Coffee and strawberry frosted Pop Tarts
I’m still in my jammies, but I’m thinking about Mineral eyeshadow from the MAC Emanuel Ungaro collection.
Dark circles, blah! I suppose if I look on the bright side, they give me an excuse to use products like the Pixi Neutralizing Palette and Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch.
They aren’t always well behaved, but they’re being reasonable this morning. I pluck a bit each day to keep them under control.
The first half of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, starring Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. WOW, that man was handsome!
Clarins Instant Smooth Foundation.
These boots by Seychelles Footwear. I really like them in Clay.
Think about going back to school for journalism, get Tabs a Halloween costume, find eye palettes to bring to Florida for Jen’s wedding next month, get in as much outside jogging as possible before it’s too cold and refrain from shoveling large amounts of brie down my gullet.
Your turn. Just copy the empty list, and paste it with your answers in the comments. 🙂

He told me that I had beautiful eyes. (I’ll bet he tells that to all of the girls.) I was so bold and told him that I could go for him (even though I know that “he plays for the other team” hahahahah.) He said, “Vamos.” It was a pleasure having him hand select particular colors for me even though it was a group lesson and that we had to smear our own makeup on our faces and do our own skincare.

the dancing is going quite well. managed to not piss off moody gay-man teacher two private lessons in a row – which means that i have done something right! to him everything is either horrible or acceptable, never astounding.
the foxtrot choreography for november 22nd is going to be quite beautiful actually – i love the section where i have to do three pivots, glued to the man, into an arabesque (like a one leg balancing thingy, kind of hard to describe, but gymnasts do it all the time on the beam), into a spot turn and oversway (a move very characteristic of foxtrot). it’s about 3/4 finished, which means this week we’ll add the lifts and other acrobatics and the exit and entry into the song.
there’s two other choreographies i will be in, one is salsa and the other one is argentine tango, so i’ll see how those go this week.
thank you for asking how the dancing is going – i love blabbing about it ever second i get!
love as always,
ines
Mood: Longing for vacation – which is months away
Breakfast: Blueberries with yoghurt and toast with low-fat cheese
Fragrance: None
Eye makeup: DiorShow mascara (which sucks) and a Covergirl liquid liner (which is okay)
Momentary makeup issue: That I paid 41 dollars (sales tax in DK is 25%) on a sucky Dior mascara
Eyebrow status: Good – one stray hair, which will be plucked out later 🙂
Last movie I watched: Time Bandits (total nostalgia)
Latest makeup or beauty find: Loving Paula’s Choice liquid lipstick, which is glossy as well
Shoe crush: None
Goals for the week: Enjoy life even more, get some garden work done before winter hits for real and read more
I know eh! They’re so so fab!
Karen B´s last blog post..Complicated? Nah!
Mood: Bloated!
Breakfast: Coffee, orange juice
Fragrance: Vera Wang princess/The Body Shop Vanilla
Eye makeup: Doirshow Iconic mascara, that’s it! :O
Momentary makeup issue: Finding a large coverage red-ness concealer
Eyebrow status: Need to be done this weekend
Last movie I watched: Tokyo Drift
Latest makeup or beauty find: Visine
Shoe crush: Jimmy Choo tan buckle heals
Goals for the week: Complete SS assignment, fake tan lots.
Yey, I was looking forward to Le List today!
Mood: Exhausted. I feel like this week has hit me like a ton of bricks.
Breakfast: Toast with raspberry jam
Fragrance: L’Occitaine Green Tea solid perfume
Eye makeup: A sheer taupe on my lid, light neutral up to my brow and the green from Chanel’s Nymphea palette in the crease. Bobbi Brown matte espresso eye shadow as a liner, and Estee Lauder Double Wear mascara.
Momentary makeup issue: Makeup storage! I bought some gorgeous see-through acrylic cases (hope the link works….) for storage this weekend, but they were a bit expensive, and with the eye shadow lust I’m developing from reading this blog I predict that by cases will be full in no time…
Eyebrow status: Not too well plucked, but I have light brows so I can sorta get away with it (at least that is what I think). I’ll color them soon though, I do it about every other week.
Last movie I watched: I watched “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” this weekend. I thought Penelope Cruz was the highlight of the film – soo crazy!
Latest makeup or beauty find: Lately I have decided that I will avoid chemicals and preservatives on my skin, so I have started to use Silk Naturals mineral foundation and Juice Beauty skin care products. I have broken out significantly less since I switched, so I feel like I’m doing something good for my skin.
Shoe crush: A pair of nougat leather pumps I got on sale this weekend!
Goals for the week: Panic over the fact that my wedding is only one month away on Wednesday, then pull myself together and remember that not everything can be planned. 🙂
I really like them. I thought they’d be waxy and cheap kind of like Wet N Wild, but these are actually really creamy. They have decent staying power too.
I think I ended up getting 2 I don’t like, but that’s just because I ordered the wrong color.
The have them at Ulta. I don’t know if you have one of those near you. Mine has a tiny little section mixed in with the drugstore stuff, but I think they mark up the prices there, so I usually end up buying NYX stuff online.
Mood: Happy because the school/work year is ending, and it means vacay time again! Tired because have to clear admin work before I get to enjoy.
Breakfast:Wholemeal Bread with Olive Butter Spread, and 2 apples (that gave me a bad tummy run by lunch time…BOO!!)
Fragrance: Marc Jacobs Daisy
Eye makeup: I tried my new eyeshadow, the mineralised one, I used the Olive green on my lids, and Dazzlelights on my browbone…. that’s all. No eyeliner, no mascara/lashes.
Momentary makeup issue: Messy brows!!! In need of a trim badly.
Eyebrow status: Messy, unkempt, like a cave woman! If I draw them in, they can pass off as “neat” (the basic shape is still there), on the bushy side.
Last movie I watched: At the movie theatre itself?? Hmmmm Dark Knight.. which is soooooo 5 years ago. It is my conscious choice not to go out and watch movies though, kind of getting too ex and I rather get the DVD. But I plan on watching Burn After Reading this weekend.
Latest makeup or beauty find:My MAC stuff, especially the Lipstain in Not So Shy
Shoe crush: Well, I am not a shoe gal. So I don’t develop crushes on shoes.
Goals for the week: Lose another 2 kg, go for acupuncture session, jog another 2 times.

