Makeup samt klageblogg Monday Poll, Vol. 206

Fortsett å se opp …

Du lurer kanskje på, “Så hva er det i mandag, men ikke noe?”
Vel, det er ikke mye av en meningsmåling. Det er mye mer bare en jevnlig utviklende (devolving?), Noe tilfeldig notering av bekymringer jeg har satt ut til besøkende hver mandag morgen de siste fire årene. Jeg har alltid vært glede i å lese svarene dine i kommentarene, så vel som jeg håper du gleder deg til å lese min.

Humør:

Vel, jeg er på cusp mellom masete så vel som glad. Jeg har slått en kald med å vurdere det i går, så vel som fortsatt føles litt ned, så jeg skal prøve å ta det enkelt i dag.

Hvordan føler du deg om Teal Eyeliner?

Jeg føler meg fantastisk om det. Ikke så mye nå i midten av vinteren, men absolutt om våren så vel som sommer, spesielt parret med oransje lepper.

Navnet på en parfyme du eier, men aldri på deg?

Chanel nr. 5. Jeg fikk en flaske som en gave noen år tilbake, så vel som jeg alltid har likt duften, men jeg føler fortsatt ikke heller at den passer meg ennå. Jeg holder det, skjønt, siden jeg ser ut til å like det mye mer, så vel som mye mer hvert år.

Har du noen gang lagt merke til …

… Alle annonsene Catering til Feline Women i Genuine Basic Magazine? Seriøst er det nesten som alle andre siden har noe å lage med kitty kull, våt mat eller eliminere feline hår fra sofaen.

Jeg antas at deres leser inkluderer en høy del av feline kvinner (selv inkludert, haha!).

En duft som minner deg om ungdomsårene dine?

Bath & Body Works Juniper Breeze … Jeg må ha gått med 50 liter av de tingene.

Hvor er ditt foretrukne sted å lurte?

Enten nede på sofaen eller oppe på gulvet på kontoret mitt (ved siden av faner, selvfølgelig).

Morsomt, men jeg skjønte bare at jeg aldri virkelig nap i sengen min.

Hva er det aller beste med mandager?

Jeg liker konseptet med mandager som en ny start.

Hvordan er håret ditt i dag?

Ikke verst. Jeg justert den i går, så vel som ikke har vasket den ennå, så det er ikke frizzy, som er bra, så vel som bangene mine oppfører seg (jeg tror på å vokse dem ut).

Hva er den mest avgjørende tingen du ser etter i en lipgloss i tillegg til farge?

Fuktighet. Jeg krever en tonn av det siden leppene mine blir ekstremt tørre.

Ukentlige mål:

Jeg tempererer mine ambisjoner denne uken, så jeg vil bare ta det lett, få mye hvile, så vel som å holde dette kjølig i sjakk, om mulig.

ANNONSE

Hva med deg? Nøyaktig hvordan har du det i morges? Hadde du en flott helg? Jeg håper du var i stand til å skjære ut litt “meg” tid for deg selv (det er viktig).

Tabs sitter her ved siden av skrivebordet mitt og nyter fuglene i eiketreet utenfor vinduet, så vel som purr-chirping opp en storm!

Jeg ønsker at jeg følte meg litt bedre ideell nå, så vel som vi kanskje alle henger ut i dag, så vel som gjør noe morsomt (som et museum, en sminkebord eller en film), men vurderer at innovasjon ikke heller har fått oss der ennå , for nå i det minste må mandagsundersøkelsen gjøre.

For å fullføre mandagsundersøkelsen, bare kopier det som følger med listen, samt lim den inn med svarene dine i kommentarene.

Den fabelaktige allsidige Mac flatter meg Pearlmatte Deal med pulver lokker kvinner som liker koraller

ved hjelp av Mac Pearlmatte Deal med pulver ($ 29), fra den nye Archie’s Women Collection, rundt ansiktet mitt
Åh, Mac Pearlmatte Deal med pulver i flatter meg … de tingene jeg ville forelede. Jeg ville bære din letterman jakke på 90 graders vær, selv om det er tre størrelser så godt for meg. Jeg vil komponere deg som brev, old-skole stil, så vel som glide dem i skapet ditt. Jeg vil la deg vinne på Scrabble (mesteparten av tiden), så vel som alltid gi deg den siste delen av pizza.

Med smigre meg, får jeg den følelsen at Mac forsøkte å lokke tilbake kvinnene som falt i som med Shell Pearl Appeal Powder fra Liberty of London Collection.

Jeg var en av de damene, så vel som til denne dagen! – Shell Pearl er en av mine all-time-foretrukne Mac-produkter (her er en gammel video hvor jeg snakker om det; inspiser nøyaktig hvor mørkt håret mitt var da da!).

