Monday

Pink merino v-neck from J. Crew, white ribbed tank from J. Crew, black wool blend coin-pocket trousers from Ann Taylor Loft, black city boots from Enzo, silver dangle earrings from Nordstrom, silver cuff bracelet.

Hair is on it's third day, blown dry from the shower but not washed. This weather is horrible – so cold and so dry. I am trying to hold onto whatever natural oils my body is producing. My hands are rough and scaly though I exfoliate and moisturize. My toes have cracked and bled though I lotion up and wear socks. My scalp and neck is itchy and getting red welts. The winter is horrible for me – my allergies are at their worst (nasal and skin) and I get ridiculously dry. I don't know what I would do without The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector – I use it on my hands, feet, elbows, knees, lips and weird super dry patches on my legs. It doesn't hurt and I think it really heals. The smell is not my favorite, but it's worth it for the results (no cracking knuckles and feet that can still handle heels without crying).

Makeup is L'Oreal True Match foundation in C3, concealer in W4-5, a bit of Body Shop bronzer in Light for color and powder and then Smashbox Soft Lights in Tint over it on the cheeks for color and highlight. On eyes is The Body Shop's shadow in Pink Champagne on lids (slightly blended with their Slate shadow) and Slate applied to crease and along lash lines. L'Oreal Full Definition Voluminous mascara in black and on lips is a slight tint of The Body Shop's Damson lipcolor, and then post-picture I put French Kiss lip gloss from Victoria's Secret over it.
