Makeup

It's strange for me to look back at these pictures of my pregnant belly because they almost don't seem real. When I was hugely pregnant I looked at pictures of my non-pregnant self and couldn't believe there was a time when I wasn't huge. And now I look at the pregnant pictures and can't believe there was a time when I was that huge. Being pregnant is weird.

It feels good to be back in some of my old clothes. Not that I can fit into all of them yet but at least I have more of a selection! And on the topic of looking and/or feeling better - I have a couple of new items in my makeup back that I am loving so I thought I'd share. (pictures are links)

First, this Blushwear Cream Stick from Clinique. It's pretty awesome. It's like a huge tube of lipstick that you rub on your cheeks. I've been wanting to try some cream blush and I'm glad I did (especially since the one I have was free)!

Second, this Lock & Roll 12-hour Eyeshadow from Tarte. I read about this in a magazine and it sounded interesting enough that I ordered one. It's cream on one end which goes on first (apparently I'm into cream makeup these days), then a roll on powder that goes on second. True to it's name it will last for 12 hours and will. not. crease. It's shimmery and makes me feel a little fancy when I wear it.

I also am the proud new owner of a foundation brush which makeup artists have been recommending for years but I never wanted to take the plunge. I found a coupon code and a sale and probably free shipping which made the one I bought worth trying. I don't use it every day because I'm sometimes lazy when putting on makeup but I like it and it makes your foundation look great. I'd recommend getting one....with a coupon code and sale and free shipping. :)
