I had to watch Top Gun last night. I don't know why. I had to see Maverick, aka Tom Cruise. I remember being a young girl and wanting to be Kelly McGillis in a bomber jacket, a restaurant with a jukebox and a cute soldier singing to me "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" with his best friend Goose behind him adding harmony vocals. I fell in love with Tom Cruise from this movie, although I'm mixed on my feelings for him right now, I use that "lovin feeling" for products. I'm getting that loving feeling from these products right now:
- C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine. Anyone flavor will do.
- Maryam's Soap Nook Whipped Shea Butter. Maryam always has my skin feenin' for this butter. I am thankful to God that this woman had a child, because my skin would be lacking her genius.
- Trish McEvoy Booster Serum. I had been wanting to try this for a while. After running out of my other serum, I decided to give TM a try. I love how smooth my moisturizer goes on after this, because I know every little boost helps.
- Flirt Cosmetics Squeeze Me Super Shiny Lipgloss in Nectar Fizz. This gold color adds new dimension to a nude lip. Apply to the center for that Kevyn Aucoin 3 dimensional lip. The Radical Raspberry is a great pink for all skin tones. One of my coworkers is fair with light blond hair and it looks good on her too. I can't wait to see what Vanessa will be coming up with in August.
- Tommy Bahama Sets Sail Perfume. This floral is getting me ready for summer.
Mama Dear was a midwife by trade. Yes, she helped bring life into the world. There was a baby always being born at her house because the birthing room was in the home. It's funny, because she was always "done" when she delivered a baby. I mean makeup to the nines and nails always painted underneath her rubber gloves. She constantly kept her hands in water. I wish Gloves in a Bottle had been created then. This moisturizer shields, but it's not greasy. I leave it in my kitchen when I'm cooking because it doesn't cause my knife to jump out of my hand and slice me.
Yesterday was Mama Dear's birthday, so instead of moping, like I really wanted to do, I honored her memory with beautiful red nails courtesy of Essie's Fishnet Stockings, caramel chews, a great meal and a glass of champagne with knowing she was the best grandmother there could ever be. I am who I am because of her. I love and miss her so much. Thanks for always giving me a "loving feeling toward beauty."
To my Georgetown Hoyas, congrats on your win.
May the lipgloss be with you.
