Blushing Humbug

Trying the layered dress thing again.
I’m not really a humbug, but I’m afraid that I appear to be one because I lack any holiday “pieces of flair.” I’ll make up for that tomorrow.

P.S. Erin’s flushed cheeks inspired me to find a new blush. I’ve been using Maybelline Dream Mousse in Pink Frosting, but I found that it just wasn’t highly pigmented enough. In order to get the intensity I wanted, I had to use so much product that it was crumbling and falling off my face as I rubbed it in. I had some Lorac blush from a holiday set I ordered a couple of years ago, but I don’t like it because (1) it’s a powder and I prefer cream and (2) the color is all wrong for my complexion! I visited Sephora and switched to Stila Convertible Color in Petunia. Now, that’s the ticket! (I’ve also really liked DuWop’s Blush Therapy in Hug.) With my complexion, the brightest, most sickening pink looks best.
