The strange as well as the fantastic

So much blue!
I like that anywhere we are in the world, be it a hilly hamlet in the ‘burbs (hello, Novato!) or a busy metropolis like London, we can, at any type of provided time, discover things that are strange as well as ihana.

For example, I walked into Safeway a couple weeks back to get some kimchi.

MAINOS

Long story, however there aren’t any type of Oriental grocery stores in Novato, as well as the closest one is about 10 miles away, as well as I didn’t want to hop on the freeway.

Anyway, I went to Safeway to get some overpriced kimchi, as well as where I walked in was on the side with the floral department.

Puomi! I walked into a deluge of these crazy blue orchids…

Sometimes I feel like that a person lonely non-blue orchid, LOL!
It was type of surreal! like I was in a sci-fi movie.

I keep in mind reading someplace that blue is the rarest (or one of the rarest?) color in nature, as well as it did feel strange to see so numerous blue flowers concentrated in one place.

They look like technicolor flowers, don’t they? Actually, I don’t understand exactly how I feel about them… On one hand, I can’t stop staring, however on the other hand, there’s something a bit off about them.

En tiedä. Mitä mieltä sinä olet?

That reminds me…on one more trip, this to Woodlands Pet Food & Treats, since they bring Ziwi Peak, which is Tabs’ preferred food (it’s from new Zealand, as well as he’s type of bougie like that), however it’s extremely expensive, so I get it for him every when in a while as a special treat, as I surveyed the shelves, I found something I’d never seen before called poultry Soup for the spirit feline Food.

I question if it’s as inspiring as the book, LOL! I believe I may have a copy around right here somewhere that I got from my mom…

Siis mitä?!

I question if it’s called that since the people who purchase the book are mainly feline ladies? If so, exactly how did anybody even discover this out?! as well as what’s the connection between the book as well as the food? Is the food expected to soothe my soul, or my cat’s? as well as why are none of these flavors really poultry soup?

This is so confusing to me. perhaps I’m taking it as well literally…

Yeah, I most likely am.

Still, I believe it’s oddly delightful.

I can’t tell if that feline is upset or happy, which is one of the things I like about CATS.
Peep the women hugging their cats on the labels, as well as the label line: “Because food is much more than just nutrition. It’s likewise about comfort, like as well as appreciation.”

I can completely get behind that, even if this whole circumstance is confusing to me.

Because food is much more than just nutrition…
I would’ve gotten Tabs a can, however he’s gotten so picky as well as diva-ish about his food in his senior years.

Anyway, keep a lookout for strange as well as fantastic things on your travels today. let me understand what you find.

MAC Unsung Heroes: Swiss chocolate Eyeshadow

got a wonderful tooth?
I was at the fitness center last week when we started speaking about desserts (These are the things you do when you hang out with a lot of people who do HIIT together. You talk about desserts!), as well as the teacher, Nicol, stated that if you put anything chocolaty in front of her, she’s basically toast.

I’m the exact same method with chocolate desserts as well as eyeshadow, as well as particularly MAC Swiss chocolate Eyeshadow.

MAINOS

Chocolaty delicious
What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an frequently underrated makeup morsel, a long-term collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup enthusiasts however on a regular basis rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features a few of my favorites.

Oh, my goodness, I’ve been using this shades for eons! — as well as I begin busting it out more commonly in the autumn since I like the method it looks with vampy autumn berry, burgundy, purple as well as wine lip shades. A bit MAC Swiss chocolate added to your eyeshadow mix ties whatever together in a DEEEEE-luscious chocolate bow.

MAC Swiss chocolate in my crease as well as MAC Heroine Lipstick

Don’t fear the red.

Toistan! — do not fear the red, since matte reddish brown Swiss chocolate strikes that delicate balance between being red as well as not being as well red, so you won’t look like you’ve got demon eyes, OK?

It functions a bit like MAC Saddle in that you can do your lighter brown crease color very first (colors like Soft brown as well as Texture, by the way, look excellent in the crease with Swiss Chocolate), as well as then layer Swiss chocolate on top, however if you leave space for it to feather up into that crease color, it’ll appear to deepen your crease.

