EMINENCE ORGANICS SKINCARE REVIEW | PRO SKINCARE REVIEW | LICENSED ESTHETICIAN | KRISTEN MARIE

[@KikiElise]

Kristen I am about to graduate esthetician school! Where I am the required hours are 600 and I'm so close! Your channel has been part of the reason why I went to esthetician school. I absolutely adore your channel. Everything about it. I've been looking into Eminence products so I love that you uploaded this! Maybe you can do an updated Dermalogica review with your favorite/least favorite products? Thanks for the reviews on Image, Skin Script, and now Eminence!

[@kristenmarieco]

Awsome! Im so happy my channel has been helping you! It's comments like this that keep me going. 😊Good luck in esthetician school! You got this!

[@tcourtney08]

The spa i work at uses Eminence! I was honestly super thrilled considering in school I did research on a couple other skincare brands, and Eminence stuck out to me because of the uniqueness & their philosophy. The products you mentioned are personal faves are the same for me as well! Also, did not think of mixing blueberry with mangosteen, definitely gotta try that!! Our spa has a rep who comes 3-4 times a year to teach us product knowledge on current products & new products. I’ll truly say in my opinion, I see most results using other brands than Eminence . And I agree , Citrus & Kale does smell a bit icky lol Thank you for you videos you’ve truly been so helpful in my journey!!❤

[@megankelley1376]

They also don’t add ANY water in to their products, so you are definitely supposed to dilute appropriately.

[@laceyw3641]

Citrus and Kale masque mixed with strawberry rhubarb masque helps the “salad” smell. I smell both the citrus and kale when using on clients. I have been using Emience for over 8 years. Using less of their product as well especially with bright skin masque is helpful when using it as a facial massage.

[@queeninadream_]

I don’t like it when brands label themselves as “chemical-free”… Everything is a chemical. And chemicals aren’t bad for you! It comes down to the formulation… Various cosmetic chemists have debunked this greenwashing claim but I know they have a massive following but just unfortunate their marketing is just not it.

[@xochequetsal]

For real, I did a training with one of their official trainers and she claimed that none of their products contained any alcohols at all. I thought that was a bold claim so I searched for ingredients and low and behold, natural alcohol as a preservative. She was adamant. "THATS NOT OUR WEBSITE!" So just stood up, went to our cabinet and pointed it out on the box. 🤭

[@queeninadream_]

@@xochequetsal EXACTLY, nothing they're claiming is factual. Various Cosmetic chemists have been debunking this fear mongering these "all-natural/clean" brands put out. It's exhausting! Sure they might be an amazing brands but their ideals don't align with me. I tried listening to their acne talk during the Chicago Beauty Show but nope...

[@VerifiedVegan]

This lady misspoke They don’t label themselves ALL chemical free …they have their own biodynamic farm, green offices, B corporation, they are FREE FROM parabans, animal byproducts, propylene glycol, SLS, harmful colorants and fragranges, mineral oils, petroleum and several other HARSH COSMETIC CHEMICALS. lastly it’s really ignorant to say EVERYTHING is a chemical. Fruits, herbs and vegetables aren’t chemicals and that’s the make up of all their products.

[@marieyuko]

When I was working at the spa carrying Eminence in Vancouver, there was an in-person training with a rep once every 3 months! And she was great and detailed in product knowledge training and demo. But honestly pricing is very high! And I totally agree with favourite and least favourite products!! I didn’t like Kale serums and masks at all…but I love mangosteen peel and stone crop ❤

[@kristenmarieco]

Yess most of their products smell sooo good but the kale one..😖

[@mariahmcbride9017]

Love seeing fellow estheticians using Eminence! It’s so slept on!

[@kristenmarieco]

Right?! More ppl need to know about this great product 😍

[@meechie1997]

The spa I'm with rn carries Eminence and I do think it's beautiful line! However, I don't think it's great for many clients especially those who are looking for acne and age management. Our rep is really kind and let's us text her when we have questions and we usually get gratis after we do in person trainings. I work with a couple of other lines that I believe are more result driven so I usually gravitate towards them over Eminence. I do really love the clear skin line, mangosteen backbar, and facial recovery oil tho! Also I've been using their new kombucha line and so far I'm enjoying it

[@kristenmarieco]

Ooouu I'll have to try that kombucha line!

