Best Lip Color That I Have Ever Used - Tip #11

Reel me in 'cause I am hooked!! I have dry, sensitive, peeling lips. Always have and always thought that I would. Not anymore!

I tried Bare Escentuals Buxom Big and Healthy Lip Polish for $18 that Tori at Bare Escentuals told me about. She applied the Dolly color. It is great!

It has enough color so that you don't have to wear a lipstick with it and enough shine to be a lip gloss. It is a lip plumper product and it really does plump up your lips. (I didn't wear any today and they still feel plump from yesterday!) It has menthol in it, so it gives you a cool, tingling feeling. It is also meant to decrease fine lines and my lips look great today. The tube is also really big.

I am hydrated, plumped up and less wrinkly lipped today. What more could a 42 year old want out of her cool lip gloss? Nothing, just more colors for my collection!

I did go back and get the Vanessa color. It is a deep red and actually is still red when it hits your lips. I never get that out of a gloss. The dark reds usually are hot pink when I get home and put them on. I like that you can try all of the colors at the Bare Escentuals counter before you decide to buy anything. Much smarter shopping!

I know what I am requesting for Mother's Day. More Buxom lip gloss colors, please!!!

Makeup Makeover - Tip #10

I use Bare Minerals makeup and have for years and really like it. Then, I saw a Bare Escentuals makeup counter at Macy's a few months ago. I called for an appointment and had them re-do all of my makeup. (The last lesson I had was probably in 8th grade by my Mother! :)

I can't believe how much I learned and how much I did NOT know in applying makeup correctly. I was amazed at how learning a few tips make such a big difference. Best of all, the makeover is no charge.

So, the tip of the day is to schedule a time with your favorite makeup counter and get a refresher course in the makeup that you use. I plan on going back to my new favorite makeup artist, Tori, in a few months to have her show me a new summer look for my eyes, as well.

If you are local and go to the Bare Escentuals counter in the Galleria Mall Macy's, be sure to schedule your appointment with Tori (702-458-7300 x 2120)! She is an amazing artist, wonderful teacher and delightful person. Thank you, Tori, for my new look! I love it!
