My Favorite Beauty Tip

I remember watching TV and seeing women put “lotion” on their faces and thinking they were crazy.  I tried using lotion on my face and it was so heavy!  Even after I found out they were using moisturizer, I refused to use it because my face is so greasy, I felt like adding more to face would be detrimental.

I finally tried it about 10 years ago when my Mom started selling Mary Kay.  I could not believe how good it felt. I can’t imagine not using it now.  When I get out of the shower, my face is so dry.  One of the first things I do is put my moisturizer on and it literally feels like a drink for my skin.  It feels so amazing!

Makeup

Could you go a week without wearing any makeup at all?  A whole week…even to church?

I remember Oprah did a show on this.  She used several women who were obsessed with their makeup. 

One woman was near the end of her pregnancy, and would wash her face every night, and then redo her makeup right away so that if she were to go into labor at night, she would have it done to go to the hospital.
It’s amazing though, how celebrities look like real people when you see them without their makeup on.  In fact, some of them look downright homely. 

I was raised that I should always try to look my best.  And to me, that means makeup.  I don’t like how I look without it.  That could be because I have been wearing it since I was 12.  I don’t feel that I wear an obsessive amount.  In fact, I hate liquid foundation.  It’s just too heavy.  I use a mineral foundation, and I love how it covers, but it is still light.  I also use blush, eye liner, mascara, and lipstick. 

So, do you think you could go a whole week without it?

I don’t know if I could.

For all the little girls

I am in love with this idea!

Faux Makeup

Like the post says, all the "play makeup" out there is real makeup. This is a perfect idea! I can't wait to make it!

Makeup

So I was getting ready to put on my makeup and I wondered how long it took me.

So I timed it.

3 1/2 minutes. From naked face to finish.

Foundation (mineral powder), eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, gloss, eyeshadow, and blush.

I like to look nice, but I'm not going to take forever doing it.

K.I.S.S.!
