Micellar water or cleansing oil?

I’ll take the cleansing oil, all day, every day. Side note: keep in mind when washing your deal with with an oil cleanser was a revolutionary idea?

Péče o kůži. I’ve crossed that bridge, as well as I’m right here for it.

I wanna state fingers, however there’s truly something special about feathering out the edges with a brush.

Mám na sobě ilia barevný opar multi-užívání pigmentu v pokušení na víčkách, rtech a tvářích
Dobré ráno a šťastný úterý! Snažím se tento týden nový make-up a vlasová uniforma – monochromatická víčka, rty a tváře s ležérní korunou.

Použil jsem multi-použití krém ILIA v teplé korálové růžové, aby se snadno vytáhla make-up dohromady před videozáznamem. Technicky krém je navržen tak, aby se nosil jako červenat a rtěnku, ale rozhodl jsem se ho nosit jako oční stíny jen pro zábavu. Vidím make-up umělců, kteří dělají tento druh věci po celou dobu, takže jsem spokojen s experimentováním, ale víš, ty jsi to!

REKLAMA

Trochu mřížky, ale nemyslím si, že se to zobrazí na videohovor, takže jsem s ním v pohodě
Také jsem zametl trochu Bronzer v mém záhybu (Mac mi dal slunce)
Takový účes. Říkám tomu “ležérní korunu pletené”, protože je to jedna z těch, kteří by měli být trochu chaotický. Opravdu jsem si neuvědomil, jak to bylo, jak jsem to udělal pic zády, omg!

Šílený!
Právě jsem udělal ta tvář, když jsem si uvědomil šílenství, která se tam stane …

Tento přesný výraz.
Nikdo na videohoverách vlastně nevidí zadní hlavu, takže jsem s tím naprosto v pořádku, ale vážně s tím, jak šílený je, lol!

starting a new book today!
Heya! pleased Friday. How’s your day going?

Mine has been pretty good so far. Today I have the day off, my first in ages, and I have a few hours to myself while Connor is in school, and I practically don’t know what do. I’ve been working on the weekends for the past few weeks, and while I typically don’t mind keeping busy, I’ve chose that this is the year I’m going to fully embrace rest, so today I’m going to do my best to just relax.

REKLAMA

All I’m allowed to do are things that help refill the well, so to speak, both mentally and physically. good luck to me, LOL! There’s always something to do around here, and I’m already ticking off all the things I could accomplish with the extra time, like cleaning the bathroom, doing laundry, going grocery shopping, prepping meals for the weekend, getting ahead on writing for work, etc. etc. BUT, NOPE. Not gonna do it. rest is the priority today.

I’m going to curb the need to be productive and just do fun things for me today. I’m going to view a period piece (I’m thinking “Remains of the Day” or “The Age of Innocence”), purchase a Blue Barn salad, start a new book and maybe paint my nails if I’m feeling ambitious. Oh, I’m going to drink decaf Nespressos all day long, hahaha. I may even take a nap, GASP!

Ate my favorite salad in the world, the Tostada salad with grilled shrimp and avocado from Blue Barn Marin

Love me a period piece

Are you good about being proactive about your periods of rest? I’m so not. I’m trying to get better about it, though.

Anywho, so this note is marginally related to makeup, Kathleen said this in the comments last Friday on the two-toned liner makeup post:

Teach me your ways! I can deal with the amazing liner situation. but can you walk me through the eyeshadow, please? Is the Honey Lust on the lid and the Woodwinked on the inner corner? and Saddle underneath both as a base? I never wear shadow, so I appreciate your suggestions – Thanks!

Hey, Kathleen! thank you for your question. Here’s a breakdown of where I put each shadow on my lid; snad to pomůže.

Some general tips:

Practice, practice, practice. With eyeshadow, I think it’s always a good idea to just keep practicing. place your shadows on your lids, blend as much as you can (use a light touch), and repeat until you get the hang of it. eventually you’ll figure out what placement works best for your eye shape.

Keep it simple. I would keep it relatively simple. Do one, two shades at the most. Oh, and simplify by skipping the primer if you want (or don’t). I typically opt out and just do shadow, no primer.

Smooth it out. That said, if you’re having trouble smoothing out your gradients, try dusting a light layer of powder on top of your lids first. and just keep practicing!

Alright, I’m off to go and do absolutely nothing.

I will totally get to these purple lids in a second (BECAUSE PURPLE), but first, can we pleeeeease talk about the latest mystery to unfold on this end of the keyboard — a mystery also known as “The Haunting of Casa MBB”?