[@amandapaige1626]

I love the new kombucha line! I've definitely enjoyed using it on clients!

[@ayanmalin2875]

Loving this episode. In the UK 🇬🇧 the opening order is £750 excluding VAT tax which is like 20%.

[@brittanycravo4100]

You know what’s funny! I LOVE citrus and kale serum & mask.❤ I feel like the serum is great for oily skin types.. so if you hate heavy serums, this is more lightweight and the mask stinks but I feel like it gives a great glow to the skin ✨

[@timothyhazelo2039]

The Citrus and Kale Serum and Masque are the two best "mixable" products. For example, four drops of Marine Flower serum and four drops of Citrus and Kale serum has a dramatically positive effect on the skin. Or the Citrus and Kale Masque with the Strawberry Rhubarb Masque. You should get about 150-200 uses from the 8oz pro products, only a tiny amount is needed.

[@timothyhazelo2039]

Honestly, you might even be able to stretch the pro sizes to like 300 uses honestly.

[@captainMAE]

I've literally been thinking about investing in this brand for the past 2 weeks. Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful. I started watching your channel when I was debating Esthetician school and I am now a little over halfway through my program.

[@kristenmarieco]

So cool! I hope you're enjoying the journey of Esthetician school! I'm so happy my videos have been helping you☺

[@thatderangedbunny]

Do it! You won’t regret it!!!

[@FashionNirvana]

New esthetician here! My spa I am currently working at does use Eminence and DMK products. Thank you for sharing your experience using the products. So far I do love the Eminence line. Just a matter of learning and educating myself more to create a proper plan for my clients. The mangosteen smells like heaven!

[@kristenmarieco]

Welcome to the Esti world! So much fun stuff to learn! Good luck 🙌

[@desi5521]

It does depend on your tiers as far as the education. I am a solo esthetician and partnered with Eminence. But yes, I totally agree that for a solo esthetician, they are very pricey.

[@maisonlaspalmas]

I carry Éminence and I have an online account where I can place orders, have access to a tone of imformation including marketing material and more. Also they do in person trainings and also have online personal trainings every 3 months :)

[@cupcake2050]

can you do a video sharing your thoughts on DMK?? I’ve heard about it and wanna know more about that brand

[@Justonevideoplease]

They are amazing! I can’t deny! Wish it was cheaper but wow their stuff works

[@desi5521]

When I inquired about their brand when I was in esti school, they did send me a nice samples package.

[@kristenmarieco]

Love that!

[@AmandaDeFabrizio]

Definitley would love to hear your opinions on Skinbetter Science! and also ZO. I'm a little on the fence about ZO products.

[@anjeanettesalom]

I would love to see a review for Lira Clinical, Skinceuticals, or PCA skin!!

[@viipaa]

Thank you for this information. Biodynamic skincare is truly something else. I’m interested in low-tox lifestyle and going to try this brand again. I have experienced these products sprouts 15 years ago.

[@marinadesantis8558]

Thank you for this video Kristen!! I am an estie student with hopes of going solo one day and I am also an eminence ride or die since 2014! I worked in a spa at the front desk for 2 years back in 2014 and we had an amazing rep who came quarterly to educate us and because I believed in the products and saw results, the guests thought I was an estie because I knew so much! I did reach out to them for my business project at school and their opening order was steep! But that does include the testers, and retail, not just backbar. They also sent me the order form and protocols. I will say Eminence is a luxury brand and people will seek out your spa if you use Eminence, but I am worried about the price point for people who don’t know or care about Eminence’s business practices. With that said, I was able to create fun, seasonal facials (for my business plan) with their offerings and I am not sure I can do that with Image or a few other brands, so if that’s something you plan on offering they rock at that! Thanks again! I love your content and it’s been so educational and enlightening!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@c_r_c_photo]

Love Eminence. Just a wonderful brand love the ingredients. I have been using it for years .

