Thanks makeupbabe & CharmyPoo for the review on the brush. I will definately order one then!

P.S. Got my newest sample order already! Yeah! I was a bit dissappointed that this time no free samples were thrown in though

I wear that shade! I would suggest the Pure Fawn (that's the most true olive shade), but if you're looking more for the gold tone that is in EDM's Golden Medium, I've also had luck with Pure Gold, Pure Tan, and even the Pure Bronze. My best match was a mix of the Fawn, Gold and Tan, all in the "Pure" level. You might want to test one level up or down though, depending on how well EDM's shade matched you. I can get away with the "Soft" level in the winter, and when I get really tan, I can pull off the "Fresh" level.

HTH!

I just place an order with Lauress. Hopefully it work out for me!

hey, how do the samples come, bags or jars?

[hedgiemum]

They come in nice little clear jars, I've got several of them.I'm a bit miffed because I ordered a huge sample batch before the sale appeared on the site, lol!

A very professional company, must say, and good quality products too.

[stacey44156]

is the kabuki any good?

[hedgiemum]

I haven't tried the kabuki before, but most reviews I've seen of it are positive.

[stacey44156]

Thanks, i'll try and look for some!!
Does anyone know whether the samples are say, a full 5 gram jar? or just a certain fraction of a tea spoon?

thanks

Hey I got that too! Haven't heard anything back so I don't know if I'm really signed up for the newsletter. I just want announcements of sales is that really so much to ask?

[stacey44156]

Does anyone know the size of the full size blushes? can't seem to find information on the site

This is what was posted on her forums.

Hi everyone!
I have had a few questions about this, so I thought I would post info here to clarify why you received a confirmation e-mail.
I was preparing the sales letter for the 4th of July sale and realized I had so many people signed up for my newsletter it had bumped us into a higher monthly rate for the service we use. Which is great since we want people to be interested! However, some of the subscribers had not been to our site in a long time and many of the e-mail addresses were bouncing back to us as undeliverable. So, in order to clean up the list we decided it would be best if we sent out an opt-in e-mail. Everyone on our list automatically received this opt-in. I realize this may seem weird if you had just signed up on our site recently, but we were unable to pick and choose who received it and we had some names from 5 years ago that signed up to be alerted when our site was officially open :/
If receiving this e-mail in any way confused or insulted anyone, we are deeply sorry. I was simply trying to keep our monthly costs down, since we only send out newsletters about 6 times a year.
Thank you for understanding and I hope you all opt-in to receive our sale announcements!

I'm not sure why you would think it was rude to begin with. A lot of places send confirmation emails to ensure that you signed up. I realize thats usually right after you sign up and it had been 14 days since you signed up but it's actually polite rather than spamming you with emails you may not have signed up for.
