Hi, Karen here with ‘what’s in my beauty bag’ :o)
When I’m buying beauty products, I have to look for two things…low cost and products that can be tolerated by my sensitive skin. I mean super sensitive! I think at one point I tried every make-up base our local discount store carried. So, I am more than happy to be able to share with you some of my favorite finds that are easy on your face and that won’t break your budget.
I always start my routine with a layer of moisturizer. My favorite at the moment is Purpose Moisture Lotion available at Wal-Mart, Target or drug store chains.
For my foundation I use Everyday Minerals Original Glo Formula available on-line. There are four foundation choices available for every type of skin. After trying another brand of mineral make up in the past I was really skeptical that this would work for me. But, I ordered a free sample ($5 for shipping) and was shocked when I ended up loving it. If you have dry skin like me, be sure and put a moisturizer on first. Also, the last thing I do is get my brush a tiny bit damp and brush lightly under my eyes to remove any powdery look.
For color on my face I use Everyday Minerals Cheek.
For my eyes I use Everyday Minerals eye color in Hot Chocolate,
Covergirl Perfect Point Eye liner in Charcoal, and Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara by Maybelline, that I tested thoroughly last June at my daughter’s wedding.
And lastly, if I’m dressing up, a light, natural feeling lip color, Burt’s Bee’s Lip Shimmer.
I hope I’ve helped anyone else out there with super sensitive skin by giving you a little peak inside my make-up bag. Check back tomorrow for a fun hybrid post by Denise!
Yes, you have! Thanks!!!
Everyone, it seems, loves burt’s bees – I really must check this out here in oz!!! Great beauty bag post, Karen!! :o)
I use a lot of Burt’s Bees, too! Haven’t tried the lip shimmer, though. I’ll have to look into that… I tend to “chew off” my lipstick, so most of the time I don’t bother, lol! Thanks so much for sharing your beauty bag, I just love these posts!!
Thank you! I will have to try these! Especially Burt’s Bees! :)
oooh, I have to try those products. I already use the Burt’s Bees lip shimmer. It’s a must. I do not like spending a lot of money on products, so awesome! off to try these since I happen to be shopping today! Anyone know of a good product for those mid-30s skin that still has acne! Ugh! My skin is worse now than in my teens. It’s hard to find an anti-aging but still need treatment. I challenge anyone to find it! :)
