I sometimes wish I enjoyed doing my own hair as much as I enjoyed doing everyone elses.

I should have painted my nails tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I want yellow again.

- KB- Sorry! Nail polish is the only thing I'll buy from AA.

- I want to try Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer.

Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer (my current foundation), is the fullest coverage tinted moisturizer I know. I checked my feelings about it with some Laura Mercier sales associates, and they said, “no, no. It’s buildable. It’s very sheer if you apply with a damp sponge.” I guess anything can be sheer applied with a damp sponge.

I apply LM TM with my fingers, and I like it because it wears really comfortably, and I think it blends out to be invisible —Â invisible perfecting is my personal foundation goal (I just want to even out my skintone). I also find that a bit of foundation under the eyes does about half the concealing job I want, so I need less concealer (meaning less creasing).

Laura’s TM contains SPF 20, and a 1.5 oz. tube is $42. It also comes in an oil-free version.

From here.

ETA: Or the Make Up Forever Mat Velvet Foundation:

Or if I can find an organic TM/ Foundation with comparable shades.

ETAA: Sorry I'm having a hard time resizing the first picture.

@Lafleur, you mentioned in a previous thread that you bought Cover Girl's pressed powder. What color did you get and how is it working for you?

I bought Cover Girl's Clean oil-free pressed powder in Tawny this weekend to try. It's suppose to help with oily skin. I'm wearing it now and it seems to match my skin tone. As I applied it, I could tell it's slightly darker than my tone but as I smoothed it out, it looks ok.

I guess as long as it doesn't look horrible, I'm ok...right?

you can try to make your own earring frame holder like i did, check my brief explanation about it HERE.

I need to re-do it though cuz I have TRIPLE amount of earrings now and my mesh is loosening.
