Quote du Jour: Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly

I've got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can't go to Sing Sing with a green face.

That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's! 

I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other. 

Review: Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation ($13.99 for 1.0 oz) is supposed to be a "soft, luminous finish" foundation that gives "poreless - airbrushed skin in any light" with "photo chromatic pigments." It's oil free, fragrance free, and has SPF 20. There are twelve shades to choose from.

I have Shell, which is currently a little too light for me (after a few to many hours in the sun) but overall I am enjoying using the foundation.

The only problem I have with the foundation is the texture and application, no matter what I use to apply it (beauty blender, brush, sponge, fingers) it seems to go on somewhat streaky and clings to some dry areas. Other than that, I think that this photographs wonderfully and feels nice on your skin.

Pigmentation: 9/10
Texture: 8.5/10
Longevity: 10/10
Application: 8/10

Overall: 35.5/40 B+

Crave or Save: Itsy-Bitsy Bikini's

Melissa Odabash Martini Twisted Bandeau Bikini // Topshop Bubblegum Plunge Bikini

How fun are these twist front bikini tops? And the bright shades of pink are absoutely darling. I love retro-esque swim suits and something about these are a little 50s inspired, which I adore.
