i've been doing a lot of thinking lately.
too much thinking.
On a lighter note of thinking, as I was strolling around in Sephora with my Mom while I was in Portland, I got a little buzz. Definately the whole kid- in- a- candy- store type of thing. I don't wear very much make-up but the little girl deep down inside of me was doing kartwheels and making daisy chains necklaces.
I wandered and weaved between the many lands of different brands, I thought about how I am kind of prejiduce. I've formed my own opinions on what works and what doesn't. I preach to my Mom about the products you can get at a much cheaper price at the exct same quality. I tell her to get this eyelash curler instead of that one, it's only $3 more expensive, and it's MUCH better.
Anyway I'm here to share with the world, the things that I think are the bees knees.
These are the ingredients of which I use to mask my face when appropriate:
Bare Escentuals- Bare Minerals: First off, I am very lazy when it comes to doing my makeup- the fact that this product takes care of everything that concealer, foundation, annnd powder can do in one application had me in love at first use. I have never been a fan of liquid foundation, I always cringe when I have to wear it. This powder covers everything and it's super light. If you're an insomniac like myself, you've seen the commercials- and they aint lyin'. A little bit goes a long way. Mine usually lasts about 4 months.
Bare Escentuals- Brow Kit: As some may know, I am kind of obsessed with eyebrows. I like to keep mine very thick ( I don't think I've had them waxed in almost a year). This kit comes with a powder, brush, and gel. I don't use the gel, because I think it feels wrong to have soggy eyebrows- even if it is just briefly. Again; a little bit goes a long way. And Being that my eyebrows are actually fairly blonde, I am able to darken them and satisfy the eybrow envy I have of all of those with dark arches.
NARS- Blush: I personally use the color Orgasm. It's natural and kinda peachy. Just the way one should live their life.
Christian Dior- Diorshow Mascara: I've been a die hard fan for years, I've even converted my make-up artist of a sister-in-law to use it, and she hasn't looked back ever since! My eyelashes are nothing extraordinary, but I do often get comments on my lenghty lashes. This is probably the one essential item that I will religiously use until death.
I always top it of with my go -to lip balm...
Smiths- Rosebud lip salve: It prevents and heals chapped lips, it's clear and a tiny bit shiny. I used to be a fan of the strawberry kind until several people pointed out to me that it smelled like Red Bull, not strawberries. Buzz kill.
That's pretty much my daily routine.
If I'm feeling extra schnazzy, And need to get glossy, I turn to my...
NARS- Greek Holiday Lip Gloss: Natural, a light nude color, nice texture, no funny taste.. Just perfect.
And I wash it all off with Proactiv.
Aren't I just the walking infommercial?
