I have a friend who sells Avon but I am not patient waiting for the order to come in when I want to try something new. Jofra, Mary Kay and a few others fall into the same category. <br /><br />I am currently using Philosophy's "The Supernatural" mineral foundation, but I'm not sold on it. Liquid foundations, no matter how little I use or blend with moisturizer, always look too noticeable on me, at least to my eyes. They make me look better in photos but not face to face.<br /><br />I really miss Revlon's Vital Radiance primer. It was sheer but had just enough color to make make me look better. I liked a lot of their products but the line was discontinued. <br /><br />My favorite mascara is Buxom by Bare Escentuals. I sometimes follow that with a coat of Maybelline's Volum' Express. <br /><br />I am driven by color rather than brand when it comes to blush and lipstick and don't often wear eyeshadow anymore. I do love to play with makeup though and will probably link to this post soon and write about cosmetics on my blog. Traveling recently and putting stuff into bags to go got me to thinking about what I was using, what needs replacing and just what isn't working.<br /><br />Thanks for the makeup remover suggestion. I bought a generic drugstore brand for the last trip and it was money wasted.Knittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194307677813885580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-75467550121757175542012-03-04T09:32:34.956-06:002012-03-04T09:32:34.956-06:00What a fun post & even more fun to read all th...What a fun post & even more fun to read all the wonderful sharing going on!<br /><br />I have TONS of different make-up & love wearing different shades of polish & lip color, depending on the season or outfit. I'm high maintenance, in that I NEVER leave the house without make-up...not even to go play tennis!! LOL<br /><br />I'm a firm believer that if you LOOK good, you FEEL good. <br /><br />I'm pale, like you, with blue eyes so I mostly stick to charcoals & smokey browns on my eyelids for daytime & a wild splash of blue in the corners of my eyelids for a night out on the town.<br /><br />I adore RED lipstick!<br /><br />DAILY sunscreen is also a must. When I lived in FL, I wore Banana Boat for Baby's with an SPF of 50...they don't even make it that high anymore, but I don't have any wrinkles from those years in the sun, playing golf & tennis & water aerobics. Wish I would have remembered to use it on the backs of my hands, though. <br /><br />This was a really fun post, Jane & I am going back over the comments to take notes on some items I'd like to try.<br />Thanks for getting everyone to share.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Rett<br /><br />p.s.

I've used Bare Minerals for about 10 years now but just recently discovered Halo from Smashbox. I really love it! I use various other products from Sephora and drugstore. I use olive oil to take my eye makeup off because I don't like the chemicals other products have.<br />I could really go on and on. Really great post!<br />JenniferxxJen Beaudet https://www.blogger.com/profile/13316569869048301111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-13690065902052679262012-03-01T20:24:46.832-06:002012-03-01T20:24:46.832-06:00Wow, great info on this post Jane!

I recently tried Clinique Moisture Surge and that is WONDERFUL. I use Clinique foundation and Physicians Formula powder, drugstore blush and eyeshadow (usually in browns or grays), a little liquid liner on the top lid (still looking for a really good one) and Clinique mascara. I almost never wear anything on my lips, though on occasion pink lipgloss. Recently I discovered that there are some really helpful makeup tutorials on You Tube!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337527908766930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-25598195213473128612012-02-29T22:23:23.312-06:002012-02-29T22:23:23.312-06:00Hey...me again! :-)

