Treated myself last night... some product raves
Went to Sephora and purchased:
Benefit's That Gal (brightening face primer)
http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P189147&categoryId=B70
I absolutely love it! I'm actually wearing it alone today. Just gives a nice bit of glow and evens out my skin tone
Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P210400&categoryId=B70
This was actually a re-purchase. I love this stuff! A lot of times, I'll wear absolutely nothing on my face except this and it just evens everything out.
Tarte Cheek Stain in Tickled
http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P38468&categoryId=B70
I used to LOVE this stuff back in the day (I think I was still in high school) when this stuff came out. It's a great, sheer cheek stain and the colors are all so flattering. And it smells like jam!

Re: Treated myself last night... some product raves
How do you like that Benefit face primer? Do you feel it as in, is it heavy?
I wear the Benefit Benetint, and man do I love that stuff. It evens me out, gives me a little color and its super light.
However, I am seeing tons about this face primer business.
Im just worried I'd end up looking like a tranny hooker, ya know?
LOL
The face primer is SOOOOOOOOO light. I can't feel it on my face at all and it goes on very light. It's a little more viscous than a liquid, but nowhere near as dense as a cream.

After we had that blush conversation a few months ago, I picked up some cheek stain. I love the way it smells.
I have recently gotten the Yes to Carrots leave-in conditioner. I may be late on this train, but it makes my hair so soft.
I treated myself last weekend to some Sephora stuff too! I loooooooove Benefit products. I've had That Gal for a while, but I never really noticed a difference on my skin. I bought their concealer - the one in the little pink pot. The consistency and color are perfect. The Dandelion powder and High Brow pencil are other favorites of mine.
I think I might go back this weekend and pick up some lip gloss and eye cream. I discovered my first wrinkles a couple of weeks ago and I'm not handling it as well as I thought I would.
This is one of my favs!
Also,
Erase Paste? I wanted to buy that, but I have fine lines under my eyes and the consistency seems like it would settle into the fine lines and make them more noticeable.
I HATE YOU THIRTY!

Yes, that's the one! My new eye wrinkles seem to be handling it just fine. It's hard to tell in the pot, but there's a slight sheen to it, so it brightens up my circles.
I have lines everywhere now.
Eyes. Parentheses. The edges of my lips. Forehead. I think I need to learn to accept it. At least no one can accuse me of being 20 anymore.
So far, it's only really under my eyes. I think it's all the years of having light blue eyes and NEVER owning a pair of effing sunglasses. I could SMACK my 20 year old self.

I'll take it!
And I love how it seems that at gtgs, I end up with awesome hair product. During the NJ gtg a few years back, HS came with a whole BOX of Ouidad products for me!
Thanks Bowies!

I went on a Lush bath bomb spending spree last night, so good timing imoan. Whee!
I love going into Lush, but I hate taking baths. So I sit there and consider buying all the bath bombs- but then admit to myself that they'll just end up sitting in my linen closet for the next 5 years.

I want all of these products now. I have fair skin that is a little bit splotchy from sun damage. So a quick fix that evens it out is what I need!
Thanks for the rec!
I also have fair skin that has some splotchiness (mostly due to scars from my lovely adult acne) and tends towards redness. I definitely think you should check it out!

Here's a rec for you--but you probably don't need it since you just went to Sephora.
Paula Begoun, Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. It has sunscreen in it! SPF 20
You can get a cute little sample jar for 80 cents. Simple and a bit of evening out for summer.

ETA: I've seen every Gilmore Girls episode. Was so sad when it went off the air. I feel like the town I work in resembles Starr's Hollow.
Thank you! I always love a good recommendation.
And YAY Gilmore Girls! It really is one of the best shows ever. I actually own two copies of the entire collection on dvd. I pretty much just cycle through the show all year long. When I get to the last episode, I start over at episode 1 again. And I still will watch it when it's on tv. I have problems.
I love little Stars Hollow-like towns. My hometown looked like Stars Hollow. So cute!
