So every so often I am overcome by the girlyness . . . and do something totally insane that I KNOW is insane. This week one of the insane acts was to succumb to that combination of marketing and moisturizer called "Healthy Glow", which I will henceforth call "A touch of Oompa-Loompa".
The whole premise is that you put self-tanner in moisturizer . . . a "touch" of it, and over what is supposed to be several days, you overcome the pallor. Relieved of the pallor is actually what the advertisers want you to think (and Princess . . . who hates pallor. Hates it.) As I cannot tan; for two main reasons, being a. I go from white to lobster to white again . . . no matter how many times I repeat and b. my father just had a huge chunk of skin cancer dug out of this face; I figured that I might try "the touch of Oompa-Loompa" lotion.
While I do not currently look anything like an Oompa-Loompa (though I might get closer if I dye the muppet hair green), I could see where it could go in that direction. There are streaks of what look like sorta tan . . . which I'm sure are supposed to blend in with whatever streaks I add tonight. I guess if you get enough streaks, they blend together in an Oompa-Loompa like glow (a light-skinned Oompa-Loompa anyhow) . . . but that may be too much maintenance for me. So much for my adventure in girlyness for this week.
Thank god I went with the "touch of Oompa-Loompa" and not with the fake eyelashes . . . I could have put my eye out by now.

Well finally, this is a topic I really like! First, fake eye lashes are the best! Proper application of course is the key. I am not sure about that self tanner you have selected. You really should have consulted me first. I like to think I have the corner market on such information. Remember, everyone loves a "healthy glow" on a girl.

So now I have to get fake eyelash lessons from you this weekend? Cause I'm sooo fascinated with them. Glad you liked the topic . . . sometimes I am girly. Never as girly as you though, you get the prize. (or more properly the crown) Off to turn a slightly darker shade of orange.
I think being a girl is important also. Don't shoot for orange though. Orange skin is not good.
try the Jergens, for FAIR complexions.
You were right about the oompa loompa-ness getting worse once you stop. Maybe I'll just stick to pasty whiteness.
