Carbo Loading: Palladio Rice Powder Blotting Papers

They should never see you sweat or shine.

For my latest birthday my friend Melissa swallowed her pride and got tickets for us to see KE$HA at the Rave here in Milwaukee. Ke$ha music is just ridiculously fun! In turn, I surprised her by arranging for hair and makeup from Amanda Shallow. Melissa looked pretty hot in her eye candy:

I wanted a few dreds and Amanda obliged:

Lots of glitter in the hair, eyeliner and a few crystals on my face and, voila! I loved the end result:

Psst…I can’t help but think of this when I see the above photo:

The night was fun, but what we didn’t count on was the intense heat. A storm was coming, but the only air blowing through was focused on the empty corners of the bar (because people were watching the concert, ‘natch). Mike Posner was pretty incredible opening act, dancing non-stop in what looked like LEATHER. He sh0uld have passed out at some point but blew through his performance. It only (literally) got hotter from there.

We really could have used some Palladio Rice Powder Blotting Papers.

These gorgeous little packs are small enough to fit in that night out purse, and cut shine in two ways. One, the “paper” side, if you will, should be used to sop up any liquidy mess to prep the area.
