The Rarest of Minerals.

January 08, 2007/

Yes, we have all heard of Bare Escentuals and their bareMinerals line by now, right? And we all know about how the minerals in makeup are only a good thing - and quite beneficial.

Well, I have been experiencing the ultimate in minerals with a rare combination of minerals from Bare Escentuals and their RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment .

This is quite different than what you might expect. It is almost like a makeup, as in the way you apply it and for the fact that it does come in shades,that you use right before bed. I buff on these miracle minerals (I am using the clear formula) right as I get into bed. They buff on simply with the sponge that comes attached to the jar, which is great. It is even easy to detach and wash too.

Onto my results. When I first applied it, I did it in front of the mirror. Immediately, I would notice a more air brushed, matte finish to my skin. This in itself is a reason for loving it because my skin didn't look so scary as a freshly cleansed, makeup free face sort of does.

My Best of 2006.

December 29, 2006/

I have discovered so many great new beauty products this year - some new, some tried and true, but new to me - that I am having such a difficult time narrowing down my "Favorite Things" list for the year.

One thing that I can easily add to the list is you, my faithful and loyal readers. Without you, there would be no beauty blog - and I would have no other way to show and express my joys of beauty searching. So to you all, I thank you for your continued support.

Onto the list. Here I present My Favorite Things 2006.

Smashbox Photofinish Primer - I don't know what took me so long, but I cannot live without this now.
Tarte Cosmetic's Lights. Camera, Lashes! Mascara - I think this is my hg mascara find.
Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit - a great kit to get started with BareMinerals, and I am happy to have finally become a BEliever.
Benefit Cosmetics Weather Girl Palette - I take this out to use at least twice a week - lovin' it!
Lancome Flash Retouche Concealer - I use this daily to cover and brighten my under eye area.
BourJois Lip Gloss Cell Phone Charm - the cutest and best accessory ever!
Clinique Brush On Cream Eye liner - so easy to use and blend - and stay on all day!
MAC's Holiday Velvet Smoked Eye Shadow Palette - the perfect combination of shadows I use almost daily.

Cle de Peau La Creme - the most luxurious moisturizing cream e-v-e-r!
DuWop Revolotion Face - a tinted moisturizer that lightens, brightens, and covers.
ModelCo Tan Airbrush in a Can - the best body self-tanner I have ever tried.

Essie Nail Polishes - too many to name, but they continue to work the best for me.
Estee Lauder High Gloss Lip Gloss - a lip gloss fave that I have multiples of.
Tom Ford - the fragrance, the man, and the collections - can't wait to see what will come from him next year.
Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Shampoo & Conditioner - my hair never looked or behaved better when using these.
Bond No. 9 Fragrances - I was reintroduced to fragrance this year thanks to Bond and their wonderful scents.

Bare Escentuals.

November 21, 2006/

Oh. My. Gosh.

Why have I not tried the BareMinerals foundations from Bare Escentuals before? Why?

I wore it for the first time today and am getting compliments galore.

"You are glowing!" "What did you do different? You look spectacular!" - this comment was from my MOM!

I don't have time to get into all the juicy details right now, but I just had to let you know that I am using the Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit in Medium/Medium Beige. I have seen the infomercial and Leslie (the creator) on QVC enough that I already felt like a pro when I opened the kit.

I swirled, tapped and buffed my face to perfection!

I'll give you all the dirt after the Thanksgiving break!
