When I was at Sephora in DC with my girlfriends, both of them ended up buying this Get Started Kit from Bare Escentuals. The SA that worked on both of them did an amazing job of showing off how great the mineral foundation can be, and I am still amazed when I see them use it on a daily basis. One of my friends with a few skin issues even noticed a general clearing up. I have not used it myself, although I have tried one or two drugstore mineral makeup brands. I do want to give it a try, though. And it came to my attention that Sephora was doing a free shipping with the purchase of one of the kits. It’s a great time to give it a try and see if the fuss is something that is worth it or not. I like the fact that there is an instructional DVD – in fact, I made my friends promise to let me borrow it, just in the name of research! Anyway, pop over to Sephora and see what all the hype is about.
Looking for Jeans that Fit?
I found the most interesting site while browsing sk*rt today! Zafu.com asks you several questions and recommends jeans based on your answers. I was quite impressed with the results I got – almost all were jeans that I had never tried before, but are on my list now. Including Michael Kors Signature jeans, which I’ve been dying to try on anyway. Sign up for an account, and save all the goodness, because not only do they do jeans and plus size jeans (awesome!), but pants and bras are coming soon.
International Dress Up Day
Gala over at galadarling.com has this fantastic idea where once a month, she organizes an International Dress Up Day (a.k.a. i.d.u.d), and this time I’m going to participate. I don’t know if I’ll take pictures of myself, but how much fun would it be to dress up as your alter-ego? I’m not even sure what my alter-ego is, but I simply must figure it out! Go on over there, read about it, and join in!
An Excellent Idea…
Regardless of my obsession over the blue and white Gap dress earlier this season, it is this dress that has turned out to be my absolute favorite. Every time I wear it, I get the most amazing compliments. I think part of it is that people aren’t used to seeing bright jewel tones, but I am so glad they are back in style. I always looked good in them, and we haven’t seen them since the late 80′s. Paired with a fun patent blue platform sandal from Nine West, I look pretty hot, if I may say so myself.
At any rate, the best dress of the summer is now on sale over at Gap (along with everything else). They only have L, XL, and XXL left, but if you’re lucky enough to be one of those sizes, you can score it for less than $50. Enjoy!
