Chanel and Kale...but mostly Chanel

Ok, so today has consisted of a lot of shopping. My first stop was the Chanel counter at Von Maur. I told the saleswoman that I was looking to for the tinted moisturizer and wanted to see if my color was still the same one (I was finally going to purchase it). We got to talking about my endless search for the perfect face makeup and she suggested we try a few on. So, I sat down in the chair and she matched me for the amazing tinted moisturizer in the color Sunlit...which is my faaaaaaavorite. Then she wanted to try out the Vitalumiere Aqua and I said why not. It looked horrible on me! It is supposed to be great and lightweight, but on me it looked heavy and very matte. Definitely not for me because it it oil-free and I have pretty dry skin. She took it off and then applied the regular Vitalumiere in the color 10 Limpide. It was like the sky opened up and angels began to sing. I finally found my perfect foundation! This product looks so amazing and natural on my skin, I couldn't believe it. It gives me just the right amount of a dewy glow that I always want, without looking oily. I do need to start wearing blush though when I'm using this because it gives good coverage and without blush, my face would look unnatural. I'm so happy! It came to around $58 after taxes, but I won't be using it everyday and I have a feeling it will last me for a long time, so the price didn't really concern me. Hooray!

My next significant purchase of the day was kale! I know it's not luxurious like Chanel, but it's super healthy and very tasty. I've heard all the rave about this veggie for a while now and have only tried it once when I was in California at The Veggie Grill. I had never seen it sold in any other grocery store here other than Whole Foods, so when I saw it at Hyvee I got really excited. You can eat it raw like in a salad, steam it, or even bake it into chips. I'm going to make a yummy salad with it for dinner and I can't wait! It is packed full of vitamins and I think it's the healthiest of the leafy greens. Cheers!
