Perhaps I should have made this picture smaller...
I didn’t even get up till noon today. But since I don’t have work or anything else important to do today that’s pretty typical for me. In fact I’m still in my pajama shirt RIGHT NOW.
Anyway, today is the first Rimmel Challenge: Don’t wear makeup for a day.So look above and you’ll notice my skin is absent of anything other than lotion with SPF 15. Though today it’s probably not necessary since it’s raining like crazy. In Phoenix, Arizona. The Valley of the Sun. So…that’s weird.
Not wearing makeup is fun because now if I decide to take a midday nap with my face down in the pillow I don’t have to worry about what it will do to my mascara (or pillow). So, I’m glad it supports my lazy cat napping ways.
It’s also kind of horrible though since me and my slew of mascaras are attached at the hip and I MISS THEM! Mascara is by far my favorite beauty product, and when once asked what item I would take to a deserted island my knee-jerk response was “mascara!” Then I tried to change my answer to sunscreen or water, but apparently you can’t change your answer in these super serious games. Since the day just began (for me) I’ll have to report back later on more thoughts about going makeup free.
As you can see from the title today, this challenge has also reminded me of this lovely little oldie. And yes, it’s totally an oldie now. Face it, we’re getting old.
My plans for today are as follows (so long as I don’t get washed out by the rain/freaked out driving in the rivers that once were my streets)
- Paint my nails
- Get dressed
- Go shopping! Maybe the mall, Target, American Apparel, wherever…
I know, exciting stuff. I might also read! Ohhhhhh, the thrills don’t stop over here. Now excuse me, I have to find my umbrella and raincoat that hasn’t seen the light of day since 2006.
Question: If you wear makeup, what item would you miss most if you had to go without any makeup for the day?
