Do you ever wake up, walk to the mirror and say to yourself, “I’m gonna put on all the things”? I felt that way this morning (happy Caturday, by the way!).
It’s been about two weeks since I’ve done a full face. I’ve been mostly just doing a lash curl here and some brow gel there, but today? Today I want it all!
First, a little backstory…
Connor spent pretty much all of last week sick with a bad cold. Then, as luck would have it, I caught it, so it’s been a while since I’ve truly played with face paint.
Today will be all about Ms. Charlotte Tilbury. Every time — and I can’t be the only one who does this — I put on her makeup, I hear her silky British voice in my head saying something like, “DAA-LING! I want you to coat your fringe with my fabulous, Full Fat Lashes. Literally every lash. See, daa-ling?”
Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this. ?

My favorite U2 song done with a gospel twist = GENIUS
Seriously, I freakin’ love it.
The tap dancer just takes it to the next level.
I guess you’re just what I needed.
What’s the plan for today, my friend? I hope it involves lip liner. ?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

It’s a snow day here in North Dakota for me! The snow started yesterday and they let me go home early from work. So today I better get my butt in gear. I’d like to go through some of my clothes and get rid of the ones I don’t wear anymore. Also need to organize my makeup and skincare. But who knows, maybe I’ll just binge watch the Great British Baking show! Happy Caturday!
That last video was “Just what I needed”. Thanks! Its been one of THOSE weeks.
So cold here in Illinois! It was 37 degrees as I headed out before the sun came up to pick up my friend and go to the Nordstrom Beauty Tend Show. I bought much more (as usual) than I had budgeted for. I love all the jazz version videos! Did you include “Just What I Needed” as an homage to Ric Ocasek (RIP)? Probably my favorite Cars song. ( Although isn’t it funny how somebody else can cover a song that you love and you can’t place who did the original- had to look it up).
Noreaster rain&wind week in CT, was so dreary.. so yesterday was my Charlotte day to wear all the things….i thought i was the only one Karen! When i put on her highlighter I hear her in my head “Darling, this highlighter is such a HEAVENLY glow, divine!!” Thankfully, today was a nice fall day so went to a craft fair in Dutchess County, NY.
Today was the student showcase at the circus gym! I was a hula hooping sea siren so I did big winged liner, lime green inner eyes, falsies, black glitter lipstick and glitter ALL OVER (including glitter freckles, which are kind of a signature). There was a different act that involved glitter being thrown at someone. I rolled in a pile of glitter after which seemed like a good idea at the time but I’m never getting all of this off. I scrubbed thoroughly and there’s still some.
