Do you watch “The Morning Show” with Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston? If you do, I wonder if the episode that aired last week got your nerdy beauty wheels turning! There’s a scene towards the end where Reese’s character is in her dressing room, and numerous beauty products are displayed in the background.
Like the beauty nerd that I am, I hit pause and tried to name as many brands I could! I spy with my little eye…
- Mario Badescu
- L’Occitane
- Clinique
- Biossance
I think the tall bottles in the middle (the dark blue, periwinkle and mint green ones) are Oribe, but I’m not sure. Hmm.
Don’t ask me why these things feel like a treasure hunt, but they do!
By the way, Reese’s hair in this scene is my dream hair. Love the loose curls, love the volume, love the smoothness. I especially love how the layers around her cheekbones frame her face. Ugh, so good. I try to get there as best as I can with my hair, but I don’t want to put in the extra work to get the little spiky bits around my hairline to play nice. Ha!
The most effort I’m willing to put in is to clamp them down with these weird little flat clips and then spray them with hairspray.
BTW, I put this makeup on just for fun, and from far away it seems pretty chill, but when up close, it has more of an ’80s vibe. I’m wearing the new Chanel holiday eye palette and one of the pigmented red lipsticks, Rouge Allure L’Extrait in Midnight Red.
Connor’s home a lot this week because it’s parent-teacher conference time, which means I get to hang out with my little sidekick, just like the good old days!
We went to TJ’s in the middle of the day (what a luxury, truly) and she begged me to buy her this brussels sprouts stalk.
I’ve never seen a child so excited about vegetables! I had no idea how to pick a good stalk, so I just went with my gut and hoped for the best.
How’s your week going so far? Anything new to report on your end?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
That makeup look is stunning on you!
Thanks, Julie! I haven’t worn this much in a while.
Such a beautiful holiday look! And you know, set dressing for beauty products could be pretty fun.
I’ve purchased those Brussels on the stalk at TJ’s. I agree with Connor-they are hard to resist! The hardest part was finding room in the fridge. And do tell me what you do with the stalk!!
We ended up popping off the sprouts and roasting them in the oven. You know, I had no idea that you could actually eat the stalk, LOL! What do you guys do with it?
I’ve never eaten them either! A quick Google reveals you can cook the stalks but it takes a little more work since their more woody. I think the main appeal of buying them on the stalk is they stay fresher longer.
Interesting! It never occurred to me that keeping the sprouts on the stalk would help with freshness. LOL! I’m going to try some experimenting with the ones we didn’t roast. I want to slice some very thinly, pan fry them in olive oil, then add sliced almonds (or maybe pistachio bits) and then top with shaved parmesan. Connor wants to do some sort of maple sauce drizzle.
I watched “The Morning Show” with Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. I am a beauty nerd and I paused the show to identify the beauty products in the background. I was able to identify several brands, including Tatcha, Charlotte Tilbury, and Dior.
