And it hasn't changed much since that posting. Not even the kissy lips at my husband. Oil control is still an ongoing battle for me. I love Bare Minerals makeup even more now than I did when I first used it.
all i do is some black eyeliner on the top lashline, black mascara, and shimmery beige eyeshadow. and only when i feel like it. but it still feels really girly to me.
IF I feel like it...this includes my skincare stuff too.
Steam with essential oils
Aubrey Jojoba Scrub/Mask (or a clay mask)
Aveda Hydrating Mask
Aveda acne treatment
Aubrey Sea Buckthorn moisturizer
Aveda eye cream
Prescriptives custom-blended foundation
Clinique undereye concealer
rouge (will be switching to Ecco Bella soon) or cheek shimmer (Aveda)
Underwear for Lids (Origins)
eyeshadow (Ecco Bella and Lancome are my faves)
Underwear for Lashes (Origins)
mascara (Lancome is great)
(optional) eye liner (Bobbi Brown)
Prescriptives custom-blended powder
lip gloss or lip balm
And of course, fragrance :) and scented hand lotion!
not really a girly-girl, but still love makeup and clothes, go figure.
^^How long does that routine take you, Monkey? I used to use a combination of Clinique and Lancome "underwear" prodocuts, plus the custom-blended Prescriptives foundation (on the days I wasn't too lazy) and powder. But I increasingly have had less and less time, and the creams and liquids take me a long time to get them right, for some reason. That's why I have liked the mineral makeup so much. It's faster to apply and, on me, it looks better than creams or liquids. Probably it helps blot up some of my oil, too.
A friend gave me an Aveda gift certificate. I've never used any of their products. I may have to try some!
Oops I didnt know that thread existed, I should do some searching first. haha.Quote:

Moisturizer and black eyeliner. Sox hat. Good to go. :D
Birdgirl: it takes me a long time to do the skincare routine, so if I am in a hurry, I just wash with gentle cleanser and moisturize. But the makeup, even though it sounds like a lot, takes me 7 minutes. My husband timed me once.
The make-up is just okay, but I highly recommend the following:Quote:

3. TEA! It's licoricey and very sophisticated even though it's very simple, like four or five herbs. I think it's organically grown, too.
4. For the summer, Caribbean Therapy body mist, for when you're sitting by the pool. It cools you off and smells like tropical :)
