MAKEUP FROM THE YEAR 2000! This makeup look is from 17 years ago. I was de-cluttering the books in my bedroom last weekend (KON MARI 4 LIFE) and found my old copy of Kevyn Aucoin’s Face Forward, which I’ve had for eons.. Old fave byKevyn Aucoin
DO YOU EVER REPLACE THE PADS ON YOUR LASH CURLER? The Troy Surrat Lash Curler on the left and the Shiseido Lash Curler on the right. I was cleaning my Surrat lash curler the other day and wondering about this, because I’m fairly certain — and this may sound totally gross, depending on your opinion on the subject — that I’ve only done it once or (maybe) twice in my entire life. RAINBOW NAILS AND BRIGHT LIPS, FUNFETTI CAKE, AND THE MAC It’s a rainbow of color. For the record, it’s very, very awkward to take a picture of yourself that has your hands in it and have it look natural! Why do I feel like my paws look bigger than my head here? 🙄. I haven’t worn rainbow nails in a minute, but I absolutely HAD TO after we rented Promising Young Woman last weekend. It’s a thriller starring Carey Mulligan as Cassie, a young CHANEL LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW SHEER COLOUR STICKS: YOUR Current cream blush obsessionthe Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Sticks ($45 each) Every day after Connor and I have lunch, we go outside to play on the grassy knoll in the front yard common area here in our little condo complex, and almost every day we go out there, I’ve got some degree of craziness on my face — mismatched eyeshadow, false lashes with the wingspan of a bird HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHANGE YOUR NAIL POLISH? I went through a phase where I painted my nails multiple times a day I had a lot of time on my hands! Lately it’s been every couple days, depending on whether or not I get bored with the color. MAC COSMETICS AND THE TWILIGHT MOVIE: DREAMS DO COME TRUE SWEET! I just found out from my friends at MAC that they did the makeup for the upcoming Twilight film. Here’s an interview with Jeanne Van Phue, Makeup Department Head for Twilight, featuring some insight into the makeup direction of the movie.. Q: What was the process for creating the various characters’ looks? HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG FOR MANICURES AND PEDICURES Okay, I will preface this by saying that I have no children so therefore take my opinions with a grain of salt, but I have always thought of manicures and pedicures in a salon as something for adults, teens, and pre-teens. MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG A beauty blog blooming with fresh makeup reviews, swatches and beauty tips from your friendly neighborhood beauty addict CLINIQUE REVIEWS, SWATCHES AND PICTURES ON MAKEUP AND You know this is one of my favorite movies, right? This is the most hopeful I’ve felt in a long, long time. Because I didn’t want to forget how happy I feel, I put on some fun temporary tattoos by Tattly and some makeup to commemorate the day. I’m wearing a mish-mosh of classic NARS eyeshadows (the Cordura and Isolde duos, and Blondie, Biarritz and Abysinnia) and a few new-to-me products 10-MINUTE MAKEUP MUST-HAVES: CLINIQUE BLUSHING BLUSH Love this blush for fast, fresh makeup! The lipstick is MAC Velvet Teddy, and the eyeshadow is Clinique Lots o’ Latte, by the way. The 10-Minute Makeup Must-Haves series shows off some of *the best* makeup for speedy (but sensational!) skin, eyes, cheeks and lips.. Fiveminute, 10 minute

Sometimes I’ll reach for Sable when I want sultry, smoldering eyes but don’t want to have to blend (and blend and blend) a black eyeshadow like Carbon; other times, I’ll just line my eyes quickly with MAC Teddy Eye Kohl, smudge, and then pat Sable on top for a quick and easy,put-together look.

MAKEUP REVIEWS, BEAUTY PRODUCT REVIEWS ON MAKEUP AND FYI, Honest Beauty’s liquid liner is comparable. It also has a wand with a flexible tip, a similarly rich black color without any weird undertones, and it’s $9.99.

