So the lovely Jenny over at Absolutely Bananas has started a monthly segment on real beauty tips from regular old mamas like myself. AND WHOO DO I HAVE A DOOZY FOR YOU. (with before and after pictures!)

Introducing CARGO One Base. A Concealer that blends out like a foundation.

AND THEY’RE NOT EVEN KIDDING.

Take me freshly bathed.

Scary right? I have hundreds of little red capillaries busted up all over my face from nine months of vomiting while pregnant. My dream has always been to find something out there that covers these little buggers in one step and leaves me mostly make up free. Concealer was always to obvious so I’d have to balance it out with foundation and always ended up looking a little Tammy Faye.

Enter One Base. (cue chorus of ANGELS.)

That is all I have on my face. Honestly! It takes me two minutes. No brushes, no sponges, no intense blending. I could leave the house like this and feel human. Amazing. If I’m feeling really dedicated? Mascara, lip gloss…TA DA!

Thank me later.

Comments off.

How much?

I don’t like to wear makeup, and only do so when I’m leaving the house but I sure love to buy it…

Beautiful without make-up – Glam with it on!
Thanks for the tip!

looks fabulous, i’m going to have to try it out.

Absolutely fabulous! And you, you are just too cute!! I don’t wear make-up much, who has the time? But I can’t live without my Voluminous Water Proof mascara. That’s my beauty must have. I have freckles galore (think Campbell’s soup kid and you’ve got me) This stuff looks like something I’m going to have to check out! Thanks for the tip!

ooooooh. Your before and after pics have SOLD ME! I must go buy some RIGHT NOW!! (I’m a makeup junky, I admit it)

i must have that.

You are killing me. I want to be the pretty blogger. You are too pretty.

Let me see… petite. gorgeous. great hair. amazingly hilarious kid.

I would hate you if I didn’t love you so much.

Wow! That IS amazing!

That looks like something I HAVE TO HAVE!!!!

I already commented on your flickr pics. Sorry. I know I shouldn’t try to get ahead of the class.

I absolutely love AB’s idea! When I get a chance, I’ll get caught up on others’ tips and do one of my one.

Oh this is awesome! I must pick up some. (You have just the most gorgeous eyes, and I say that in a really non-creepy way, I assure you.)

Wow. Asking for this for Christmas!

Oh wow! This is simple enough even for me. Great tip.

I’ve got to get me some of that stuff!! And lookie at you, Ms. Casey. You’ve included a link with your awesome pictures.

Very very good! It’s on my list!

oooh…i LOVE Cargo stuff! their lip gloss rocks!

we used to have a place here in Ottawa where we could buy Cargo, but it’s gone now. but i’m really gonna have to get this stuff…i also have those pesky pregnancy-vomitting-induced busted capillaries, and i don’ like ‘me!

thanks for the tip!

wow. I will be buying that.

Buy where though? Is there a place we can go match freakishly pale skin with the right shade of the gunk?

Oooh nifty..now would that work for women of color..if so I’m all over it.

Wow. I am so checking that out. (And did you know Cargo is a Canadian makeup company? Yep. Just like MAC. You’re welcome, America!)

THANK YOU CASEY!

Oh and another comment… I read your blog daily. I will comment more often. Love and miss you.

It can be found at http://www.sephora.com and I’m sure other places on the net. If you have a Sephora store near you, you can go and try before you buy to get the right shade.

Stop looking so beautiful. Sheesh, looks and wit, too.

You’re killin’ me!

Will definitely have to try that. Thanks for doing the demo too…

Yer hot! SO happy you found something for those buggers. I know they have been bothering you forever! LOVES YOU!

Size 4?! I was a size 4 once.
