Under 5

I've been trying to figure out a way to get everyone something this holiday season that wasn't a mug and some hot chocolate mix from the dollar store. It wasn't easy but I did it. I was able to get about 12 people on my list covered for about 5 dollars each. These are the sweet people that help me through the year but are not close friends or relatives. Here is what I came up with!!

Foundation has always been a problem with me, as it does with most women. So when Bare Minerals came out it was almost like the heavens opened and sang "Hallelujah". So while I did pay the 25 dollars, times changed and so did the budget. While I have tried other mineral make up, most ended up making me feel like it was caked on. So I gave a liquid mineral a chance and to my surprise to this day I still vow by Maybelline Minerals Perfectecting liquid makeup, plus Oprah gave it her seal of approval, Oprah.

Mark. earth has just launched and this is very exciting for the world of blush. Mark Earth Face Glow is an all over face shine. If all over isn't your think you can follow in my footsteps, I bought the Quartz and have been using as blush ever since. One swoop over my cheek bones and I'm good to go, it give a subtle "grandma pinched my cheeks" glow.

Favorite Chapstick you may ask? Well since I named my blog after it you should know, its cherry chapstick. Actually its a brand called Soft Lips that you can find at Wal*Mart. The tube is small and stay on your lips, its made for a girl. They have a lifer in me, I'm addicted. The slight tingle you get with it after snowboarding you can tell it works. The shine is perfect, the moisture works well and it lasts even if you have some Starbucks.
