Just a friendly reminder - there's still plenty of time to enter my Tarte Foundation, Concealer & Sigma Brush giveaway.  You can find all the details here.

In my April Favorites post, I included the Josie Maran Fresh Finish Hydrating Liquid Powder and mentioned that I was a fan of quite a few of her products.

Nail Polish of the Day: Zoya's Pandora

Zoya Pandora

 Before I get to all the nail polish goodness, I'd like to remind everyone that there's still plenty of time to enter my Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation/Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer/Sigma F80 giveaway.  You can find all the information here.

Now, back to nail polish...

I do my nails every Monday night.  It's just a little ritual that I have. I like to sit down in front of the television (Monday's a big TV night for me - Bones, Castle, Disappeared on Investigation Discovery... and the guiltiest of guilty pleasures, Secret Life of the American Teenager, a show so wonderfully awful that it never fails to entertain...), sift through all my pretty polishes and go to town.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation, Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer & Sigma Sigmax F80 Giveaway (CLOSED)

Since I never heard from the winner of my Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation, Maracuja Creaseless Concealer & Sigma Sigmax F80 brush in March - and I realize that not everyone knew I was having a giveaway in the first place - I'm going to re-do the entire thing.

And this time around, I'm make sure to post reminders about the giveaway so everyone has a chance to enter before the deadline.

MAC Face and Body Foundation vs. MUFE Face & Body Foundation

MAC Face and Body Foundation vs. Makeup For Ever Face & Body Foundation

Before I get to the main event, I want to apologize for being MIA this week. I had a deadline with a work project this week, which had me scrambling - and stressed to the max.  Fortunately, I finished on time, but I needed a couple of days to recover. 

Now, on to the the important stuff ... makeup.

When the weather turns warm, I generally prefer lightweight face products. These days, that usually means tinted moisturizers or foundations with light to medium coverage since I can't really wear powder foundation on its own now that my skin has become drier.

For a while, I've been wanting to try both MAC Face and Body Foundation and MUFE Face & Body Foundation because they're light, water-based (and water-resistant or -proof) formulas.  At the end of last summer, I had a Sephora gift card so I picked up the MUFE F&B - but I only used it a few times before the cold weather insisted that I use something a little creamier and more moisturizing on my dry skin.
