girly girls

new hobby = makeup!

my daughter is like me sometimes. 

doesn't want to comb her hair or dress up sometimes.  will wear the same clothes the whole weekend.  

but when she wants to wear a little bit of makeup ...she does it with gusto.

 february is when i got into the makeup thing... went to the MAC counter and said "make me look good!"  it's very interesting ...how very therapeutic it was to get dolled up.  blah blah blah...yes- beauty is on the inside.. but it sure felt good when my outside looked good when i felt like crap inside.  i really don't care if people think i'm pretty or not.  i'm usually pretty confident of who i am.  but when i'm feeling like crap, it's nice to put the war paint on ...and wow, i felt so powerful with just a bit of war paint on. 

am i teaching my daughter to be superficial? i hope not.

maybe the first day, i felt like i was hiding behind the makeup. now, i feel like i am enhanced to a more beautiful me. 

my daughter? who knows if she will be a girly girl or a tomboy.  for now, she wears my bath & body body spray and likes glitter nail polish. 

i hope she finds her beauty inside and out.

makeup i hate right now: 

*my liquid foundation - it's matched for my skin which i like...but i want to switch after trying the Bare Escentuals powder foundation.  other than the spf 15...not sure if there is any 'good for your skin'stuff in the my liquid foundation. 

* my waterproof mascara that all the magazines rave about.  i hate the brush and i hate how clumpy my lashes feel with it. gonna throw it out right now.

makeup i want but don't have yet:

*facial cleanser. i'm using joe's clearasil daily wash but wanna try something new. might do aveeno, garnier, or bare escentuals.

*bare escentuals light to medium foundation kit.  i really like how it feels and looks on my skin.  why didn't i buy you????  this would be a good mother's day gift  or a gift certificate would be great to this store  (that's a hint hint...i hope my mahal reads this and catches this hint)

*bare escentuals black eyeliner - i loved how it glided so smoothly in the store...why didn't i buy you???

*eyelash falsies - why not?

makeup in the arsenal that i love right now:

*travel body sprays from victoria secret and bathy & body works:  i'm too cheap to buy 1 bottle of perfume for $50-75.00 ..but i will buy several different travel size body mists equaling $50-75.00.  interesting.  i like to switch it up. 

*nail polish less than two bucks. i like to switch it up but i don't go to the nail salon often. 

*victoria secret lip gloss

*neutrogena blush/bronzer in rosy glow

*my cheap eyelash curler

*revlon lash fantasy total definition - so fascinating how a mascara wand can make a difference in coating your lashes. 

*eyemakeup remover from sephora- i get racoon eyes after putting so much eyeshadow/eyeliner...this stuff is coolio. 

*under eye concealer from MAC - crap, i didn't realize my under eye circles were getting darker.  thank you whoever invented this stuff.
