getting my glow on with the Chanel Les Ombres Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Quad in 274 Codes Élégants ($61, new for spring)
Between the new Chanel Les Ombres Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Quad in 278 Codes Subtils, as well as this I’m using now, 274 Codes Élégants, both of which are $61 each as well as new for spring, I’m persuaded that Chanel is at the front of the pack when it pertains to shimmery shades for women 30 as well as up.

Codes Élégants, like Codes Subtils, is $61, however unlike Codes Subtils, Élégants is permanent. as well as I kinda desire it was the other method around!

Not that this quad doesn’t have a great deal going for it. Robí! — like that glow, for one, as well as a silky, easy-to-blend formula. as well as the surface on that brown shade? TAKÁ KRÁSNA! Can I just get that on its own with the special sauce on the side? Please? The satiny surface lusters on the down low. You can barely tell it’s there, however it’s there, as well as you understand I online for that subtle sh*t, LOL! I’m so predictable… Yes, workhorse, daily satins. I like ’em.

The thing is…the other three shadows in the quad — the two golden shades as well as the platinum — all look like somewhat different versions of the exact same highlighter on my skin. They look extremely similar on me, so I don’t believe I’ll be able to do as lots of different looks with this quad as I might with Codes Subtils, which has a a lot more traditional combo of one darker shade, two mid-toned shades as well as a highlighter.

I understand that four shadows doesn’t seem like a great deal in this world of 12-pan as well as 24-pan eye palettes, however you can truly do a great deal with four shadows if they’re the ideal four shadows, as well as if two of them are mid-tones. The mid-tones are absolutely key.

Swatches of Codes Élégants

If you’re a lighter lass, the subtle differences among the gold shades will most likely be a lot more obvious for you. For me, however, this quad is just OK. It’s definitely deserving of some like from the ideal person or gal. It’s Chanel high quality all the way, as well as that dark brown shade is pure melted chocolate perfection.

Of the two new Chanel spring quads, though, Codes Subtils is much a lot more beneficial for me. I’m fan-girling on it so hard!

A huge birthday coming up…in 2032

Connor’s very first birthday is March 2nd, as well as I’ve asked my household to think about providing her letters, cards or other things that they’d like her to have when she’s 16. I’m going to put them all away in a box, as well as provide them to her on March 2nd, 2032.

HOLY SH*T. Sorry, I just realized exactly how far away that date is… Not to noise morbid or anything, however considering that El Hub as well as I are older parents, I just don’t understand if our parents (a.k.a. Connor’s grandparents) will still be around then. as well as I truly want to make sure that she has something special to open when she turns 16.

But now I’m not sure what I’m going to get her. I’m believing some books, of course, including a copy of The Girl’s Guide: getting the Hang of Your whole Complicated, Unpredictable, Impossibly incredible Life, which may be dated in some ways, however I’m sure that a few of the lessons will still apply.

I’m likewise toying with the concept of a appeal bracelet from Tiffany that says, “I like you,” however I’m terrified the silver may taint after sitting in a box for 15 years. Do you believe that would happen?? Neviem!

REKLAMA

Please let me understand if you have any type of other concepts for timeless, thoughtful gifts for a 16-year-old Connor. I would like your help.

Použitie PUR Hydrafluid Water Sérum Nadácia v Tan
Myslím, že budem volať 2016 “Rok nadácií.” Tam boli tak veľa nových základov, ktoré vychádzajú, ako PUR Hydrafluid Water Sérum Nadácia, ktorá je nová na jar 2016.

Sľubuje “instantnú mladšiu pleť”, ktorá mi zdá byť pre mňa celkom najlepšie, ako aj to, že to má urobiť pridaním vlhkosti, ako aj Radiance. Na veľmi prvý pohľad sa mi páči obal (mám rád sérové ​​základy, ale nie sú normálne ako droppers, s ktorými sa dodávajú). Keď som videl, že tam bolo len päť odtieňov, mám trochu nervózny, avšak ochranou svetlo-médiá indikuje, že povrch je dostatočný, že nepotrebujem presný zápas. Vysúdil som farby, rovnako ako šťastne zistili, že opálenie je pre mňa vynikajúci zápas (vložte si úľavu).

REKLAMA

Tu je pohľad na obal, ako aj odtiene:

Spočiatku som veril, že by som mohol používať tmavé (som Mac NC45 pre referenciu), ale ukázalo sa, že opálenie je pre mňa oveľa lepšie. V lete sa však stmavujem, takže by som sa mohol vidieť sám.

