Anyhoo, when I don't feel good about myself I tend to skip the makeup and not make any effort with my 'do, just slap some product in it after the old shower and run out the door with it wet. Not that there is a thing wrong with being natural. I'm just aware that is how I behave when I am not valuing myself as much as I should. Sooo..... Sunday I treated myself! Nothing extravagant, just some drugstore/Wally products. But I got new foundation, powder, mascara and a new tool for my 'do!
The foundation is a liquid mineral foundation by Maybelline. Unless I go high-end, the foundations light enough for my winter-pale skin usually is way too pink. But there are a ton of shades with this foundation so I found one that worked without making me look too pink!

The powder is another mineral product, Physician's Formula Mineral Powder, in translucent:

The mascara is one I always see in magazines as a great buy at a low price; a never-fail oldie but goodie: Maybelline Great Lash:

And last but not least, the tool for my 'do. Mine is silver, not blue, and it was only $23... I can't figure out how this one is different from the one I bought so I'm including a pic of it, too. I've tried it once already and it cut my drying time in half, probably because it cuts out the whole 'dryer in one hand, round brush in the other' routine:

Anyhoo, I tried on the makeup and love it!
Have a fab evening!

Lovely! It's always so energizing to find new make-up!
On a side note, how do you use the agave? In equal measures as sugar or Equal, or do you use less? Thx!
@cammy, i use the agave alone as a sweetener for coffee or tea, or as syrup on my blueberry oatmeal pancake http://bit.ly/dDnYKu or in smoothies. when i use it i don't use another sweetener. i have not cooked with it, that i can remember, but if i do i will be sure to report back! by the way i take back what i said about the almond milk being ok after i accidentally froze it, it had a weird taste then. time to make another batch! and GUESS WHO WENT TO THE GYM THIS MORNING! i was there by 6 a.m. for my slo-mo 30 minutes on the elliptical. now i've gotta hustle to get ready for work. have a fab day!
oh, and if i use pb2 i add a couple drops of agave to one serving when i mix it.
Oh my, you look GREAT!!!
thanks agnes :)
I think it's definitely ON topic. AFter all, you want to stop dieting and change your life. This helps you do both. And as an extra bonus point it's fun.
