my favorite nail polishes for spring & summer

i could probably do a part 2 or 3 to this video... i realize i left out a bunch of colors! maybe i'll do another one of these when summer rolls around...

i have been rotating through these colors... changing my polish up every few days. i do give my nails a break in between color changes. i'm enjoying these colors a lot! xoxo Kathleen

FOTD featuring bareMinerals/Bare Escentuals (and a small CVS haul)

so this is what i have planned for March... to use all my bareMinerals / Bare Escentuals makeup. i will not be mixing in any other brands. i think i can do it all 31 days. of course, i probably won't wear makeup all 31 days because i might not be in the mood, but i'll try my best. at least i'm feeling well enough to put makeup on myself again. i've had no energy the past few days because of being sick. i actually had to get out of the house this morning to put money in the bank to cover and overdraft because i paid a credit card using the wrong bank account (thus overdrawing it) and then it started incurring insufficient fund fees ($5/day). i received something in the mail from my bank but never opened it and it didn't dawn on me when i tried to pay for Starbucks with my debit card and it was denied. i thought the magnetic strip was dead. at least it's fixed now. i just feel so dumb for letting that happen.

anyway, i hope you'll enjoy this month's videos. even though i'll be using only Bare Escentuals makeup, you can most likely adopt these looks with what you have in your stash. i'll try to come up with dupes as well to help you along. if you know of anyone who likes Bare Escentuals makeup, please send them my way. i hope they'll like what they see. xoxo Kathleen

tag: nail polish obsession

no more nail polish! LOL okay, i think that'll be it with nail polish videos for a while... i will be getting back into makeup talk soon. i'm slowly getting better... i think it was just a 1day/2day bug. now i just have nagging cough.

i used my webcam to film today's video. i rearranged my iMac and my 2nd monitor on my desk so i can position the webcam to be in front of the window (or by the window). i would really like to film directly in front of the window, but i remember when i did that in the past, i was so washed out. i have way too much junk in my office to be moving heavy things around so i think the webcam is good where it is for now.

oh, BTW, Bare Escentuals JUST released their READY blushes! yes, PRESSED blushes! OMG! they have a preview sale right now on their READY blushes and bronzers... using the code MARCH at checkout, you will get free shipping on the preview items only. so tempting! i might just go to the mall since i have a full punch card ($10 off) that's been burning a hole in my purse! and if you were on the mailing list, you would've gotten an email from them with a link to the preview sale. i don't know if i can link to it here as the link might change per email recipient (not sure). so call your local boutique if you have any questions. this sale is not at ULTA or Sephora... just online or at the free-standing boutiques. xoxo Kathleen
