Meow-za! I hope you and yours are having a purr-fectly relaxing Caturday. ?
You might be wondering about that hot pink and orange tiger up there. Well, Connor keeps asking me to color in her coloring books with her, and these cray-cray animals just keep showing up…
Doing so much coloring as of late has taught me a few things, like, 1) I wish that hot pink tigers and rainbow penguins were legit real. 2) I don’t enjoy coloring with El Hub, because he’s too much of a realist with his color choices. He likes his rocks gray, dirt brown and leaves green, while I would rather have a pink ocean and purple sky. 3) That pink triceratops REALLY needs some nail art.
On that note, your weekly beauty reading…
- AS IF! There’s going to be a remake of Clueless, one of my favorite ’90s movies of all time, and I’m, like, totally buggin’.
- Speaking of movie remakes, the new Mary Poppins is coming out soon, and L’Oreal is doing an LE lipstick for the movie.
- I realize that this will probably sound like sacrilege to Harry Potter super-fans, but I never quite understood the HP hype. *shrugs shoulders* But hey, if you’re a fan and you happen to be in the UK, Boots is launching a new Harry Potter-themed makeup collection next week!
- Could your next favorite fragrance be developed by a computer? IBM is attempting to turn the perfume world upside down using the power of artificial intelligence to make perfumes. All I have to say to that is, “Next stop: Skynet.”
- Hair discrimination in the workplace is a very real issue.
- This is how liquid lipstick is made.
- Apparently, if you love cats, you gotta read this book.
- These NASA pics of the Cat’s Paw Nebula are ?? meow-tastic!
- Two of my favorites top coats (Seche Vite and Smith & Cult Above It All) made it onto this list of 9 best nail polish top coats. See any of your faves?
- I’m gonna have to give rainbow tooth polish a HARD NO.
- For the photography nerds: This swirling splash effect looks like fun!
Forgive me as I make my way through a ’90s dance music phase.
No, seriously, I’M SO SORRY.
You know you love it though!
Super helpful lesson on color theory.
I’m trying to get my makeup game back on lock, and these eye-lifting tips are very helpful.
I could legit eat this entire thing.
Do you have any Halloween happenings this weekend? I just realized that I haven’t fully worked out my costume yet. I’m dressing up as a ’50s girl, in large part because I want to wear winged liner, ha ha ha!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
What an artist! I’d wear that penguin on a shirt.
I went to the (dimly lit) bar today for lunch and went to go sit in my regular seat, only to find an abandoned scarf. After asking around and seeing that no one was occupying the table, I go to move the scarf, only to find that it is in fact not a scarf but a sleeping tortie cat! She wasn’t thrilled to be woken up but I was thrilled to be joined for lunch by a sweet little kitty.
Hi Karen!
Harry Potter has certainly proved to be popular over the years and it’s delighted a lot of people but it’s never really appealed to me either. So glad to know I’m not alone on that one! I bet this Harry Potter makeup collection is going to excite a lot of fans – even I like the look of those magic wand makeup brushes! ?
The Mary Poppins film remake and L’Oreal Lipstick release is very exciting! I like their Colour Riche lipsticks anyway but those limited edition cases really are practically perfect! ??

Totally agree about Harry. So overrated. Or beyond me. Skynet? Absolutely on that pathway already. ? Have a great weekend!!
Okay Kar, I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that about Harry Potter.
It’s only the series that got me totally back into reading as an adult. I adore all the movies too.
Moving on, thanks for all the beautaaay links. It’s going to take me all of Sunday to get through them all.
I’m not sure what Halloween plans I have other than to hand out treats to whoever might knock on the door.
I love the link tiger !
You could write a children’s book w that theme . We are coming off our annual Halloween ? party which is a costume and meatball judging .
I have won a meatball trophy ? but this year the judges were pretty rough . I was my usual witch w green skin and spider ? eyes !
I want to address the hair issue . As long as your hair does not interfere w your job but I’ve seen some nails that were too long and less than sanitary ( nurses ).
I hope they do reboot of Clueless . Loved that movie . The Halloween w Jamie Lee was so so . I didn’t even jump . And looking forward to the Mary Poppins reboot !
Have a great Sunday !
Grasps pearls in horror, “sacrilege!” I loved HP because the writing was some of the best I’ve seen. I was truly transported into that world! I was amazed at how JKR could describe something so perfectly in a few words. I still remember the phrase when Prof McGonagall was introduced: “her face looked at if she walked through a spider web.” I mean, genius. In an instant I knew exactly what she looked like!
But I hear you. I feel the same way about Game of Thrones and The Hobbit and all that. *Shrug.*
And I can’t believe they are making over Clueless! I have very mixed feelings on this!
