Putting my face on

I also like to clean my brush about once a week. I'm probably doing it wrong, but I use the same stuff I use to wash my face to clean it.

Nah, when I bought my bare minerals, they told me that the face wash in the kit was great for cleaning the brushes.
Sounds like a great theroy to me.

And I may just need to get a brush.
Damn this whole money thing.... I want more to buy silly stuff!!

Yeah, I did. I've still got that in the back of my mind. I'll admit to being stymied in that department, out of pure indecision. Just now I did a little searching and yeah, you guys are right, the pill can cause blotches, and the blotches are often permanent. Ah, well, I guess that's how the ball bounces.

So you can play and experiment to your hearts content. I'm sure there is a solution to cover that spot without looking tan every day. You just haven't found it yet.

You're probably right.

I swear, in the end, laziness is my worst enemy.

LOL Yes, I agree. I need more money, too. Last night I went and picked up things {on my mad money budget} and am going to play with it tomorrow {I guess...} I was a bit embarrassed buying so much crap. I felt like it was an act of desperation or something. Like alphabassettgrrl said, we should all feel pretty and really, we don't need to go overboard. But, do what we feel is right for us.

I looked at colors and while some looked pretty interesting, I knew I wouldn't use them.

I am very intrigued with that curler, I don't have spectacular lashes, either, and the basic kind is, well, too basic. Blah.

The foundation/brush deal~ do you put a small amount on your palm and then dab the brush? On the link you gave, it suggested after brushing using the sponge to smooth it out. I am thinking of those old white sponges but what about those newer brown actual sponge looking type?

CP, hopefully if it is from the pill a change will eliminate your problem. If not, I have heard of a line of skin care that really helps with that. I haven't used it, I need it, but it is pricey. Let me know and I can find info on it.

The key there... we should all feel pretty.
Should and lack of confidence do not go hand in hand.
