you. (Or a Sephora store).

Put just the tiniest little bit on your kabuki brush and swirl it around in the lid. Tap it on the cover. All of the loose stuff should fall into the lid. Then do your face. I generally do not get much of any fall-out on myself or the counter unless I have put too much on the brush. It doesn't take much!!! If you don't feel you have enough coverage on your face you can always go over it again.

The airline people loved my make-up bag, LOL. No liquid! However, I did forget to take out my lipgloss and mascara so I had to run back to the luggage check-in and ask them to throw them in one of the outside pockets!

Bare Escentuals is awesome. Keep your eyes on eBay also - good place to get different colors or sample eye colors to use. If you can pair up with a 'buddy' in buying the eye-shadows you will do well. I ordered some small make-up pots online and every BE eyeshadow we buy is left in the closet. I take out of it and make a small pot for my daughter, myself, my son's g.f. (who I converted!) and sometimes one of my daughters friends for a treat. There is no way a person would use up the eye shadow in a reasonable length of time unless you only wore one single color every day and slathered it on. The minerals just go so far.
