Sheer Organic Shimmer

     When I went shopping at Whole Foods this last weekend, something new caught my eye. In their beauty aisle, there were little lip shimmers for only 4 dollars. I figured I would give this new brand a try. After testing a couple colors, I added a Ruby Kiss My Face Sheer Organic Shimmer stick to my grocery cart.

     When I first tried it, I was instantly pleased. It gives you lips a glossy look, without a sticky feel. It feels like lipstick that looks like shimmery chapstick...I think that's the best way to describe it. Not only does it apply smooth and stay soft on your lips, it has a minty feeling! I love glosses with minty sensations so this is definitely a favorite. Also since I purchased the Ruby one, it has a slightly warm color that still looks natural on my lips.

New favorite lip product!

Kiss My Face! ;)

Fendi likes the minty smell too!

And the taste, haha!

Full makeup look of the day.

This shimmer stick is yummy and light! Give it a try =)

Believe in bareMinerals

This product creates a phenomenally clear face. 

During my most pimply, icky time of the month,
it can still work its magic. 

I chose to blog the most honest, worst pictures possible
so that you can see that even though my skin was bad,
it looks good after I applied my bareMinerals foundation. 

During the time of the month when my skin is not nearly this bad, 

bareMinerals gives me a flawless finish.
No, these aren't flawless pictures 

(because I took them when my skin was at its worst),
but this is as good as you are gonna get! 

I can guarantee that no other makeup would better correct my blemishes 

without looking completely caked on and fake. 

bareMinerals is simply the best.

Without further ado, the good, bad, and the ugly...starting with the ugly, haha!

Red, obvious zits near the hair line. Ew.

Ugly blackheads that refuse to ever go away!

Redness GONE with bareMinerals=

WOW. smooth nose with foundation.

Nearly perfect.

Full makeup look of the day. 

I am a bareMinerals believer. 

Not all mineral makeup was created equal. 

Don't stay in denial. 

Drop some cash on the bareMinerals starter kit and you will never go back!

I hope that if you were on the fence about buying bareMinerals, 

this post showed you how real the magic is.

THICK Liner

So this is thick for me, may not be for some girls,
but it's enough for me during the daytime. 

I amped it up for my boyfriend's birthday party that night though. 

Natural hair - no heat except the blow-drier! 

Defined, winged liner

Ready for a beautiful Wednesday

It was a fun day and a fun celebration that night.

I am so excited; William turned twenty-one!

PS: I dunno if you can tell the difference from my makeup posts from about two weeks ago and the last  few posts, but isn't it much more natural and dewy looking? I love this lighter look. So I won't lie, I was trying out another foundation other than bareMinerals...BAD IDEA. Not all mineral makeups are created equally! Jesus loves everyone, but I am pretty sure he is picky too when it comes to quality makeup, just kidding! But for real, just don't even bother with anything other than bareEssentials, because you will be wasting your money and time.

Crimson Crazy

I am loving this new, red look. 

It's easy to do with bareMinerals products. 

Here's how I do it:

Start with this warm, red color, Shantung, 

over the whole lid, but not above the crease 

(however, you can build this up into the crease). 

Place Night Owl in the deepest part of the crease,

focusing darkening the outer corner.

Swirl a touch of Sweet Smile in the crease,

blending slightly angled outward.

Highlight with Garland under the brow bone 

and in the inner corner.

Don't forget to blend this light color everywhere 

without mellowing the warm red hue 

(Just blend where the colors meet).

I did this look two days in a row.

But look at the difference.

Day one is a light look, Day two was actually a night look.

Clean Brushes are Happy Brushes

Clean brushes are happy brushes, 

and happy brushes paint happy faces,

and happy faces are prettier,

and prettier faces have fewer pimples,

because happy brushes have

 less oil and bacteria.

Whoa, that was a mouthful, haha!

To clean your brushes, 

start with a brush bubble bath! 

Use a dime-sized amount of brush shampoo

and gently massage the bristles 

under a light-flowing faucet of warm water.

Make sure the brush is angled in the direction 

of the running water.

After cleaning the brush head, 

gently squeeze the excess water out of the brush 

while angling and reshaping it.

Then leave them out to air-dry on a towel.

Wait to apply makeup when they are completely dry.

This is what they should look like 

after you reshape them and leave them out overnight:

You should repeat this process once a week.

You can also reduce oils and bacteria from 

interacting with your skin by 

cleaning your cell phone daily,

not touching your face, and

not playing with your hair.

Hope my tips helped!
