Paint me picky

If you aren't aware of this company, you owe me a cookie for telling you. And if you already do, don't snicker at me for being behind the times. E.L.F. (EyesLipsFace) is a cosmetics company that sells every single one of their make-up items for $1. Yes, one measley dollar.

Including the Plumping Lip Glaze - you know that stuff you put on your lips that tingles and makes me look all Angelina Jolie-ish and costs and arm and a leg? Heh, nope, $1 at E.L.F. See, now you're gorgeous AND smart!

Oh, and have you seen all the infomercials for Bare Minerals and wondered if it was all a bunch of hooey? My good friend Elizabeth has made me a believer - I saw her a few months ago right after she'd been in a road trip for hours and hadn't reapplied makeup the entire time, and she looked so healthy and radiant, I couldn't believe it! It was all Bare Minerals, said she, so I made her give me a demonstration of her regimine, and doggone it, it was fast and she looked amazing. So, I had to try it myself. They sell it many places now, but the best price right now that includes the best application brushes (you want 3 brushes, a kind of Buki Brush, the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, Flawless Application Face Brush) and the Glee shade is through Ulta. Plus, if you go to go to the store to buy it, you have the fancy make-up lady there apply it on you so you can be sure you are va-va-voom in it, and that you are getting the right color for my skin tone (that made me nervous about getting it over the web for my first time out).

Happy pretty-ing!
