A Make-Up Post and a Discount!!!

Last week I told you about my Secret Weapon and this week it's on to the glue that holds it together...my foundation.

Up until I turned about 21ish I had flawless skin. I only used Noxzema to remove my make up and didn't even think about lotion or toner. Then for some reason my skin, particularly my forehead became extremely oily. Because of this I started to get those nasty under the skin white things and it looked awful. The make up I had been wearing was Mac and up until that point I loved it. But by the end of the day I could literally take my finger and with one swipe remove all the make up on my forehead...GREASY! I had to find something else. That's when I found Bare Minerals. I.LOVE.IT! I bought the foundation and the kabuki brush. The brush is a necessity in applying the foundation. You don't need a lot of product and it covers beautifully. I never have to re-apply and I never look oily. This stuff is awesome!!!

Secret Weapon: A Make-Up Post

A lot of you have been emailing or commenting on what make-up I use. So I thought I would start off telling you about my Secret Weapon! You see, I have horrible under eye circles. Not only are they dark but are kinda puffy too. I've had 'em since I was a little kid so I have searched high and low for the best concealer and I have finally found it.

Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer in Ivory

The texture is very solid. It is a true stick concealer. It isn't smooth or silky. Which is just how I like my concealer. When concealer is too smooth it tends to run and settle into wrinkles. I HATE that! This stuff stays put. It also covers incredibly. I apply it with my ring finger underneath my eye and on my eyelid for complete coverage.

Now, it is pretty pricey. It is $70 but trust me it is worth every penny. Good thing is, it lasts for a really long time. Like 10 months! Before I was replacing my concealer every 3 months so I figure after 10 months of replacing I would have definitely spent $70 on concealer. So for me, it makes sense.

So if you are in the market for a new concealer, you have to try this. It works great! If you already use it then you know what I am talking about. Let me know how it goes.

Have a great day ya'll!
