What I'm Using: Makeup

1. almay cc cream // 2. mary kay mineral powder // 3. mary kay mineral blush in sunny spice // 4. almay intense i-color bold nudes for blue eyes // 5. ecotools eye brush set // 6. maybelline eyestudio gel eyeliner // 7. cover girl flamed out mascara // 8. revlon nearly naked pressed powder 


What I use for makeup can change throughout the year - there aren't many products that I'm 'faithful' to. I like to experiment with different things, and sometimes I change products because my needs change. 

Normally I have an oily complexion, but with the change in weather my skin has been very dry. I've had to change my skin care routine, and pretty much stop using powder all together. Right now I'm using almay cc cream as a foundation which I really like, but when I'm able to use powder I LOVE mary kay mineral powder. I've tried so many different ones, and that's by far my favorite. I like to have pressed powder in my purse in case I need to 'powder my nose', and revlon nearly naked is perfect for the job. :) 

For my eyes, I'm really liking the trio for blue eyes by almay. Typically I do a smoky eye by using all three colors, but when I don't feel like doing that I'll use the two lightest shades. I don't like using the little applicator that comes with eye shadows, so I have the brush set by ecotools that I really like! In the past I've used a pencil eyeliner, but I was having problems with it leaving it's mark on my upper eyelid by the end of the day...not pretty. So, I picked up this gel eyeliner and I'm pretty happy with it so far although it seems my eye shadow is finding it's way on my eyeliner. Maybe a primer would fix that? Mascara is probably the thing that I change up the most. I usually try something new every time. 

Hopefully this wasn't too boring. :) I like seeing what other people use, so I thought it would be fun to share what I'm using right now!

Fall Is Upon Us

It has been for several weeks now actually. Most of you probably know how much I love fall! One of my favorite things about the season are all of the vibrant colors. God sure knows what He's doing when it comes to surrounding us with beauty. Actually, He knows what He's doing in everything. Period. End of story.

The kids and I were able to spend some time outside today. We decided to take a little stroll around the house, and were greeted by fall beauty everywhere we looked!

sorry about the really poor picture quality :)

::Soy de los estados unidos y hablo ingles. Hablo un poco de espanol. Dalila also started teaching Maggie & I Spanish. I'm also doing Mango laguages online through our library.

I thought this was a really neat way to display Christmas cards. My only concern is I think it may look cluttered with more cards.

Sometimes the simplest things can make such a difference in a room!