MAKEUP REVIEWS, BEAUTY PRODUCT REVIEWS ON MAKEUP AND FYI, Honest Beauty’s liquid liner is comparable. It also has a wand with a flexible tip, a similarly rich black color without any weird undertones, and it’s $9.99. That said, the Beauty Beauty one is a smidgen darker and smoother, IMO, and consequently a little easier to use, but both are quite good.WANDER BEAUTY

I’M SUPER OBSESSED WITH ATHLETA WORKOUT LEGGINGS November 21st, 2019 by Karen3 Comments
These stretchy pants take it to the next level. Why didn’t I heed their advice sooner? I should’ve known the ladies in my HIIT class — the women who lift heavy, run fast and push me every time I step into the gym — would steer me in the right direction. For years I heard them rave about Athleta workout leggings , but I never considered buying a pair for myself because they’re like $100 a pop! Super. Crazy. Expensive. However…when something is good, and I mean really, REALLY good, the calculus may prompt me to go there. And I totally went there. What ultimately pushed me over the edge was a secondhand pair of Athleta tights my friend Nicol gave me. She teaches the HIIT class I take, and she happened to have an extra pair that didn’t fit her, and she passed ’em to me. First time I tried them on — and immediately after I stuffed everything I could into the pockets, of which there are SO MANY — I started to wonder if I’d ever wear another pair of pants again, because _daaaaang…_ They were so soft. Then, of course, I bent over in the mirror to see if they passed thesquat test…
They totally did. No underwear peeking through! Next, I wore them to class and COULD NOT STOP STARING AT MY BOOTY IN THE MIRROR, because the pants somehow transformed it into J. Lo’s(#GOALS), LOL!
I didn’t have to pull up my pants once, not once, during the entire class. Also, the waistband stayed up and held in my tum-tum the entire time, and the material stayed intact and didn’t stretch out at all, either, so no baggy knees. When that class was done, I knew it… I’d be drinkin’ the Athleta Kool-Aid with the other girls soon. Later that week, I ended up going to the Athleta store in Corte Madera to buy my first pair, because someone in class mentioned there was a sale happening. I left with the camo ones up top (yup, they’re stillon sale
!).
When I told the sales associate that it was my first Athleta purchase, she told me all about their generous return policy (if you work out in your clothes and don’t love them, you can still return them with a receipt), then gave me a discount on top of the sale for being a newcustomer.
SWEET!
If you’re into working out, or otherwise particular about your stretchy pants (as am I), I think you’re going to love these. I’m officially saving up for my next pair. Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,Karen

CAT EYE FLICKS AND BRIGHT LIPS (THE PURPLE EDITION): A WEDNESDAYMAKEUP FORMULA
November 20th, 2019 by Karen9 Comments
Purple power!
Question for you… How do you feel about formula dressing? LOL! Pardon me for a moment, but I had to laugh there, because “formula dressing”? Sounds like something you put on a salad.But I digress…
If you’ve flipped through the pages of a fashion magazine in the past decade, you may have read talk of having an “outfit formula,” something you can always turn to when you want to look sharp. Maybe it’s a white t-shirt, high-waisted jeans and a black blazer, or maybe it’s something else. Once you figure out a formula that works for you, then you can tweak it ever-so-slightly (perhaps by replacing the black blazer with a black motorcycle jacket), but essentially, you go back to the same formula over and over because it works. I’m a HUGE fan of translating this idea for the realm of makeup, and I do “makeup formulas” all the time. I’m wearing one of mine in these pics — cat eye flicks and brightlips.
It’s quick and easy and gives you a lot of bang for your makeup buck, IMO. Also, crucially, it doesn’t make me think too hard, and I’m not reinventing any wheels, because I know that both of the main elements in the look work for me. Still, there’s plenty of room within the look to _jooj_ it up in different ways. Basically, I was in the mood to wear purple, so I started with a smudgy purple cat flick (which I did with a matte dark purple eyeshadow and an angled brush). I like the whole smudgy/diffused effect because the imperfect edge leaves lots of room for error. I can fudge it a little (or a lot), and even though it might not look perfect, it’s usually passable, which is good enough when I’m in a hurry. Next, I matched it with a bright matte purple lipstick, and side note: I just thought of another version of this I could do… How about layering a shiny purple gloss on top of this lippie? I think that would be super cool too! This is just one of the makeup formulas I use often. Apply, lather,rinse and repeat!

