For years now I’ve wanted to try Bare Minerals makeup.  I can’t imagine it had anything to do with my former obsession with infomercials.  Anyway after consulting some of the knotties I decided I would give it a try.  M and I ran by the mall yesterday to go to the store.  Since I really had no idea what to do I decided it might be best to let someone show me.  I sat down and proceeded to let the sales guy tell me more.  Yes I said sales guy and YES he was wearing makeup (it was pretty natural but still).  He showed me the different steps and made me up.  🙂

At first I wasn’t quite sure what I thought but my make up looked good.  A little more then I normally do but I figured that was par for the course.  The more the make up settled, the more I liked it.  I had a nice glow and my skin looked great.  I must say I really felt pretty.

This morning I had my first shot at swirling and buffing.  My first few attempts didn’t seem to do much.  I added a little more powder and kept going.  I finally thought I had enough on and continued to the next step.  This step went pretty well and I finished up.  I know it will take a few days to get everything figured out but so far so good.

And if I can just say, I was so excited about my new make up I dreamed about it all last night. 😀

Today I had an appointment with the dermatologist.  I’ve had a little spot on my cheek for a while now that I’ve ignored.  But a few weeks ago it got really itchy and scaly and would bleed when I scratched it.  I decided it was time to have it removed.  Thankfully I didn’t think too much about the removal process or I might have freaked out.  I guess I thought she would freeze it off so I didn’t think about the fact I might get a shot in my cheek. 🙁  I was a big girl and I made it through the shot and the removal.  Now I have a little band aid that I have to wear on my face until it heals.  BOOOO!  The doc said they should have the pathology back in a week or so.  Hopefully it will just be a little sun damage.
