GiGi Sugar Bare Microwave Formula

Easy wash off, not very effective

I bought this after using the Gigi Beeswax because that was super hard to clean up and the Sugar wax is water soluble. Unfortunately, it was too watery and didn't still well to the strips. I think the trick is to not microwave it for too long so that it doesn't get too hot - but if it's not hot enough it also won't work at all...you really have to have the perfect temp with this wax for it to work effectively. It got the job done for my upper lip but for anything else, it was pretty much useless. The only good thing is that it's really easy to wash off.

BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15

Great for everyday foundation

I've been using Bare Minerals for a few years now and it's the perfect foundation for everyday use. My skin is really sensitive and is prone to breakouts with heavy products - this foundation is light and lets my skin breathe throughout the day, while still providing enough coverage. The warmth bronzer is perfect for providing enough tint to give you a hint of a glow without looking too orange (be cautious to only use a little). The best thing is one purchase will last 6+ months. The one downside is that I don't find it to be the the best for photos, as it doesn't provide enough coverage, but for everyday use it's perfect.
