Good morning and happy, happy Caturday! I went to Sephora yesterday afternoon to return the Charlotte Tilbury concealer (’twas too light, just as I suspected), and to the surprise of absolutely no one, I ended up grabbing a few things.
Well, I legitimately “needed” (air quotes) another tube of Hourglass Retouching Fluid for my under-eye area. And a new mascara. And a couple Sephora Collection eyeliners. And the most beautiful golden taupe Laura Mercier Cream Shadow Stick called Strapless.
I’m looking forward to playing. 🙂

Um, does anybody else want one of these masks now?
LOVE this makeup!
An entire look with just 6 products? Yes, please.
Someone please make this for me.
Peep the eyebrows.
What are you up to this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you get to spend some time outside.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The eyebrows were weird in the movies from the beginning, until the late 1930s. I think “Gone With the Wind” might have had something to do with the eyebrows becoming normal-looking for the first time in the movies, since they knew they couldn’t do those weird high, narrow eyebrows for a movie set in the 1860s.
I got several Beekman’s products last time I was at Ulta. I really liked the Smooth Serum (which has, I think Willow Bark, instead of retinol) mixed with the Bloom Cream for daytime moisture. I would definitely repurchase those.
Ohh I want to try the Sephora brand eye liners now.
What did you get from Tower 28?!?
I love their tinted foundation and cream blush. I’m interested in trying a lip product, just haven’t decided which one.