BAY AREA BEAUTY LOVE: ESUM November 19th, 2019 by Karen4 Comments
With from the Bay!
Shout-out to San Francisco, my former home, and the current home of ESUM Cosmetics, an as-yet under-the-radar Bay Area beauty brand.
ESUM has been around for about 10 years, but I just recently discovered them. They have a line of brushes and makeup pencils made for industry pros and makeup enthusiasts. I really like their specialty eye brushes , which range in pricefrom $18-58.
They have these precision eye brushes with small, unusually shaped (but useful!) brush heads, so, for instance, if you only have a little lid space, or you don’t have a deep crease (like, if you’ve got slightly hooded eyes like I do), they’re fab for blending and applying eyeshadow, and for fine detail work. I’ve been all about the W36 and T37, both of which have a smaller-than-usual angled brush head, so they’re awfully handy when I have to blend in a small space, like in the outer or inner v, or when I want to keep my eyeshadow low and tight on the crease. It’s all about the details. I’ve also tried a couple of their workhorse tapered blending brushes, namely the medium size G34 (which is slightly smaller than a MAC 224) and the small S33, which excel at placing and blending shadow exactly where you want it to go. Along with their brushes, ESUM also sells a small selection of makeup pencil — a few dual-ended lip linersand eyeliners
(silky and long-wearing, they feel a lot like the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-Ons), and a handful of skinny twist-up brow pencils(they’re similar
to the awesome NARS ones). There are 4 comments on this post. Leave yours.Categories: ESUM

WHAT THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR? November 19th, 2019 by Karen8 Comments
There’s a pecan pie around here somewhere. I think it was on the counter…or maybe I just ate it before the actual meal, HA HA HA! Thanksgiving is almost here, and with it, our traditions. One such tradition that absolutely MUST happen in my family on Thanksgiving is the eating of the pecan pie… I freakin’ love pecan pie. It’s what we had at Thanksgiving when I was growing up… I mean, sometimes we’d also have a pumpkin pie up in the mix, but really nobody would touch it. My mom would always get pecan, and you would know if my dad had been tasked with buying the pie because he would inevitably mistakingly ONLY buy pumpkin and forget the pecan… But my mom always knew what was up. It’s funny, though, because as much as I love pecan pie, it seems weird to have it any other time of year. The only time I actually consume copious amounts of it is on Thanksgiving, and I look forward to it every single year. I also look forward to spending time with my family here in the Bay Area, and whenever possible, with my family in Hawaii. It’s always nice to have a block of time to reconnect with the people who mean a lot to us, and that we don’t get to see too often anymore as grownups, and to unwind over food and fun. We also always watch some football, and ya know…while it’s not super high up on my list, I still look forward to sitting around and talking while a game plays in the background. Oh! — I also look forward to having seconds, a.k.a. “round two of the Thanksgiving feast.” Like, you know, everybody eats, then pauses to take a break (and maybe take a quick cat nap on the couch), and then a few hours later you come back for the second round. I gotta admit…I do love going back for that second (and perhaps third!) plate on Thanksgiving. How about you? What Thanksgiving traditions are you looking forward tothis year?

Warning: do not attempt to picture an almond hunched in a doorway, puffing away at a cigarette when you think of the words, “smoked almond,” because once you see something like that in your mind’s eye, you’ll wonder 1) what would ever possess an almond to smoke in the first place, and 2) why said almond wouldn’t know that smokingwas bad for it.
Every day for the past week before my shift has started at the bakery, I sit in my car in the parking lot and apply a layer of this beautifully bright rosy brown lipstick on my lips, and every time I do this, I say the same thing to myselfin the mirror.
“SO PIGMENTED!”
I’m talking intensity to the extreme. Totally an NC42, man! And yet despite its intensity, Smoked Almond isn’t one of those tricky lippies that is SO saturated that it becomes a pain in the bum and you end up needing a PhD in chemistry to apply it. You can still totally do it freehand, straight from the tube, while half-asleep, WITHOUT a lip liner or brushes or a Christmas miracle, for that matter. Smoke Almond’s creamy consistency practically melts onto lips the moment it touches them. No dragging whatsoever. Just a_smooooove_ glide.
My lips tend to dry out and practically shout, “MOAR moisture!” from the rooftops, but Smoked Almond, which has MAC’s Amplified formula, has enough hydration to keep ’em happy all day long. Smoked Almond on my lips This is a fantastic everyday/daytime color to keep around if you have many rosy or rosy brown blushes like NARS Amour or Charlotte Tilbury Ecstasy in your collection. It’s also long-wearing and doesn’t move or scoot once you lay down a layer, and it feels lighter than a kitty whisker kiss on your cheek. Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,Karen