I drink a ton and yes, I do have to get up at night. I think eating a lot of fresh fruit and veggies is important too.<br /><br />I also forgot to say that I love MAC products as well as Bobbi Brown. Just don't pay those prices anymore. <br /><br />Nail polish? I'm addicted! I normally always wear red on my toes but last pedicure I tried a gorgeous turquoise and I love it! Depending on my nails and if they are growing or not determines the shade of polish. I love red! <br /><br />Also forgot about fragrances. My body is weird and they change on me so I have to be careful. My favorites for spring/summer are Cabotine & Cerrutti 1881. Both have the bath gels and lotions so it's wonderful to layer them. My fall/winter is "Hot" Couture by Givenchy. The best! ;-)<br /><br />Bye for now...<br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-18192334652190764192012-02-29T22:07:26.536-06:002012-02-29T22:07:26.536-06:00This is fun! I haven't read all of the respon...This is fun! I haven't read all of the responses yet although I will. We always learn from others don't we? :-)<br /><br />You know, when I was working, I spent a lot of $$$ on make-up...like Estee, Chanel, Lancome, you name it. So many of these manufacturers/suppliers also make the brands we find in the drugstores...Lancome makes L'Oreal for instance. I love L'Oreal eyeshadows and I LOVE playing with them! I am terrible about buying the "new" shades, although they are definitely for my age group now...no sparkles or blues. :-) I guess I should correct this as I do have one sparkly shade that I use as a tiny accent when going out at night.<br /><br />I normally wear foundation by Revlon or Maybelline. They have formulas that are moisturizing for the 'more mature' skin. My skin is dry and sensitive so I have to be cautious about a lot of products. I love Bare Escentuals but powders are not the best for me.<br /><br />Blush is a must as is eyeliner! My eyes really don't pop unless I have eyeliner. I use a dark charcoal or black and smudge so there's no harsh lines. <br /><br />I have about 4-5 eyelashes so mascara really makes a difference for me. :-) I find that Maybelline's Great Lash is super!<br />I'm a nutcase about lipsticks too. LOVE trying different shades. I prefer L'Oreal over all the rest and a great lip gloss...Revlon also has a great gloss that is not "sticky". Can't stand those!<br /><br />I'm loving the Boots 7 products too. I use Pond's or the Equate brand of cleansing towelettes. <br /><br />I don't feel "good" about me if I don't have makeup on. I have dashed to the store or pharmacy with none on or very little and I feel embarrassed that I'm showing up like that, even for strangers. I think we only have one chance for a first impression. When I was married or in a relationship, I always felt it was important to be well groomed and have respect for "me". And...guys are normally around females all day that are well groomed & dressed up.<br /><br />One thing I always, always do for 'ME' is to wear perfume daily. I may not have much makeup on but I'm smelling good! :-)<br /><br />Fun post, Jane...I hope I haven't bored you. All this is fun and I get carried away.<br /><br />xoxo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-54572184697265277022012-02-29T20:24:25.146-06:002012-02-29T20:24:25.146-06:00Girl, I have read everyone of these comments cos&#...Girl, I have read everyone of these comments cos' I LOVE makeup! I think I look so horrid without it I hate to subject other people to me without it! lol I use drug store brands for the most part...some Mary Kay. Smoky browns on my blue eyes, brown liner, black mascara. I love the Mabelline mascara with the primer on one end and the mascara on the other. Waterproof. Blush in rose tones.

Even though I was a teenager in the 90's, I do remember loving Wet N' Wild & Bonne Bell in the 80's when I was in Jr. High! lol These days, I'm very LOW maintenance! I mean I love make-up and the idea of it...just not that great at applying it. I just put enough so I don't look "dead' throughout the day! :) Sephora is a fun place for me to get make-up whenever I'm in need of some - that place is like a candy store for make-up addicts! lol Anyway, cute post!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JessieA Cozy Cottage in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682860006721913633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-54512012349079012282012-02-27T19:29:40.937-06:002012-02-27T19:29:40.937-06:00Love this post! :) It's fun to change it up ...Love this post! :) It's fun to change it up again once in a while. <br />I am a 'less is more' kind of girl. My daily routine includes: a little Maybelline loose mineral powder foundation, just to even out my skin tone a bit; eyeliner; mascara. That pretty much covers it, with the exception of my lip routine...if you could really call it that. I am addicted to good lip balms. They can have a little sheer color or they can be completely colorless. I don't care as long as they make my lips feel soft and smooth. I use Bert's Bees most of the time, but I also love EOS (my daughter is hooked on it!) and some of the glosses you can get from Bath and Body Works. <br /><br />If I'm going out or just feel like going that extra mile, I add some eye shadow. I had an Estee Lauder duo that I loved, but it was a gift and I would NEVER spend that much on make up. Right now I have a quad that I received in a 'thank you' gift box from a women's magazine for which I had answered some surveys. Don't even remember what kind it is, but I like it! LOL!
