Lighting Up

It’s no secret that I’m getting old. Okay, I take that back. I am old. I don’t say that in a complaining way; old is really not a bad thing. I mean, would you rather be given a brand spanking new Barbie doll or an original Barbie from 1959? Right. Older is better.

The downside of older is that it takes more time to look “presentable” to the public. I can remember when a little blush and mascara was all I needed. Now I have to prime the skin with moisturizers, firming serums and brightening lotions before I can even begin to camouflage the age spots and fine lines.

What really gripes me is that no matter how meticulous I am about my preparations, once I’m outside in natural daylight, all my flaws just jump out at me. I have really good bathroom lighting over my vanity because I use Reveal bulbs from GE. Those are the best I’ve found so far. As good as they are, though, they still don’t compare to natural daylight.

I’m wondering, are there any better, reasonably priced alternatives to Reveal Bulbs? Or must I persuade my husband to add a window to my bathroom?
