Hi everyone!! I’m Cheryl, aka TidyMom. I’m a 40-something {stay at home} mom to two beautiful daughters, 22 and 13. We closed a family retail business in July ‘08, since then I became a SAHM and my make-up routine has become much more simplistic/minimal. On my blog TidyMom, I share my passions of baking, photography [...]

Hi! I’m Kristin. I’m a shopping obsessed mom of three and part-time Realtor in North Carolina. I enjoy blogging here at Chic Critique every other Thursday, and you can also find me here.
I love beauty products, but I don’t love spending a lot of money on them. Since I love trying new things, the cosmetics in [...]

If you’ve been a blog reader for any length of time, you’ve probably stumbled across the ol’ “What’s in Your Purse?” meme. I always find things like that interesting — probably because I’m nosy like that — but I think it gives you an interesting glimpse into someone else’s life and daily routine.
So, along those [...]

If you have ever searched for good, organic cosmetics, you probably, like me, have been disappointed in the selection. Either they don’t measure up in the wear ability department or they aren’t actually organic (even though they say they are). Dilemma.

A few months ago I reviewed Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Base mineral foundation.
And, I pretty much fell in love with it. I still stand by that review. The PurePressed Base is foundation perfection.
As I mentioned at that time, the reason I ended up trying the PurePressed Base was because the product I was originally looking for [...]

I found a sample of Clinique’s Even Better SPF 15 foundation in a magazine I was reading and I thought, what makes it better?
Ahem, let me try that again…
Sometimes I think it’s hard to tell if you are going to like something based on a smear of product on a piece of tinfoil, so I [...]

So way back in September, T with Honey told us about her favorite undereye concealer:
“The best product I have found to make me look bright-eyed is being discontinued but I’m going to tell you about it anyway (I never want to look bushy tailed unless I’m going to a costume party). L’Oreal Paris Visible Lift [...]

One of my favorite Spring and Summer make up items is Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. I have to admit I resisted making the move to tinted moisturiser for years because I always felt that tinted moisturizer = naked face. So every morning I mixed up my own concoction of moisturizer and foundation and inevitably got the amount wrong which resulted in wasting expensive foundation. I was with a girlfriend (one of those women who makes looking good year round look effortless) when she had to pop in to purchase Stila’s tinted moisturizer. I was amazed that she used it because her skin always looked so even and glowy and figured she was just one of those lucky cows! I didn’t need to be told twice so I grabbed a bottle and never looked back.

I’ve been a little slow to jump on the mineral makeup bandwagon. The reason is two-fold:
1. I’m super self-conscious of the hyperpigmentation/sun damage on my face. I prefer a liquid foundation with significant coverage — allowing me to pretty much paint myself a perfect complexion each morning. Despite the claims, loose powder mineral foundations don’t [...]
