Cosmetics

I get so excited when I order something online and I know I'm going to receive a package! I'm tired of getting junk mail and bills. Bills?!?! Who needs to pay bills? Why do I need electricity?!?! It's always nice to receive "surprises" in the mail besides those "other" things/bills.

The older that I get the more I find myself really trying protect my skin. I remember when I was a teenager and even early 20's, I used to go to tanning beds (Palm Beach Tan, anybody?) and during beach trips I would lather myself up with tanning oils and lay out in the sun for hours!! My mom, of course, would lecture me about this and how I should put sunscreen on and I would regret this when I got older. Oh mom.... hush and let me enjoy my cocoa-buttered tan!  <eye roll> Moms!!!

Now a days, I don't leave the house without sunscreen on my face and neck. And if I know I'm running in a sleeveless shirt, I lather those shoulders up! If I go to the beach I usually wear a fabulous sun hat and big glasses. Don't get me wrong I still tan. Meaning that I am one of those people that can tan very easily! It's a double-edge sword in my opinion. If I didn't wear sunscreen I'd be running around Cali looking like Snooki!

I even try to use make-up with sunscreen in it. Which is why I buy RAE Cosmetics. Not only does it have coverage but it's great for us gals that tend to be more active and sweat! I have worked out in this make-up, many times, and it does not smear or run! And it doesn't break my skin out if I do that. I will be completely sweaty and it's still there!!!

Remember when we used to use face make-up from the grocery store? Like Maybelline, Cover Girl, etc. Not anymore! I have to worry about hiding some old lady wrinkles and I have to try to get rid of them! I will gladly spend more money on a quality product. Don't get me wrong, I still use Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express mascara!

(Side note: My best friend, April, trains the creator, CEO, Rochelle Rae. And Rochelle is gorgeous and super nice!! Also, this is not a paid endorsement. I just love the products!)

I actually forgot to stock up on my make-up before I left Austin so I had to order online. Which means I will be getting a package in the mail :) It's the little things with me!!!

Well, that's all I got for you! Sorry this post wasn't as interesting as others. But here's a Madeleine picture to make up for it .
