Comfort Look

When I was in High School & College- I absolutely loved experimenting with makeup. Different colors, different products, different techniques.  As I've gotten older ( Mid-20's...really??)- and kind of gotten into a groove schedule-wise, I kind of know what I do like, what I don't like & what I have time for.  (Not to say that I'm not still trying new things!)

On Thursdays, it's my "two job day."  So I work from about 8am to 8pm.  About an hour before I have to head to my second job, I prep my face so I don't look like I've just worked an 8 hour day with a toddler. :)

I use three primary products and do my hair in a quick top knot (if I didn't choose to spend an hour straightening my hair the night before, blah!).

So, I thought I'd share with you a quick, super easy way to look fresh without going through a ridiculous amount of steps & products.

1. I apply Line Stiletto Eyeliner

2. Enough mascara to create the look that I'm going for- I really like Lancome & Clinique Mascaras

3. I use Revlon Spa Illuminator to give myself a dewy glow. I apply it the apples of my cheeks, bridge of my nose, on my forhead slightly above both brows, a dab on my chin.  

* For a really fun trick, dab a little illuminator at the top of your lips- makes them look fuller. :)

YES, to Tomatoes...and Kitties

Anyone else try the "Yes to..." products?
I've found that the tomato products are my favorite so far.  The face mask especially minimizes my pores and smooths my skin- plus, it smells so good!


 Good morning!  (It's true...I don't wake up looking like I didn't sleep...ha!)

Even Moneypenny thinks it smells wonderous :)

I'm not the type of makeup fanatic who purposely researches new products that are coming out and what's "in"- Basically, I go to the store, find makeup that looks amazing, buy it & try it.  On ocassion I'll see something reviewed in a magazine and try it. (I especially love anything fruit and veggie for some reason. It makes me think "pure", "fresh", "soft".)

I found these new Maybelline items and immediately snatched them up.  So far, the "airfoam" foundation is heavenly.  To me, foundation should be all about looking natural. It shouldn't be a 10 layer cake.
This foundation literally feels like...air.  I put it on and didn't feel a thing.  Try it out!
The "Bouncy" blush has also been awesome- but I can't say it's better than anything else I've tried.

In closing, I will allow you to dote over my precious fur babies. :)


     007 hates photo shoots. Obviously.  But he is the biggest mush of a cat you'll ever encounter.

Monepenny is the opposite. She is a fantastic model and only cuddles when she needs it.

Until next time, go rub some tomatoes on your face! :)