Now, instead of being an orange brown like Saddle, Swiss chocolate is more of a reddish brown. It’s still warm as well as brown, however I prefer to wear Saddle with warm brown, peach as well as coral lipsticks as well as blushes, as well as Swiss chocolate with berries, plums, etc.

Swiss Chocolate, Soft brown as well as Saddle
Swiss Chocolate’s red tones truly make blue, eco-friendly as well as hazel eyes pop IMO, but, you know, I have brown eyes, as well as I believe it looks excellent on brown eyes, too, particularly if you do a bronzed brown or reddish brown liner like MAC Teddy or MAC Costa Riche. It’s perfection.

MAC Bamboo Eye shadow (lids), MAC Swiss chocolate Eye shadow (crease), MAC Teddy Eye Kohl (water lines as well as lower lash lines), Chanel Inimitable Mascara (lashes) as well as Covergirl Bombshell intensity liner (upper lash lines)
I’ve heard some people state that they have problems blending out Swiss Chocolate. I haven’t experienced that myself, however if it’s something you’ve run into before, right here are some things that may help. very first is to lay down a primer, of course, as well as if your primer doesn’t seem to be working well with Swiss Chocolate, try utilizing a thinner layer of primer. That seems to make the blending easier for me.

Also, after you apply your primer, wait on it to totally dry. Then, blend a bit of transparent powder on top, since that powder will act as a buffer between your eyeshadow as well as your primer, enabling those powder grains to slip as well as slide better.

MAC Ricepaper layered beneath MAC Vanilla on my brow bone, MAC Bamboo as well as MAC Saddle in the crease, MAC Swiss chocolate on my lids as well as MAC Ricepaper in the inner corner, as well as MAC Smolder Eye Kohl topped with MAC Carbon on my upper lash lines, MAC Costa Riche on my water as well as lower lash lines, as well as Chanel Inimitable Mascara in 10 on my upper as well as lower lashes.
Swiss chocolate goes well with SO many traditional MAC neutrals, too. sometimes I’ll wear it with Bare research study or Laying low paint Pot, then, like I mentioned, I’ll add Texture, Bamboo or Soft brown in the crease. then to define the crease further, I’ll add a bit Swiss chocolate in the crease as well as the outer V.

I like to utilize MAC Brule to highlight when I do a look like this, however Ricepaper looks good, too. thing is, Ricepaper’s shimmer has more of a ’90s vibe (which is great, though, however it can be dated), particularly if you’re putting it along your brown bone, so I’ll usually keep it on my lid as well as in the inner corner.

A pan of MAC Swiss chocolate is offered now for $16 in the long-term line, however if you have any type of empty palettes sitting around, you can save some dough by getting one of the refill pans instead, which are $6.

Swiss chocolate is an remarkable autumn color! I hope you inspect it out sometime.

Joten..what on maanantai-kysely?

No, se ei ole juuri kysely. Se on paljon enemmän kehittyvää (harvoa?), Hieman satunnainen luettelo kysymyksistä, jotka olen lukenut lukijoille joka maanantaia aamuna viimeisten yhdeksän (!) Vuotta. (Se on kuin kickstart aivosi.) Olen aina iloinen lukemassa vastauksia kommenteissa, ja toivon, että iloitit lukemistani.

1. Kuinka kauan kynnet ovat parhaiten nyt?

Ei kauan. He eivät edes mene sormenpäilläni! – Ja tiedätkö mitä? Pidän siitä tavalla.

Minulla oli pitkät kynnet vuosia ja vuosia ja vuosia, mutta lyhyet kynnet ovat niin paljon yksinkertaisempia minulle. He ovat yksinkertaisempia kirjoittamaan, ja minun ei tarvitse huolehtia siitä, että heitä rikkovat tai haluavat, huolehdi siitä tahattomasti naarmuttamalla vauva tai minä pistää silmäni, kun teen linjasi.

