Thanks, I received the code from her and its easy to use.
What does everyone think of Miessence? One of my clients talked about them yesterday as we chatted about the other client who introduced me to The Organic Makeup Company.
Apparently this client buys product through her friends and we also brought up Aubrey Organic which I have used, but their makeup line is limited. |

I have heard of Miessence here, but have not seen it in shops.
A friend in Hawaii placed an order for the Organic Makeup and the code worked metrovegan.
Has anyone tried the products from Paul Penders? They seem to have a complete line as well. |

Is it me, or is The Organic Makeup Company the only one that offers a vegan and all natural line that offers pressed powders? 
I looked around and most others seem to offer loose powders only.
Is there a reason why they seem to be the only one offering pressed powders while others offer loose?
It seems most of the top conventional brands are offering pressed powders. |

Tinkerbell..............thanks  .i emailed your friend and she gave me the code..........i saved $26.......which was really helpful....... since it meant.........i got the powder free!!!....thanks again............
regards Karina
p.s. i just started another thread on the Organic Makeup Company.........and only realised after that there already was a thread on this site.......duh or what........ 
Anyway........the thing that really made me buy from the company (apart from Tinkerbell's great help in getting the 20% discount code)...was that the company actually 'make up' your products there and then once they receive your order........they don't have massive stocks in a warehouse or anything.......see the quote below
" All orders are made fresh for you once your order has been received. Please allow 2-4 weeks for your shipment to arrive to you."
Very impressive!!!!
Just a last thought, wouldn't it be nice if they did an eyeshadow palette...........instead of having several little pots..........easier to carry and open.............!!!! |

You are most welcome Karina! 
I did not know they made all their products fresh! Wow, that's a first for me!
FYI, I also heard this line is now finally available in the USA  at the following,
www.faunafree.com
I took a quick look and they are offering customers an introductory discount!
Too bad, cause I already made my order a few days ago, but atleast I know now that I can get the line without all the duties  , charges and save some shipping costs .
Have a wonderful day! |

A friend in Canada just got her shipment of skin care items from the Organic Makeup Company.
She said that so far everything works well and the dead sea mud mask has been able to get rid of her blackheads in her nose and face.
It was funny as she did not realise that all the products are quite concentrated and use some of the products too liberaly at first, but she now realises that she only needs a few drops of the oils and creams to do the job she needs.
So far she says the line is "quite da bomb" and is waiting to try the makeup line. She said she's waiting for the eyeshadows to be done before she goes for that end of the product line.
By the way, anyone try their eyerest and neck pillows yet? I saw something similar at Sak's Fifth Avenue, but theyy wanted about $35 for something similar. |

One of my clients decided to make a switch to the organic makeup company from Zuzu Luxe and Gabriel cosmetics she's been using for a few years.
She said the skin care system and the lip colors work a lot better than the Gabriel and Zuzu lines. I guess the other determining factor was that this client's sister had some skin sensitivities and Organic Makeup worked for her.
Funny, my client's sister was informed by her dermatologist that Jane Iredale is the most neutral line of makeups available, but it didn't work. Afterwards the dematologist said there is no other makeup lines that will work for her, but the Organic Makeup seemed to do fine. Funny!
I guess it goes to say that not all doctors are right and that people have different skin conditions! |

| I'm not really a 'natural' skincare type, but I was wondering do any of you recommend a natural sunscreen? I'm having serious doubts about the chemical ones. |

| I just received my first shipment of OMC products last week. I agree with Metro Vegan's Canadian friend that the mud mask really helped with the blackheads on my nose too. I like the face oil and 4 drops are enough for my whole face and neck. I am also trying the exfoliant with their activator..... but I am not crazy about this. I find the flakes are too large for my liking. |

Des,
Is the face oil very concentrated? 4 drops to cover a face is very good! Does is absorb well?
For the exfoliator, I did not have problems with the exfoliant itself. I think you may have made it a bit too pasty.
I do agree that the mud mask does wonders and my pores have really been cleaned out.
Did you order some of the makeup too? Any feedback if you did? I am still quite the fan of the lipstick and foundation. |

Do you girls use the powder on top of the liquid foundation? I've never used a power after liquid to set my make up (I hardly wear make up as it is!)
Would someone mind pm'ing me the discount code?!

Hi Style Guru,
The oil indeed feels concentrated. For the first couple of days, I used quite a bit more than 4 drops (just old habits of using "dime" size amount of product) and found that it felt like I ended up with more oil left over on my hands than on my face.
re whether is absorbs well... I haven't tried waiting to see how long it takes for the oil to completely absorb since I usually go to bed almost right away but my face is quite soft and not greasy at all in the morning.
May be I am just not using the exfoliator right. I put the recommended amount of dry exfoliator in my palm and add a few drops of the activator, mix it until it is pasty, then I massage it on my face. It's not really a problem, I guess I just haven't gotten used to the texture of this product.
I did order a lip gloss from OMC -- the non-shimmer one (I forgot what it's called). It has a lot more color/tint than I expected from a lip gloss. I love the color and a little goes a long way. However, I don't find it glossy enough (or at all!) and that it is really thick, almost like it's dried out a bit. I definitely can't use this without a mirror. What I do is I dab the lip gloss onto my lips with the wand and then spread/even it out with my finger, otherwise too much color and too much product.

Hi Des,
For the 20% coupon, send a note to kenneth_e_jameson (AT) yahoo.com.au and they'll forward it to you.
I got my code from here and the lady here is using the entire line and has also given me some tips on using the products.
As for the exfoliator, I think you just need to adjust the mixture for your own needs as its worked well for me and my clients.
Since the line is "all natural", I think you may need to get used to some of the limitations natural ingredients, but for overall price, quality, look and feel, I have no complaints so far. |

One of my salon clients is interested in the facial cleaner from the Organic Makeup Company.
Has anyone feedback on this item?
I have not tried this yet, but have been using the Dead Sea Mud Mask and exfoliator. |

| I have tried numerous mineral make up lines and it seems that I react to every one of them. I recently discovered MyChelle natural and organic skin care and make up at my local Whole Foods market. I just purchased a mineral stick cream foundation in Porcelain. It is not tested on animals. I have not tried it yet, but am hoping that I finally have found a foundation that works for my sensitive skin and will not irritate or break me out. The MyChelle product line looks excellent. The price for the foundation is around $25. I will report back my experiences with this cream mineral foundation. |

I have bought a few items from the website:
www.anbmall.com
it is a website that lists all the smaller natural cosmetics companies in the US.
but it is just smell companies it seems.
not all are vegan though,some use emu or beeswax.
For mineral makeup I really like Abbey St Clare brand. |

Eminence organics is really good,and Priori has a very good mineral powder foundation.
Duchess Marden
has very good organic toner: This product is most often used as a gentle organic facial toner. The natural properties of rose water make this solution antiseptic, and great for cleansing or exfoliating purposes. Derived from fresh pink damask rose petals that are steam-distilled in cooper kettles. Has a sweet rose like scent. |
