Want 2 Be Barbie

I was reading my new issue of InStyle today and saw an ad for David Babaii for WildAid. David’s products are touted as being great for your hair and great for the planet. No sulfates, no parabens, no animal testing and made of natural ingredients. Ten pecent of te profits are donated to WildAid to help endangered animals. You can check them out at db4wildaid.com. My only complaint is that the incredible overuse of Adobe Flash made it really hard to lift this picture. Which I did anyway, because it constitutes fair use. *Sniff of disdain*

I just love these eye shadows. The packaging, the palette, it’s all part of the appeal to me! I started with the pink and the blue, and then I had to order the rest of them. Can you see in the pictures how they are sparkly? Well, when they go on, they are not quite as sparkly as they look in the compact, and that’s fine. But as you brush them on, some of the sparkles actually land around the eye, and it really lights up that area of the face. Truly draws the attention to the eye area without an overwhelming LOOK AT ME effect. Truly glam, but also appropriate for everyday. I use an eyeshadow brush, and never the applicators that come with the shadows. Ever.

When I was a little girl, I had a butt load of Barbie dolls. I kept them and all their clothes in a five gallon pickle bucket, and I amused myself for hours, helping that little plastic doll live a perfect life. I wanted to be Barbie back then because she had that handsome husband, and those cute little itty bitty molded hair babies. Today, I still want to be Barbie, but my reasoning has changed. Today, I’m 40-something, with a handsome husband and a passel of real-haired kids, and I still want to be Barbie because that bitch has everything.
