Without completely starting a new post, I wanted to "EDIT" this previous post about workout makeup. I know I said I love the Clinique and I really really do. I did find a "drugstore" brand alternative for those of you who don't have a Clinique by you.
It's by Revlon and it's called "ColorStay Active Light Makeup". It claims to be completely sweat-proof and last 16 hours to boot. Last week, I tested it out on the treadmill, I have now hit a a 10 minute mile so figure how much I'm sweating already. The upside- This stuff really is sweat-proof. One wipe of my face towel and NOTHING came off. Nothing I tell you. Totally worth every penny. The down-side? I need 2 different colors to match my skin tone. So at the end of the day, the Clinique is cheaper for me.
If you sweat a lot, the Revlon is for you!
Oh my beauties,
It's been so long and I really do apologize, there is really no excuse for my lack of posts.
Well, I do have one excuse. Lately, the Mooch and I have been Gymmin' it pretty hard core so that we can look decent in bathing suits this summer so that has been taking up so much of my time. I think I just made up that word "gymmin". Sounds catchy huh?
Ok back to my post.......speaking of working out, when the Mooch and I joined the gym I literally could care less about how I looked. Until one day I looked at myself in the mirror after my workout and I nearly scared myself.
What I saw looking back was not me. This girl looking back at me looked tired and pale. Now I'm not one of those girls who walk on the treadmill while sipping a Starbucks Frappuccino (TRUE STORY, there is a girl at my gym that does this), I'm the girl that is running her ass off sweating like a pig. But that tired and beaten girl was about to change.
I realized while, I don't have to put on the false eyelashes and lip gloss I can try to look presentable at the gym.
My normal foundation was not working as most of it was wiped off the towel at the end of my workout, so I did a little searching.
I read up that Clinique has a foundation that is water-resistant so I thought I would give it a try.
What it is called is "Work-Out Makeup All Day Wear". Wow, Foundation with the word "work-out" in it, it's for me.
First off, it feels very light, like I have nothing on at all, which is good because with summer around the corner, I need something that feels like nothing. That didn't really make sense, but whatever.
Today was officially my first day using this while running. Obviously I didn't think it was going to stay on my face throughout my run, but there was noticeably MUCH LESS makeup on the towel today than other days.
I think Clinique has turned me on to something new and great!
If you're interested, you can buy it here, only $20.50
If you do buy it and try it, I'll be curious to see how it works for you!
That's all for now, I'll try to post on a daily
I remain yours,