Flattere meg er søte korallhjerter gir den integrerte fargen en litt rosa tone, så det er ikke en død-på Dupe for Shell Pearl lenger (tror søstre, mot tvillinger). Men med mindre du har preternatural, er superhuman feline øyne, muligheter at selv om du er den mest dedikerte Mac Aficionado denne siden av Rockies, vil du ikke kunne se forskjellen fra en armlengde unna.

Jeg liker det.

Jeg liker det så mye at hvis jeg skulle få en tekst fra Ryan Gosling ideell på dette ekstremt øyeblikk – “Hei K. Du, meg, sør for Frankrike i helgen? JA NEI?” – Jeg ville ta med meg, på grunn av den myke, satin, lysende lyset, det gir huden min, så vel som pore- og fine line diffuserende krefter. som ungdommens fontene i en panne.

Og som den som er litt irriterende kvinne i yogaklasse som uanstrengt glir fra nåtid til presentere som menneskelig origami (har jeg noen gang påpekt at jeg suger på yoga?), Flattere meg er oh-så fleksibel. Jeg kan bære den som en highlighter, en øyeskygge eller til og med blandet med fundament eller tonet fuktighetskrem.

Cream Soda Powder Blush til venstre, så vel som flatter meg Pearlmatte Deal med pulver til høyre
Noen ganger vil jeg til og med buffere alt over min avtale med som Bobbi Brown lysingen fullfører pulver fra den nye Shimmer & Glow-samlingen, som jeg trodde på aller første ville være “for mye”, men hvis jeg buffer det lett med en pulverbørste, Jeg lover jeg ser en 27 år gammel Karen som ser tilbake på meg i speilet.

Pearlmatte Deal med pulver ($ 29)

Coral spiller en stor funksjon i Archie’s Women Betty Under-samling. Mac har det i øyet, leppen, kinnet samt nagelprodukter, men hvis jeg måtte velge bare en korall blant hva som helst fra utgivelsen, ville flatere meg være min.

I’ve always took pleasure in reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you take pleasure in reading mine.

Your preferred location for dessert?

Without a doubt, Pinkberry! I miss it already…

Scariest motion picture you’ve ever seen?

KJÆRE VENE! I desire I might go back in time to when I was four years old as well as un-see Salem’s Lot. never having seen that motion picture would have saved me lots of a sleepless night.

Weekly goals:

Four appeal Pick-Me-Ups From René Furterer, Repêchage, Dolce & Gabbana and Estée Lauder

kicking off the week with a stunning start! Well, trying to at least.

Last weekend, ugh! — absolutely floored me. That two-day migraine felt like a symphony of jackhammers in my head, and it was rough. It’s gone now, thank goodness, and I’m feeling a lot more like myself again.

ANNONSE

So, earlier today, just as I was about to jump back into the pet assisting grind, I thought, “Ya know what? What I need ideal now is to do something that makes me feel really, really great, even if it’s just for a half an hour.”

I needed a appeal pick-me-up, so I made a cup of chamomile tea, grabbed a few new fave appeal products from René Furterer, Repêchage, Dolce & Gabbana and Estée Lauder, and told Tabs that I’d back to work in a few.

René Furterer Karité intense Nourishing Mask

René Furterer Karité intense Nourishing Mask ($46), available now at salons, appeal stores and online
First buy of business: a hot shower and René Furterer’s Karité intense Nourishing Mask ($46 for a 6.93-ounce jar), a five-minute deep conditioning treatment for dry hair that smoothes and hydrates with a mix of fair-trade shea butter and plant oils.

I just started using it last week, and I think it’s the reason why I had a series of near-epic hair days — like, the best I’ve had in months. Karité adds body, shine and leaves my hair smelling like lilies. Jeg elsker det!

Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask

Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask ($38), available now at spas and online
Have I pointed out that I’ve been on a face mask kick? I don’t know, but there’s something about a good face mask that gives me…hope, LOL! I’m also a big fan of sitting on my butt and doing absolutely nothing while I wait for a mask to work its magic.

My skin’s been a little dry lately (you know, ’cause winter) so after I jumped out of the shower, I applied a layer of Illuminating cream Mask for normal to dry Skin ($38 for a 2-ounce tube) by Repêchage, an under-the-radar brand actually carried in spas all over the world. Their whole line consists of products with “nutrient-rich seaweed” harvested off the Brittany coast of France.

After 10 minutes, I tissued off the mask and could nearly hear my skin sighing with relief. Ahh…

Dolce & Gabbana Desire

Dolce & Gabbana desire Eau de Parfum ($93), available now at Dolce & Gabbana counters and online
If I could, I’d hug every single one of the perfumers over at Dolce & Gabbana. I feel like they get me, ya know (says the girl who wore Light Blue on her wedding day)?

Desire’s, a de-lovely fruity floral, is their newest scent ($93 for a 1.6-ounce bottle). It lasts all day long for me and brings to mind overseas adventures, exploring foreign cities at night with a new love.