[@alexa39estrella]

Hey Kristen! Love your videos! Been watching you throughout my whole career as an esthetician & i would love to see if you can do a review on IS clinical! They’re a brand I’ve been seeing more and more and would love to see your opinion!

[@kristenmarieco]

Absolutely! More to come!😊

[@jaydenwren5012]

Eminence does have ongoing education but sometimes I do feel like I have to reach out to receive it. I am a solo aesthetician and it’s kind of feels like they expect me to know everything about the brand and my one on one training‘s sometimes make me feel dumb. they also push you really hard to spend more and more and more money, realistically I wish that they were more catering to solo aestheticians because I think we could really grow their brand but they don’t really give us a chance. when I was going to open up my account with eminence they were so picky about how many miles away I was from the nearest spa that carried eminence , they made me send pictures of my entire suite and the outside of my building and they even make you some pictures of retail shelving that you’re going to use.

[@kristenmarieco]

You are so right! We could definitely help grow their brand so much more

[@jenniferburton7044]

You’re a solo esthe. That’s why they’re not showing up for education. You need 2-3 employees. Minimally.

[@jaydenwren5012]

@@jenniferburton7044 I mean i do still sell Eminence even though im a solo esty.

[@kimberlyh3468]

That's just how it smells 🤣 I don't use it on clients, however after reading comments I'm going to try mixing it with the strawberry rhubarb, maybe even the stonecrop since it is more of a similar consistency. I love their new bakuchiol and niacinamide moisturizer!! My skin loves ittoo!!!

[@Desert_Sunflower]

So I work at a studio where we use eminence and they have a rep that comes out every 3 months for education which is always exciting because we learn about new products, existing back bar products and sometimes hands on techniques. So maybe just depends on the studio. The rep is so passionate about the products and company and she gives out ideas for sales, samples and we also get gratis from the line we learned about. It seriously makes it hard for me to leave the company because this has been such a great perk. I absolutely love eminence and it is pricey but so worth it, especially those discount's help. I do wish we got to play with more products back bar especially the spicy stimulating ones and the peels. Always good to have on hand. Been trying to get a hold of them for myself for home but doesn't seem like we're allowed 😮‍💨

[@andrealynem2760]

Eminence makes it very hard for new estheticians to carry that line

[@Dani-in7fi]

Just wanted to mention that vaseline is derived from petroleum and is widely used in a number of medical applications and is not considered toxic.

[@liliz639]

I am a cosmetologist in Mexico and I have been using Eminence for more than 2 years and I love that if when I started using the product I bought many things that I later realized were not so necessary and I did not like the results like the bright skin masque I think the same no not even the bamboo age corrective masque is worth the super heavy texture I didn't like it at all my favorites because they are very versatile are stone crope masque, clear skin probiotic masque, eight greens hot, and in rosehip treatments with this I do heat treatments and cold next to the eight greens hot I would recommend buying the travel kit it brings a little of everything and they are divided by sensitive skin, clear skin, bright skin and is better to try and not buy products that are not needed

[@lorenadavila3161]

Hey girl have u tried laurel or blissoma. .? Their kinda like eminence thanksss❤❤❤

[@lorenadavila3161]

Or farmhouse fresh

[@robynwickland5632]

I absolutely love the Strawberry Rhubarb Hydrator. Do you have a recommendation for a dupe that might be more pocket friendly?

[@neffertitibeauty4422]

I have an account and yes you can online order, half price testers, samples etc come in the order. I do agree the high opening order is a little wild, but once you start to use the product and learn to mix etc you get really good results. But not the best for beginners I do agree

[@TheAlicia1969]

I actually use a lot of their sample sizes before purchasing a regular size. That way, if something doesnt' work, I haven't spent too much, or wasted, money.

