As a teen and young adult, I had an obsession… an addiction, if you will. I loved makeup. I spent a good amount of time on the Sephora website and picked out all the things I wanted to try. I would buy some and pine over the rest. As time went on and kids became more priority, my love obsession with makeup decreased. I still love makeup, but the time to apply it is less and I am looking for a less flashy or trendy look. I just want to look natural, cover any blemishes, and feel good about my skin. On average, I wear makeup about half the week. I am one of those people that likes to have makeup on if I am going out in public but I don’t wear it at home.
I am not good about moisturizer. I need to be and I know it but I haven’t found one that really makes me want to use it. I have used Oil of Olay for years but not consistently. When I start looking at moisturizers, I am amazed at prices. I won’t pay what is expected for some of the “miracle” creams and lotions. I want an SPF moisturizer that will keep my skin looking and feeling good… without breaking me out.
I have been using the same products for years. I love Bare Minerals makeup but have ran out of it and have not replaced it. I love Max Factor mascara but they quit selling it in the United States. I like powder foundations. MAC used to be my all-time favorite but it got to be a bit pricey for me. I will probably go back to that product at some point though if I don’t find something I love as much soon. I don’t wear lipstick and don’t use concealer. Do you see the problem? The makeup that I love the most is not in my bag anymore!!! I need some suggestions because I really am clueless about what is available now. I looked at Makeup Alley (website) and felt a bit overwhelmed.
What makeup products do you use? Mascara, foundation? What about moisturizer? Do you like it, love it, hate it?

I might be a little biased since I sell it, but I loved Mary Kay products long before I started selling them. Plus you get a money back guarantee if you decide you don’t like what you use, even if you empty the bottle!

Hi I’m Reagan, the wifey blogs sent me your way. I used to shope sephora, I used clinique. However, I just made the switch to Bare Minerals and I absolutely love it. It’s such a Natural Look that actually does so well on my skin. I saw you have already used it, but I though I might just add some positive reinforcement to it 🙂

I use Neutrogena SPF Moisturizer. I don’t know the level of SPF. It was expensive. At least to me but I’m cheap. I’ve had it over a year (SPF may not be good anymore.lol) because I have to use a small amount or else my face will be oily.
I use to be bad about using it too. I had to make a routine. Wash face, brush teeth, moisturize.
I don’t wear makeup so I can’t help you with that. 🙁

I’ve been using Clinique. I think it’s worth it to spend a little money on nice makeup, especially since I don’t wear it every day so it lasts me a while. Also, I wait till they offer their free bag of goodies with purchase 🙂

I have to have moisturizer… well, I am a skincare freak! I’m addicted. I like to use mascara when I put on make up at all and I do like the mineral foundation, but I hardly ever ever ever wear foundation and whatnot.
I’ve been using Ponds face cream at night and I normally use Olay with sunscreen during the day, but I found another one – that I can’t remember the name of – for daytime where the SPF is higher.

I shop at Sephora all the time. I am now liking a line by Korres.
It’s Wild Rose. I try to buy as natural as I can. This has been wonderful for my skin. Bare Escentuals is great but as I get older I just look to dried out. I try and try and try over and over again. I am a make-upcoholic!
