The EM Cosmetics Thread

[Sunnysmom]

Any other EM Cosmetics fans? As she has come out with more new products decided we probably need a thread for her. Just received the new Moonbeam Cushion Highlighter and it’s so lovely and glowy!  Well-priced also. Please share any you have! 

Tagging @itsfi @WinglessOne and @CookieGirl1 as I think you have tried some products and probably have helpful thoughts! 😊

@eshoe so far the only thing I've tried is the Lip Cushion (I got two shades) and I like them but I honestly think that they're a little overhyped. Have 8tried the SEPHORA COLLECTION Melting Lip Clicks Lip Balm or the tarte maracuja juicy lip hydrating balm gloss balm-glosses? The Lip Cushions have very similar packaging and are just a bit less glossy than the aforementioned products.  They're comfortable but at the end of the day I feel like I have tried other similar cream lipstick formulas but these are just slimmer and cuter, lol.

I'm definitely not upset that I got them because I think that they're nice and I like the colors that I chose but for some reason I was maybe expecting them to be a little *extra* or really unique.  Could just be because I had my expectations too high 😂. 

The Heaven's Hues blush in Venetian Rose is still on my "to buy someday" list but it hasn't happened (yet!).  I'd love to know if you end up with anything! 

[eshoe]

Oh yes the Venetian Rose caught my eye, too @CookieGirl1. I appreciate your thoughts on the Lip Cushion. I prefer either long-lasting, creamy satins (which don’t exist in reality 😂) or goopy glosses.

Thanks for the tag, @Sunnysmom , and for starting this thread! Bookmarking now so I can come back later with a few product thoughts. 🙂 

[Sunnysmom]

Yes thanks  @WinglessOne ! I know you didn’t like the brow product or something right? I have not tried that. Will be good to hear all your thoughts on what you’ve tried. 💞

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  Yep, the brow pencil hurt my feelings. Then again, I generally don't like super creamy brow pencils. I need to play a bit more with the Faded Clementine eyeshadow palette... this reminds me to set that out near my brow pencils so I'll use it the rest of this week. 

[Sunnysmom]

That’s right. Good to know @WinglessOne . 
Oh you have the eye palette! I think that looks so nice , I was curious about it. It’s been on my list since spying it! 

[eshoe]

Do have any strong feelings about Brow Wiz, @WinglessOne? I am not a fan of creamy eye pencils, either. That is the only one that has worked for me so far. Is there is something better out there, I would love to know about it! @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

I am liking MERIT Brow 1980 Volumizing Eyebrow Pomade Gel Black Brown and

Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil Warm Brunette but those are probably too creamy for you @eshoe ? 

[eshoe]

Hmmm I don’t know, @Sunnysmom. I am currently alternating between Glossier Boy Brow and Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel Clear. I used to prefer the ABH for how it freezes everything in place, but as I’ve had to mess with my routine thanks to running out of Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz® Ultra-Slim Precision Detailing Eyebrow Pencil, I’ve found the Boy Brow more amicable. It lets me play around with my brows more before calling it quits out of frustration.

[Sunnysmom]

I am crazy about the Merit @eshoe . I am such a brow rookie and this seems to have the perfect consistency. It’s so easy and I have small sparse brows. It’s not too wet or flaky at all. Prob not as wet as Glossier or Benefit which I have tried in the past. 

[eshoe]

Very helpful @Sunnysmom, ok maybe I will try the Merit then. I still am curious about the MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Terracotta, so it might be a good excuse to try a little more from the brand, thank you!

[Sunnysmom]

Here are some of my Em C. I love how thoughtful she is with her products. Well- edited collection. (One small issue I would say is when some items are discontinued, which I did not include, but I guess that’s ok as she continues to improve and evolve her collection. 😊)

@Sunnysmom, wow! Your collection of Em Cosmetics is beautiful! 😍 Those swatches are great, and really helpful. Both the powder blushes look so pretty. Have you layered them with her serum blushes? 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @itsfi , I hope you’re liking yours as well! Yes it works beautifully when layered with either of them or any other powdered blush! So smooth isn’t it? 

[itsfi]

Yes, @Sunnysmom, very smooth. The serum formulation is nice, especially when my cheeks may be feeling a little dry. She has a fun range of shades in the collection, so I'll probably keep an eye out for sales throughout the rest of the year. 😀 Will try layering it with some of my other powder blushes. 

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @itsfi , they feel so moisturizing on a drier skin day and I love their little glow! I’m kind of wondering if one of them is similar to LE pink soap blush color. Realize not in form or texture but maybe the shade. 🤔 Bet she’s due for another % off soon don’t you think? I’ll be sure and post/tag you when I see one ! 🥰

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, she had a promo recently, which is when I picked up the serum blush and had my choice of a lip gloss product. 😊 I haven't kept an eye on her site much, but maybe she'll have a sale for 4th of July? Or maybe for back to school? Awww, thank you so much; that's really thoughtful of you to tag me if there's a sale. Only if you remember though.

[Sunnysmom]

Oh right right @itsfi I do remember she had that one. That’s great time to try new products. Feels like less of a risk! Are you liking the lip gloss? Forgive if we discussed this! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will def let you know when I see another promo also. My memory is so selective. Lol. For the most important things of course 😂! 

[itsfi]

Eeek @Sunnysmom! I haven't tried the lip gloss ... yet. I'm not always the best at diving right in when I get a product. 😞 If I remember, I will give it a try this weekend. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ha @itsfi ! I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done the same at times! That’ll be a fun treat then! 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom Oooh, you have such a beautiful collection!  I'm low-key a little jealous :).