[@Isdrusa]

Hey! I'm about to take my state boards next week and am struggling with deciding who to order from. I've tried Skin Script, and worked with Dermalogica Pro at school. I've also got some samples from Circadia and loveddd them. Could you do a review on Circadia? :D

[@electraelsewhere]

Hi Kristen! For years I’ve been searching for reviews of Shira skincare. I learned about Shira from my certified esthetician, and have loved the results. The price is reasonable, and the products go a long way. The shir-organic line is my favorite. They don’t have a lot of public awareness, so I’ve never found an honest review from someone who does this type of thing, let alone an esthetician! From what you’ve described off your practice, I wonder if you’ve heard of them, tested them, etc., because I’m curious how they stack up against more expensive/well known lines like eminence or skin script which I’ve just begun to try out of curiosity if they’re better. They’re just too expensive for me to try more because Shira is working really well. So I am looking for guidance on how Shira stacks ups against other lines and specific comparable products between lines. I’d be happy to chat more about products I’ve used if you like. Please help!!

[@clove6260]

I was excited to try Eminence and when I went to the booth at a convention they were so rude. I did grab some of the product samples but I was not impressed.

[@alwayswantingtochange]

I have sensitive combination skin and am working to the bone to buy these products. What are your most favourite products of all time

[@jasl9987]

I am a skincare junkie. Im also an Esti but not practicing. I have tried so many professional/ medical grade products. I dont think I've ever seen my skin change like I have while using these products! Absolutely amazing products. I dont know what is in there but its gold! I almost want to gatekeep them because they are THAT good. 🤎

[@susanshaw2507]

Hi, are you still using Eminence products ? Are there any favourites of their products that you would recommend for fine lines/anti-aging ? I’m 58 with dry/normal skin type

[@jasl9987]

@@susanshaw2507 yes I am still using them! I do have a couple favorites. My sister works for a salon and they throw alot of product away so I've tried ALOT. I'll tell you what I've repurchased.....marine peptide flower concentrate, bamboo firming fluid, marine flower peptide eye cream, monoi age corrective night cream for face and neck, and firm skin acai moisturizer. Good luck!

[@MarinaTheBeautyBFF]

Hi Kristen, would you recommend doing a business amazon account vs a regular prime amazon account?

[@KatieLee235]

I used eminence at my spa too!! We had a rep that would come out a few times a year. Ongoing education there was not much. The shipping was always so expensive too. But i agree the Stone Crop line alone is reason enough to spend the $5K. I think about it someday if i expand my practice into something larger - it really is the perfect facial line for spas... I chose Glymed and Esthemax for my solo suite though ;)

[@kristenmarieco]

Yess! do it! Expand!

[@Myza-Maya]

@kristenmarieco great video - what are your recommendations on some other organic non toxic products that are more reasonably priced for the every day consumer 😊

Does the eminence chamomile cleanser come with an adhesive seal that has to be peeled off? I purchased from a retailer that packages it strangely and it seemed used and there was NOT. A seal

[@blessedbutterfly1111]

You using the whole dropperful may account for why it was running all over the place 😂😉 some oils warm up on your skin and may not seem like enough at first but then warms and liquefys. You can keep them in the fridge to prolong their life and their products are so concentrated that it's perfectly fine to emulsify to stretch them and better the spreadability

[@OMGDILLIGAFbeeetch]

Hello, I love your videos I would love to see a review on circadia if possible thanks

One more question...do u know of any brands that's are free of essential oils and fragrance components?

[@kristenmarieco]

I would say eminence falls under those categories, I know image uses essential oils but I'll have to see if skin script does have essential oils and glymed does have lavender in some of their products. I will try to keep my eyes pealed for other products that don't carry essential oils and fragrances, but just off the top of my head those are the ones I know.

[@AricaMichelle]

@@kristenmarieco Thanks a bunch! I have several clients (including myself) of higher Fitzpatricks that react to fragrance on the face so that's why I'm lookin for back bar sizes products to use. It's expensive as hell to continually buy individual size products to use in the treatment room.

"gross!" 😂exactly what I thought when I found out all the toxic ingredients in skincare, that we are not being told about. Thank you for speaking on this. Eminence was one of the first lines I worked with in Esthetician school. They were one of the lines I considered when I was opening my small spa business too. I was also considering Rhonda Allison. I happened to fall upon Blissoma Botanical Skincare, made for compromised skintypes. I was blown away. I end up choosing them for my main skincare line I carry. Check them out if you are considering adding a organic line to your services.
