Shimmer me Up!

Hello Everyone,
This is Sara on my new day.... Monday :)... if you are a Grayce follower.... do not worry she has moved to Thursdays...

So Ladies, There are a few things in my life that can make me feel feminine. Feminine like a am a lady first, push the Mom and working woman stuff to the back of my brain (lol)...

One of those things is body shimmer, not body glitter (I am too old for that stuff, unless it it Halloween). Body shimmers come in predominantly 3 different forms, There is the spray, powder or the lotion.

My personal favorite is the powder. But not just any powder but the powder puff. it is the girliest thing in my life!!! Benefit Kitten Classic Powder Puff. It comes in the cutest box and you open it up and there is this powder puff, all the powder is already inside so the mess is really nominal.... All you do is pat your body where ever you want the shimmer... I highly recommend applying any body shimmer before you get dressed. When I use it, I always pat my neck decollete and shoulders, sometimes arms and legs depending on where I am going.

Whether you choose a Spray, powder, or lotion. Body shimmer is always achieved in the formula through mica and iron oxides. These 2 minerals give it the shimmery appearance as well as the color.

Some are referred to as body shimmers, which tend to be colorless (or at least have a white/ opal) shade to them. If you see Body Bronzer / Shimmer that implies, color to make you look more tan, as well as give a shimmery look to your skin.

It is make up for your body and will rub off through out the day and will wash of in the shower.
This is different than self tanning products which actually stain the skin.

Happy Monday

Sara
