((I actually wrote this on Thursday…just got too lazy to proof to publish..))

So I slept pretty late last night . So in turn, woke really late.

At one point, I felt like I had heard some sort of action at my front door. Meaning that something was dropped off. So eventually I woke up, when I realized that that something might have been one of my mini hauls (actually in my case, regular hauls. I don’t have money to make them any larger!).

So I went out, and looked down. There in between the space from the screen door, to the actual door, was a box. A rather cute box that pretty much fit in the palm of my hand. And there, on the label, read “EVERY DAY MINERALS”.

I ran back to my room, cut open the box, pulled out my camera, and started unfolding the layers of tissue paper.

Unfortunately my hands started sparkling. Huh?! Turns out, that the sample blush, “Office Space” That I got as part of the sample kit, had leaked. Upon closer inspection, it seems as though the sifter had not been closed properly, meaning that the lid didn’t close properly, and therefore jostling in transit, caused quite a bit of the product to leak on everything it was wrapped with. And when I say quick a bit, I mean like a few days worth of blush. AH! Sucks cause I kinda like the colour. Though personally for me, I wouldn’t use it as a blush, it’s a little too sparkly for that. I would use it as a highlighter for my eyes, meaning it would last me even longer!

Anyway, using the website email form, I sent them a reply, to see what they will say. I had noticed that my concealer, the other part of the sample kit, wasn’t closed properly, just like the blush. But in this case, nothing was leaked. LUCKILY!

So my review? Well. Will come eventually. But seeing as everyone has done a review on it, and they are so much more qualified to do such reviews, it might be better to look for them, instead of waiting for me to shell one out.

In short though. Without having actually used the products, would I actually buy things from them again?

The simple reply is, no. I wouldn’t. Though that’s mainly cause of the shipping costs to send it to Canada.

I paid a little over 6 dollars, and the package said something more along the lines of 3. I know that there are costs for shipping equipment, and handling, but it just didn’t seem worth it with the amount of stuff I bought. Also, if you are desperately in need of the product, it takes a bit long. Obviously cause it’s shipped to Canada.

So basically, being in Canada sucks. Especially when such awesome companies exist in the US and it costs so much to ship to us. Damn. But then again, my review might change once I actually try out the stuff I bought. And to be fair, they don’t send stuff in dinky ziplock bags (sorry SN!). Even their samples arrive in actual containers. But in my view, I wouldn’t care even if they did come in dinky ziplock bags, especially if it means that I can save some money to buy more from the companies I love^^

So there is my “short” (LOL) review on the overall buying/receiving experience from EDM.

Let’s hope that I have a kickass experience with the products to change my mind about the whole buying from them again.

Even though my sample blush leaked all over the place :)