Ok.

These baby phat sneakers.

Lydia´s last blog post..How to Find the Best Lipcolor
Hi Tiera,
I never thought to pair Woodwinked with Club. Those are two of my favorite colors so I will have to try that ASAP, so thanks!
Hope you feeling better today. How is the site redesign going with Nubby?
Hi Michelle,
Woot! I just read from Tiera’s comment above that you can pair it with Club. Dunno if you have Club, but it’s a fabulous color and one of my other (many) MAC faves. If you want a link to a FOTD let me know… I’ll dig around here for it!
Have a good Tuesday!
Hi Roxy,
I feel ya on the Foundation Quest. It’s like a never ending one. I really liked Laura Mercier’s, but am always down to try different things so I hop around a lot.
Good luck with your studying this week!
Hi Ines,
Ahhh, sounds like he’s a tough instructor. I’m sure he’ll teach you a lot, though, because you’ll always be striving for that one grunt of approval, LOL. I admire all the time you put into your art. I think it’s fantastic! If I were taller and 15 years younger, I think dance would’ve been a path that would have made me very happy, so on some level I am probably vicariously living through you. 🙂
Oh! I love the Tango. I know very basic steps — slow, slow, quick, quick, slow! I can fake it if I have a good lead… and good heels. 🙂
Have a great Tuesday!
Hi Ditte,
Sorry to hear you aren’t loving the DiorShow. It’s one of those that you’ll either love or you hate…
Have fun working on your garden. I missed the chance to grow tomatoes and strawberries this year and I missed being out on the deck and seeing the plants grow bit by bit every day.
Hi Karen B.,
I sort of have shoe lust for them now, too. I could easily justify those because seriously, they’d pair with everything. Too bad they are way out of my price range!
Hi Elle,
Good luck on your assignment! How are you liking your DiorShow Iconic?
Hi Karen Too,
Those cases look really handy. I like that you can see through them. LOL, eye shadow lust is a good thing!
Wow, now it’s crunch time, girlie. Do you have all the wedding deets settled? I wanna see your dress!
Hi Brittany,
There’s an Ulta across the bridge that I just never get around to going there.
The drugstore by my house only has Nyx shadows. They’re nice for the price, so hopefully I’ll be able to snag some lipsticks!
Have a fab Tuesday!
Hi Sophia,
Yay! Lucky you to be on vacay. How long will it last for you?
Hi Lydia,
Oh nice! The Carmindy line is very nice. How do you like your palette?
I love my pallete!