2. Kuinka vanha olit, kun aloitti ruoanlaitto?

Oi, minun hyvyyteni … Olen hieman häpeä myöntää tämän, mutta en aloittanut ruoanlaittoa ennen kuin lähdin korkeakoulusta klo 18 (!). Ja kun aloin, en voinut tehdä sh * t. En voinut edes lämmetä ruokaa potissa!

Ei, vakavasti. Muistan asuntolan keittiöön ja yrittää lämmetä eräänä päivänä, että äitini oli antanut minulle. Heitin heidät pottiin, mutta sitten unohdin heistä ja käytännössä asettanut asuntolan tuleen.

Yup … mutta olen saanut parempaa, koska sitten. Voin tyypillisesti seurata reseptiä nyt ja minulla ei ole kauhistuttavaa.

3. Kuvaile hiukset kolmessa sanassa.

Pitkä, kuriton, suklaa

4. Mitä / voisitko tehdä, jos sinulla oli vain 60 sekuntia silmän meikki?

Katso, tämä on kroonisesti myöhään todella tulee kätevästi. Voisin saada melko vähän tehdään 60 sekunnissa. Kuten, voisin täyttää selkäni mustan kynällä, käpertyä ripsivärini, Whack joitakin ripsiväriä yläreunaani (en edes vaivaudu minun alemmat ripset; he ovat erilainen peto kokonaan) ja tiukasti ylemmän ripsien rivini mustan kynällä.

Ja tiedän, että voin tehdä nämä asiat 60 sekunnissa, koska ajasin juuri sen.

5. Jos asut Yhdysvalloissa, mitä teet kiitospäivälle?

Jee! Meillä on se talossamme tänä vuonna, joten molemmat Connorin isovanhemmat ja veljeni ovat tulossa.

Minulla oli kaikki nämä yksityiskohtaiset, suuret suunnitelmat päälleni tekemään jokaisen lautasen tyhjästä … mutta en vain voinut käsitellä Turkkia, joten päädyin tilaamaan muutamia asioita paikallisilta markkinoilta, mikä tekee parhaan kalkkunan ja sivuilta . Joten meillä on se, hengailla, leikkiä vauvan kanssa, ja se on se. Odotan sitä todella.

Uusi viikko …

Tehtäessään talon puhdistusta viime viikonloppuna, löysin joukon satunnaisia ​​asioita, joita ajattelin, että menetin, kuten Mac Sunbasque Blush (Yay!) Ja hullu kissan nainen toiminta, jonka veljeni oli antanut minulle joulua muutama vuosi sitten.

Se on menossa minun hyllylleni kissan nainen asioita.

Etkö rakasta etsimään haudattua aarre ympäri taloa?

Toivon, että saat jonkin verran draama-vapaa-aikaa tällä viikolla rentoutua ja syödä joitain suosikki asioita. Mitä teet tänään?

It Cosmetics Your Skin but better CC+ cream Oil-Free Matte With SPF 40

incredibly new! —> It Cosmetics Your Skin but better CC+ Oil-Free Matte SPF 40 (I wear it in Tan, which is fine for everything below my eyes but borderline ashy on my forehead ideal now because, somewhat ironically, I have a tan at the moment.)
Does It Cosmetics CC+ cream Oil-Free Matte tinted moisturizer hold the secrets of the universe?

Nah, but wouldn’t it be great if it did, though?! I could finally figure out what the heck happened to Jon B.!

The teal tube may have a summer time look, but it’s something I’ll wear year round. It’s a lightweight medium-coverage tinted moisturizer that’ll have everyone around you believing you’re having a seriously sweet skin day — although, heads up, it won’t deceive the frenemy who goes straight for the jugular and points out a ripe zit right away before saying something like, “Me? Oh, I never get pimples.”

Bless her heart!

It Cosmetics Your Skin but better CC+ cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 is similar to…

Too Faced’s Peach best comfort Matte Foundation: CC+ has a little less coverage, and a flatter matte finish.

NARS velvet Matte SPF 30: similar finish, texture and coverage, but CC+ is rated for a little better sun protection at SPF 40.

