Summertime Makeup :(

Ok...So I've been freaking out because as you all know, I just started wearing makeup full blown this past Fall. So I've been concerned about summertime and my foundation. I wear MAC Select SPF 15 Liquid Foundation, and I know damn well during the summer when its 100 degrees outside, it will melt off my face, mix in with whatever sweat my nose usually produces, and clog every single pore in my face....EWWWWWWWWWW sounds GROSS right???? Well, here's something that's even grosser. Just as I was beginning to think that I dont wear as much makeup as some ppl do...........I was in the bathroom doing my everyday routine which is usually just foundation, powder, and blush (of course liner, mascara, and gloss). As I was about to spray my powdered and foundationed (is that a word? lol) face with Fix+, I accidentally scratched my forehead with my fingernail, and OH EM GEE!!!!!!!! lol....it literally looked as though I scratched off my skin, then I realized, I scratched off my layers of makeup. I was sooooooo digusted. So, thats when I realized "IM WEARING WAY TO MUCH MAKEUP!"....So I got my makeup remover wipes, and cleaned my face COMPLETELY! Then, I started staring at myself. I looked at all the acne scars, and red patches, and I told myself that I NEED to hide them, but not to the point where I look like a freakin cake! So, that when it came to me...POWDER AND CONCEALER ONLY! I dont need liquid foundation! Although I do like the way I look with it, I dont like what it does to my face! So now, all I wear to cover up my imperfections is my MSF Natural, and a little concealer. Thats it. Thats all I need to look healthy, yet REAL! So since powder did the trick, I was thinking maybe I should try Bare Escentuals (spelling?) mineral foundation powder. We'll see. I'll go to the mall this week, and test it out :) Luckily, there's a Bare Escentuals right next to the MAC store @ my mall :)

Maxi Dresses aka Town Gowns???

Okkkk so I finally got the time to go to the mall w/ my sis and we've been seeing these commercials for Old Navy's "Town Gowns"...so I guess these are going to be hot on the east coast this spring because it was only 60 degrees yesterday, which really isnt warm, especially with the wind, and we saw a bunch of girls with these maxi dresses on (I guess thats what they're called). So I did some online browsing and they run from about $25 - $30 on all the sites I've been to...I guess I'll be buying a couple...if I can find a print that I like, because the one's I've seen make me want to puke...lol. Here's some pics of the style :) They're actually cute. I'll probably wear them with a cardigan and some cute sandals or flip flops :)

OMG..MAC STYLE WARRIOR & ROSE ROMANCE BLUSH/BRONZER!!!

I saw these pics on Temptalia.com and I must say, I will definitely be buying all of these powders :) --- The 1st collection is called Style Warrior and it debuts on May 28th, 2009.
