The vertical detailing and the color are also excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42157 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:06:20 +0000 Alecia 42157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have anything to add about the mineral makeup. The sweater is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42153 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:03:59 +0000 tarzy 42153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San- I also wanted to say I have a feeling we like the same colors. I love that wine/berry/purple family, and am starting to wear greens, like teal, too! Do you have very fair skin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42152 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:01:18 +0000 tarzy 42152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - love that sweater. What a great color! You have such a cute figure!</p> <p>I tried mineral makeup and it didn't work for me. My skin is getting drier, but I also sometimes break out (Still! At this age!) I've switched to a basic non-comedogenic oil-free foundation from Neutrogena. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42137 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:27:19 +0000 Angie 42137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, San! This jumper is perfect for your lifestyle. It came in a teal too. You’d have loved that shade as well. </p> <p>Stilla does a superb cream blush. It’s my favourite if you’re interested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42076 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:26:09 +0000 shell 42076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>just wanted to chime in that the sweater looks brilliant! such a great color for you and it looks so cozy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42067 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:54:45 +0000 Violet 42067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous sweater! I LOVE the color. Glad to hear you got your car back. We haven't had any major snow yet where I live in Ohio and I am totally okay with that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42066 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:51:24 +0000 Anonymous 42066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes the cozyness was especially appreciated because Sunday when I wore the sweater we had a surprise snow storm over here on the Kitsap Penninsula. We got about 4" in a couple of hours. I had to have my husband save me off the slippery street because he has 4 wheel drive. We left my car at the park and ride until yesterday when the snow all melted away. Crazy weather!<br /> I returned the Burberry coat a while ago. The color was so perfect but the fit was off, darn it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42065 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:48:14 +0000 judy 42065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, your sweater looks fabulous on you! (It reminds me of the same color as that Burberry coat you got a while ago). It's very figure flattering on you! Isn't it great to have a cozy one about this time of year? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42052 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:59:47 +0000 BLB 42052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use and love mineral makeup. I get mine from Everyday Minerals (everydayminerals.com) which is an awesome all-natural woman-owned business. They will send you a sample kit of 4 foundation powders of your choice for free. They have about a zillion shades and finishes of eye shadow, blush, finishing powder, bronzer etc. too. The price is unbeatable. I like the Natural Reflections finishing powders because they give sun protection. I often wear just that without any other base. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42041 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 42041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies for all the help and feedback.<br /> Kellygirl, I hope you love your freckles. Freckles are so good and earthy, I love them. I know my niece who has them always worries about covering them up. When I see pictures of models in magazines with freckles I think they are beautiful and sunkissed.<br /> Ana, I did buy the Nars Orgasm in the convertible lip and cheek color after reading about it on your post. I think the color of it is beautiful but in my closeup magnifying mirror it looks like it has glitter in it which I can't stand. You know how glitter ends up everywhere.<br /> I feel like I should try a tinted moisturizer. I have in my stash right now the Lancome Absolute Replenishing Cream makeup, and the Clarins True Radiance Foundation Light Reflecting Oil Free foundation. The latter one I feel makes me look ghostly and the first one seems a bit heavy, but these are both good products,maybe I should mix them.<br /> I have always used powder blush but lately it seems to look fake so I wanted to try a cream blush. I bought one from MAC called BRIT WIT, I'm not crazy about the cold color. The Nars is a warmer color, but those darn glitters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42040 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:49:47 +0000 Ana 42040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, about cream blush--I've tried Nars convertible lip and cheek color in Orgasm, and it's nice. It's a bit too shiny on me, so I use the powder instead, but I think it might be great for you, especially if you suffer from dry skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42034 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:28:42 +0000 Nicole 42034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweater San! You look great! </p> <p>I tried a few different mineral foundations. I had never worn foundation prior, so I don't have anything to compare. The first one I tried was by Elizabeth Grady. I liked it at first. But then I noticed my skin was looking awfully flaky. I've stopped using foundation all together now. I have also switched over to a cream blush. My skin is just so freaking dry. Oh, I have switched to a tinted moisurizer though. That definitely seems to help. And I load on night cream at night. I pay special attention to my nose--around my nostrils. That is where I tend to get flaky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42033 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:27:55 +0000 Tanya 42033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful sweater San! I love everything about it: the cowl, the color, the length, the way it fits you. Truly great.</p> <p>I have do admit that mineral makeup just doesn't work for me at all - it makes me look all ashy and chalky - maybe beacuse I am very pale. I use Lancome's Color Ideal foundation and really like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42031 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:12:14 +0000 Anonymous 42031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweater, San. I've started wearing a mineral powder (Mary Kay) over sunblock with great success and no problems showing wrinkles. This product is matte which I like because the sun block leaves a shiny finish. In the past any powder has made my face break out, but I've had no breakouts with this. It covers enough that I don't wear a foundation for daytime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42028 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:52:08 +0000 Patience 42028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, I love this sweater on you. