Although this realization of my impending thirties has made me acutely aware that I should probably stop using a baby wipe to wash my face on the random nights I think to remove my makeup. I'm gonna end up with wrinkly, damaged skin and it'll be all my fault. So, this has prompted me to start a 'beauty regimen.' I bought some Olay stuff earlier this year. I used some Loreal stuff I liked. I decided to give the Mary Kay TimeWise line a whirl, which is what I'm using now. So far I'm liking it. Even more now that I found they have a "Virtual Makeover" tool that is so much fun I may not go downstairs and get my dishes done this evening.
As fun as putting crazy color eye shadows on my virtual face was (the colorful lipstick options just looked ridiculous), I found the hair style thing way more fun than the make up capabilities . . . although it makes me a little sad I can't grow my hair out (my hair grows to my shoulders and stops. I have NEVER had it longer than that in my entire life.)
Any favorites? :-)
So, make up and skin care lines . . . what do you use? Anything specific? Or do you have an entire drawer full of random stuff (including dozens of samples from the "What a Woman Wants" fair) that you randomly pull stuff out of and slather on your face, hoping it isn't expired or doesn't cause adverse skin reactions? Or is that just me?
Edited to add: Greg was watching me upload the pictures, when he commented, "You really should grow your hair long like that." Yeah, thanks dude. You know, for reminding me how much you prefer long hair to short when we've discussed at length (so to speak) that my hair won't grow out. Wanna tell me how much more attractive blue eyes are then brown?
Just giving you a hard time, hon. You know I love you and totally forgive any dumb thing you say that you immediately wish you could take back. (After I've mentioned it a few times, used it against you and pouted for a awhile.) ;-)

I like the last one the best! I have no advice on a make-up routine, except sunscreen! Sunscreen will save you from being a wrinkly mess!
I actually really like the top middle one, which is pretty similar to how you have it anyways! I want to do that!
Greg SAYS he wants you to grow your hair out but if you did he would just be completely weirded out by how much you look like one of your longer-haired sisters. Remember, we must all maintain our separate and distinct hair styles or it throws people off (remember mini-Hilary when I cut my hair off?).
I am now using Wexler product (usually) and ever since being told each night you don't wash your face you age 10 days, I've only missed 6 nights so my face is now 2 months older than it could have been. . .
I really like your hair now actually. It is very flattering for you.
I use the MK Time Wise as well. I LOVE it. It cleared my acne up better than anything else I have tried and it keeps my skin from getting too oily during the day.
RE Talina: Does that count if I wash my face every morning, but almost never at night?
Just to add my two cents as far as beauty routines. Go basic is what I say. I often get compliments on my skin and all I use is Noxema to wash my face and Aveeno lotion after. Same thing every single day. As far as the hair goes do it all. Hair is so versatile, it's one thing you can truly have fun with because it ALWAYS grows back.
I also use the Mary Kay Time Wise. Just pay attention to your skin type. Olay products work best if you have really dry skin, but not so good for oily or mildly dry skin. Like Jessi said, make sure your moisturizer has sunscreen in it!
I like your hair the way it is now, too.
I like the bottom right. I can't believe you are turning 30 this year. Wow, time flies. But 30's aren't all bad. I have enjoyed almost 2 years of them. Have fun doing your dishes. Mine are still in the sink from yesterday. Horray!!!