Estée Lauder double wear Light: very similar. It’s thicker than double Wear, which has a runny consistency, so it takes a little a lot more effort to spread and blend, but coverage, finish and wear are generally the same. I like both but like double wear because it isn’t as peach. It’s yellower, which is a better fit for my skin tone.

Bare skin on one side and Tan on the other (for reference, I’m an NC42 in MAC).
You could easily matte it down a lot more by dusting a powder on top, but I like a setting spray instead. A li’l CC+ Matte, a spritz here, a spritz there, and I’m good for the day.

Punk Rock Pink // Urban Decay

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Freenemyssä
Dude, olen vähiten punk-rock henkilö koskaan, mutta jos olisin punk rock-arina, olisin täysin pukeutunut tämä monokromaattinen vaaleanpunainen meikki ilme faux-hawk.

Olin innoittamana “mennä sinne” tänään kuvassa, jonka olen nähnyt Model Ruby Rose Urban Decay Website pari viikkoa sitten.

Se on enimmäkseen kaupunkien rappeutuminen silmilläni ja huulillani, jossa on joitain Mac, Nudestix ja Clinique lisätty hyväksi.

Se otti kaiken, mitä minun piti vastustaa kiusausta sekoittumaan liian monta varjoja kannellani (koska se on niin hauskaa!) Ja pitää säätiöni ja peittäjä minimiin.

Vai niin! – En voi uskoa, että melkein unohdin mainita, mitä mielestäni on tärkeimmät salaisuudet tehdä tämä ilme. Mielestäni salaisuus on tyytyväinen siihen, että se hyväksyy, että se (luultavasti) ei tule osoittautumaan täydellisesti, ja se on täysin hieno. Jos vuoraus on hieman heikko tai luomiväri ei ole yhtä sekoitettu kuin se voisi olla, vain mennä sen kanssa ja pidä mielessä, että se ei ottanut ikuisesti.

Glame glam puolessa tunnissa minulle ei ole mitään muuta kuin ihme, koska takaisin päivä BTB (ennen vauvaa), näyttää siltä, ​​että tämä olisi helposti kiertänyt kahteen tuntia!

Pohjimmiltaan tässä on nopea juoksu …

Alkaen ihollani, jopa minun ihoni, olen pukeutunut MAC vieressä mitään kasvojen väri keskipitkällä ja koko kasvoni Mac MatchMaster Concealer varjossa 5 Silmäni alla ja paidat: Oletko kokeillut tätä peitevoide? Se on todella hyvä!). Sitten asetin kaiken ohut kerros Mac mineralisoida skinfinish luonnollista jauhetta keskipitkällä kultaisella.

Silmäni mukaan asetin ohut kerros Nudstix magneetti silmänväristä kruesilta ripsien linjalle, sitten pyyhkäisi kuuma vaaleanpunainen sävy Urban Decay Basquiat Brights paletti rypytys, ennen kuin sekoitat reunat kevyemmän vaaleanpunaisen varjosta sama paletti.

Kävelin ohut siivekäs vuoraus Cliniquen kanssa melko helppo nestemäinen silmukka kynä, sitten laittaa hulluimmat ripset, jotka tuntevat Womankind – a.k.a. Lashes-talossa vääriä ripset (kutsuttu ikoninen).

Ja pöin hieman bronzer ja kuuma vaaleanpunainen punastunut UD Basquiat Blush / Bronzer Palette minun posket.

Koska en voinut ratkaista yhden huulipunan kulumista, päädyin yrittäen joukon vaaleanpunaisia ​​kaupunkien hajoamisesta Vice Hirstick Line.

New for Spring! Essence Lip Swatches

ever because that fateful day I picked up one of their lip liners, Essence has continued to keep me pleasantly amazed with the quality of their makeup. In the world of incredibly budget-friendly makeup, the brand keeps working their way up to the tippy top.

They recently released a couple of new lip products for spring 2016 — their shine & sheer Lipsticks, and the Essence liquid Lipsticks — and I love me a good lipstick! I also love me some makeup that I don’t have to sell my soul for, so this is a match made in affordability heaven.