Vzorec sa cíti neuveriteľne svetlo, ale je to stále hydratačné, ktoré milujem. Mám kombinovanú pokožku, takže som vždy skeptický o “hydratačnom” základoch, pretože často sa cítia rovnako ťažké, rovnako ako to, aby moja t-zóna pobavo sa leskli; Avšak, prvýkrát, čo som to skontroloval, nevyužil som základný náter alebo nastavenie prášku, rovnako ako to trvalo dosť dobre. Na konci dňa bolo na mojom nose trochu trochu vyžarovať, ale nestačí ma to obťažovať vôbec. To sa nerozpadlo cez moje tváre alebo sa objavilo do mojich úsmevov, a to buď, čo je ešte jedna významnejšia.

Telefón by som zavolal na túto svetlú ochranu s prírodným saténovým povrchom. Zväzok vysvetľuje povrch ako “dewy”, ale ja by som to uviedol, že je to na jemnej strane dewy, ak to dáva zmysel. Keď som použil sumu dime-veľkosti, ktorá využíva moje skutočné metódy štetce, urobila veľkú úlohu večera môjho tónu pleti.

Mám akné jazvu na moje čelo, rovnako ako to stále ukazuje to, ale domnievam sa, že by som mohol trochu vrhnúť oveľa viac pokrytie.

PUR Hydrafluid Water Sérum Nadácia je najlepšia pre nízko-key make-up dni, rovnako ako by som sa mohol vidieť sám o víkendoch na behanie pochôdzok, alebo ráno, keď som v zhone, aby som mohol pracovať do práce.

REKLAMA

Môžete absolútne povedať, že je to založená na vode, pretože sa veľmi pekne zmení na kožu (môžete ľahko aplikovať rukami, rovnako ako v poriadku). Musím poukázať na to, že na obale sa uvádza, že existuje bitová poznámka, ktorá uvádza, že obsahuje alfa hydroxy kyselinu, ktorá môže zvýšiť citlivosť na slnku. Vždy nosím opaľovací krém, aby som sa uistil, že ma to nevadí, ale ak ste citliví na slnko, držte ho na pamäti.

Tu sú vzorkovníci všetkých piatich odtieňov:

Celkovo som naozaj spokojný s ľahkým, hydratačným pocitom, rovnako ako budem absolútne pridať PUR Hydrafluid Water Sérum Nadácia k mojej dennej rotácii nadácie. Je to tiež dlhotrvajúce, rovnako ako pohodlné. Pozrite sa do neho, ak chcete niečo s ochranou svetla, ako aj prirodzený saténový povrch. Je to $ 39 (pre 1 uncu), ako aj ponúkané.

I’m a little giddy today because we’re headed on a little vacation this weekend! We’re headed down south to warmer weather (not that it’s been cold here in Logan, Utah), or should I say, “sweltering weather,” where it’s supposed to be right up around 100 degrees while we’re there. That’s alright with me, though, because I plan to live in the pool.

Since I’m pregnant, there’s been no working out or eating healthy to do (one of my favorite perks), so all I had to do to get ready was just slap on a layer of my favorite fake tan, and grace my usually bare nails with a fresh, summery manicure.

REKLAMA

While browsing Pinterest for some inspiration, I fell in love with watercolor nails. You can literally use any colors you want, and it’s so easy! The only special tool you need is a sandwich bag, and I’m pretty sure everyone has those on hand. (See what I did there? Eh?)

Let me show you how quick and easy this is!

1. start with white nails

Start off with white nails (I’m using China Glaze White On White), and I painted mine the night before to make sure they were completely dry.

From experience, I’ve figured out that if the nails are still a little wet, it’ll cause problems with the rest of the process.

Start with a white base
China Glaze White on White
2. apply your colorful blobs

Working one nail at a time, put a fairly generous blob of each color you want to use on the nail. I put the blobs in different areas so that the nails don’t all turn out looking similar.

I wanted mine to resemble pools of water, so I used two blues — Zoya Blu and Sally Hansen Blue rose (discontinued) — and a turquoise called Essie Turquoise and Caicos.

3. grab your sandwich bag

Once your blobs are in place, it’s time to grab your sandwich bag. open the bag, stick your finger inside, and lightly press your nail against the plastic, and sort of wiggle the bag around to mix the colors together.

It’s okay if you make a mess on your cuticles; we’ll clean those up later.

4. Time for top coat

When all of your nails are done, grab your favorite top coat (mine is Sally Hansen Mega Shine), and coat your nails. then let them completely dry.

5. clean up your cuticles

There are plenty of different techniques out there to get polish off your cuticles.

You can use a Q-tip and nail polish remover, but I don’t ever really do that because I don’t think it’s that effective, and there’s usually still a mess left over.

