I'm not.
As I am stuck inside for the wearin' o' the green, I've decided to daydream a bit, and pretend that it's already Summer, and I am on vacation somewhere beautiful and warm with a pool. Unfortunately, that reminds me that swimsuit season is just around the corner, and I am in no way ready for it. I am counting calories, excercising more, and doing what I can to make my cellulite less visible, so there's hope (though, for my feelings on hope, see yesterday's post), but I'm not jumping into a teeny bikini anytime soon.
Of course, I'm not opposed to something a little more vintage-inspired, that would cover what was needed and let the curves shine through. Something like this, perhaps:

Don't forget, folks, you have to cover up your skin, too!

Believe it or not, I've used all of this stuff before. The powder was a little too dark for me (I'm kin to Casper the Friendly Ghost), but it has a lovely matte finish, and will work well over a Summer (sunless) tan. The lip balm is a staple of mine. It moisturizes amazingly well, feels like butter, and makes your lips look gorgeous. The lip shine feels awesome, isn't sticky (yay!) and smells scrumptious. The face brush is soft and blends well, and the lip brush is...well, a lip brush. It doesn't shed, but that's pretty much all I can say about it. The kit runs $16, and is well worth twice that price.
I hope everyone finds a pot of gold!
If you do, feel free to send me two tickets to Aruba. I'll be your best friend forever. Please? Pretty, pretty please?
gaah, swimsuit season. that is about to happen, isn't it? i got my j.crew swim supplement in the mail the other day, and they had tons of gorgeous vintage suits. 'course, they were all $150. i mean, really. who's going to put something that expensive near sunscreen and water? makes no sense...
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a hearty "Amen!" from the congregation. A $150 suit ain't happening.
