Week 1: Makeup Challenge Recap

Here's how I managed my December Makeup Challenge. 12/1 - Smashbox Halo Powder I purchased this powder during Sephora's VIB sale, and had never really used a powder foundation before. It is a very nice powder that does offer some light coverage, however it is not the product for me. I'm just not a powder girl!

12/2 - Guerlain Parure Aqua & Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer Rediscovering this foundation. It's definitely my favorite product and I definitely don't need to look for another complexion product. This bronzer is gorgeous as always.

12/4 - Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Earth Reflection Love the shimmery neutrals. Glad I picked this up in San Fran! Without primer, It made it close to 6 hrs without creasing! Though I have to say I did rub my eyes periodically forgetting I had eyeshadow on! Excited to see the wear with primer.

12/4-12/6 Couldn't wake up for my life so no makeup for me! Did manage a bit of Jouer Tinted Lip Enhancer one day! It's a pretty color and somewhat moisturizing, so that was good.

12/7 - Guerlain Parure Aqua Still love it and it wore perfectly for a day of work.

How did you guys do with your makeup challenges? :)

First Impression: theBalm Bahama Mama

I received this bronzer last night and put it on right away. Let me just say that I LOVE it.

What I love: - great matte color - affordable $19 price point - fun, portable packaging - easy to blend and apply in general! What's not to love?

December Makeup Challenge

My collection continues to grow and I'm using my products less and less. I think I put on makeup for the day only once or twice in all of November! So, my challenge for December is to use at least one makeup item each day until 2012!

I hope you will join me in this December adventure! Follow me on twitter for daily updates! Let's see how we do!
