The new restricted edition $325 (yes, that’s the price) NARS Cult Survival Kit
Oh, NARS… You completely feel me dawg. I like exactly how your new splurge-arific Cult Survival Kit, in spite of costing $325, doesn’t really include anything one may expect to discover in a genuine life survival kit.

No water purification tablets, matches, heirloom seeds or weapons.

But you DO get full-sized versions of 11 NARS products.

Granted, would you truly be bring a elegant white lacquered box full of makeup goodies into the sunset while roving gangs or zombies were chasing you? most likely not…although I might, since that’s exactly how I roll.

Should the world autumn apart, I’d like to wear a bit gloss — just a bit — up until the zombies eat my brains.

Even at $325 for this kit, you are saving a bit money, since if you were to purchase each of these products separately, it would expense you $361, so not only do you score $36 in savings, you likewise get a trendy keepsake box.

Ce e inauntru?
OK, so what have we got up in this mix? To start, two blushes — matte red display A as well as golden peach Orgasm (yes…Orgasm).

There are likewise three lip products, namely Schiap Lipstick, which is my hot pink enthusiast best now (I’m using it in the picture below); Turkish pleasure (an oldie however a goodie); as well as Cruella velvet Matte Lip Pencil.

NARS Schiap Lipstick
NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight
NARS velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella
Attempting to make it through my hot mess hair while using Orgasm Blush, Schiap Lipstick, the black side of Pandora for my winged liner, through Veneto to tightline, as well as Audacious Mascara on my lashes; I likewise utilized Laguna to bronze as well as the Light Reflecting Powder to set my foundation.
For eyes, you get through Veneto larger Than online eyeliner (super dark as well as SO creamy), Black Moon Audacious Mascara (review here) as well as the black as well as white Pandora Eyeshadow Duo.

NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Pandora
Where has Pandora been all my winged liner life, yo? That black shade! It’s a true black color with a matte finish, as well as I’m loving it for soft, smudgy feline eyes.

As for deal with products in this kit, huge surprise! — great ol’ Laguna Bronzer…

NARS Laguna Bronzer
Oh! — as well as NARS Light Reflecting setting Powder Pressed, which I’m starting to like now, however I just felt so-so about when it very first debuted.

NARS Light Reflecting setting Powder Pressed
Unlike many translucent pressed powders, it’s very packed down (kinda like the double intensity Eyeshadows as well as Blushes), as well as when it’s on the skin, you can’t even tell you’re using deal with powder whatsoever since of exactly how fine the grains are, so it’s practically undetectable.

It eliminates radiate as well as adds a extremely natural-looking, faintly radiant finish, particularly when you utilize it to set the NARS velvet Matte Skin Tint I’m using on my skin in the picture above.

Monoi Body glow II
You likewise get Monoi Body Oil II, which is the very best scent, OMG! It smells like a prohibited charming rendezvous late one night on a lovely Hawaiian beach…

Actually, it smells like tiare flowers, LOL!

It’s moisturizing, too. I like putting it on moist skin after I get out of the shower.

The lip products
The eyeshadows as well as blushes
Swatches of the eyeliner, mascara as well as setting powder
I like that NARS chosen deal with as well as lip products for the set that you might utilize everyday as well as that work well together, like you might wear Orgasm blush with Schiap Lipstick or Orgasm with Turkish pleasure Gloss. Or, you might do display A blush with the Cruella Lip Pencil.

A bronzer, a setting powder, a black liner, a mascara, a nude gloss, a red lipstick, among other things… There’s a great deal of makeup meat in this set as well as extremely bit filler.

There’s only one thing in right here that I can’t truly see myself utilizing on the daily, as well as that’s the bright red display A Blush, since it takes a bit much more blending than I have time for best meow (Tabs as well as Connor keep me on 24-hour call).

For anybody wanting to up their NARS game with a excellent choice of the brand’s daily classics, this is a extravagant splurge, as well as it’ll be offered solely at Nordstrom as well as nordstrom.com starting July 1st.

Well, it isn’t precisely a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past nine (!) years. (Este ca un kickstart pentru creierul tău.) Întotdeauna mi-a plăcut să citesc răspunsurile dvs. în comentarii, precum și sper că vă place să le citiți pe Mine.

1. Which do you prefer: cool-toned red lipsticks or warm-toned red lipsticks? as well as do you have a specific preferred one?

Girl, don’t make me choose! It’s as well hard!!!

PUBLICITATE

OK, um…I’ll go with warm-toned red lipsticks, since my skin tone is warm, even though I likewise like using cool-toned colors.

As for a preferred one, that would be none other than MAC woman Danger. It’s warm with an orangey undertone — a bit sassy, a bit vintage.

Add winged liner, as well as you might be kickin’ it with a pack of ’50s greasers, hangin’ with Audrey Hepburn’s celebration crowd in breakfast at Tiffany’s, or jammin’ with a present-day rockabilly woman gang. whatever goes.

I will state this, though, about cool-toned reds: MWAHH! I like them, particularly on warm-toned skin. There’s just something about the contrast of, like, a bluish red on warm skin that makes it look more…3D as well as dramatic. sometimes warm reds can type of blend into warm-toned skin, ya know?