Don’t worry, there’s nothing terribly sinister afoot (I’m not splashing buckets of holy water on things left and right, in case you’re wondering!).

REKLAMA

I’ve been gently “haunted” for the past few weeks by my favorite Chanel blush brush, which has been disappearing and reappearing all over the house in the most random places. I’ve found it on my bed, in the hallway, on the middle of the stairs, on the kitchen floor.

Last week I found it smack dab in the middle of living room, just sitting there on the carpet right in front of the couch.

Hmm… ?

I just assumed that Connor had grabbed it and played with it and forgot to put it back, but when I asked her about it later she said, “No, mama, I have my own brushes.” (Hahaha! She totally does!)

Now, this brush just so happens to be one of my favorite blush brushes because it’s super soft, and the brush head fits perfectly on top of the apples of my cheeks and underneath the hollow of my cheekbones, so I can use it for blush and bronzový. The bristles are also perfectly floofy, so it blends like a dream.

I thought, if an otherworldly entity/spirit has been obsessing over it, I completely understand.

But it ended up not being due to a makeup brush-loving ghost. The disappearances were in fact due to a cat.

YUP! look who I just found outside my office doing her “hunter’s mewl.” It’s this cute little growl/grumble Rosie Posie does whenever she stalks and hunts one of her soft toy balls and she wants to show off the riches of her spoils.

I went into the hallway to investigate and give her the usual attention she likes after she catches her prey (“Oh, good job, Rosie-Pose! You’re such a good mouser. look how well you stalked your toy!”), and that’s when I caught her red-handed (red-pawed?) with my Chanel brush in her mouth.

Záhada vyřešena!

I guess from this point forward, this brush will have a special hiding place…inside a drawer!

(QUICK UPDATE: later in the day, I also caught her dragging my NARS blush brush around, so she appears to be expanding her hunting horizons.)

Jewel-toned purple lids

OK, so let’s talk purple lids. Now, this might look a little familiar to ya because I’ve been doing variations of this look using the same neutral colors in the crease, inner corner and lash lines, but with different jewel tones on the lids. First, green, and then blue, and now purple!

Find your core

This totally wearable look relies on finding a core group of matte brown and beige eyeshadows for your crease colors. once you find ones you like, then you can just keep them on standby, and then quickly swap out the jewel tone on your lids with other colors to create different looks!

I’ve been using the same set of warm browns and beiges in this series…

Beige matte shadow base: NARS tinted Smudge proof Eyeshadow Base in Light

Beige shadow: MAC Mylar

Light warm matte brown shadow: MAC Soft Brown

Mid-toned warm matte brown shadow: MAC Saddle

Dark mate brown shadow: MAC Brun

Bronze pencil: MAC Teddy

For the purples, I’m wearing a shimmery purple called Guilt Trip, a dark purple called Drift (both are from the urban Decay born to Run Palette) and a dark purple UD pencil called Empire.

The foundation, powder blush/bronzer and lipstick are the same products I recently used in a 10-minute makeup look in this It Cosmetics foundation review (which I’m also wearing in this pic, by the way).

As you can see, I’m pretty stoked about this look, and I’m excited to wear makeup again!

Vaše přátelské sousedství krásy závislý,

welcome to the weekend!
Hello as well as pleased Saturday from me, my breakfast as well as Janet Jackson on the cover of “Allure.”

This is my preferred Janet Jackson song, by the way. Co je tvoje?

REKLAMA

Anywho…I’ve had the magazine sitting on my desk for a few days; I’ve been saving it to checked out on Saturday morning with my breakfast. since reading a magazine on the weekend feels that much much more special for some reason! (Maybe since I can unwind as well as savor the experience.) It’s one of my preferred things.

Another of my preferred things? My Nespresso machine!

It’s essentially like a elegant Keurig. I got one for Christmas from El Hub. You purchase the coffee pod cups, which are available in different flavors as well as intensities, then insert the cup into the machine, as well as the device just does its thang. It makes delicious, tasty coffee! I mean, it’s a few of the very best coffee I’ve ever had from anyplace on earth. Also, the cups are made of aluminum as well as recyclable, so you can decrease them into a recycling bag when you’re done, as well as take them to a regional recycling spot.

No joke, however I will speak with anybody as well as everybody about the glory of a cup of Nespresso coffee… It’s so creamy as well as full of layers of rich flavor! AH! I don’t understand if I’ve just been drinking awful drip coffee for as well numerous years or if Nespresso is truly all that as well as a bag of chips, however I get up in the morning salivating at the believed of that very first pohár.