REKLAMA

I like to wait for everything to completely dry, so like a few hours. then I’ll make myself a nice bubble bath, and after my hands have soaked in the warm water for a while, I’ll put on my exfoliating gloves, rub around my cuticles, and everything comes right off.

Voila! A perfect manicure. and a relaxing bubble bath!

Do you have any fun vacation plans this summer? Where are you headed?

Nezabudnem ich všetko tam, pretože to by bolo zvláštne (zatiaľ čo jeden hrnček nie je, haha), ako aj naša chladnička by bola plná make-up … Aj keď by to tak bolo trochu vychladnúť.

Aren’t these Juicy Shakers cute?
I’ve been seeing lip treatment oils talked about on different beauty blogs a great deal lately, as well as I’ve been curious about them…but for whatever reason, I just hadn’t gotten around to providing them a try.

Do teraz.

REKLAMA

I wished to try these Lancome Juicy Shakers ($21) for a couple of reasons. First, they’re super, super cute. 

They’re seriously a few of the cutest lip products I’ve ever seen.

Second, the bi-phase formula (the oil as well as pigment settle, so you shake these as much as mix them together before utilizing them).

Is it just me, or do these look like mini mixed drink shakers?
After you provide these a quick shake, there’s an adorable bit pillow applicator that you utilize to apply the color.

So…I really, truly believe these are cute. So damned cute! as well as they’re just perfect for the summertime, since you can get that super glossy look on your lips, however since they likewise contain the oil, they’re really moisturizing.

I feel like a great deal of glosses, even though they’re shiny, are really not moisturizing at all. But these are nice since they’re moisturizing as well as glossy yet aren’t thick or sticky. 

As you may guess, since of the oil, they do have a somewhat oily feel, but they’re not greasy or anything like that. They feel rather unlike other lip products I’ve tried.

A better look at the pillow applicator
The two colors I have right here are Apri-Cute (a peach/apricot) as well as pinky Berry Tale. 

On my lips, Apri-Cute is quite sheer; you don’t see a ton of pigment, however there’s a time as well as a location for that. And Berry tale is a truly glossy, quite pink lip color.

I believe these are fantastic for super low-key makeup days. When I’m just heading into work as well as don’t have much time to do a great deal of makeup, I definitely reach for these Juicy Shakers, much as I reach for a lip balm, except that I select these instead of a lip balm when I want more gloss.

Lancome Juicy Shaker in Apri-Cute
Lancome Juicy Shaker in Berry Tale
There’s something about these Juicy Shakers that I just truly adore. I mean, I have a ton of makeup, so it’s not that frequently that I come across a product that I believe is particularly unique.

That’s not to state that I don’t autumn in like with a new product like every other day (haha), however I believe these are just so adorable as well as fun to put on. To me, having fun is a huge reason why I like makeup — it’s one of the few chances in my day to just play around! Whenever I see a product that puts a fun twist on a basic, I gotta provide it a thumbs up.

I have to admit that these Juicy Shakers are quite unique
I will say, though, that they have a extremely fruity odor (just a heads up). They almost odor like children’s cough syrup or fruit snacks — you know, that artificially wonderful fruity scent, which, since it does remind me of my childhood, as well as I’m always right here for a bit of nostalgia, doesn’t bother me at all! however it is extremely noticeable, so I wished to point that out to you guys.

These are so cute!

MOAR CORALS! From the left, MAC Lipsticks in Nippon, Koi Coral, shy Girl, Ravishing and hot Tahiti
Did you really think I could stop at five?? GIRL, YOU SO CRAZY!

It’s completely normal for a MAC coral enthusiast to have at least 10 lipstick options in rotation at any given moment…

REKLAMA

Správny…?

UGH, keep telling yourself that, Karen. Seriously, I’m only one or two tubes away from an intervention.

ÁNO! These corals (like these from earlier today) are in the MAC permanent line. one of them, Ravishing, is an old fave I’ve been wearing for years, but the other four are pretty new to my personal coral kingdom, like Koi Coral, a creamy, marvelously moisturizing peachy nude coral Cremesheen that happens to share part of its name (albeit with a different spelling) with one of Connor Claire’s nicknames (“Coywolf,” which in some cases gets shortened to “Coy”).

I think of her whenever I wear it.

Mmm, I’m tasting that signature MAC vanilla flavor on my lips best now. It tastes like coming home, and it feels like everything is best again with the world…

Mimochodom! Diversion much, Karen?

Also in this batch — shy Girl, and oh, my gosh! Tak pekné. It’s a creamy, dreamy peachy beige coral I just recently found through MAC Fruity Juicy.

