What I'm loving Wednesday

Whoa two posts in two days.. Things are gettin' crazy around these parts! ;) 

Thought I'd pop in for a quick What I'm loving Wednesday post! 

1. I'm loving that my friend, Maria, and I are going to see the Hunger Games tomorrow at midnight!! Well, technically it's Friday at midnight, but you get it. I'm so excited! When I saw Twilight, the theater smelled a little like a high school gym class and I'm sure this crowd will be similar, but whatever! I kinda want to wear something themed.. I mean why not go all out, right? TBD on that though b/c I'm feeling kinda lazy... haha... 


2. I'm kinda loving my new foundation! I'm only a week in, so still in testing mode, but so far so good.I know I've blogged about my adoration for Hourglass. I still love it, but honestly.. it's kinda pricey ($55/bottle). And it's also a tinge heavy for summer for me. So, after reading about the new Benefit Hello Flawless foundation that just came out, I thought I'd give it a go. So far, so good! They advise using a brush to apply, which I already do for foundation, so that works for me. I tried it with just my fingers and I definitely agree that a brush is a must. The finish is totally different with the brush...more airbrushed-looking.

The only real downfall so far is the consistency when it comes out of the bottle. It's a little liquidy. It goes on really well and doesn't look watery on my face at all though, so I think it's just going to be getting used to the different consistency. Reviews said it makes your complexion look dewy and fresh. I'll agree with that! It doesn't seem to be as long-wearing as the hourglass, but that's alright b/c it's a lighter foundation so that's to be expected. Plus, I like the lighter feel for summer. I read that some people really like the Benefit Hello Flawless powder with it, so I've been contemplating getting that, too. Anyway, for a week in, I'm pretty pleased with this little foundation!

3. GCB. I'd heard lots of chatter about GCB, so thought I'd watch the pilot last weekend. I ended up watching the pilot AND the second episode...and eagerly awaiting the third to air on Sunday. Totally digging it! :) Do you watch?

4. In reference to my post yesterday, I'm loving that I'm going spray tanning after work..*cheesy smile*  I told myself I can't get into this pattern of spray tanning all the time b/c it's expensive yada yada, but I really want to right now dangit. Sooooo, I'm giving in. T-minus 6 hours to a bronzed glow.... ;) I already apologized to Eric for the brown tint my skin will leave on the sheets tonight. Why does safe tanning have to be so messy?

5. This photo I tweeted yesterday of Eric and Gracie dog. He'd been out of town and I think she missed him.... :) He laid down, booted up his laptop and within 5 seconds, she was trying to come say hello... :)


What about you? What are you loving today?

I am looking for a summer foundation so this post came at the perfect time!
Love gcb. Totally mindless hilarious tv is my fav. And I needed something to replace brothers and sisters.
The weather has been nice enough here to lay out or I would be getting a spray tan too! My friend and I were discussing the other day how we were in bad moods and both wanted to go to the tanning bed to feel better!

I'm thinking I need to get to my nearest Sephora to try that. I'm an Estee Lauder lover but need something lighter for summer. I tried bare minerals last summer and found out I'm allergic to it...EEK!
I'm hoping to go see the Hunger Games Friday night!!
Love GCB!!
