The search for makeup

I have been on the look out for a new makeup company. I have been using a mix of Cover Girl and Mary Kay. I have some issues with both companies…and have been wanting to switch for quite a while.

The trouble is that I have sensitive skin. Changing makeup is a slow grueling process. I can only try one product at a time. Testing each one for a week or more.

Beyond the skin issue I have other requirements. I look for animal testing, ease of purchase, and value for cost.

The HUGE issue I have with Cover Girl, is animal testing. I find it disgusting and unnecessary to test on animals. I cannot support a company that harms animals.


I don't want to use Mary Kay anymore, because I don't have a great relationship with my Mary Kay agent. I like being able to pick up makeup while shopping for other things.


I have also  been experimenting with different make-up techniques. I have found a lot of great tips on Keiko Lynn's blog.

Her tutorial on cat-eye  makeup was very helpful. Based on her recommendation I purchased a cream eye liner and an egonomic liner brush. The brush works like a charm! I love it, so easy to use.

I have been trying out;

I like the black so much I ended up buying more colors!

I also discovered the E.L.F. 100 color eyeshadow palette.

 I love it! It has a fantastic selection of colors. The best part is that its only $10.00!