I mean, it’s been around a while, but I forgot it was in the permanent collection. It practically functions as a nude.

Nippon is another peachy coral, but it’s less beige than shy Girl. like Koi Coral, it’s also a Cremesheen, so it’s creamy and mega moisturizing. It’s like a drink of water for dry lips.

And then there’s hot Tahiti! It’s a reddish coral with MAC’s Glaze finish, a finish that I feel doesn’t get the love it deserves.

The Amplifieds, Mattes and Cremesheens get heaps of adoration, but I hardly ever see the Glazes getting their props. I think they should, because they’re just as moisturizing and creamy as the Cremesheens. They might not be as pigmented, but with darker colors like hot Tahiti, that can be a good thing, ’cause you don’t have to be as precise.

I also like that they look “worn in” when you apply them. remember when I was talking about the Milk makeup Lip colors the other day and said that they look like you’ve been wearing them for hours best after you apply them? The MAC Glazes are like that, too, except their finish is creamy instead of matte.

REKLAMA

Anyway, just a few much more corals for your consideration! and don’t forget that the MAC Lips Lips Lips promotion is still going (ends June 25th). You get a totally free full-sized lipstick with any two lip product purchases.

Musel som urobiť matematiku – nie raz, ale dvakrát. Bolo to naozaj sedem rokov vzhľadom na to, že som objavil úžasné-ness, ktorý je aquis vlasy uterák?

Sväté Yikes!

REKLAMA

Ten, ktorý som sa vrátil v roku 2009 ako dar z môjho panora JEN je stále silný (ja som ho použil minulú noc, v skutočnosti), a dodnes som ho celý čas používam.

Som tak venovaný, že prichádza so mnou na výletoch, a ak zabudnem, aby som to priniesol, som freak-the-out. Nie je to len vlasový uterák … Je to spôsob života!

Mimochodom, som extatický, pretože teraz je na Sephora k dispozícii môj obľúbený vlasový uterák.

Kedysi to bolo, že som ich mohol nájsť len v posteli kúpeľ a mimo neho, ale teraz, keď sa vrátite, aby ste doplnili svoju obľúbenú červenajúcu alebo držať novú vložku, môžete tiež znížiť jeden z týchto aquis uteráky do vášho malého koša a teda Zmeň svoj život. Ponuka!

Akonáhle som to začal používať, nemohol som sa vrátiť. Je to supernaturálne absorpčná vlasová uterák vyrobená so špeciálnou tkaninou mikrovlákna, ktorá nasáva živú kecy z každej molekuly vody vo vlhkých vlasoch.

Mám dlhé vlasy, a na jeho najdlhšie, to trvá – nerobím si srandu – asi tri hodiny na suché, ak nechám, aby som sa na suchý po použití pravidelného bavlneného kúpeľného uteráka. Ale keď používam Aquis, trvá polovicu času. Navyše, moje vlasy vyzerajú menej frizzy a dokonca sa rozbije menej! Tkanina je oveľa hladšia ako bežná kúpeľná uteráka a nie vťažiť alebo drsné moje vlasy kožušiny.

SEPHORA v súčasnosti nesie dve verzie uteráka – Aquis Lisse Luxe Hair Turbaban ($ 30) a Aquis Waffle Luxe Hair Turbaban ($ 40) – Obaja sú oveľa drahšie ako $ 18 uterák, som dostal späť, ale myslím To je preto, že majú dizajn turban-štýl s zatvorením tlačidla, aby boli oveľa jednoduchšie zabaliť okolo vlasov. Navyše prichádzajú v roztomilých vzoroch (moja základná biela obdĺžniková aquis je holé kosti porovnaním).

Tieto sefora sa mi cítia oveľa očarujúce, a myslím, že fungujú rovnako ako originál.

Living life on the edge…purr usual
For some people, living on the edge means base jumping from a skyscraper, surfing 50-foot waves, or getting hitched in vegas to the lifeguard they just satisfied at the hotel pool five minutes back (granted, he was hot).

My concept of life in the quick lane is trying to utilize a matte eyeshadow that I’ve never utilized before in a 10-minute makeup look…

REKLAMA

Čo môžem povedať? I GO HARD.

Sometimes this gamble doesn’t pay off, as well as I end up with a choppy, patchy mess. Sometimes, however, it does, like it did with organic Eyeshadow Quattro in Noisette ($39) by Antonym Cosmetics.

If you have lined lids and/or otherwise decline to get drawn into eye makeup drama, I believe you’re gonna like this. It’s from Antonym Cosmetics, a cruelty-free, organic line from Miami that I just started using as well as loving.

