But I have to rave about a few products, ‘kay? Mkay.
Clorox Green Works: This. Is. AWESOME. I saw it at Walmart and said “Well, I could try it.” And I’m glad I did. It doesn’t smell bad, it’s made from all natural ingredients, and it WORKS. It will dissolve the baked-on gunk on my stove, which is hard to do. lol. I spray a little bit on before I start cooking, and then wipe it off about a minute later, and then cook away. That way, I know my counters and stove are sanitary enough to me to eat off of. (Not that I would…)
Everyday Minerals Makeup: Honestly, the best makeup I have ever used. It’s light, it’s cheap, it’s all natural. You can get one foundation pot for $12 (US) and it lasts me about 3 months. With every order, you can also get a FREE (!!!) “starter kit” of foundations and blushes, which, when picked in the correct colors and later mixed together, give you a full large pot of foundation with an added bonus: YOUR BLUSH MIXED RIGHT IN! I order one every time I get more foundation, and it’s really a nice addition. They also have wonderful eyeshadows in a wide range of colors and finishes. (From matte to sparkle) My favorites are Oasis Shimmer, Chamomile Shimmer, and Scented Candles Pearl. They’re all a peachy-gold, and they work well to blend. The only issue I have is that they don’t last very long on their own. It’s necessary to wear an eye primer to help the color stick.
The mini kabuki brush that they sell is also a must-have. It’s got the benefits of soft fiber and a firm construction, and it’s perfect for buffing on your foundation. The next time I order, I’ll also be getting the Angled Blush Brush, Everyday Eye Shadow Brush, and the Flat Top brush. And, I’m seriously thinking about buying a set of their mixing bowls to help when I’m mixing my custom shade. (Did I mention the ease of mixing their foundations? It’s a surefire way to get your perfect shade!)
Oh, and in case you were wondering, I’m a “Fairly Light Neutral” with a hint of “Sunkissed Fair.” (I mix Fairly Light, Light Neutral, and Sunkissed Fair for my perfect shade.)
Ok, now I’ve talked your ear off about some random products, I’m going to go do something productive! (Not really, I’ll probably go to bed. Haha.)
