ooh thanks, samples ordered
may as well try it
I got my samples today (about 2/3 weeks later)
3 foundations, 1 blush, 1 concealer
(i also bought a large size of siesta blush (on back order) and a brow colour)
Cost me $13 including postage
They aren't as finely milled as BE, I like the range of colours in foundation though. The samples are very messy, (they dont have sifters/very small for swirling your kabuki) and if you dont have a kabuki brush, you're gonna have lots of trouble getting them to buff on well. I found they needed a bit more buffing than BE to make it flawless. The colours match better so far, but the quality isnt quite as good, and the one i tried, doesnt give you the "glow" that BE has.
The blushes are my favourite so far. And the brow colour has really impressed me since I havent been able to find a match, but this is fairly close. I'm definitely sticking to mineral makeup from now on. Its very hard to beat BE, but EM is so CHEAP!
Acthally, i think i might buy a EM mini's pack to keep at my b/fs house, because i get fucking powder everywhere when i try to take my BE. A mini's set is like 20 bucks, so i think i can afford that.
