What is it with mirrors!? Honestly, I get so annoyed with changing room mirrors or those mirrors at the beauty counters. Why does my face always look blotchy, pale, tired, skin saggy but when I get home I don't think I look that bad. Is there magic in those mirrors so that I buy all the products I can to make myself look and feel better? Anyone else have this problem or maybe I really am blotchy, pale and tired and that's that.
Meh.
and when I try on bathing suits I'm cellulitey, boney and pale. Makes me really want to buy one.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh - don't get me started on that nightmare I was just talking face:)
ReplyDeleteI think the secret is in the lighting. Harsh strip lighting or no natural daylight in the shops.
ReplyDeleteIt could also be something to do with the fact that I never dust my mirrors, that I think I look GORGEOUS in my mirrors at home ;-)
It might work to make you buy more makeup to feel better, but horrible lighting in clothes shops doesn't work. If they realised that soft flattering lighting made us look better in the changing room mirrors, they'd sell so many more clothes...
ReplyDeleteAnnie - as you know I do have a cleaning problem so not dusting my mirrors isn't going happen but good tip:) The lighting is horrid in John Lewis Oxford Street makeup department - just saying John Lewis!
ReplyDeletethere should be some sort of law about these things...it is sort of false advertising telling us we look like crap!
ReplyDeleteI agree Ola!
