So there you have my makeup routine on most days.
P.S. I usually do my makeup in the bathroom and not at the dining room table but for filming purposes it was easier to sit at the table.
P.P.S. Yes my bathroom counter is an ugly shade of pink. So is the shower. One day we will remodel it. Today is not that day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
Your turn….

Too funny! I was going to be really impressed if you had managed to fully make your self up with two children surrounding you!
Ha! I am always impressed to if I walk out the door with more than chapstick on.

Love that you have TONS of amazing name brand make-up and you just use chapstick. Go fig. Monkey and Monster interruptions were the best
Lauren Weber recently posted..Lessons From Lemonade
I have so many different shades of eyeshadow it’s not even funny. And I keep buying more. I hope it never goes bad.
I’ll be watching all the vlogs all night long. This is going to be a fun link up, I can tell already!
Miel et Lait recently posted..Why I don’t vlog
It is so much fun to watch the vlogs. Adds something different to blogging.
Your daughter(s) did a great job! I say daughter(s) because I suspect the oldest was acting like a pro, while the youngest was probably being…well, a baby!
This was great! I think you need an extra set of arms. I can loan you mine for a few years. I’d welcome not having to drag them around.
Sandra recently posted..This is what bloggers do on Saturday nightno- really- they do!
My oldest put on her best acting skills for this one. My youngest though is insane all the time. If you lend me your arms maybe I can actually put on more than just chapstick in the mornings.
YAY! I love MAC. Even more so? The fact that a good girlfriend of mine is a makeup artist and gets it for me at 40% off!
Cute vlog… I’m off to do mine!

tracy recently posted..I am wearing pants today
Haha…notice I only had stuff for my eyes and my lips. Those are the only things I know how to use.
You are such a skilled movie maker! I am genuinely impressed!
PS- Compared to me, your routine is so much more organized. And all I have is a dog.
Miel et Lait recently posted..Why I don’t vlog
Thanks!
I have 2 dogs too who get in the way of my makeup process also. So many distractions so little time.

Nice job. You have lots of swaggy cool makeup, but doesn’t look like the girls let you use it, lol. The chapstick is all you need, you have gorgeous skin!
Theresa recently posted..Why doesn’t Momma Vlog
If the girls had their way they would take all my makeup. Luckily I’m still bigger than them. For now.

Your oldest daughter pretending to put the make-up on in the background is awesome. I think you have a little actress on your hands there. She’s definitely good at the drama.
Funny video and LOVE the kiddo participation!!
She loves making videos, I always find ones that she made on my phone.

OMG! That was hilarious! I love it! Your girls are adorable & your oldest is certainly going to be the star of her own blog one day, I can see it now!
Heather @ Life as we know it… recently posted..Vlog Talk 2
Ha! She is already trying to take over my blog. I let her write a post one time and she talks about it all the time and keeps trying to convince me to let her write more.
That was so funny! I’m really enjoying your vlogs and I’m wishing I had a sexy voice like yours. Mine is too high pitched. Sometimes, when I answer the phone, people even confuse me with my 11 year old daughter. If I had a sultry voice like yours, perhaps I’d vlog all the time!
Christi recently posted..Liar- Liar- Pants on Fire
Thanks! It’s funny to hear you say that about my voice because when I watch my vlogs I hate the way I sound.
Your girls are hilarious! You have such a glorious makeup collection! I am jealous… even though I wouldn’t know what to do with it
I love your vlogs!
And this week I couldn’t get the linky button thing to work

Love it! Just like my make up routine. My 3 yo daughter is watching with me and she wants to watch it again and again. Maybe you could get a Nick jr spot??
I had a feeling your makeup routine would be similar to mine. Except you have more kids in the mix. I don’t know if I can get a spot on Nick Jr but I definitely can take advantage of my YouTube channel.
Hehe! Well you are so beautiful that you don’t need much makeup…but I am always happy to “meet” a fellow makeup addict such as myself
Haha…I do love makeup but sadly I never have time to put much on.
Hahaha! Your kids are scrumptious
Ps. I need a makeup overhaul.

