Reader Request: Makeup! & A Birthday Wish

Hello there and Happy Wednesday!!  I've gotten several requests for my makeup lineup - but keep in mind I am not a makeup and beauty guru (there are lots of amazing beauty bloggers out there that I could refer you to, though!).  Here's what I'm using now, in the order which I use them:
  1. Moisterizer: Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion SPF 15
  2. Foundation: Bobbi Brown Moisterizing Cream Compact Foundation in 3.5 Warm Beige with the Bobbi Brown Foundation brush
  3. Concealer: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Beige with the i.D. Bare Essentials Concealer brush
  4. Blush: Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony with the i.D. Bare Essentials brush
  5. Loose Powder: Bobbi Brown Loose Face Powder in Soft Sand 5 with the i.D. Bare Essentials Full Flawless Face brush
  6. Eyebrows: MAC Shadow in Swiss Chocolate with MAC liner brush (hmm can't see the style number anymore!)
  7. Eyeshadows: MAC Shadows in Floral Inc., Bloomcycle, Sun-Shy, Part Peony, Poppy Noir, Fresh Cut.  And then one more brownish-colored staple, Brown Script
  8. Eyelashes: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler and Maybelline Waterproof Mascara
  9. Eyeliner: MAC Liquid Liner in Boot Black
  10. Lip Balm: Kiehl's Lip Balm #1
  11. Lipstick: Revlon in Wild Orchid
  12. Blotting tissues mid-day: Bobbi Brown
I've been hoping to try the Smashbox Primer and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (which I wore for my wedding and loved). 

....and moving on to a more important topic....

It's MICHELE'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday to one of my dearest, nearest, loveliest friends, I love you!  And get ready for an awesome Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday! ;)

Michele in the middle!

  1. I think you need to help me redo my wardrobe and take me m/u shopping! I've been looking for some new m/u so I can't wait to try the blush and eyeshadows. I love the GA foundation - it gives you that natural glow without looking sparkly.