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it's coziness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42024 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:09:06 +0000 kellygirl 42024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific sweater and such a delicious color, too! I love the cowl neckline on you and you're absolutely right--the length is perfect. I managed a couple Nordstrom sweaters in the after Christmas sale too--a cardigan and a vest-ish cardi.</p> <p>I used MAC (studio fix, I think) for years because it was the only foundation that really seemed to cover my freckles. Rrecently, I switched to Bare Minerals. Bare Min is a lighter coverage so it took a bit of getting used to for me. I'm not sure that it is the greatest foundation for me but it is very natural (I'm getting used to seeing my freckles.) I've found that using the base (Prime Time) helps minimize the fine lines around my eyes and mouth (but that adds another $20 to the cost of the foundation for me.) If you haven't tried the base--you could always ask for a sample. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42022 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:35:12 +0000 julijuli 42022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi San - I love your new sweater - great color! I use Jane Iredale's mineral makeup (have for several years) and I love it. It's a compact powder formulation - not loose. It smoothes out my skin and makes it look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42020 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:16:45 +0000 Laura 42020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color of the sweater, and it fits you perfectly and looks so cozy. So glad you got a new camera under the tree so we can see you more often :)</p> <p>Like Ana, I wear Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but the regular version, not the oil-free. It's light, and then I put a bit of loose translucent powder over it in case it's a bit shiny. I'll be interested to see what people have to say about mineral make-up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42008 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:23:57 +0000 susan 42008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San-Your new sweater is very pretty and it sounds like you will get a lot of pleasure from wearing it. Enjoy! </p> <p>I have been wearing Bare Escentials-don't think I spelled that correctly, sorry-for a couple of years now and I really like it. It feels very natural and I really like the finishing powder. I don't notice any problems with it and my wrinkles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-42005 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:12:54 +0000 Ana 42005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi San! When I opened the photo of the sweater, I really liked it, and I thought that it looks very much to be your style. What a great purchase!</p> <p>My mom has worn mineral makeup, and she likes it, but she switched from Bare Minerals to the Revlon mineral makeup because the Bare Minerals has a sort of shimmery highlight in it that she thought made her look a bit crepey. The Revlon is matte though. I used to wear it, and liked it a lot. I switched to a tinted moisturizer--Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer, because I need a multi-tasking foundation that is also light. I like it, and the coverage is surprisingly good for a moisturizer/foundation combination, but it doesn't feel heavy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-41977 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:46:04 +0000 Inge 41977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cowlneck and the colour on you San, yum! Your two other purchases sound promising too. How fun that you have a new camera (I know you've been wanting to replace the old one for a while now). Looking forward to more pictures in 2009!</p> <p>I haven't tried mineral make-up yet myself, so I'm no help there, but I'm curious to hear others' opinions on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-41975 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:54:52 +0000 dee2do 41975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giorgio Armani foundation is kind of exclusive. I've gotten it at Saks, some Nordys carries it, and GA has their own stores. I don't think I've ever seen anywhere else. It's kind of expensive but I know that Saks is pretty generous with samples if you wanted to try it first. As for Nars, I haven't tried the cream blush. I use their balanced foundation, powder blush, and the powder bronzer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-41973 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:44:08 +0000 Anonymous 41973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deedo for the recommendation, I'll look for those foundations. I didn't know that Giorgio Armani had make up. Do you like the Nars cream blush? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-41971 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:38:37 +0000 dee2do 41971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice sweater, San. the length is perfect for you. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of the other items.<br /> I tried mineral makeup but it didn't work for me. I do have a friend with alot of wrinkles and she uses it and it looks good on her.</p> <p>I personally like Nars balanced foundation and Giorgio Armani. My relative has been working longtime in the cosmetic industry and recommended these two brands and I like them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sans-after-christmas-sale-sweater#post-41962 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:33:49 +0000 Anonymous 41962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/SJBD-2008/newsweater.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i477.photobucket.com/al.....weater.jpg</a></p> <p>Here is one of my after Christmas sale purchases, a Classiques entier merino wool sweater, discounted from $148.00 down to $78.90.<br /> I loved wearing this sweater because it is so soft and the cowl neck kept the back of my neck cozy all day. I felt totally me in this sweater. I love the color and the weight of the knit, and also the length, so I was pleased with my purchase.<br /> I also bought a couple of other great things I will have to get photos of with my new Christmas camera. One is a berry colored jacket with a tie at the waist and also a carmel colored boyfriend type sweater with a tie waist.<br /> I went to Sephora for the first time and am trying the mineral makeup. I don't know yet if it is a good choice for aging skin. I'm on the fence about it and will try it for a week. Do any of you have an opinion on mineral foundation on wrinkles? </p>
