Thanks for the info, rileygirl. I found a spa that sells their products but they are about 100 miles away soooo I'll just buy some samples I found on Amazon for only $5 each.

Do you use the puff or a brush to apply your orb?


LOL. I wouldn't drive 100 miles to get them either! I use the little puff that comes with it and it works great for me.

rileygirl,
Is this sold in stores or online only? I would think it would be so hard to find a color match. Had you tried any other MMU previously? I guess I could just buy a couple of the travel orbs to try. Any suggestions?
TIA
Jan


I bought this with a voucher after Riley recommended it on another thread and I love it! Smile I have used a number of brands of MMU and this is just like silk going on. I use it both under MMU or alone and it's great on it's own for light coverage. I use a brush only because that's gotten to be such a habit after years of MMU!

That's a great idea Dark Moon! If I can't get the right shade I can always buff on a bit of a MMU sample for color.

I bought samples from several companies a few years ago before I gave up the search. I spent so much time in the backyard with a mirror that my new neighbors either thought I was going through an identity crisis or was the most vain woman on the block. Very Happy

LOL That's too funny I go out with a mirror sometimes to see the hairs I want to pluck so my neighbors probably think the same!

I have the almost clear same shade as Riley and it's very "forgiving" it really blends well as it gives light coverage. I really like being able to just dust and go as I have reached that point where I have no need to do full makeup to go to the store or run basic errands but need the SPF regardless especially here in the Sunshine State! Smile

I agree, There have just been times while caring for my dad and earlier my son just getting anything on was a feat! Vanity just flew out the door back then! Now I am working on taking care of me again, I sometimes think I forgot how! Smile

You are absolutely correct, it's just a question of getting back in the habit of riding that bike! Laughing

Thanks for all the reviews on Colorscience MMU, I'm always experimenting with new MMU and was very keen to try this range as it's sold thu EDS. I'm glad I read all the posts because it has provided me with a lot of hands on informations as far as colour and product choice. It's been very helpful

I also use the Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30. I like it because you can brush it on when going out on your lunch break and it doesn't mess up your makeup that you applied earlier that day. I have had my tube since last summer.

Just a heads up, Colorescience just came out with the Sunforgettable SPF 50, so you might want to check it out:

Thanks for posting that Misty, I will have a look at it, I am really loving the product, the Orb that is, but I need to get my darling daughter something like this, she came home from the beach yesterday with nice red cheeks! Love this age they don't use their heads at times!

has anyone tried the lip serum?
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/colorescience-crystalesci-p_12153.htm

It seems to be a new product (?), at least at EDS. Am rather interested, though not sure about the pink colour...

rileygirl and Darkmoon..

I have the Colorscience 30 now and really like it! It's simple to apply, doesn't leave an oil slick on my face, doesn't create breakouts, and is a good enough price!

I did find it dulled my "glow" a bit tho so I brushed on a bit of the BE Clear Radiance across the tops of my cheeks and nose. It gives a more natural look on me.

Thanks you two for the information! (and all the others that followed)

Riley gets the credit for steering me to the colorscience Zoftig, but I am glad you are happy with it too, I love it. Smile

I adore the clear radiance it gives such a nice glow on the skin, I also have the rose radiance and really like that as well, I even use a touch over eyeshadow and middle bottom lip for that pouty look! Very Happy

The recommendation of friends in a ~ I tried Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF30 Zhezhi brush assessment of a very high sun protection that really changed my sunscreen oil is not some stereotypes do not seem to have bleached out recently to see a PTR only similar products
Zhezhi sunscreen formulations are physical experimental test results have 8 hours waterproof easy to use, but a little more nerve-racking is finished with the mop will not be felt after he wiped his face so often I think in the end there is no friction I bought the uniform A colorless powder he still has a polishing effect is better to distinguish it should turn this week without sunscreen a few zits that I really was very pleased ...

Do any of you use the mist at the end of applying the makeup? I was about to buy a bunch of this makeup from my esthetician, when my skin reacted right after she sprayed the mist all over my face. I immediately felt a warming sensation and then my skin almost started to burn and turned red. The esthetician was very surprised because she has never seen a reaction to this makeup before. Anybody experienced something similar?

I have been using colorescience sunforgettabe spf50 for years and absolutely love it. It has high spf protection with Titanium Dioxide 23.9% and Zinc Oxide 24.1%. I use medium color and I actually use it as foundation and setting powder. It goes on nicely and lasts and doesn't clog pores. I have to say it's a must for me everyday. Why I do not see it here at EDS now?
I used to buy it here.