(Side note: Why aren’t more makeup peeps speaking bout this line? It’s still flying under the radar for now, however they just recently introduced on the Sephora website (that’s exactly how I discovered them). I’m persuaded they’re going to strike up soon since every one of their products I’ve tried so far has been profesh-caliber — like hourglass satisfies NARS.)

Noisette

First time I tried Noisette was when I took Connor to infant story Time a few weeks ago. I felt like a challenge, so I provided myself 10 minutes to put my full deal with on (I’m hot in the quest of obtaining those speedy Sir John makeup skills). I decided to wear the matte brown, since matte powders are notoriously difficult to blend.

Makeup masochist much?!

I almost dropped my clean when the delicate grains as well as dense pigment swept across my lids, as well as things got even much better as I windshield wiper-ed my method to the smoothest of gradients. No skipping, no drama. just managed shadow placement, with every last grain landing exactly where I desired it to go.

Simply put, one might be rollerblading backwards as well as still blend the sh*t out of this shadow.

And it’s not just the matte! It’s that method with all the them, including the two satins (a copper as well as a bronze) as well as the shimmer (the pale gold).

But the very best part is exactly how the dainty powder sits on your lids. I can’t see it. It’s just pure color. The method it caresses the skin makes it seem more like a cream than a powder, as well as if you have any type of lines — fine or not-so-fine — this quad will stay out of them. It’s like the very best of the very best NARS eyeshadow duos (Kalahari, Cordura…).

I can happily suggest this to anyone, from novices to pros as well as everybody in between, who’s looking for lovely, effortless eye makeup.

REKLAMA

If the warm colors in Noisette aren’t your thing, there are likewise two other $39 combos. Croisette has a dark gray, bone, golden brown as well as a peachy pink, as well as To the Moon as well as Back has a gray, charcoal, taupe as well as white. You can discover them all at Sephora.

These also don’t strip my color, and my ends have been looking healthier than they’ve looked in a really long time (no split ends).

3. real pictures!

Do you ever get on picture kicks where you’re getting tons of them made? I love my iPhone, but nothing beats a picture you can actually hold in your hand or stick in a photo album.

A picture of pictures…
I just realized… I’ve taken at least one picture each day (usually a picture of Tabs or makeup or food) for the past 10 years.

That’s a whole decade!

But everything I do is digital, so I don’t have a lot of actual printed photographs lying around — something tangible that you can hold in your hand.

Anyway, I had a bunch of pics of Connor and Tabs printed at Costco over the holidays, and so now I’m hooked on that again. I made a bunch to send with cards, for frames and for the fridge.

4. Grandpa sweaters

Ďalšia vec! Grandpa sweaters. My goodness… So, my mommy gave me these two for Christmas…

Yup, they’re over-sized.

She and my daddy checked out a lot last fall to help with the baby, and I guess she observed that I have a penchant for over-sized sweaters, or what I like to call “grandpa sweaters,” so she got me a couple from Target.

Grandpa sweaters FTW!
The Mossimo one has an amazing geometric print (ON SALE now FOR $6, WHAT?!), which goes really well with a lot my clothes (I wear lots of gray and black because it hides the cat hair and doesn’t throw shade, haha, when I take pictures for the blog), and this stunning sea foam one. (It’s a little itchy though… I can’t seem to find it online.)

5. Premier Protein

Speaking of hair…when I was starving at the beauty parlor a few weeks back, my stylist pal Alis gave me one of these chocolate Premier protein drinks (30g of protein and only 1g of sugar), and it made me feel like a completely new woman!

No, seriously, my brain was on fire, and I felt like I could run a marathon ideal then and there.

OK…maybe not a marathon, but I could have walked a mile, LOL.

I felt really good for hours. I mean, I’ve had protein drinks over the years, but this is the best I’ve ever had.

I’ve only had the chocolate flavor, and it tastes exactly like chocolate milk. Not too thick, and it doesn’t have one of those funky, sugary or man-made sweetener aftertastes. Plus, it doesn’t give me a tummy ache or gas, either, because let’s get real here. A lot of those protein powders make you toot like a mother!

Oh! often I like to pour some in my coffee in the morning for an improv mocha.

I’ve seen them at Safeway, but I bought a box of 12 from Costco for $25 (they’re on sale ideal now for $20). There’s also a vanilla flavor and a caramel.

5.5 Bonus: The hourglass girl Lip Stylos

10 of the 20 hourglass girl Lip Stylos, $32 each
I know I keep talking about these, but they’re so fabulous! I want to wear them all day, every day.