I dunno… It truly depends upon my mood, I guess.

2. exactly how easily do you blush?

Not readily, ’cause I’m a great client (haha, in my mind), however I’ve been told by good friends that I blush easily.

3. If you might online permanently in a specific decade, which decade would you select as well as why?

I definitely wouldn’t pick the ‘80s, since even though I like ‘80s music…the huge hair was just as well problematic.

And no to the ‘70s, as well, since I can’t keep in mind them.

And the early 2000s? Hello, super low-rise jeans! No, never again.

So, I’ll go with the ’90s, partially since I’ve been feeling nostalgic for them lately. I did a great deal of growing up in that era. things seemed easier then…

Gosh, that sounded so cliché, haha! however things were easier for me back then, as well as I like the music as well as the fashion, although I’m not crazy about the makeup… There was A great deal of brown as well as matte. It bores me to tears, however I grew up using it.

They weren’t my preferred makeup decade, to be honest.

4. (FILL IN THE BLANK) modifications everything.

A great cat.
Money (to quote Cyndi Lauper!).
Atitudinea ta.
A comfortable bra.

5. using sequins during the day: a do or a don’t?

Definitely a do. Hell, go for head-to-toe sequins! Why the hell not? I like sparkles.

If I had my way, everybody would be using sequins every day, all the time long. I believe it would make the world a happier place. If Blanche Devereux can work it, why can’t you?!

But seriously, I believe for most people, the key for daytime wear is to go with just one sequined piece at a time, like sequined skinny denim with a ordinary white shirt. I’d totally rock that right now.

Note to self: look for a sequined jacket.

About that pic at the top…

Somebody at expense plus world Market gets my sense of humor since the kitchen area towel in the top pic made me fracture up SO hard. I must have appeared like a crazy person standing there chuckling in the store in front of the towels.

Hey, a great laugh is a excellent method to begin the day, right?

So. Foarte. Gravidă.

That’s exactly how I feel all the time long now, all the time. So uncomfortable as well as pregnant.

Baby woman is 28 weeks along now! Yup, my li’l sidekick as well as I have been together for seven months, which to me is type of unreal because, 1), where did all that time go? — and, 2), this is practically the house stretch (she’s due in early March)!

So, at the doctor’s office this week for my checkup, my doc did this old-school technique with a paper measuring tape to determine exactly how numerous weeks along I am, however it was much more for fun than seriousness since she’d already taken measurements with the sonogram.

With the paper measuring tape, though, she put one end at the bottom of le bump, best at my pelvis, then took the tape up over my tummy button (which is less of a tummy button these days as well as much more of a smooth tummy spot, however I’ll get to that in a sec) as well as over my tum to the top of le bump, just below my breasts. Amazingly enough, the tape determined 28 inches, corresponding to 28 weeks along, so in some cases those old-school methods still work!

Tare nu?

So…fascinating thing about tummy buttons as well as pregnancy, as well as I don’t understand why this never occurred to me before, however when your tum expands to otherworldly proportions, it can push your tummy button from an “innie” to an “outie.”

Yeah, hello, Captain Obvious! however I had no idea. as well as it seems to have happened, seriously, overnight. WHOA!

Mine’s still borderline innie…but that innie isn’t going to be an innie much longer.

Aaand, you wanna understand something gross? Of program you do. Over the program of all of this tummy button outing, I’ve discovered stuff in there…like lint as well as a small sphere of what may have been feline hair. Nu sunt sigur.

STIU! So gross, however on the positive side, this is now the cleanest my tummy button has ever been.

Another thing…I’m having a truly difficult time focusing these days, as well as I get overwhelmed easily. I haven’t been publishing as much for the past week or so, however not since I haven’t been trying. whatever has just been slower going than usual.

I sit at my desk or in front of the video camera for a video, as well as the words just don’t come as quickly as they utilized to (or, um…at all). It’s either some type of pregnancy brain fog, and/or distractions because, yeah, stuff on my mind.

So whatever takes longer than usual, however I’m still here. Still chuggin’ along.

Oh, as well as the crying? Seriously, I don’t even know, however I cry at least when a day, which I assumption is just pregnancy hormones. It feels like PMS turnt up a gazillion notches.

Um…this is most likely a great area to state something about the attire I’m wearing.

You may keep in mind the white Caslon t-shirt from my 18-week bump view post. Well, the leggings are H&M maternity, as well as the boots are the Susanna Boots by Bare Traps. The over-the-knee socks I’m wearing, though, are such a pain in the @ss. I got them since they were on sale at Nordies and, you know, ’90s nostalgia.

Back in the day I used similar thigh-high socks with a bit a-line skirt (if you’ve ever seen Clueless, they’re like what Cher as well as her team wore), however I easily failed to remember exactly how really, truly frustrating the socks are/were since I have to keep pulling them up every five minutes.

Oh, as well as the sweatshirt is one from Nordstrom last year. (Or was it the year before? I can’t keep in mind anything best now…)
