Weekly Makeup Basket - 9/8/2013 - Final Thoughts

I've decided Saturday and Sunday will be my off makeup basket days so I can just do whatever I feel like doing. I'll restrict myself to the basket Monday-Friday. Some notes on my weekly makeup basket for the week of 9/8/2013:

Some noteworthy thoughts on the products that I used:

Laura Geller Balance and Brighten in Fair - I LOVE this stuff. Seriously. You can use it alone as a foundation. It gives great coverage and evens out your skin tone. You can use it over foundation and it helps to set your look and make everything look flawless. Also, it seems to last forever. I'm been working on my current compact for over a year now, using it off and on. I will definitely repurchase this product when I run out. The bonus being that sometimes you can get it as part of a TSV deal on QVC with extra products.  

Laura Geller Balance and Bronze in Medium - Again, I LOVE this stuff too. This is the best bronzer hands down. I've tried other, but none have come close to how easy this bronzer is to use. It's never orange. It gives your skin almost a pinky-brown glow. It looks totally natural and it comes in different shade options depending on your skin tone. I've used both the fair and the medium with great results depending on how much bronzing I was in need of and how tan my skin is. I will never be without this bronzer. 

I'm really bad at remembering to use my lipsticks and glosses. My problem is that I get ready in the morning, and I have a big cup of coffee with me. I always finish my makeup first and I don't see the need to put on lipstick while I'm actively drinking something. Then I forget to take my lipsticks with me. I could apply them before I leave the house or when I get to work, but again, I'm most likely getting another cup of coffee once I get in the building (yah, I'm a bit of a coffee addict in the morning). So, even the ones I do have in my purse hardly get used. And it's not that I have naturally good looking pigmented lips. I could definitely use some lipstick, I'll admit that. Anyone else have this issue or am I just lipstick challenged? Let me know.

And stay tuned for next week's makeup basket picks.
