COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation

I’m all about less is more when it comes to makeup. I don’t’ want people to know that I’m wearing it but sometimes I still need that coverage to even out my skin tone or cover up those little red nasties we get once a month. Or at least I know I get acne from time to time that I just want to hide under a gallon of foundation. The new COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation gives me a lighter, more natural-looking complexion and blends all of those imperfections I find on my face. COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation has a light touch of cucumber instead of heavier synthetics for a silky feeling that still provides flawless coverage.

I was quite happy to hear that Celebrity Makeup Artist, Jake Bailey (whose clients include Katy Perry and Kyra Sedgwick) recommends applying NatureLuxe Silk Foundation with your finger tips for the most natural finish or a flat tipped buffer/kabuki brush for more coverage where needed, because I’m always using my fingers to apply my foundation and was worried I was doing it wrong.

“If you feel you’ve applied a little more than was needed, use a sponge or a kabuki brush to "buff" off any excess product. The buffing creates a seamless "airbrushed" look. NatureLuxe Silk Foundation leaves a dewy finish that glows like real skin which is perfect for a fresh spring look. I recommend complementing it with a little cream blush and a light coral or pink lip.”

I really do enjoy the lightness of the COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation. It’s the first makeup that I feel compares to what I like to buy at department stores for twice the price. So it’s nice to have a foundation that I like at such a great price.

Jake also refers to this make up as a great find for all ages. He notes, “It’s a great foundation for younger skin, but I love to use it on a lot of my over 40 clients because it covers skin imperfections flawlessly without weighing down your skin or settling into fine lines. If I don’t achieve the desired result with one light application I simply add a small amount to the areas that require a little more coverage.”

How to Change a Flat Tire

I’m working with Michelin and Bzzagent on the Michelin Campaign. By spreading the word about Michelin Tires, I have the opportunity to win different prizes. One thing that just caught my eye was an article about how to change a flat tire. I’ve been there, we’ve all been there. How do you handle changing a spare tire?

     1.    Safely pull over: Set your emergency brake and turn on your hazards
     2.    Prepare the tire: Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts
     3.    Jack up your vehicle: Jack until the tire is about six inches off of the
            ground — typically, the jack goes a few inches behind the front tires, or a
            few inches in front of the rear tires (consult your vehicle owner’s manual)
     4.    Remove the flat tire: Remove the lug nuts, then position your hands at 9
            and 3 o’clock on your tire and pull it straight off
     5.    Mount the spare tire: Align the holes on the spare with the threaded bolts
            then replace each lug nut, followed by the lug nut across from it
     6.    Secure the spare tire: Lower your vehicle, then tighten each lug nut
            followed by its opposite
     7.    Put away the tools: Replace the tools and store your flat tire

I find that one of the most difficult aspects of changing a tire is just getting the lug nuts off. Man almighty those things are always on so tight, I used to use my own weight to try to pry them off. Jumping on your crowbar will just cause damage to yourself, the car, or the crowbar itself; more than likely you’ll probably still have a lug nut on your hubcap that will still not come off.

So tell me what you do when you need to change a tire, my husband told me since we have kids that I should just call AAA.
