It spices up your looks for the day and it also allows you to explore new phone cases to match your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269797 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:03:27 +0000 Aida 1269797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh so many beet haters here! I loooove beets, especially when pickled. Yum! I do not use them to stain my lips, however ;)</p> <p>It sounds like a contrived version of the fantasy to me. Like, this is what we think you think these people do. I also stick to Vogue and Elle for the pure fashion fantasy, very pretty pictures in those.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269423 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:07:11 +0000 Astrid 1269423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is hilarious.

And using veggies to economize on my make up. </p> <p>Off to my kitchen to juice some carrots to use as a self-tanner to accompany my beet-red lips, algae eyeliner, and blueberry stained eyelids. Should offset the cost of my Rebecca Taylor white dress quite nicely, don't you think? I'm all for high-low dressing these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269359 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:11:02 +0000 Isabel 1269359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL ! &nbsp;You just made my day. &nbsp;Which I am spending at an upscale resort.

Is that just me?</p> <p>Shannon, actually, info on nailclippers and underpants would be much more interesting to me! And a nice counterpoint to the fantasy fashion ads.&nbsp;</p> <p>At least we have Angie and one another!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269308 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:32:48 +0000 Beth Ann 1269308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read the June InStyle, too.&nbsp; At first I felt just so "out" of the fashion loop.&nbsp; Then I realized that they were selling me a lot of things that I wouldn't want.&nbsp; I know I'm older than their target demo, and I am willing to use their white dress as simple inspiration, knowing that I might tweak the length, or choose white pants and tee instead of the dress.&nbsp; That's OK.&nbsp; But they seem to be confusing women with 14 year old girls who are planning what they'll wear to a football game.&nbsp; It was the phone case/nail polish article that made me decide not to buy it again.&nbsp; I can follow them on Pinterest and only click on what interests me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269297 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:23:14 +0000 Lisa 1269297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm chuckling over here.&nbsp; I don't like beets, I rarely sport a dress, and I am allergic to nailpolish (makes fingers tingle).&nbsp; Guess I'll be out of style for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269247 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:35:32 +0000 Von 1269247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some very dark Spirulina that I found made very nasty smoothies.&nbsp; I'm going to put it in tiny eyeshadow pots and bring to the "party like celebs" gathering.&nbsp; Eye infections for all!!&nbsp; I would like to be there when said starlet's eyes get moist. I bet she does the best raccoon ever.</p> <p>And put me down for red wine lips. Beets, eew, but wine has antioxidants.&nbsp; Afterwards, we can use leftover beet pulp, spirulina all in a red wine base to make tinted face masks. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269240 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:28:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1269240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - Summer Beetroot Party - lol!</p> <p>Diana - now you're talking.

So on point.</p> <p>Can't decide if it is showing us how the 1% live or just how we think they do.</p> <p>Wonder what you are supposed to do with the leftover beets? Maybe mix with the leftover algae for a "sweet" summer treat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269198 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:54:42 +0000 Angie 1269198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh go on, Anna.

Use spirulina (powdered algae) as an eye shadow. If you wet it, use an as eyeliner.<br /> Yes glorified pond scum can make you beautiful too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269112 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:39:00 +0000 Alassë 1269112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Anna.

Let me just say when I was an athletic &amp; curvy size 8, I had the cutest polka dot string bikini from JCrew. It was darn near scandalous...that's with C-cups!!! It was like "boom boom betty goes to the beach".&nbsp; For years I kept it as my "one day" weight loss goal, and then it had an untimely run in with termites. I think I was being sent a sign!</p> <p>Who has time to roast a beet for their lips? Why not suggest to slice off a piece, mash with a mallet in a plastic baggie and rub the juice? Right...because we all have time to simmer beets for our lips, living the life of leisure that we are.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>Cocktails after the beach...that you have to re-dress for?? Around here we make our cocktails to take to the beach. Gotta love those Tervis Tumblers to keep a margarita cool for hours! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269102 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:28:44 +0000 Jaime 1269102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But it did lead you to write this post which led me to find out about Otter Box phone covers - now that is good information! Beet lipstick is not the sort of solution I am looking for, Otter box phone covers on the other hand sound like just the ticket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269090 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:08:32 +0000 BethL 1269090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, you are a hilarious laser beam in getting to the crux of the matter. So ridiculous. So why am I still subscribing?! That is the question, huh? I guess I like to look at the pics, as someone else said. Thanks for my morning giggle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle/page/2#post-1269083 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:58:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1269083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like Rebecca Taylor dresses (which there were indeed an entire page of), though a complete wardrobe of white ones would not be my first choice. I think you can often tell when a particular designer's PR team has been working really hard to get editorial coverage!!</p> <p>The beet juice on the dress would totally happen to me, Suz.&nbsp;InStyle was better than Lucky, though, for reality checking...</p> <p>In Lucky this month, they&nbsp;featured some bikinis that were supposed to look good on almost everyone (if everyone is a tiny prepubescent girl, that is). &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.luckymag.com/magazine/2014/06/the-perfect-triangle-bikini">http://www.luckymag.com/magazi.....gle-bikini</a>&gt; &nbsp;I thought they were insane when I saw the piece a couple of days ago&nbsp;and then laughed this morning when someone on Jezebel called them out for the ridiculousness. &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://jezebel.com/luckys-idea-of-almost-every-body-type-is-laughable-1585516747">http://jezebel.com/luckys-idea.....1585516747</a>&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle#post-1269063 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:03:16 +0000 Anonymous 1269063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha ha!!! &nbsp;You are so funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle#post-1269056 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:54:47 +0000 donnat 1269056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, great laugh, thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-ive-learned-from-junes-instyle#post-1269051 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:49:14 +0000 Anonymous 1269051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!</p> <p>Is "beach to cocktails" something that comes up regularly in <i>anyone's</i> life?