hi, I’ve never commented before, but I wanted to let you know that Lancome is phasing out Miracle Forever. I work for lancome, and I just got paperwork on it last week:( It bums me out because that is my favorite lancome fragrance.
-El
Hi El,
I am so bummed to hear that. I hadn’t worn the fragrance in months (it’s a fall/winter scent for me), and I was thinking yesterday about how much I love it — it’s my favorite Lancome scent, too.
Looks like I will have to stock up. *tears*
How long have you been working for Lancome? What are your favorite products from the line?
I know! They are so so fab! I’m saving up for my pair of classic Louboutin investment pumps. they really are. You could totally give them do your daughter later and they’d still be fashionable!
Karen B´s last blog post..Complicated? Nah!

Hey!
I can really recommend cutting bangs for everyone! I feel like a new person now! I was a bit afraid that my hair would get greasy during the day but so far it’s been fresh and I haven’t needed any dry shampoo or anything to keep it clean. It was relatively easy to cut them as well. I wanted to save 16€ ($21.83) so I did it myself.
I don’t know the precise amount of hours I’ll be having per week but I assume it’s something between 20 and 30, which is more than enough for starters 😀
How’s your week started?
Hello All,

HAHAHA! Yeah I’ve always been a hairy monter – I fear for my little girl – she’s part Italian!
The boots I got are called “at last” they have a bit of a wedge – adjustable buckles up top so you can wear them knee high or slouch them to the ankle. I got them in Tan -I have the biggest shoe crush on ’em! Also I just found a pair of super cute boots at Target for $35 – called Kinsey – gray and wedge heeled with two brass button up on the top. But since they are not real leather they probably won’t stretch much so I’m reserving them for leggings, tights and dresses. Sometimes I really curse my muscular calves!

Erica´s last blog post..Mrs. Skincare
Hi Karen B.,
That’s a good idea… now I only have to bear a daughter with a 7 shoe!
BTW, I went to the beauty store and happened upon the OPI display and found
Lunch at the Dehli.
OPI Lunch at the Dehli Swatch
It very coral, and pretty!
Hi Aleks,
Can I just say I really feel your pain with the pimples issue? Aghh!
I’m thinking I will have to go for bangs the next time I get my hair cut. I usually get long, side swept wisps because I have to have ’em long enough to tie them back easily. Maybe I’ll go bold and get some shorter fringe!
My week has been quite crazy so far. The madness that was happening at work last week continues. There’s a bunch of big projects involving lots of $ and accounting stuff that I find very challenging. At least it’ll be over soon!
20 hours is a good chunk of change, young lady! You’ll be able to make and save some good money! 🙂
Hi Jo,
How fun! I love those DVD watching weekends. How did you like Baby Mama and Made of Honor? I think eventually I’ll end up renting both.
And yay, I’m glad you like the Rimmel Makeup remover! Isn’t it super gentle, yet really effective?
Hi Lexi,
Ha ha ha! If I end up having a girl I would fear for her, too. I am the hairiest chick in my family — so not cool. My mom doesn’t even have to shave her legs!
I just googled your boots and saw them on the Nordies site. CUTE! You’ll be able to wear those all day long and look stylish!
Hi Erica,
Feel better soon, girlie!
BTW, I just picked up a HIP Duo… can’t wait to try it!
Mood: meh
Breakfast: Brown bread magically made into toast and a redbull 🙂
Fragrance: Gucci

Eyebrow status: Plucked, could be more plucked
Last movie I watched:
Latest makeup or beauty find: Essence Cosmetics
Shoe crush: Missy Elliott Baselines

What a fun quiz. 🙂
Vikki from CrazyAboutMakeup´s last blog post..I love Essence Cosmetics
A link to the FOTD would be great, thanks Karen!
I’ve been working for Lancome about a year and a half. I love playing with makeup all day:)
My fave products would have to be the definicils mascara, our color design eyeliners, and the juicy tubes lipglosses. All the stuff is fun:)
hey karen!
Yeah what’s up with our moms being all smooth and we end up as the hairy monsters? that just bothers me!
Yes, I love love LOVE my boots – I will have to buy another pair of skinny jeans from old navy to wear with them! It’s the best buy for Fall for me so far!
