FOR THE LOVE OF GLOSS

I’m super excited about the last three days of advent calendar goodies, even though only one of them was a traditional beauty product. I’m having so much fun opening up my little gifts each day, and since I’m committed to trying each item so that I can tell all of you about them, I’m able to really appreciate how nice each one is! For example, my day 7 present was a sparkly silver hair tie. Now, in everyday life I only ever use black hair ties, but I’ve been using the silver one at home to give it a proper chance. It’s a nice quality tie that holds hair well and has a nice elastic. It creates and adorable ponytail, actually, and has turned workouts and face-washing sessions into purely glamorous events!

I know some other bloggers are upset about what was behind door number 8, but I, for one, really loved it: girly Benefit sticky notes! Not only are they a great half-size sticky note with a pretty pink-and-white design, they also stick really well to things, without curling up into a little tube like cheapo sticky notes tend to do. These are on my desk at work and I’ve been using them left and right. Love them!

Today’s beauty score was the best one yet: a tube of Dandelion Ultra Plush Lip Gloss. The Dandelion shade is the most flattering peachy-pink, and the gloss itself is silky smooth – no waxy or sticky texture here. I took it to work with me today and kept reapplying throughout the day – it just made me so happy I couldn’t stop smiling when I had it on! I felt like a million bucks all day, and apparently looked it as well – I was told by three different people that I looked cute/pretty/beautiful today! I really can’t say enough good things about this gloss. Quick, go buy one for yourself!
