I received my first order, thanks SN!!!!!!!

Post by eliz1 » Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:58 pm

I switched over here from EDM and I have found something I like equally as well, IF NOT MORE!!!!, than Natural Reflections!!!! I got my SN order yesterday and have fallen in LOVE with the Perfecting Powder, Splendid Perfecting Glow and the Tinted Perfecting Powder Tempt Tryst!!!! I haven't tried mixing the foundation yet so I applied them over my EDM foundation and it gives it such a natural and subtle finish -- a nice dewey look which is hard to pull off when you have oily skin like I do! I ran out of face room to try the Dait Bait but love it's subtleness on my hand. SN also sent me for free a little baggie of Gargle Blaster eye color which appears to be a pretty, sparkly greyish/greenish color and I wrote in 2 different eye shadows with a note saying I wasn't sure if I was supposed to pick one or 2 and they sent a nice note saying they included both -- thank you SN!! I got Boom and Cashmere which I love as well. I never had much luck with EDM eyeshadows so I'm especially pleased!!!

I can tell I'm going to like the Sleep in a Jar but I ordered the Extra Light Peach and I should have ordered the darker one.

I hope my foundation mixing goes well -- I have to admit, I'm a bit intimidated by the process! But anyway, so far so good and I love the finish the Perfecting Powders give!!!!! I did myself a disservice by sticking with only one company and not trying over here long ago!! so

I have very acne prone skin so I'm SO hoping this doesn't break me out. So far so good! I will DEFINITELY be ordering again!!!

I felt the exact same way when I got my first package. Today my second one arrived and it was even more fun :o I also got the extra light peach SiaJ, I darkened it with the peach foundation sample until it matched my skin.

Eliz, I’ve also ordered the Perfecting Powder which should get here in the next day or two…I can’t wait!! I just placed another order with two lip glosses (Breathless and Nectar) plus a few skincare samples. I find I place smaller orders more frequently with Silk Naturals (is that a good thing? ;) ), which I never used to do with EDM. I was always waiting until I had at least enough items to get the discount.

Wow - something you like as well or better than NR? That's high praise, coming from you!

I've already started another cart with the hopes of ordering by the weekend!!! I didn't notice a peach foundation clivia, I'll look for it! I want something that comes close to EDM's Multitasking and that I can use as an all over concealer:)

I KNOW Melon, I can see my NR's being pushed to the back of the closet or given away soon!!!! :D

Here is the link to the peach base color for foundation: http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/index.php?cPath=30_140 . It is very concentrated, so use the tiniest bit at a time. I over-darkened my concealer with it and added zinc powder to lighten it up. Looks great and feels wonderful.

That is high praise about the pushing back of NR. I'm ordering samples of several perfecting powders. What are your thoughts about Date Bait and Tempt Tryst? They're both in my cart.

I really like them both Lambchop! Date Bait has more pink to it while Tempt Tryst is more of a golden color -- looks like foundation in the jar. But both are very sheer and wearable! You should throw in the plain Perfecting powder too! Can't wait to hear how you like it all:)
