My sister in law and her hub leave today for Spain! It's a belated honeymoon. I'm so jealous. Have fun, Shanny!
I asked him the story on the color, and he said since Baby is due in May, and emerald is May’s birthstone, he wanted green roses. He called four stores looking for green roses, and the closest he could get was lime green. HA! What a character he is. Very sweet sentiment. We’re going out to dinner and a movie (No Country for Old Men finally) on Saturday night. My cousin & her hubby offered to babysit, so that was totally nice.
I think I told you before about my boss’ wife’s cookie business which is now in full swing! She has a little store downtown Lake Orion called Cookie Delites, and a website now too. Her prices are better than any I’ve found online, and her cookies are damn good. Especially this peanut butter kind she makes with a smooshed mini Snickers inside. Anyway, I had some delivered to Ryan at work. I’ve been tormenting him by implying that I may have ordered him a strip-o-gram or something. He’s been freaking out. Anyway, he liked his ½ dozen chocolate chip and ½ dozen macaroons (his fave), so I’m happy.
What’s the worst beauty mistake you’ve made? Having my hair dyed PLATINUM BLONDE in college. Not a good look for someone with fair skin. I almost disappeared.
What’s your daily skincare regime consist of? Morning: Aveeno baby lotion before makeup. Night: Wash face with Neutrogena bar soap (never found anything else that works as well and DOESN’T make me break out) then Aveeno baby lotion.
What does your daily cosmetics regime consist of?
Benefit Some Kind A Gorgeous Foundation Faker, Maybelline concealer, Clinique double face powder, Maybelline Pinch o' Pink blush, Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Raisin and Petal, Maybelline eyeliner, and Almay mascara, Bobbi Brown lipstick in Mauve. Yes, that’s a lot of makeup! But I don't really look like a hooker when I leave the house (that I know of), I swear.
Favorite Beauty treat? Bath bombs from Venus in Traverse City! We only go up there once a year, so always stock up (honey almond is the best…mmmm). Once, I couldn’t hold out, and I had to order them online.
What’s your favourite beauty store? Sephora! Or Nordstrom’s.
Favorite Budget brand? Maybelline.
Favorite Premium brands? Bobbi Brown
And what about Skin Care: Favorite Premium and Budget brands? Premium: Clinique I guess. Budget: Neutrogena
And Hair Care? Premium: Matrix Amplify—my hair won’t cooperate without it and it smells soooo good! Sometimes, I use Q’s Original Little Sprout baby mousse. It really smells clean and great too. Budget: L’Oreal Kids hair detangler (pear scent!). I use it every day.
What Fragrances do you wear? I have a ton that I trade off—Miss Dior Cherie, Kate Spade, Pink Sugar, Marc Jacobs Blush, etc.
What’s your “every girl must own one” item? A compact mirror. For veggies stuck between front teeth, bats in the cave... that kind of thing.
And finally, best beauty tip? Moisturize your face twice a day every day! Also, there are a ton of self-bronzers that are great nowadays. Mystic Tan is also a great way to sunless tan.
