She's Got The Look

I'd like to go on the record as stating that I am not a make-up person. I don't really like to buy it and I can't say with certainty that I truly know how to apply it the right way. That, and I have a husband who thankfully believes I look great without it (love you Dear).

That's why the night of my birthday a few weeks back, I knew I had to enlist the help of my wonderful cousin, Olivia, for assistance with the make-up needed to do the complete Betty Boop transformation.

Needless to say, she must have done a more than spectacular job or I must do a terrible one in everyday life, because all night long people kept telling me how great I looked, specifically with this make-up. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. Even I started thinking maybe I was on to something. So, I went shopping with Liv and she helped me pick up the stuff she had used. It's called Bare Escentuals and I have to say, I'm really happy with how easy it goes on. It's mineral based so not heavily applied, which means I still feel like myself, but can definitely see the difference in how I look more 'awake'.

Hopefully now I won't have people so shocked by the sight of me.
