A Little Bit of Color

As women, we feel that makeup is important, but oh, how I have neglected my body. That previous entry about Dolly was a wake up call. Looking in the mirror, I see that my face has lost it's glow. OK... getting older? change of seasons? Or just plain neglect?! We can be plump, but what about the little things that prove to ourselves that we are worth taking a little bit of time for... or as Loreal would say: Because you are worth it!

Our grocery store had a facial cleanser that my daughter used to use some years back. It is called Glow Get It  by Freeman, a lathering facial gel cleanser, vitalizing with anti-oxidant- Blueberry & Champagne. I have been using it for two days and I can see that my glow is on it's way back! Yay.

                     

Surely, there was no time to file my nails at work yesterday. We get so busy at work that there is never time to take a break. So last night, I forced myself to take time to file my nails. I usually like my nails natural or with a french manicure, but last week, I found a red polish by NYC. It is a limited Xmas holiday edition called "Very Vixen". Oh, so Marilyn! Couldnt find the color online to show you, but this is the bottle. I think it sells for about 95 cents.

 

A woman once told me that she can tell how a person is doing by looking at her hands. If her hands are soft and her nails are nicely trimmed and polished, that means that the woman is doing good in spite of whatever stress she has in her life.

My nails look so pretty! I also bought the NYC Mistletoe Kisses Holiday Lip Gloss Kit in Santa Gloss, a mix of five red lip glosses in a clear little box. I dont know how much they sold for, but NYC cosmetics are pretty cheap. I like to put a clear gloss over my lipsticks and I put it over these as well, because I think that extra gloss makes your lips look more youthful. I especially like the flavored gloss pots, also by NYC. They make your lips so irresistibly kissable! =,) One of my favorite eyeshadow boxes is also by NYC. It is called City Shadows and it comes with three different purple shades, but I would recommend something more neutral to go with the red gloss.

                                     

Yep, I have been living my life in black and white too long. Today, it's time for a little color! Today, I am wearing my black skirt suit, but I am wearing my tapestry tank top and my ruby red and gold jewelry. Yay!

A man once told me that the way he knows if a woman takes care of herself is by looking at her feet. He says a woman who takes care of herself will have soft feet, nicely trimmed nails, and they will be polished.

When I get home today, I will paint my toes, too. =.)
