What’s the biggest craze out? Mineral make-up and I am GLAD to say I am apart of it. My weapon of choice is Bare Mineral’s (Bare Escentuals). If you keep up on my post you will find mention of it often. I am a Baremineralaholic (my made up word ), but for good reason. Mineral make-up is becoming one of the hottest beauty trends I have seen in a long while. With the first mention of mineral make-up back in the ’70’s, this new craze spread like wildfires.

Mineral makeup claims numerous health/skin benefits, stating to be so natural you can sleep in it. I love it simply for the way it makes me look. With one sweep of the brush, I have the airbrushed skin look going on. Simply Great! Mineral makeup gives you a natural, light, lasting glow. Other makeup products strive for what this makeup has already done. I usually break out or have some other nasty side effect from makeup, but not this one. Could it be the missing irritants, such as fragrance and preservatives, maybe? Bare Minerals has my skin looking even toned and healthy, I don’t know how they do it, but they do it. Now almost everything is capable of coming in the small powder jars. I know, because I have a whole case of mineral makeup .

Good for your skin or not, I love it. I haven’t any trouble wearing it and you’d have a hard time ripping my flawless face brush from my hand . If this is your first time hearing about mineral makeup, "where have you been" and if you have heard about it you should already own some and know what I am talking about!

Just Swirl Tap and Buff yourself to beautiful skin!

Whether you work or are a Stay at home mom, we all can use a little more time during the day to put on make up. It gets hard when you have to take care of everyone else in the morning, but it can be done. The key is to Simplify. Simplify and find a routine that incorporates your time for make up application.

     I find that the easiest and fastest make up for me to use is Bare Escentuals Warmth, Eyebrow kit, and their blush. Application is very easy to do and it goes on quickly with out all the mess. It’s hard to go wrong with this make up. I bought the Essential Eyebrow kit, which is very easy to master for any beginner. Then I went to, one of my favorite spots, QVC and bought a kit, Glamorista Grand Collection that had everything else I needed, and then some. For my lip gloss I use, this is a shocker, Love My Lips Lip Gloss Lip Juice (strawberry flavor) from Walmart. This is the best lip gloss I have found that I like, and it was so cheap, only like 2.00. Then I end with a little eye shadow (warm earth tone). A little crimp from my eye lash curler and I am done and ready for the day!

     I keep all my items right next to the sink in easy reach. That way I can simply grab, use, and go. A good trick is to sit out everything you need the night before, so you can quickly get your make up on in the morning. Make a routine of waking up, brushing teeth, shower, (while waiting for steam to clear out) get dressed, then back in the bathroom for make up application. Try to do all this before the kids or anyone notices you are moving around (so stay in your room until done). You may feel like a ninja creeping around, but it is well worth it. Otherwise, you may have to balance a baby on your lap while putting on make up. But hey, whatever works…works.

     Get your make up application down as simple and quickly as possible. The easier it is the more likely you are to keep it up. Looking beautiful shouldn’t take all day!
