Gourmetgirl-

That is exactly what I ordered! I got the small brush. I hope this works! We'll all have to post our results.

I'm in too!

Last year a girlfriend of mine started Mary Kay and to support her business I hosted a party. I ended up buying over $100 in products. This coming from a gal that doesn't wear makeup. And I mean nothing. I don't wear foundation, blush, mascara none of that stuff. But she put it on me and said I needed to have it so I bought it!! Crazy, huh?! (I also felt bad because only 1 of my 5 yeses came to the party)

So now my 3 year old has very expensive med foundation, lipsticks, eye shadows, and blusher to play with. I bought Satin Hands and Lips and use those.

Now that I'm 30 I am noticing the skin on my face has a couple of different skin tones to it. I never got into makeup though and I think if I start messing with it now I would end up looking like a dang clown! I think I'm just better off having light and dark brown spots. Afterall, I'm already married and he's not going anywhere (long story)...who do I need to impress? (and please don't say my custormers--I didn't get into this business to change who I am)

I'm the same way, don't wear makeup at all. Every time I try I end up breaking out and it's too expensive to try all the non-allergenic kinds out there! Plus, like you said, my hubby likes the way I look now, why go and get him all crazy!! hehehe

I do like the satin hands stuff from mary kay though. I bought that stuff many years ago and it still works!! I like to use it on my daughters girl friends when they sleep over and we do "girly" things

Yeah, the satin hands is great. Did you all know they have a new peach scrub out now that comes with the set? It smells so good. Last time I placed an order, I ordered 4 sets so I can use them as Christmas gifts (I get them half price ).

Jennifer - my satin hands set is the new one with the peach scrub. It smells soooo good - just like summertime!

Good Luck to all of you with your samples from Everyday Minerals! I have a friend who uses bareminerals and she has tried mine and says it is just as good. And so much cheaper. My foundation has lasted 5 months. One thing you might want to invest in is a small flat brush for the concealor and eye-shadow. I got a couple at target - the brush part is small like eyeshadow applicator size, with a longer handle. I just dip it in the little pots and then dab it in the top to get some off. the concealor is great around your eyes and on blemishes - then the foundation - dab in the top the same way - your blush (I also got a blush brush from Target) then the finishing dust if you got that. One thing I learned with the foundation - a couple light layers is better than one thick one. Just keep brushing it on until you get it right. Practice! Mine has been on all day - it is 95 degrees here and it is still on!

I have the new peach scrub too! It's great. I won it as the raffle winner when I did a table at an open house type thing at a health club. The event was lame and nobody came (it was about 100 degrees that day), so all of the vendors entered each others' drawings and I won the satin hands set with the peach scrub. So in my mind THAT was worth it!

I learned that too. I have been using the Bare Minerals, but if everyone says Everyday Minerals is just as good, I'll give that a try too!!!!

I got it!Yea! My everyday minerals came just now! One question - do I put the concealer on and then the make up? I know that seems like a silly question - but I've never used this kind of make-up before.......and do I just use the concealer in problem areas, or all over? Thanks for any tips!

 

[Cindycooks]

Becky - I'm so glad you got your products and hope you like them! I bought the mini-brush from Target. I dab the concealor on problem areas first - blemishes and under my eyes. Eyelids too to help set your eyeshadow. Blend well and then rub on your foundation. Follow with blush and then the finishing powder. Good Luck!
