Miracle in a Bottle

For some reason, maybe it was the gorgeous weather or something; I was a total nutcase on Saturday.

Everything was making me crack up with non-stop laughter. For example, on the way to the park, the boyfriend pointed at a dog sleeping on a lawn and I practically fell over from laughing so hard. Was it that hysterical? Not really. But, what can I say, I was a total goof.

Anyway, the reason I mention it is because I was laughing so hard that tears were pouring down my face, and my make-up got all messed up.The bronzer I had lightly dusted on my cheeks somehow became trapped in my pores, and I ended up looking like a freckled freakface.

When I got home from the park, I washed off my face and used Sonya Dakar's Pore Minimizer, part of the new Clarifying Collection, as a primer before redoing my make-up. Results? Awesome. No more noticeable pores. No more make-up trapped inside them. No more freckled freakface.

The product is described by the company as "a finishing liquid silk that reflects light to minimize the appearance of pores." I call it miracle in a bottle. Seriously, the stuff works … all day. It also contains a cocktail of super-strength antioxidants: Acai, Copaiba and Andiroba.

A 20mL bottle of the product retails for $48 at sonyadakar.com. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go laugh at dogs.
