Month: October 2022

dimineața! Ai o brânză puțin pentru a opta pentru cafeaua ta astăzi. LAUGH OUT LOUD. Poate niște gouda yummy cu o presare de mozzarella proaspătă?

Nu, serios, citatul de la vârf este doar parțial pentru tine. De asemenea, pentru mine, de când am crezut în ultima vreme despre a face o schimbare / ajustare a ocupației. Practic, îmi place machiajul, precum și blogul de apel, precum și nu am nici o intenție de ao opri vreodată, cu toate acestea încep să merg cu adevărat să merg undeva să lucrez …

Dar modificarea este înfricoșătoare, mai ales atunci când nu înțelegeți ce doriți să modificați încă!

Oricum, eu pun la îndoială adesea ceea ce trebuie să fie ca și pentru oamenii de viață online – nu neapărat fără îngrijorare – cu toate acestea, cu un puternic simț al funcției, precum și o înclinație naturală de a se concentra asupra tuturor lucrurilor care ar putea merge bine, în loc să se concentreze pe lucrurile care ar putea merge prost (ceea ce este ceea ce am tendința de a face). Ce nevoie de asta?

Crezi despre lucruri de genul asta? Te apleci spre crezând despre lucrurile minunate care s-ar putea întâmpla sau rău? Adesea cred că nu există nici o metodă posibilă de a anticipa exact cum se va ridica ceva până când veți lua un salt.

Da, simt mai mult Corny astăzi, precum și nu am avut încă suficientă cafea, așa că nu înțeleg dacă ceva ce tocmai am spus face orice tip de sens. Haha!

În povestirile din această săptămână …

Artist, precum și Mit Grad Ani Liu produce parfumuri care mirosul ca oamenii … în mod special indivizi pe care îi înțelegeți, precum și iubirea. Ea declară că și-a dat seama de o metodă de a explica pe cineva în miros pentru totdeauna, evocând astfel amintirile cu doar un whiff.

În această lună marchează cea de-a 75-a aniversare a Femeilor American Expert Baseball League, singura ligă de baseball expert în Istoria U.S., care a fugit din 1943 până în 1954. Motto-ul lor? “Joaca ca un om, arata ca o doamna.”

Când liga a început, aspectul feminin pe teren a fost o afacere uriașă, precum și jucătorii au fost necesare pentru a purta ruj. Liga a avut chiar o “școală de farmec”, care a fost condusă de Helena Rubinstein, o putere de apel populară la acea vreme.

Lucrul în saloane de frumusețe de unghii poate deveni mai sigur dacă o nouă cheltuială devine legislație la nivel federal.

De asemenea, ar avea nevoie (și acest lucru este mare) Institutul Național de Sănătate de Mediu și Științe Wellness pentru a raporta Congresului privind impactul de sănătate și wellness de lungă durată a substanțelor chimice în produsele de apel.

Când a fost întrebat despre asemănările dintre sticla de parfumuri Le Clasique, precum și noul parfum de corp Kim Kardashian West KKW, în loc să arunce umbra, el a coborât totul spunând: “Nu mi-am putut pune corpul [pentru o femeie parfum], așa că am pus un corp diferit. Ea a făcut corpul ei, așa că este diferit.

În țările din afara S.S., parfumurile pentru sugari, precum și copiii sunt obișnuiți.

Voting selfie from 2016. It appears as though I at least combed my hair in this one, ha ha! By the way, please talk some sense into me the next time I decide that getting bangs is a good idea, thanks.
Știai asta?? You go to your polling place, fill in your little boxes, get your sticker, and then snap a picture of yourself wearing said sticker.

Totally a thing!

PUBLICITATE

I’ve done it before and I’m sure I’ll do it again, although I didn’t take one last Tuesday because… long story, but El Hub got home late from work, so I had to dart out the door to reach the polling place. I didn’t have time to comb my hair or wash my face. I also had dried bits of baby barf on my sweater because I’d just gotten back from seeing Connor Claire at Vomit-pa-looza 2018. (Side note: She’s better now.)

Sigh… in some cases I feel like I’m in a competition with myself to see just how gross I’m prepared to be when I’m out in public, LOL. ?

