Shake Things Up

Hello to all!

I hope where ever you are you are warm and snow free.  Because all of us Northerners [ok maybe just me] at this point in the winter months are tired of digging our cars out of the snow.  Winter around here can't seem to make up its mind.  A week ago we had inches of snow on the ground, and yesterday it was 60 degrees with the most unbelievable wind. Anyway, I'm rambling.

I firmly believe that it is a good idea to shake up your makeup routine from time to time.  Now in previous years, I was set in my ways.  Bare Minerals make up all the way, all the time.  But as of late, I have branched out to try many new products.   Your skin is different all the time and the same product may not always produce the same results.  I still reach for my CoverGirl 3 in 1 foundation most days but lately with the weather constantly drying out my skin I've been reaching for 2 products. 

1. Bare Minerals has always been my old faithful.  The standby.  I can always wear that makeup and feel great about the way I look.  They recently came out with a BB Cream primer.  Which I found a little odd so of course I marched right over to heaven Ulta and picked it up.  And I have to say I am very pleased.  It has a light tint to it that really just evens out my skin tone which I love and I have to say any make up that I put over it does not budge all day.  I'm all about a good primer that will make your make up still look fresh by the end of a long day.  They're coming out with a liquid foundation which I can't believe but am so so so excited for.  I have been waiting and waiting for them to come out with a liquid.  So, of course, I've already pre ordered it and I will let you know how it is once I try it out.
2. Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation.  One of the best parts of this is it was only $4 at Walmart.  Talk about a steal.  I'd say it has medium coverage and has a very matte finish which I love.  I'm not a fan of the dewey look.  But it stays on very well and paired with the BB Cream primer is a match made in heaven.  I am definitely a fan. I also love it because they have so many shades to choose from.  I was able to find a cool shade in one of the lightest color [of course] that matched perfectly.  Finally, a foundation that is not yellowy!  A little concealer and bronzer and mascara (of course) and I am on my way!

As always, I am not a make up artist or anything in any way.  I'm just a girl who loves makeup, especially make up that comes from heaven Ulta. 

Until next time... xox
