Thanks suki i really appreciate the advice, you have tempted me to try again so fingers crossed.

Thanks again for advice
:beer:

One thing I forgot to mention, you may already have an overloaded brush. Either wash and leave it to dry completely - or keep buffing it on a bit of old sheet or something until all the colour comes out. You really do need small amounts, I looked at what I used today and Id say a petite pois rather then a garden pea size

I think i used half a pot and ended up looking like a kid playing with flour lol

Daft me, the stupid stuff choked me lol was an idiot but it was impossible to see what everyone was raving about.

Thanks suki for all your help and advice, i will wait till the weekend when i have a bit more time. Going out to work looking like i've stuck my head in a bag of flour is not a good look :rotfl:

I shouldnt laugh really :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Actually tbh unless you have seen minerals being applied it would be natural to do as you did - and treat it like a powder foundation

Do give it another go - and another and another. Took me a while to get "it right" for me, Having very high colouring and lumpy areas because of Seb derm I just thought I needed loads to cover it, I dont, I just need to buff longer. Now it takes me about two mins to do my face (excluding the time I leave it when while hair drying)

I'm so loving Destiny!

I was just the same - you need so little. I my face looked like the outside crust of lump of stilton when I first put it on. :eek:

I've learnt to use it sooo sparingly. Tricky tho.

Elemental beauty is working for me at the mo - am flared up today - but that is stress, cos I'm flared up on back, legs, arms etc with ezcema - its not a nice look... but hey, I can't be perfect all the time.

I feel a little less daft now thank you :j lol

Still not been confident enough to face being attacked by the mineral mafia :rotfl:

I have printed out the instructions kindly given and promise i will use a little, very little. Erm if i have any left (thought the pot was so tiny and all these people said it lasted a week )

Maybe they could use me for an advertising campagne on how not to use mineral make up :eek:

Im loving my face brush from elemental beauty - 8.99. I find its great for minerals, I prefer it over my Bare escentuals ones. Ebay theres a huge selection of brushes, just search for kabuki or mineral brushes

so is it a flat one im looking for ( as in freejunkies links) or a round one (as in sukis?!)

confused ? you bet lol :rotfl:

i have a round powder brush already,would it harm to use that with my trials ( that arrived this morning )

or would i be better off waiting til i have the real deal ?