Needless to say, I was feeling frazzled and sleep-deprived, and kinda weirdly antisocial because it had been the first time I’d left the house in two days, but yet the good lady who handed me my ballot said that I looked “very put together,” even though I many certainly wasn’t.

I think she was just being kind, so to that stranger who was working at the polling station on South Novato Blvd. last Tuesday, thank you for your random act of kindness. ?

atât de brânză într-o zi de luni!
Deci … Care este sondajul de luni?

Buna intrebare! Nu este, spre deosebire de numele său, un sondaj real. Este doar o listă de cinci întrebări aleatorii mult mai mult sau mai puțin pe care le-am postat pe acest blog în fiecare dimineață de luni pentru anii de gazili din trecut (mai mult de 10!). Îmi place să citesc răspunsurile și mă ajută să-mi iau săptămâna la un început minunat. ?

1. Gloss lipicios sau luciu non-lipicios?

Homie … Nu știu.

PUBLICITATE

2. Cea mai nouă obsesie de machiaj?

Deci, eu sunt tot despre găsirea unei alternative la concealerul sub ochi. Săptămâna trecută am încercat o fundație, o cremă BB și un corector de culoare și un om – a fost o aventură! (Voi posta un post despre asta mai târziu în această săptămână.)

Practic, a fost un hoot, dar totul până acum a confirmat cel mai mult că CSMETICS CC + Iluminare Crema de acoperire completă este Schtufful Freakin, până la alternativele de concealer sub ochi merg în bronz, apropo). Ca și ca o fundație dreaptă, cred că este nonsens, pentru că este prea strălucitor de fapt pentru a face pori, dar este atât de bun la strălucirea zonei sub ochi și ca o pick-me-up generală.

3. Îți place să mergi la petreceri?

Sigur, dar în aceste zile, trebuie să fiu cinstit … chiar depinde de cine merge și de unde se află. Sunt totul pentru întâlniri casual la casa unui prieten când 1) Îmi pot lua pantofii la ușă și 2) Nu trebuie să fiu spus unde este toaleta.

Dar dacă este o petrecere cu o grămadă de străini, nu am nimic în comun cu și probabil că nu aud niciodată din nou, o să trec. Prefer să citesc o carte pe canapeaua mea sau să văd fetele de aur.

4. Finalizați următoarea propoziție: “Aplicația Bună Eyeliner este totul despre …”

Acceptarea faptului că veți face greșeli, dar știind cum să le reparați.

Oh, și având o mână stabilă.

Și găsirea unei formule care funcționează pentru dvs., care este * TOTAL * CHEIE. Sunt destul de confortabil cu multe formule, dar cel mai bine acum sunt despre garnituri de creion pentru că de obicei nu îmi irită ochii.

5. Sunt rar greșit despre …

“Versuri de cântece 80 de ani. Dacă ar exista un spectacol de joc dedicat estimării melodiilor obscure din anii ’80, Mama ar fi curățat!

Aventuri în Lasagna fără gluten

Oh da!
Da, asta e * experimentul Lasagna fără gluten, și de fapt sa dovedit a-ok. Adică, o mulțime de brânză topită nu doare niciodată nimic, dar pastea în sine era destul de bună. Am folosit Pastele fără gluten Barilla și a gustat la fel ca o lasagna obișnuită! Oh, și de ce am uitat mereu că cu Lasagna un pic merge un drum lung? Acum am o tona de ea (serios suficient pentru a hrăni o armată mică de iubitori de machiaj), astfel încât unul dintre lucrurile de pe lista mea de astăzi este de a îngheța câteva felii.

looks great sufficient to eat! (But don’t.)

MBB’s “Fresh Friday” series takes a look at new beauty brands (and venerable O.G. brands that are new to me). Let’s find new makeup!

OK, so I like to believe that I’m NOT ruled by my stomach, buuuut the truth that the eyeshadow combination I rocked yesterday is called Berries & cream may or may not have something to do with why I like using it. ?

Berries & cream is from Dominique Cosmetics, a new-to-me indie makeup line by YouTuber Christen Dominique. Christen has just over four million subscribers, so she’s kinda Web famous (to put it mildly).

