First attempt...on self.

I have spent nearly $200.00 on makeup so far and have so very little to show for it. I would love to know what your favorite products are and why. Particularly eyeliner, lip products of any kind, and brow liner.  Today I made up my WHOLE face so I could test out my new foundation palette by Graftobian and the face primer by Too-faced. I loved them both. My foundation stayed on and in place all day. I got a little crease line between my eyebrows after returning from a 2 hour visit at the park but I slid my finger over it and it smoothed right back into place. The Mary Kay eye primer and eye-shadows actually worked GREAT as well. Not loving the MK eyeliner or cheek colors though.

Mary Kay: eye primer, eyeshadows, eyeliner, mascara, blush, bronzer, concealer and highlighting pen. elf: HD powder and lip gloss. Graftobian: foundation.

  By the way, this picture is not the $200 worth of product that I've spent my money on.  It's just what I used today. To take the kids to the park. Since that's all I had going on today. Lately I've just been using mineral powder, one or two eye-shadows, blush, and mascara. MAYBE eyeliner if I feel like I have time. Because really, when you are at home all day with three wonderful little kids 5 years old and under, impressing the sales guy with a bottle of magic cleaning spray is not my M.O.  Although it's nice to have at least SOME makeup on so your son's kindergartener friend doesn't see you through the car window upon drop off and ask if their mom is sick. I had no makeup on that day. and allergies!

Wow, back to topic here. I took some pictures of myself. Please don't laugh too hard. Haven't had a chance to try the new foundation palette on anyone else yet.

 I think I may be flaring my nostrils in concentration. Not sure what I was pretending to look at.

 receding hairline much? I mean, here's the eyeshadow kind of.

No I do NOT want to buy spray cleaner to clean rust and everything else, OR a vacuum, OR lawn treatments! Actually ya, I want that. Do I look ticked off to you here?



Oh and this? I was trying to half close my eyes but still get a front shot without flash in the mirror. Totally didn't work. Whatevs.



Alright, So this was a fun experimental day to test out a few things I had never used before. If you are still reading at this point, PLEASE suggest your favorite products so I can experiment some more. Hopefully on others next time.

Stay beautiful!

just kidding. I kind of hate it when people end like that. I always tell them to shut up. Not to their face of course. That would be rude.
