While I'm on the topic of makeup, I'm going to share my other current favorites. I use these every day, no fail. First up, Burt's Bees pomegranite lip balm. I am a HUGE Burt's Bees original lip balm fan...no, make that "addict"...so I tried this one. It doesn't tingle like the original does, but it has a teensy bit of pink color to it. Since Quinn's been born I don't wear lipstick like I used to, for his sake- otherwise he'd be covered in lipstick kisses all day. So this product gives me just enough color so I don't look like the un-dead, and it doesn't rub off on Q's face.
Now, having said that...when I DO wear lipstick, I wear this:
I own it in 6 shades, and I'm sure I'll get more. (Every now and then CVS sells them 2 for 1!) It's a gloss, but it stays on all day without being sticky, and it comes in colors and sheers. I have some of each, but my favorite is the "sheer nude".
My newest find, for all you Bare Minerals lovers out there.......EVERYDAY MINERALS! It's Bare Minerals on a budget. :) I've tried every mineral makeup there is out there, and this is the closest to BM; possibly even better, because it is gentler on the skin.
What I really love about it though, is if you go to the website, www.everydayminerals.com , for the price of shipping ($5.00, I believe) you can customize a free sample kit for yourself, in which you get 3 foundation colors, a blush, and a concealer. It's one sample kit per order, but there's no limit to how many times you can order samples, and no purchase required.
Try it. You will love it.
I have the foundation, a couple blushes, some concealers (multitasking is my favorite) and some eyeshadows. The only thing I don't love is the eyeliner....unlike Bare Minerals, this doesn't translate well to wet-use as an eyeliner. But the shadows are terrific - my current top pick is "pressed olive".

Thanks for the Minerals makeup tip. I LOVE bare escentuals but it can be out of my price range at times. I ordered a sample kit and an eyeshadow ! Can't wait to try it. :)
Wow. It's like watching Oprah. Some day will you pass out all of your favorites? Let me know when!
Like Oprah, I can't let you know when. If you are lucky enough to read that day, you win! :)
so I am a bobbie brown girl myself, but i am defintely going to try your faux bare minerals... have you tried the loreal lipstick that beyonce promotes...theone with the lipstick and the gloss all in a mirrored case? it's kiss proof and stays on all day. I know...my girls have lipstick kisses on them daily if i am wearing anything else!
so what kind of mom are you? it's a toss up for me of glam and rockstar.
I'm definitely going to try the every day minerals. You got me hooked on Bare Minerals and I love it. I am a lip gloss junkie, so I may have to try that lipgloss, too. Hmmmm...I think we need a cousin's day out to Sephora!! :)
I definitely think you are right about a day at Sephora, Amy.
And Brenda: I went back through the catalog and I also am either a glam or rockstar mom, depends on the day...but I think if I have to pick just one, probably 'glam'.
I just took your recommendation and bought one of the revlon lip glosses today. Haven't tried it, but hopefully it's as good as you say!
which one did you get??
Well, I wish I could tell you which one I got, but it's gone! I went to pull it out of my purse today, forgetting it was in there, and can't find it anywhere.
