Isn't Silk Naturals Better? :)

Post by marina16 » Thu Nov 13, 2008 12:12 pm

I just made a big order: 5 lippies, 3 blushes, and 3 brushes and the total was $102!!! But I don't mind at all because this is better than buying that much product from another company like BE and spending $300. I did that once, when I just started wearing makeup. WAY too expensive! Their lip gloss and lip sticks run $14-$15 each, blush $18, and the brushes are between $20-$28 and their brushes are SOO scratchy!!! If I was to buy the same amount of lippies, brushes, and blushes from them it would cost me at least $184... probably $200. But wait, that's not counting the shipping and handling! :shock: My order of $102 was after S&H! And SN is soooo much better than them, lol. Nowadays I don't even look at the makeup in our local stores because I know they're not good for my skin. So it's not a surprise that I buy so much here. :D (I just gotta tell my husband now that I spend over $100 on makeup, lol. But he won't mind. ;) )

Yuck! That's where I started using mmu too, and so is my girlfriend. Well, I showed her my brushes that I got in the brush kit from here, and she couldn't wait to get her own. She spends a lot on makeup and was happy to find a full set of sooooooft brushes for less than what she would pay for a so-so brush elsewhere: she told me her Mac blush brush is shedding all over the place! She's now trying my blushes with my fiber optic brush, and I also got her sister the Colors for the Cure set for her birthday, so more orders coming up soon :D

I had just gone back and was reviewing my order. I forgot to mention in my first post that I had also ordered mascara and it was 6 lippies, not 5, lol. I can't wait to give this mascara a try. I've been searching for one that doesn't flake or smudge, 'cause with the ones I've tried I would end up looking like a racoon in about an hour!!! :shock: I read the reviews about it so can't wait to give it a try!

BTW, do large orders normally take longer to process? Mine still says pending since yesterday. :( Oh well, I just can't wait to get it, that's all! :D

Your order should go out today. Large orders run the same processing time, so no worries!

I have to agree that SN is my favorite, too. I feel like one of the luckiest gals alive to be the one that gets to run the forum. The quality of the products is fabulous, and our members are a wealth of information and support. I am so glad you found us! ;)

Oh thanks! That's awesome. :D That means I'll probably get it monday or tuesday. I live in NC so it usually takes only a couple days for me to get the package!

I'm also so glad I found SN! At first I thought that there was nothing better than EDM out there, and I wasn't completely satisfied with them so I was just sucking it up and trying to make it work for me. Then when I gave SN a try I was AMAZED!!! SOOO much better than EDM! Finding my color was piece of cake and on the very first order! With EDM it took me half a year to find my match, and even then I could wear only one formula, Original Glo, which was sucky on the coverage. The others made my face dry out instantly! With SN I started off with the light coverage which was very nice, but then I got medium and now I'm on cloud 9!!! I've told all my family about it, I just love it so much and think it's a miracle makeup. :D
Oh, and don't get me started on your lippies! EDM ones are sucky! They don't have too many color choices, fell really chalky and pasty with a weird lipstick taste to them, and NO staying power at all! They always made my lips dry for some reason... SN's lippies are the BEST I've ever tried!!! I love the colors, how they blend so naturally on my lips, make my lips feel so smooth and moisturized and the staying power is just awesome! One time I put on Grace before bedtime (LOVE that color! didn't think I could wear it until I tried and fell in love) and the next morning my lips were just as soft and NOT A BIT DRY! Usually before bed I have to put some kind of chapstick on so I don't have chapped lips in the morning. Just amazing. Ha ha, I could rant on forever... ;) :D