PUBLICITATE

Dominique Cosmetics has products spread out among three mini sub-collections, as well as each of the eyeshadow palettes in them are named after something delicious. There’s Berries & Cream, Latte as well as Lemonade).

YUM! A woman after my own food-lovin’ stomach heart.

I used the Berries & cream combination to lunch yesterday with a friend, who asked, “That, on your eyes? Are you using purple or burgundy?”

Swatches of the Berries & cream combination eyeshadows as well as matte liquid lipsticks

Wearing Creamy Matte liquid Lip in Plum Berry on my lips as well as the Berries & cream combination on my lids.

I believe the special sauce in Berries & cream is that it has both warm as well as awesome tomes, together with neutrals as well as brights, so the colors pop on the skin, however at the exact same time aren’t totally obnoxious.

I likewise such as this combination since I can get away with skipping primer when I utilize it.

STIU!

I’ve been doing that lately, as well as it’s been strangely freeing — not just since of the saved step, however likewise since it keeps my eye makeup from looking heavy. The shadows appear less structures as well as fussy, as well as I’ve been into that.

I usually do one of the bolder colors in the palette, like Cherry Juice or the blue shade, Blueberry Muffin (*smacks lips,* I’M SO HUNGRY), or the shimmery Cranberry shade, as a liner. then I’ll mix the matte browns in some kind of combination as well as throw that on my lids as well as crease.

Even without primer, these are simple to blend (no fallout). Plus, the purple/reddish shades don’t irritate my eyes, as well as the shadows lasts all the time with very little creasing as well as fading.

Dominique Cosmetics likewise has liquid lipsticks, too, for $18 each. I’ve tried a couple of them, as well as eh… I like exactly how they look in pics since they’ve got pigment for days, however they feel thick, dry super quickly, as well as they catch on my flakes.

They may work much better for you if your lip circumstance is smooth, which mine is not.

I’m using Creamy Matte liquid Lip in Creamy Pink on my lips.
I do like the Berries & cream Palette, though… It’s $44, which does seem kinda expensive, particularly thinking about that the pans in the combination look big however are truly only 0.04 ounces each. By comparison, the pans in a $54 metropolitan Decay naked combination (a similar formula) are 0.05 ounces.

But even though it’s a bit overpriced, I like the high quality as well as the colors.

If you’d like a better look at Dominique Cosmetics, you can inspect them out at Sephora.

Nu mă plâng. It’ll be sweatshirt weather condition soon enough. Anyway, to opt for this warm spell we’re having, I’ve been using proper warm weather condition bases, since — hi! — do you like it when your deal with melts off in the heat? I sure don’t. So, tinted moisturizers as well as BB as well as CC creams are in heavy rotation as of late, including this new CC by Chanel.

Ce e inauntru…

It’s only offered in five shades, as well as this is the second darkest. I’m presuming that the two shades book-ending 40 beige likewise have pink undertones as well, however I may test that theory at a Chanel counter.

I would wear this daily if it fit my skin tone better, since of the stunning satin surface as well as its pore-blurring power. It likewise feels SO great on my face, as well as it lasts all the time long (even with warm weather).

Keeping my fingers crossed that they release some warmer shades someday soon. You’re a lucky ducky if you have pink undertones as well as are team Chanel! I believe you’ll most likely like (maybe even love) this.

Um…can you clear out any space in your makeup drawer? If you’re a Shiseido fan, you might want to! The line is revamping their entire makeup LINE THIS SEPTEMBER. Rumor has it they’re trying to draw a lot more 20- and 30-somethings to the brand, and the revamp also indicates that a lot more than 100 products will be retired, so if there’s something you can’t live without, better stock up now before it’s gone baby, gone.

More proof that people from ye olden times loved makeup and perfume as much as we do — researchers recently found a sarcophagus of an ancient Roman woman from the 3rd century buried with a string of pearls, perfume bottles, a makeup palette and a small jar inscribed with a Latin phrase that indicates “good luck.”

There are legions of appeal lovers who like to make a Sephora pit stop before hitting up clubs, brunch, power lunches, what have you, and this is what the makeup artists and staffers really think of doing your makeup in the store.

