You can find the promotion codes along with some news at the forum that's under "Community".

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!

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!

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! |

Question about the brushes --
Are the long-handled kabuki and the flat-top brush different enough to own both? If not, which is better? I might turn to MMU foundation again eventually but for now I'll mostly be using the brushes to apply my studio fix and natural reflections finishing powder. Is the baby buki worth having?
Also, which shade of Natural Reflections for an N5 skintone (NW20-25)? I may get tanner still (I'm in San Diego, our summer just started, and possibly spending the fall in Costa Rica) so better to go darker than lighter, but not too dark obviously.

The Flat Top is really nice if you need to cover fairly large spots (like red blotches or rosacea) with concealer or get a little carried away with blush and need to buff it out a bit, but I vastly prefer the rounded top of the Long Handled Kabuki for foundation. The baby 'Buki would be nice in your purse for touch ups (although I just carry a Puff Jar), but what I really like it for is buffing the area under my eyes to fight the dreaded crepe look (I'm going to be 52 in a couple weeks) you can get when wearing mineral make up.
I love the coverage of EDM and since summer finally got here have been pleased to realize that it doesn't melt off in the heat like my liquid/cream foundations did.

I am so devastated! I have been in love with Everyday Minerals for a couple of months--I ordered several full-size foundations, concealers, and finishing dusts, but I've been noticing I have been breaking out pretty severely. At first, I assumed it was stress and/or hormones, but I've come to the conclusion it must be the EM (it's the only different thing I have added to my face routine). The concrete evidence was after I put on my foundation on in the morning, multiple blemishes (5+!) would appear throughout the day. Sigh. I really loved EM, because it is so inexpensive compared with other mineral companies and I really love the fast shipping and the color selection. I guess it's back to Meow for me.

Great prices compared to BE! I love that it has such a variety of colors! The sample kit is absolutely awesome!

Which formula did you use? I've heard many people complain about the Intensive foundation. Can't tell if it still applies, but in her blog Carina (EM's owner) once mentioned that the Intensive formula contains some special ingredients along with the usual micas and oxides. For some people these additives cause breakouts and such. I remember having issues with drought and blackheads while trying out Intensives. Original Glo was even worse for me as it really dried my skin out and caused some strange little pimples that were more like tiny blisters... Never had any problems with Semi-Matte or Matte, so I'm sticking with these.
Thanks to a friend on another forum, I've now also tried out Alima, LaurEss and Dreamworld foundations and am still ranking EM's semi-matte as my ultimate favourite. I'm also praising the new Start to Finish Rice Powder. To my combination skin it works a lot better than Finishing or Silk Dust as it won't dry my skin or mattify too much (I like my semi-matte as it is). It seems to be much more finely milled than the old setting powders, which probably contributes to the less chalky finish.
Oh... and YAY!! I finally found my perfect match in foundation shades: Light Medium w/ Golden and Olive Fairs. It seems I'm kind of neutral-ish, olive-ish light golden but not quite as yellow as most mineral golden and olive foundations tend to be...
