Make-up......I promised.

I feel terrible.......I have neglected my blog. I have just been absorbed by so much stuff. But, now to the promised blog....Make-up. Okay-we are in the Cincinnati area and a mall that is close to me is the Kenwood Towne Centre and also Deerfield ( close to Mason, Ohio) Commons.( Aveda and Whole Foods and Merle Norman) At the Kenwood Towne Centre-----you can have make-overs at any cosmetics counter. Or any shop-----The Body Shop-cool stuff. Nordstroms-Sephora-ETC. to the max---pick up a mall map. Have fun with this.....take friends. Make it fun! Start your experience out correctly---a clean and toned face---cleanser and toner. Then moisturizer....a must. SUNCREEN moisturizer is best. At Macy's and also Dillard's, you might have to make an appointment for the make-over, but this is a wonderful way to have loads of product and colors applied to see what really works for you. If, like Moi', you are allergic to products-they cause a burning sensation on your skin----and here I want to stress---this doesn't mean it is a bad product line---many factors come into play...the product can be 100 % plant based natural ( preferred) --and that can actually be the issue---you are allergic to that herb-plant, etc. Aveda has make-up!And so much-much more. I,on very rare occasions, allow someone to touch my face, in this manner. ( A Make-over Phobia) Which is silly.)) They all do a great job. (My Daughter's wedding was a perfect example-(Lisa Gear-Lunatic Fringe----that make-up is amazing!!!!- and Lisa is expert at application ( wonderful peeps)---it will last thru Sahara like temps....all day!)In Liberty Township---call them. Clinique-----has wonderful products and make-up!!!!! Also, REMEMBER---sunscreen first-Clinique---has one that goes under your make-up or can be worn alone. Most make-ups or lipsticks have a built-in sunscreen. They can have.Protect your lips!! Choose your color palette. This will/should change with the seasons! A favorite place of mine is Origins in Macy's. I wear their concealer now.Always. I am fond of lavender and pink colors. I love lite blue----and green eye shadows......I only wear eye make-up on very special occasions. A shame, don't you think? I think I require more and many special occasions! lol. Make-up can be and is an investment...it can be very expensive. Alot of places, but not all, will give you/ or make you a sample. This is crucial if you are allergic, like me. And some cosmetic brands will do a special give-away many times per year--small size products...for free, with a $30-$35 purchase. Not bad! Most importantly of all-have FUN!!!!!!!!Stay out of the SUN!!!!! Nah---just use a very good sunscreen.
