I use just a tiny bit of warmth mixed in my glee or just as a all over face brightener. It's way too dark for me to use otherwise. I still just have my one brush too...I can't afford the others! I just wash my brush about every two weeks with shampoo. I thought I wasted my money with the BE, until around week 3, it will take awhile for you to get the hang of it. Once you do, you will never go back to the regular cream or liquid foundations.
Did you get all of the shopping done for the girls?

Next time I volunteer to hand paint and letter 40 Hospice Christmas cards, prep and paint 25 Kindergarten party ornaments and prepare 25 Birthday party goodie bags....shoot me... :-)

Gayle-Are you done already? I'm tired just hearing about it. I'm sure they are all beautiful!

Dee-My prayers are being sent your way.
