2. Three things that bring a smile to your face? 1. New make-ups {well make-up... period} 2. My new tan 3. Friends
3. What do you wear to sleep? I usually wear Xilaration pj pants/boxers from Target {these are so cute, and super comfy and under $10} and a men's white v-neck undershirt (3/$6 at Target).
4. Your favorite pair of shoes? Lately my favorite shoes are these gray leather high heels I bought on sale a few months ago... I still haven't worn them yet, but they are my current favorite to look at.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Today I'm testing my "go-to" summer make-up routine. This past week, it got up into the 90's {still chilly compared to our summer temperatures}, so I wanted to find something lightweight that isn't going to melt off 5 minutes after I put it on. I like what I came up with:
Clinique Almost Make Up SPF 15- I love this lightweight, minimum coverage, tinted moisturizer. I've pretty much used it every summer since 7th grade- minus a few late-teen-early-20's-acne-prone-years.
Bare Minerals Warmth- Better than a bronzer, this all-over-face color gives my skin a warm, radiant glow. Unlike bronzers which can be shimmery/orange/cakey this miracle in a jar makes my skin look naturally sun kissed.
Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara- I'm trying to go low maintenance this summer, and this mascara is awesome! It claims to curl lashes with just one coat- I was SHOCKED when it actually worked! It lifts and fans eyelashes rather than "curls," but it did allow me to skip the lash curling step when I got ready today.
Benefit's Benetint Rose Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain- I have been eyeballing this product for years, YEARS! I finally ordered it, along with the pinkish Posietint, and picked them up from the post office this morning. I love it! This looks-like-blood-in-a-nail-polish-jar gave my cheeks and lips the perfect rosy flush. I just popped on some Burt's Bees chapstick over top, and my lips look "natural, but better." As for my cheeks, this product is a stain, not a cream or powder, so it's rub/sweat/summer resistant. I'm in love.
6. Your latest food/snack obsession? Pretzels. I love them, and they're healthy which is a bonus {not that I really care- remember the cruise-soft-serve business?}
7. Are you double jointed? Yes, in my thumbs. Apparently it's called "hitch-hiker-thumb" {eww, hitch hikers.} Anyway, they've always been that way, I actually can't make them straight, when I do a "thumbs up" the tips bend backwards, and if I try to straighten them, it hurts... hmmm?
8. What’s one beauty product that everyone else raves about yet doesn’t rock your boat? Insert Brand Here Cream Blushes. Unfortunately, I have oily skin, so cream-makeup-of-any-kind slips off my face within an hour after application. I love the concept, and the look, but they do not rock my boat. C'est la vie.
9. Outfit: Abercrombie t-shirt, and white shorts, bare feet & pony tail. It's a nice relaxing day.
10. Your weekly goals: Get this wedding album edited and finished before summer school starts on Tuesday! Yikes, I'm a little stressed out. I shot this wedding 2 years ago- Summer of '08. After numerous e-mails/phone calls/texts asking if she was having trouble or needed help, the bride FINALLY gave me their photo/album order while I was on my cruise and requested it be done by June 1st (over 150 photos 120 of which are to be put in an album with a customized layout)... So now all of my other clients' orders had to be put on the back burner... My main goal is to stay motivated, "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it."

Happy Monday! PS I'll be posting more cruise pictures later this week.
I've been wearing bene tint for a long time and I love it :) I got a sample size of posetint and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like it on my lips, sometimes, but it's a little too pink for me. But seriuosly, benetint is AMAZING! I always wear it when I'm having a not-so-much make-up day and when I go swimming/gym/anything where i think i'll need make-up for an extended period of time and don't feel like touching it up :)