The official fragrance notes include…

Top notes: Mandarin, lychee, bergamot and Lily of the Valley

Middle notes: Madonna lily, Indian Tuberose, jasmine and plum nectar

Base notes: Vanilla-infused caramel, sandalwood, musk and cistus labdanum (a resin from a Mediterranean shrub)

One spritz and I felt like a new girl.

Estée Lauder French nude Collection nail Lacquers in Bittersweet and So Vain

Estée Lauder’s French nude Collection nail Lacquers in Bittersweet on the left and So Vain on the ideal ($20 each), available now at Estée Lauder counters and online
I wrapped up my appeal improve today with a quick at-home polish change using two Pure color nail Lacquers ($20 each) from Estee Lauder’s new French Nudes, a five-piece summer collection of neutral shades. I painted my fingers with creamy dark brown Bittersweet and my toes with rosy beige So Vain.

If you can, please take some time today — even if it’s just a 10-minute break with a cup of tea — to do something that makes you feel good. It’s important, you know?

Sminke samt sjarm blogg mandag avstemning, vol. 236

You may be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Vel, det er ikke mye av en meningsmåling. Det er mye mer bare en kontinuerlig utvikling (devolving?), Noe tilfeldig notering av bekymringer jeg har satt ut til besøkende hver mandag morgen de siste fire årene. Jeg har alltid glad i å lese svarene dine i kommentarene, så vel som jeg håper du gleder deg til å lese min.

Humør:
Overwhelmed! — as well as desperately trying to stay calm. I woke up on edge this morning since I didn’t get whatever I wished to get done last weekend.

Geez…and now my heart’s racing after typing that sentence. I much better do my deep-breathing exercises!

Tilbake til skolen! Where is (or was) your preferred location to study?
Back in high school, I did many of my studying in my room. It was quiet, comfy as well as totally free of distractions — no computer or phone, believe it or not (this was the early ’90s).

Then in college, I typically alternated between the library as well as my room. Some late nights, though, I’d go to this peaceful 24-hour research study space on school we called “the morgue.” I’ve always been quickly distracted, so I requirement peaceful locations to study, depending upon the subject.

On unusual occasions, as well as only when the subject was math, for some reason, I’d do my homework at a cafe.

Again, exactly how do you feel now about boots with fringe?
Still undecided. I saw a couple of pairs at Target last Friday that I believed might look adorable on some people, however I don’t understand if I’m one of ’em…

Vi får se. I may modification my mind at DSW later today. I’m believing about making a pit stop there after work since shoes always calm me down…

We’re much more than halfway to 2013. What are three things you’d like to achieve by the end of this year?
Unsurprisingly, many of mine have to finish with getting the condo in order. STILL, after much more than three years here, I have an unfurnished dining room, so 1), I want to get some frickin’ furniture (YARGH!!), 2) organize my office, thereby making me less prone to fits of rage borne out of disorganization, as well as 3) get Tabs a new feline tower (one that isn’t falling apart at the seams).

When are at your most/least productive?
I feel at my finest from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. as well as my worst from about 4 p.m. videre.

If you were a breed of cat, what breed would you be?
A Ragdoll! Fluffy, simple going as well as developed for love? indication me up.

Best location to get a cup of coffee in your town?
This will most likely noise awfully unoriginal, however Starbucks brews a imply cup ’round here.

Which reminds me — their pumpkin lattes are the bomb dot com! I may have to get one of those today…

Do you view any type of late-night talk shows?
I utilized to, however not so much anymore. I went with a David Letterman phase in college since that’s what everybody I understood watched, however now, reality be told, I’m typically in bed. Plus, I figure if something truly funny or fascinating transpires, I’ll hear about it the complying with day online.

When was the last time you viewed a sunset?
I believe about a month ago. The windows on one side of our location deal with west, so I get a quite great view of the sun falling below some hills off in the distance.

I keep in mind walking into the bedroom upstairs to do something, looking up at the windows as well as going, “Wow!” The sky was this incredible mix of pink as well as orange, as well as it was extremely comforting, so I just hung available for a bit as well as watched.

Ukentlige mål:
To begin tracking my runs on my workout calendar again, to discover a new book to read, as well as to chill-the-eff out, LOL!

Good morning, wonderful friend, as well as pleased Monday! exactly how was your weekend?

ANNONSE

Mine was relaxing, however that’s partly since I skipped a few of my chores… On Saturday, I went to my nephew’s birthday celebration as well as went to my parents out in the east Bay. then on Sunday I just chilled at house as well as watched, like, eight back-to-back episodes of My feline from Hell.

I really wept for the very first time ever viewing that show! It was the episode with the 23-year-old orange tabby feline named Pump. [Sniffs] Pump wasn’t great with limits in the house, as well as it was interfering with his owners’ house business, so they were contemplating taking him to a shelter. Please tell me I’m not the only person who bawls her eyes out while viewing animal Planet…

If you have a minute this morning, I’d like to hear from you in the Monday Poll.
