A Basic Face

Hello Beauties!!! Thank you to those who replied to my last posting for skin care. It was great to hear what you use for concealer and skin care. I'm gonna try Philosophy cuz I've heard from a lot of people that it works well for skin care. I wanted to ask you, what is your basic face? You know, those days when you just need to get ready quickly but need to look decent for the day. In the summer I can get away with no foundation (cuz the sun has given me a slight tan), a little faux tan to bring out cheek bones, little blush and some mascara and that's it. Now for winter, it takes a little more effort cuz I'm really washed out. lol!! So here is my basic winter look: -Bare Minerals Original Mineral Foundation (all over) -Bare Minerals Faux Tan (all over and a little darker on the cheek bone) -A blush, right now I'm into Bare Minerals "Golden Gate" blush for winter -Bare Minerals Mineral Veil (all over face to blend it all) -Eye Brows (I must have a side note here, a lot of people don't do eyebrows or if they do they over do it. If you don't, you should. I cant tell how much it truly helps your face. It gives your face extra definition that you didn't know you needed. I never thought about eyebrows til one day I decided to try it, omg, I will never go back, trust me. If you over do it, STOP IT!) -Bare Minerals "Glow" Eyeshadow (all over lid) -Bare Minerals "Sable" Eyeliner (upper and lower lid) -Buxom Mascara BAM!! There is my basic face for everyday. I don't look over done and I don't look like I just woke up. LOL! Please share with me what you use for your basic face. Love to hear about all the different types of make-ups. Have a lovely week Beauties!! -Lady O

LIP GLOSS CRAZY!!!!

Hi there Beauties!! So I wanted to do a little piece on lip gloss. Lip gloss, oh lip gloss, how I do love thee. No seriously, lip gloss is the best. If you don't have time or just don't want to do a whole face then just put on your lip gloss. It will brighten your face up with out having to do the whole schbang. Now my favorite is Buxom. I love me some Buxom. Any color will do. Now when I started loving Buxom they only had the kind with a tingle. Now you have the option to have the tingle, they have both. I personally am addicted to the tingle. Makes me feel like "YES, I'm wearing lip gloss, look how lovely my lips look." (Yes, I'm a dork, LOL) Also, they have human people names so its extremely easy to remember which is your fave. Some of my faves are, Emma, Lauren, Sandy (LOVE for summer), and right now I'm so loving Sophia. For Christmas I received an awesome gift, a roulette wheel of Buxoms. I saw them at Sephora and truly wanted it, and YAY, I got it for Christmas, Santa must have known. The day they stop the Buxom production will be a sad day in my little world. Just sayin... I have of course tried other lip glosses, such as: Bobbi Brown--love that brand Tarte--super light weight and easy Mally--love the shine Philosophy--so moisturizing And those are just some. Anywho, I highly recommend that if you don't want to do a whole face or if you just don't have time to do a whole face but want to look like you somewhat tried (that can be me most days) just reach for your lip gloss. If you have a favorite lip gloss that you want to recommend please do so. I would love to know what you all wear. Have a "BEAUTIFUL" day my lovelies. ~Lady O