I am not a morning person so there is no way I can wake up early to do my makeup. Maybe I should do it at night before I go to sleep….

my boys like my makeup. Especially the bronzer. I’m not gonna tell them no – they look good in it!

Putting on makeup or dressing up is impossible with children close.
Those children – adorable and I want to hug them

Almost anything is impossible with children around unless you have some sort of electronic device to keep them occupied.

So funny! I can relate! Only I usually try to lock my kids out when I’m getting ready in the morning. Unfortunately, 2 out of my 4 kids can still get in and usually the entire herd follows.
Grumpy Grateful Mom recently posted..The Wasp Whisperer
I’ve tried locking them out too except my oldest can get in and then the little one comes in followed by both dogs.
Very fun! I’m impressed that you’re able to use as much make-up as you do with the kids in the background! I love mac make-up, too. I’m still working up my nerve to do a vlog….
Anne recently posted..Smoky
The makeup is really just for decoration on the counter lately. The only thing that really gets used is the chapstick.
Twitter: rustilyn
says:
loved it – your makeup collection rocks (not that I’d get much more use of out it if I had a similar collection)… how sad though that it sits alone and neglected..
your girls are adorable
loved it!
Rusti recently posted..making the move to WordPress
Maybe one day when the children are older I will get to use it again. Hopefully it’s not all expired by then.
Adorable!!!It’s exactly how my make up experience goes too. Thats why Ive adopted the au natural look:)
Truthful Mommy recently posted..Jessica Gottlieb The Truth About Motherhood is that You Lie A lot
I rock the au natural look all the time now.
Hey there. A total newbie to your blog and the whole Vlog talk. I linked up though I don’t think I had the prompt right.. I signed up so I’ll be one the ball next week.. LOL.
Love your blog. Looking forward to following along!
Thanks for joining us for VlogTalk. It’s okay if you didn’t have the prompt right, it’s your first time. Hope you will continue to join us.

Wow, that’s an impressive makeup collection! If MAC ever sees how many products you’ve bought from them, they’ll probably make you an endorser. Hopefully, you can use your MACs someday soon, instead of just chapstick!
The Reason You Come recently posted..Smoke and Redemption
I hope to use them all too and the picture cut off the rest of my makeup. I really do have a lot it seems.
Twitter: beeswithhoney
says:
You never look like you’re ever wearing make-up. Miss O Natural, I’ve always thought. You’re make-up routine though sounds and looks a lot like mine…the being distracted by the kids part mostly!
I’m usually not wearing more than chapstick. Sometimes I put on some eye shadow but that’s about it. Nothing on my face.
Twitter: PatchOfBlue724
says:
LOL! I loved this. This is exactly why it takes me hours to get out of the house. It’s “mommy, look, mommy, look!” and a two yr old hugging my leg, pulling my shirt, as I drag myself from room to room.
The kids make it so hard to get ready sometimes.
Love that the kids make a guest appearance again.
Do you really own all those MAC eye shadows?! If so, then I REALLY need an eye make-up application lesson from you.
Tonya recently posted..In Blogapocalypse Recovery Mode
That was only some of the eye shadow I own. The rest was cut off in the video.

MAC does rule. I just went there today and bought 2 new eye shadows.

That was hilarious. At least your kids think enough to call you by your name “Mother” – my name is “Justin took my headband” and “I’m Firsty”.
Ha! Those are my names sometimes too, well except for the word Justin. I don’t have boys.
Twitter: LittleMsP
says:
She’s having way to much fun bouncing and saying Mother over and over…Sadly that’s the reason I wear little make up. Lip Gloss/Stain and pinch of cheeks for everyday. Only add eye shadow for special outings.
Paulette recently posted..Writers Workshop Table Dancing Toddler Style
I would like to wear makeup everyday but it’s hard to get ready with children whining and screaming while trying to put it on.
