Fluffy Friday

5.15.2009 • in the evening

I am soooo happy this week is over!
TGIF!!

I have a fluffy post for y’all, just a fun girly infomercial kind of thing because this week has been mentally and emotionally draining and I need a break.

So, about a month ago I ran out of my Bare Minerals foundation and decided that enough time has passed since the craze began, and so many companies are now offering mineral make-up that I should try some out.
I tried the less expensive ones found in the drugstore, I tried Physicians Formula, Neutrogena, L’oreal and Jane. These were all recommended in different beauty blogs and got good reviews.
My review on them...me no likey!
The prices are about $10-$15 less but they come no where close to Bare Minerals. I’d like to try the Mac version because I hear it’s great so maybe next time I run out I’ll give that a whirl.

Ulta is running a sale on their brand of products which I’ve never tried because I’m a bit of a make-up snob, I’ve asked for gift cards for my birthday so I didn’t want to spend too much of my money to buy everything that caught my eye, so I decided to try a few Ulta products.
The sale is buy 2 get 2 free, perfect!

Here is what I got:
Summer Glow Bronzer

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
It’s beautiful and not too shimmery, just gives you a beautiful healthy glow. This will be my summer must-have.

I got their Lengthening mascara which is not on their website, I love that too but the real test will be at the end of the day when I see how it holds up, so far so good.

An eyeshadow brush which I like as well.

Finally lipstick

I got it in sugar pink and it’s so pretty, love it!

With my 20% coupon which I got in the mail and my trusty Ulta discount card I got a lot for my money and got some great products.

Since I’m the palest latina on the planet I tried this and after just one application I can see a big difference and I no longer glow in the dark.
The only drawback is the smell, although it’s not as strong as some of the other brands it’s still there. I applied it last night and waited for about 10 minutes for it to completely dry before going to bed, this morning I was happily surprised. It’s supposed to gradually work in a week’s time so I was not expecting results this quickly.

That concludes Fluffy Friday with Sassy smile

I use Bare Minerals and am finally almost done with my blush.  “Laughter”.  I love it.  This is the the time of the year when I switch from blush to a bronzer so, if they have this up here, I will check it out.  Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, and maybe wearing a bronzer will be a back up plan!
