my daughter (16) has suffered from acne, and the dermatologist recommened mineral makeup. i started her a couple of years ago with bare essentuals, but that loose makeup and a sloppy teen just made one big mess every morning. i started buying her milani pressed mineral makeup and it was...

happy halloween! i figured i would just lump all halloween here in one thread. my husband is a car sales manager, so each year we dress him up with a different way to be killed (because he says car salesmen are lowest rank on the totem pole anyway, always wanted dead). last year was a bullet...

strobe cream, i've never tried it before. not sure if im going to put it on my face first or mix it in my foundation? i've heard raves about the clinique pore minimizer so i was glad to see that there. but the best thing: 109 brush!

i'm posting this first to possibly inspire any other collectors of makeup on ways to store it all, and secondly to hold myself accountable in pictures of the amount of makeup i have hoarded, hopefully before i buy anything new i can at least look back at this pics and maaaayybe resist another...

my 15 year old daughter just started regularly wearing makeup, and i saw her hunched over on her bed trying to see her face in a tiny mirror....soooo, i LOVE MissChevious' ikea MALM dressing table, but there is no ikea store near me and it would be $230 shipping and handling to order it online...