MAINOS

Let’s start with my favorite of the two, the liquid Lipsticks. There are six available shades, and one thing to understand before going out and purchasing every one is that they might not be what you expect when you think of “liquid lipstick.” My experience with liquid lipsticks is much more along the lines of Kat Von D and Colourpop, where they go on very liquid-y and opaque and dry down matte.

These are much more of a really pigmented gloss, but they still sit nicely on the lips and last a good amount of time. I really am a substantial fan of these for a plump and shiny lip.

Ready for the best part? Ne. Are. Vain. $3.49.

They really amazed me, too. They give a very flattering wash of color and feel like a really moisturizing balm. You’ll will want to chuck whichever one you’re wearing in your bag to reapply it throughout the day, because they are so sheer and balmy that they don’t last an remarkable amount of time.

There are also a few that have some really fine glitter, and they look really good, but you can feel a little bit of that gritty feeling when you rub your lips together. just a fair warning if that sort of thing bothers you. I have five of the available nine shades.

“Candy Love” 12

Because these are sugar-based, you do end up eating a few of the sugar (in my case, most of the sugar), however a few of it does dissolve. Or, you can rinse it off with water or eliminate it with a tissue.

After you scrub as well as exfoliate with them, they leave behind an essence of oil for wetness as well as the faintest hint of a tint that appears like you’re using a bit of lip balm, as well as they feel nice as well as mukava. They aren’t sticky, as well as they’re just about as thick as a MAC Cremesheen.

Five flavors

These are in the MAC long-term line now for $16, as well as they are available in five different scents as well as flavors.

One of the things for me with lip products, as well as particularly lip scrubs, is that I have to like the method they taste as well as smell; otherwise, it doesn’t matter exactly how great they look. I’m not even going to bother. These have a extremely light scent that won’t assault you from a mile away, as well as I believe they taste great. They get the wonderful balance just right, so none of that artificially nasty-sweet nonsense.

Nami nami! MAC Lip Scrubtious in summertime Berry

My preferred one is wonderful brown Sugar since it tastes like dulce de leche, however I likewise like the fruitier ones like Candied Nectar as well as Fruits of Passion, both of which taste like Life Savers to me. summery Berry tastes like mixed berry Jello, as well as wonderful Vanilla, which is my least preferred one (although I believe it still tastes quite good), tastes like sugar cookies.

Do you truly requirement a tasty lip scrub?

You might make a lip scrub at house utilizing olive oil, granulated sugar as well as something else for flavor, however these are likewise somewhat pigmented, as well as they’re MAC. They’re most likely ideally for the MAC woman or guy who has whatever however still wants more, type of like having a vehicle with a butt warmer in the seat.

Like, technically…you don’t requirement one, however man, they’re nice to have.

Vai niin! — the jars likewise qualify for Back to MAC, so when you surface a jar, as well as I can quickly see myself gnoshing with a jar in two months, you can save as well as redeem them for a free lipstick.

Salon Sunday

I got my bangs trimmed as well as my hair colored at the salon yesterday, which was wonderful since it provided me an reason to sit in a chair for a couple hours, checked out trashy magazines as well as talk to my buddy Alis.

I didn’t do anything crazy…just the standard-issue dark chocolatey brown I’ve been rocking for the past year.

Although, if I had an unlimited hair budget plan as well as all the time in the world to dedicate to hair upkeep, I would totally do an ombre hair look where the roots are super dark, as well as the mid-shaft as well as ends go into a light, pale cotton candy pink.

That concept has been moving me for months, however I don’t have the digestive tracts to truly go there. I mean, there’d be high maintenance, as well as it’s so damaging to bleach dark hair, as well as then dye it pink. I’m not prepared for that type of commitment now, ya know? It would be quite drastic.

Olin todella utelias kokeilemaan sitä keskipitkällä syvällä, koska olen ruskea tyttö, loppujen lopuksi, mutta se on vielä hieman tumma keskiläntä-talvella – nähnyt-aurinko-in- Kuukauden väritys. Uskon, että se sopii parhaiten NW / NC 50: lle sekä ylöspäin.
