I have an Ulta store literally in my back yard and have not stepped foot in it for the 5 years it has been here!! It is located in the shopping center that is right on the side of my townhouse development! I can walk to it!!I wear Loreal mineral makeup, mascara and eye shadow. I do not use eye liner, never could gt it to look right..... I usually buy my make up at Wegman's.... or Target on sale. I am so glad that you stopped by because I am now rediscovering your blog and enjoying myself!!<br />Hugs,<br />DebDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-80835707871795719072018-02-25T08:10:38.859-07:002018-02-25T08:10:38.859-07:00Firstly, happy belated Birthday!

That mascara sounds like something I will try. That is one thing I hate about getting older....miss my long lashes. I wear a little makeup everyday. Like you, I feel its part of my getting dressed and ready for a new day. It makes me feel good.<br />Have a great day<br />JeannetteJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434028465184764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-38694167627251002112018-02-22T15:58:51.525-07:002018-02-22T15:58:51.525-07:00I love make up and I often buy a lipstick, mascara...I love make up and I often buy a lipstick, mascara, etc. I personally love Lancôme products, except for lipsticks which I buy for the color.<br />I wear artificial eye lashes for weddings and yes, they look awesome!

I use Loreal mascara and love it! Its not exactly like yours, but it looks fantastic. My hairdresser just started getting artificial eyelashes that lasts for months and look so unbelievably real. I have no idea what she pays for this or where she goes, but I'll have to remember to ask her next time. I love IT products, but I haven't found a great foundation yet. I used to use mineral powder, but now I use nothing and I need something...ha,ha! You're looking great!carol@The Red Painted Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759735039946191246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-81728403181828460472018-02-21T16:15:03.966-07:002018-02-21T16:15:03.966-07:00I LOVED this post!

Like you, putting on a little make up is also part of my getting dress in the morning routine, even if I don't even have plans to leave the house that day. :) All the items you mentioned I have never used before so it was very interesting to me to read your opinions. I am definitely going to try the ELF face primer.

How the heck did we get this old?!?! lol I use very little make up--and no matter how crappy I might feel in the morning I do this---A bit of mineral powder, a little mascara, a swipe of blush and lipstick and I'm done. lol I do use use the Neutrogena pads to take off my makeup at night and I use the Boots 007 serum and day cream and call it good. I quit wearing eye-shadow because I thought it make me look older and because I am so fair it really showed up. I haven't worn eyeliner in years and years either. I still have a couple of girlfriends that line the inside of their lower lids and I want to tell them that it is never going to be the 1960s again...but I keep my mouth shut. lol<br /><br />Have a great week. xo Diana <br /><br />ps- You look GREAT!!!!!<br />NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-482597230966129992018-02-19T11:14:35.898-07:002018-02-19T11:14:35.898-07:00You look mah-velous Ms. Carol!

I used to wear a lot of make up as a teen/ 20s girl, then I wore nothing but mascara for a long time on a daily basis. Now I am getting into it a bit more again, so I love this post. I am going to try that mascara.

I've been using a matte eye shadow for a while now too and love it so much more than the sparkly ones. I clean my sponges and brushes with baby wash, but maybe I need to try your "recipe." :) Lisa @ Texas Decorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324912792298425253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-88586272126025694572018-02-19T07:31:57.892-07:002018-02-19T07:31:57.892-07:00Lots of good things to check out...

Looks like a shopping trip is needed after seeing what you bought and liked. Ah yes, finding eyebrow makeup can be iffy. I find that most of them are too red for my fair skin and white hair. Saw "eyebrow wigs" on a blog the other day. hmmm... Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.com