For your botany moment of the day! — a tropical vine frequently known as the “lipstick plant,” Aeschynanthus radicans gets its name from the flower buds that peek out of dark-colored tubes that look like tubes of bright red lipstick.

You may have heard about these collagen-building “growth factors”: They were first discovered by two scientists back in the ’50s, and the discovery earned the duo a Nobel prize in 1986. Here’s what they are, what they do in skin care products, and where they come from.

If you were a teen or a tween in the ’90s, chances are you remember St. Ives Apricot Scrub. now it’s a fragrance and the rollerball you never knew you needed.

At Floris, a historic London perfumery that has been around considering that 1730, you can join the ranks of the royals and create your own scent. Floris created the official perfume for prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding — a warm, citrus-y unisex fragrance with notes of bergamot, orange blossom, ginger and green tea.

Speaking of fragrances, these bees make their own perfumes and carry them around with their legs (!).

Dude, nature is so freakin’ cool.

Natural appeal brand Captain Blankenship recently launched in Sephora and Target, and I’m intrigued. The founder, Jana Blankenship, started her line in her kitchen.

pointy but not *too* pointy, ya know what I mean?

Deci … Care este sondajul de luni?

Buna intrebare! Nu este, contrar numelui său, un sondaj real. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. ?

1. Last thing you bought for yourself?

After all the talk about private versus public leggings last week, I finally took the plunge and bought some leggings that I can actually — GASP! — wear outside the house. Like, in front of real live breathing people. HA HA HA! Oh, Karen. You’re a mess. Anyway, they’re these cute black leggings with mesh paneling and a mesh side pocket. They’re called the Holly pants by Senita.

2. Your top 5 movies of all time?

naș

Godfather II

Sunetul muzicii

Casablanca

Apocalypse now <—- although sometimes this gets switched out for other movies because it's so heavy and I can only watch it once every five or so years. sometimes I replace with Amy Heckerling's Clueless, which sounds kinda silly, I know…but it always makes me laugh, and I can watch it over and over again. Again, it’s a dialogue thing for me. I love the use of slang and how it doesn’t feel forced or fake. It’s just fun! And when it’s neither of those two, it’s dirty Dancing…because nobody puts baby in the corner. 3. speaking of movies, how do you feel about movies with ambiguous endings? SERIOS. NU POT. There was a time when I was cool with endings that didn’t tie stories up in a neat bow, but nowadays I am unabashedly team happy ? Final. I want resolution, I want the characters to get what they want, and I want to feel satisfied that the last 90 minutes weren’t for naught. I 100% know that this has to do with real life and how challenging “adulting” has been the past few years. I want — no, I need — to have that sense of escape, and to know that, on screen at least, everything is going to be alright. PUBLICITATE 4. pointy or round-toe shoes? Depends. If the shoes are flats (which I’m all about these days), then pointy toes, as long as they aren’t long or overly pointy. I like a bit of a point because that extra length makes me look taller, but when it's too pointy, 1) I feel very witch-y, and 2) I tend to trip over my shoes… Funnily enough, the tripping never happens when Sunt singur. It’s always when I’m in a crowded place surrounded by people. If there’s a heel, on the other hand/foot, I can go either way, but again, if the toe is pointy, I don’t want it to be witch-y pointy. 5. Eyeliner? Oh, heck yeah! Gotta tightline that mo-fo, homie. I’m still having a moment with Chanel mat Taupe;. It’s been my go-to for months. “Shoe fog” is a thing Apparently, I’ve been floating around in a thick shoe fog because I looked into my closet today and found these black patent-leather BCBG flats, which I’ve had for years but totally forgot about. Living in the same pair of cushion-y running shoes has taught me one thing — dressy flats aren’t all that comfortable. Or, at least, I haven’t found a pair yet (that last) that are comfy. I had a pair of leopard-print Dr. Scholl’s (Don’t hate! They were super cute.) a few years ago, but they fell apart after a year. So anyway, I’m on a mission to find a cute pair of tan flats for fall. If you’ve got any suggestions, holla at a cat lady. In other news, Monday. How’s your’s going? ?
