Today's post is different in two ways. Firstly, it's later than normal for me to post it. I, uh, kind of got caught up in the Shoes & Accessories Hunt. OMG, there are soooo many stores participating. The items are free. And HELLO, shoes. Need I say more really? Didn't think so. Secondly, I am using a shot of me that is more close up. I try to allow you to see both the skin, eyes, hair, and the complete outfit right down to my toes, so that you get the full effect I was going for and hey...I LOVE to read blogs, see some things I might not have otherwise. So, that is my usual m.o., but today, today ladies and gents, the skin is the star. I HAD to show a closer view of this impeccable, stunning, glorious skin. Yes, I like it. I received a gift from &Bean and liked the skin, but was thrown by the dual toned lips. Wasn't something I could really pull off as my everyday, hunting, shopping, look. So, I went to the &Bean store and looked around. It's quaint. And the way they display the skin choices is really cute. Each face is in a flower. I know, little things please me. So, I purchased this skin (and let's be honest, I've purchased a lot lately and will do so again when lindens allow). I put it on, and could not stop staring at myself. Like, literally camming to look at my face. It is so smooth and dewy and natural. I'm not a heavily made-up look type of gal for everyday, so it's really just what I like for an everyday look. And youthful. Some skins look more mature to me. Nothing wrong with that and some times in some situations I don't want to look too young. But with this skin, I found myself beautiful. And that friends is worth any amount of money.
