Look What I've Found:

Have you ever used Bare Minerals by Bare Essentials? If you haven't you really should. I have been using the Bare Mineral powder as foundation and I am now a strict convert. No foundation hits my skin unless it's Bare Minerals. I could go on QVC and sell this stuff it's so great. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and it reacts to everything by breaking out. Oh yes, I get to feel like a puberty stricken teenager quite often. My favorite? When I go on vacation ANYWHERE, my skin reacts after about 4 days. It's frustrating and embarassing. I can barely look people in the eye when my face isn't looking ok. I guess my confidence in my apperance affects me more that I would like to admit. However, since I have been using Bare Minerals, not clogging my pores with a colored lotion that never did even my skin tone out very well, my skin has been pretty darn manageable. The best part? It even works with my freckles! I use the "Fair" and "Fairly Light" powder mixed together. Each of the larger containers runs about $25, but lasts forever! I buy no more than 4 per year (1 of each color twice a year.) That I can actually afford. The Bare Essentials store is great, as is the selection at Sephora. I have a punch card at the Bare Essentials store (every time you spend 20$ you get a punch) and over the past 2 years, I have received $10 off quite a few times. Gotta love a discount on stuff you're already going to buy anyway, right? At Sephora this week, this awesome set above is $39. It includes lots of goodies, pretty colors and all are great for the upcoming warm temperatures.

This set contains:
- 0.03 oz bareMinerals Glee Radiance All-Over Face Color infused with Happybelle

- 0.02 oz bareMinerals Euphoria Eyecolor infused with Happybelle
- 0.02 oz bareMinerals Happiness Eyecolor infused with Happybelle

- Happy Clutch
What it is:

A nine-piece set featuring products infused with mood-boosting Happybelle, a complex containing a natural plant extract believed to mimic the effect of endorphins and induce a sense of happiness.

And who couldn't use a boost of happiness :)

While we're at it...Since I'm not shopping right now, I am trying to curb the addiction by "window" shopping. Unfortunately, I found these adorable wedge Wallies. They are so ugly, they're cute. Julie over at Orchid Grey wears some Matiko wedges similar to these that she totally rocks. I am looking at this style in a new light. They are pretty darned cute, with the right ensemble of course. And you know, I am a sucker for a closed toe shoe (all shoes really, it doesn't matter if a cover exists over the toes or not - I'm just being realistic here people.) I had a pair of desert shoes in junior high (similar to a wallie) and they were so comfy. Not necessarily fashion forward though, more"surfer chic" than anything. These with the wedge add a totally new dimension. I found 'em on amazon for next to nothing. I might have to beg the hubby to buy these for me, that's not cheating - is it? I think it might be. So then call me a cheater :) LOL I'm obsessed.

Steve Madden online is having their "friends and family" discount this weekend and I browsed and found these beauties:

Isn't that always the case, I find awesomeness I cannot own? All I can do is hope these go on sale at the exact time I have the moolah to make them mine. This is the sexiest copy of the Jeffrey Campbell wedges (and the copies) that I was trying to force myself to like...but I just didn't- the black I have been seeing this style in is just too stark for me. I don't think they work all that great. (Don't get me wrong, if you own it, you can wear anything but I have only seen about a handful of ladies successful at the black version of this shoe.) Now that I have spied these babies. I won't forget about them until they are in the back of my closet after many years of use :)

*sigh* i will have stylish dreams tonight :)
