Must Have Monday's **New Series**

THE NUDE MATTES EYESHADOW PALETTE

Welcome to my new series "Must Have Monday's"!  Every Monday I will share my latest "Must Have", it could be anything from makeup to fashion, or anything else that I feel like I can't live without at the moment.

This Monday it's the new Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette from Paula's Choice.  We have all seen the really popular Urban Decay Naked Palette's which has twelve gorgeous shades but this new one from Paula's Choice is just as gorgeous but a little different in that they are almost all beautiful Matte shades with the exception of one soft shimmer shade just so you can add a little shine to any of the Matte colors when needed.  Even better is the fact that the Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette is also less expensive!  The Urban Decay Naked Palette will cost you $54 (based on the price on the Urban Decay website) while you can get the Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette for $40.  Unfortunately, $40 is still a little too pricey for me so as usual I will wait until Paula's Choice has some sort of sale or maybe a great coupon code will be offered in the not so distant future.  Until then, it will be added to my wish list!  Are you going to be adding it to yours too?

bareMinerals Matte Foundation-Review

bareMinerals Matte Foundation SPF 15

It seems like most of us use either liquid foundation or powder foundation, it's pretty rare that someone uses both on a regular basis.  I only use powder foundation and for me it can only be bareMinerals.  Once I made the switch from liquid foundation I never looked back.  I have been a dedicated fan of bareMinerals for at least 8 years, maybe even more.  If you could talk to all of my girlfriends they would tell you I have an obscene amount of bareMinerals products, from foundation, blush to eye shadows, you name it, I probably own it, I even have an assortment of their skin care products that I love as well.  I promise to show you my entire bareMinerals makeup & skin care collection but I will save that for a blog post at a later date!

Just so you know, I am 40(ish) and (unfortunately) I have oily skin.  My favorite foundation is the bareMinerals MATTE foundation SPF15 in the medium beige shade and it's perfect fit for my skin type, it gives flawless coverage in addition to a no-makeup look & feel and also helps keep my shine to a minimum.

If you are familiar with bareMinerals you know that their products can be a little pricey.  However, like any savvy shopper who loves a good deal I always take advantage of the sales & package deals and never, ever pay full price for products, otherwise my family, furbabies & I would be living under a bridge!  I also belong to the bareMinerals club so I can take advantage of special pricing and choose what products I want and how often I want to receive them.  Plus, they send you free gifts with each shipment!  Love that!!

Have you tried bareMinerals?  What is your favorite product?  Is there a certain product you have been wanting to try?  If there is a product that you've wanted to try the chances are that I have probably tried it/own myself and would love to give you a review of it so leave a comment below!  Did you see that they just released a liquid foundation?  You can check that out here and here, now this is one liquid foundation I just might have to try!
