I started to read to catch up. I made it through a couple of pages. But then I just couldn't stand it any more, and I skipped a little over 4000 posts. On the bright side, my oh-my-goodness-gracious-I-can't-believe-how-busy-I-am-month may actually be over, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming human again. And to reading b.org again!!
That said, I have to run to a meeting, but I feel like it may actually be possible for me to read and post for at least
two whole days in a row!
My make up samples came today. They are very pretty. Does anyone have any advice on applying them.
Mine arrived too - but I don't have time to play with them. I would think a make-up brush would be the best way to apply.
Anyone want to move next door to us?

Lawn repair a must. (There's no driveway, so the current owners made their own...what a mess.)
If you look beyond the "driveway" you'll see our white minivan parked in our yard which is sideways to their lot.
That's a lot of money for such a tiny place. Especially one with the description "Charming home w/ tons of potential...A little elbow grease & you're good to go." That's really code for "Best improved with a match," right?
And I think their addition is off on the square footage.
Dammit! Peregrine falcon,
right
outside my window, looks like he's going into a stoop. And then he disappears below my level of vision and I can't see what happened!
They taunt me!
Drive by to wish the Zmayhems a happy anniversary!

Get a flocked sponge (Walgreens has them) or a Kabuki brush (weirdly, the Target house brand "bronzer" brush is pretty good, considering it's under $5). I've also used a regular foundation brush and a blush brush, but find that the sponge works best for me, with the brush second best.
There are many sites with application suggestions, and Alima's own looks pretty good: [link]
My method is to tip a small amount of minerals into the lid or a dish, and to press the flocked sponge into the powder, folding the sponge aronud the minerals and sort of squishing them in. I then start applying in short, downward strokes near my jawline, working my way up and towards the middle of my face. Always start with less than you think you'll need.
