Twilight and Bare Minerals

As many of you know, my makeup makes me think of songs in the early mornings. Maybe it's because I'm putting it on at a terribly early hour - you know before coffee-or just because I'm a little crazy. Take your pick.

I just started wearing the Feather Light powder by Bare Minerals. The sales person assured me it is good for my *ahem* older skin. It hides flaws, lines and such. Part of how it does that is it's shimmer, which you can see in the pictures below.



Now when I first put it on my skin, it has a lot of shimmer. And I am naturally very pale. It makes me think of the vampires in Twilight and their sun-reflecting skin. Think this is what Bare Minerals had in mind when they suggest this product for their *ahem* older clientele? That we all look like vampires for 15 minutes until the powder settles and sinks in? Or, is it just me?

Desire

Every morning I put on my makeup around 7am-a pretty early hour. Thankfully I wear this:




It's a great color, especially for a mom. It is from Bare Minerals It is light, gives me a bit of color and in the wee hours, if I mess it up getting it on, you really can't tell.

You may wonder at the U2 video. The name of the color is "Desire". Every morning when I put it on, the U2 song plays through my head. I figured I share it with you.

Enjoy!
