I have Girls Day, which makes a good lip color, but I don't like it on my cheeks. Too shiny, too dark. So, I'll just mix it with some clear gloss and use it on my lips.

I believe I got Snooze Bar with my kit, and also some really pale pink that's meant for a highlighter. Haven't gotten my stuff yet (should get it tomorrow or the next day), so I haven't tried them. But, I think they'll be nice.

i dump a little bit in the lid of the jars, and swirl my brush in it and apply it. works great for me that way. the same way i do my foundation. i love EM, its a great alternative to the more expensive BE. and this doesn't make my skin itch.

i love their apple blush, it has a pearl sheen to it. makes you glowy. siesta is a b eautiful color as well, perfect pink peach on those light makeup days! and chit chat, although the sample one i loved more than the full size - they just made a big move to big production facility and the color is a bit off than the sample. i only have one eyeshadow from them, and its the dark purple. its okay i guess? i use it as a liner though, and to darken my crease when i wear purple eyeshadow. all in all, i love their products

I like the fact that you can get their sample set and try a bit of everything - I think their Nick Nack blush is a bit blah for me . I prefer blushes with a bit more sheen to them.
Their foundations are alright. Lots of people rave about them but I'm not sure loose foundations are my thing.

I do rather like their foundations, but I prefer Alima's foundations. Both are good, although EDM is the kind I'll use everyday if I just wanna look alright. If I wanna look fantastic, I'll go for Alima.

I didn't think powder foundations would be my thing, either, until I started applying them with a flocked sponge, and then I was like "OH THESE ARE GOOD!"

what do you mean by look fantastic? is it better coverage?

I prefer Alima over EM too. Alima is more finely milled and seems to apply more smoothly, EM looked really chalky and cakey on me.

Thought I would post my favorite blushes!

i have Girl's Day...it is such a beautiful blush. i love the color and the glow it gives my cheek bones. all of your other EM blushes look so lovely! i need to invest in more colors myself :-)

Thanks so much! I love EM blushes, but the colours never match what I see on my computer screen!

I have quite a few, I will try and swatch them this week.

OH man. I see why people rave so much about Siesta now, based on that swipe on your skin. I wish I had some!

i've been contemplating about trying EM as opposed to BE...i've personally never tried BE but once i heard about the bismuth oxychloride and how people have had a lot of reactions to it, i figured that i would stay away because i have sensitive skin and that would probably cause irritation. what are your thoughts on EM? favorite products (eyeshadows, lip colors, blushes...)?

and how would i go about choosing a foundation color? as of now i don't wear foundation so i'm totally lost. my veins look more greenish to me than blue so i would assume that i would have more golden undertones? i know that choosing a foundation color when ordering online is risky, so is EM sold in stores anywhere?

thanks for your help, ladies

They're pretty good. Their Light Pink blush is pretty nice to dust all over and kinda brighten the complexion.

Foundations are pretty good, too. Intensive is a good formula.

It's not easy to just guess a color, so definitely get their sample kit, which is free. You just pay shipping. You can try a bunch of shades. Just try one from each undertone you think you might use.
