Bare Minerals

I went shopping last night for some new makeup products - which tickles my heart, by the way! I love having new products to play with. So, even though it's annoying when my current products are almost gone and it makes me feel like I'm putting ghetto nastiness on my face in the morning, I can't help but be a little happy inside because I kow that I get to go play in the makeup store (usually Ulta or the Macy's makeup department) and come away with new products to make me feel pretty again and not so ghetto! LOL! ;) 

Among the top of the list of my favorite products is Bare Minerals. I love how natural the products are and at the same time what great staying power they have. I really think I have yet to find another brand of eyeshadows that are both pretty and last through the end of the day. What's even better is that they currently have some new products and colors out for your shopping pleasure!

This is what I left the store with last night:

Hint Cheek Color

Nude Beach Eyeshadow



Pebble Eyeshadow

Thick Or Thin? Loads vs. Just A Bit

Too much makeup is not a pretty thing. Makeup should enhance your natural, beautiful features, not make you look like you're ready to join the circus, be Marilyn Manson's side kick, or be workin' in a strip joint. For example, this is not so cute:

These looks, however, are subtle and add a bit of color to make already pretty faces stand out a bit more. The makeup on these ladies looks natural and probably takes a lot less time to apply than all those layers loaded on the ladies in the previous pictures. Take a look:

Lovin' Lipgloss

I do love me some good lipgloss! If you're looking for a good one, check out the one pictured here by Mark. Love it!!
