These are the blushes I've pulled out of my stash and have been using this month and loving all over again:

| Top Row: MAC Dainty, Tarina Tarantino Parasol, Chantecaille Wind Bottom Row: MUFE Sculpting Blush #12, MAC Salsa Rose |

MAC Dainty- I used to kind of hate MAC Dainty as it's rather sparkly. But if I tap my brush off and buff it in, I see no offending sparkles on my cheeks and just a luminous peachy pink glow. Now I understand why my daughter likes it so much!
Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Parasol- If you haven't tried out anything from Tarina Tarantino, you are seriously missing out! Parasol is my favourite blush in the line and it's a pretty, coral pink with a beautiful glow. Highly pigmented with awesome staying power, this is one of the best blushes I own.
Chantecaille Wind- I ADORE Chantecaille blushes and this neutral pink with peach tones gives the most natural blush on me-just like being outside in the wind! It's matte, but somehow Chantecaille blushes make you glow and brighten up your face.
Make Up Forever Sculpting Blush #12- Sometimes this is called Matte Rosewood which describes the shade perfectly. I used to sell this shade every shift I worked at Sephora because after I'd put it on someone, the transformation was amazing. It magically sculpts your cheekbones and gives you a gorgeous natural glow even though it's matte. This blush lasts and lasts too and I'd love to get more of them.
MAC Salsa Rose- This is a MAC Pro colour, and one of the most pigmented and pretty blushes I have. It's a bright coral rose with a satin finish. You need a light hand with it, but it gives such a gorgeous flush when paired with bronzer-just like you've spent the day at the beach. And, who doesn't want to look like that in February?
That's it!!
Good news! I bought a treadmill! As you may remember, I used an iPhone App to learn how to run 30 minutes straight over the summer and loved it. And then winter happened here. It's just so hard to keep running outside where I live, so we bit the bullet and bought a treadmill! Yay! So I'm starting to re-learn to run again. I don't have to start from scratch again, but I'm no where near being able to run 30 minutes straight anymore. But I'll get there again!
So is anybody doing something special for Leap Day? I wish I was at Disneyland today because the park is open for 24 hours straight! I'd love to be riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 3 AM!!
