Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
hey, has anyone tried everyday minerals wet?? I use multitask neutral matte for summer and I bought a set of their little purple mixing bowls...
I use aquafina spray and spray a little in the bowl, shake in some foundation, some sunlight concealer, natural radiance fair, some wet sand blush, and mix with my synthetic em brush..then apply and it's lovely.....luminous, and very nice smooth coverage.. I don't think I can ever go back to liquid foundation

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
I got my free sample kit today. ZOMG amazing!!!
My MAC foundations and concealers are in NC20, and i got:
foundations:
(Golden) Golden-Fawn foundation Intensive
(Beige) Beige-Sunkissed Fair founadtion Intensive
(Buff) Buff-Fairly Light neutral foundation Intensive
Intensive finish is great, I never thought mineral make up can give me enough coverage but I love this, it conceales everything. I have combination to normal skin, just for reference.
Oh, the concealer i got was Multi-tasking Concealer and the blush in Back to school hue.
I applied it (with a mini kabuki also bought at everydayminerals) and!!!
Then I saw my face...now I'm a believer
A bit more about foundation shades:
Golden Fawn seems a bit dark, but I used it on my cheeks and works as a subtle blush colour as well.
Buff fairly light neutral is a bit light, so this will be great for winter, but it also looks good now to be honest.
Beige-Sunkissed fair seems awesome though!  I have to give it more test rides before I go for the big mamma version of this, but I'm definitely staying with this finish. I hope the lasting power will be 5 hrs+ as well.
Ahh, can't stop staring at my flawless skin to be honest. Mac liquid foundations nor Studio Tech had never done that for me. I hope this is my new HG skin mu!! If not....I still have enough mac foundations hehe.

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
Just for info:
The website has been updated and re-organized, it looks lovely.
There are, however, a few changes, one for the worse is that (international) shipping used to be $5, now the lowest shipping costs are $24 (I wanted to order another free sample kit and when I procedeed to checkout you no longer had shipping costs $5 but you could choose between various shipping methods and the cheapest is $24. I wonder why such a change.)
EDIT: I tried again a few hours later and the cheapest version was $1.20. Strange.  !

YEP =) That's how I apply my everyday minerals. I spray my brush with mac Fix+ or cinema secret's moisture spray. And then put some foundation on the lid, and tap my brush in to pick up the powder. It feels like mineral foundation but the coverage is almost like liquid. I LOVE IT. plus, it makes you look airbrushed. I know some people who use aquafind spray and even just water and works just as well!

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
i can't believe they're selling the baby kabuki brush now RIGHT after i bought the long handled one!!! and that one doesn't even have a long handle. it's like the size of MAC SE brushes. I was worried about how flimsy it felt when i tested it on my hand, but I guess on the face, it is more dense.

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
I am quite angry at EM at the moment. I put the order in like 10 days ago and they didn't ship it yet. Try to email them but they didn't respond. Oh my. I am running out of foundation soon, too. Not sure why but they have so many problems since the new site was launched!

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
I just ordered the free sample kit and the flat-top brush. I saw Aubrey (on YouTube) with the brush and she recommended it. I'm really excited! I'll let you all know what I think of them once I get them

Re: Everyday Minerals (all)
White_poplar, I don't know why they're not responding to emails, but try contacting them by Live Support. I had some trouble with my recent order, tried sending email through their feedback form at first but as I didn't get any reply there I turned to the Live Support.
Maybe they were too hasty launching the new site. There have been several glitches causing problems with online orders plus they have that -20% campaign so now they're swamped trying to fix the site and keep up with the order processing schedule at the same time.

I placed an order on 10 June, and I think it only just shipped today or yesterday. For ages, my order status was "funded." I imagine the launch and 20% discount must have overwhelmed them with orders!

Such a shame I didn't know there was a discount though. :/ Oh well..
