Ahhh! Make-up!!

I have been in a crisis situation the last few days with NO face make-up!  I ran out of just the mineral face powder and the ever necessary moisturizer-I have been in survival mode,just getting by. I had ordered some,but it hadn't come in until- TODAY! Yippee!! I felt like doing a little happy dance at my mailbox! Sheer happiness (Hubs was happy too!) About a year ago I switched to mineral makeup and I love it! As some of you might know,it can be a litte pricey. I found a mineral make-up company that sells the loose mineral powder and a wonderful selection of other mineral make-up and moisturizers for 1/3 the price for 3 times as much product. My first introduction to the mineral make-up world was at a Mall kiosk. I don't want to mention the price. I still have quite a bit of the eyeshadow and all the brushes I bought then,so feel I did get a lot for my money, but I also knew that when it came time to order replacements, that I better find a cheaper source. Sooo, that I did. I went to my wonder source- eBay and won a trial kit and now, I just order from their website. www.mymineralglitters.com

Give it a try- you won't be disappointed.

Oh, make-up, sweet, sweet make-up-I was so glad to see you!!!( Let me explain- the little baggie is a lightener, not something else and the little jar is a sample of the light powder- I mix medium, light and the lightener to get a good color for me.)

I got my cute little Kaboodle at Salvation Army!! I was too cheap to buy a new one and low and behold, found the same exact one for $2.99!!

So, in celebration of the blessed event (new make-up in the mail), I cleaned out my Kaboodle and washed all my make-up brushes! It certainly takes a lot for all this beauty you know! HAPPY MAKE-UP DAY!!

Lipstick Update!!

Remember me telling of the awesome lipstick that stays on overnight? It is Revlon's Colorstay Overtime! Well- I may have looked a bit like Dracula in the morning, considering my lily white skin and no other make-up (I just got out of bed, give me a break!) or perhaps I looked like I was going "goth", but my friends, YES- it stayed on overnight. As I sit and write this- my lips are colored and I put the stuff on at 8:30am. Here is the deal- one end of the tube is the color- you paint that on (get in the lines, girls or it will look like the kindergarten version of yourself did your lips- All day- you don't want that) then the other end is a clear gloss. The gloss wears off, but this is the only thing you reapply, perhaps for 3 or 4 days? I don't know- I scrubbed it off the 2nd day I tried it to try another lighter color (it didn't seem to work as well, but that might be my fault- you have to let the stain part (colored end) dry before the gloss goes on). So this time, I will not scrub it or change it, just to see what happens. I also thought it might be a little dark for me- as I have been just wearing light gloss, but I took a vote at work and I guess it works for me. I like it a lot and it doesn't come off on your cigarettes (I don't know that by personal experience, but was told) and it doesn't come off on your coffee cup which I know to be fact and is a really nice feature! I would take a picture, but I am sitting here in my jammies and it isn't a pretty sight- well, except for maybe my lips!!!







Love,
