OK, that may have been an exaggeration…

Brace yourself for a loooooong rambling message, however what else is new?

“Beep!”

Hey, babe, it’s me Karen! desire you were there. concern for ya — are you complimentary on April 15th? You’re not gonna believe this, however I got an invite to a celebration as well as requirement you to be my plus one.

Before you answer, the hold is François Nars…

CRAZYPANTS, RIGHT!? It’s pool celebration with François-freaking-Nars!

It’s for their new summertime collection and, uh, I’m already stressing about what to wear. Du forstår meg!

The 12-piece NARS adult Swim Collection, new for summertime 2014
So, adult Swim — that’s the theme, however I’m quite sure it doesn’t have anything to do keeping that animation channel…

Oh, however can you picture if it did? We roll up as well as Stewie from the household person is there having a attractive party.

EWWW! Yeah, I might not manage that.

I believe it’s a lot more along the sultry pool celebration lines, as well as no, you cannot show up in your swim cap as well as goggles, you dork! I am not about to let you jump in the pool as well as do laps in front of François.

Because I understand you want to.

Priscilla Lip Gloss on my lips
The invite doesn’t state anything about attire, however I’m guessing bikinis, stilettos — basically, I believe if we gown for a rooftop pool celebration at a truly costly new York hotel, we’ll be alright.

Tropical Princess Duo Eyeshadow, $34

Tropical Princess Duo Eyeshadow, $34
And the for makeup, for you I’m believing we must do a tropical princess theme. Lime eco-friendly on your lids with an icy lavender along your lower lash line, ooh-la-la.

We’ll utilize the new NARS tropical Princess Duo Eyeshadow ($34).

Those metallic completes are just so dramatic, as well as I understand you like drawing interest to your eyes. We can even wet the shadows very first to make them look a lot more shimmery.

Oh, boy, this is a long message, isn’t it…?

Uansett! If you’re not feelin’ the incredibly high shine, or if you’re stressing about the frosty completes highlighting your fine lines (yes, dear, you do have fine lines), then we’ll just buff one of the shades on your lids with a domed fluffy brush, as well as do a light laundry of shimmery color.

Don’t concern about the fallout, either. With this, it ain’t no thing.

Malaaca single Eyeshadow, $24

Malacca single Eyeshadow, $24
For me, I’m going smokey — huge surprise! There’s a couple of things in the collection that are absolutely my smokey style, like the Malaaca single Eyeshadow ($24).

HOLY WOW, EGYPTIAN MAU! So pretty… It’s like a peacock feather in a pan, as well as it’s absolutely, freakishly gorgeous. It’s absolutely my preferred thing in the summertime collection, hands down.

Basically, it’s like MAC Club, however with less intense dark brown tones as well as a lot more teal.

Baalbek Eye Paint, $25

Baalbek Eye Paint, $25
Malaaca looks AMAZE-BALLS layered with Baalbek Eye paint ($25), by the way, the one lonely gel liner in adult Swim.

Baalbek is an intense shimmery bronze — gorgeous on it’s own, however layer it under Malacca since the two are like RyGos as well as Rachel from The Notebook together. Baalbek’s bronze intensifies Malaaca’s teal, as well as then there’s the shimmering bronze shine peeking through…

Superkul. My new preferred smokey eye.

Lost coastline Duo Eyeshadow, $34

Lost coastline Duo Eyeshadow, $34
Unnskyld! I understand this is a long message, however I’m nearly done.

There are likewise two a lot more eye pieces in the collection — lost coastline Duo Eyeshadow ($34), which homes a golden pewter as well as a lilac; as well as a creamy, rosy quartz Soft Touch shadow Pencil called Iraklion ($24).

I believe lost coastline would most likely be much better for daytime eye looks, considering that the shadows are muted, so perhaps not perfect for the party, presuming it runs late. I mean, they’re pigmented, however absolutely not as fancy as tropical Princess or Malacca.

Iraklion Soft Touch shadow Pencil,$24

Iraklion Soft Touch shadow Pencil, $24
If you’re wondering about Iraklion, I don’t know. It creases within minutes on me, so I believe perhaps we must put that a person aside for now.

Hot Sand liquid Illuminator, $30

NARS hot Sand Illuminator, $30
As for our cheeks, there are no blushes in the adult Swim collection, however I’m awesome just using the hot Sand liquid Illuminator ($30).

I’m going with a dewy skin phase anyway, as well as this peachy, champagne liquid highlighter must be best that that. I like to pat it on my cheekbones, ideal around the middle of the forehead as well as down the bridge of my nose with a flat foundation brush.

Totally subtle however still noticeable. Fresh however not excessively shiny.

And don’t trip about having to reapply. It lasts all the time on me.

Lip Glosses in Turkish Delight, Orgasm, Wonder, Salamanca as well as Priscilla, $26 each

Lip Glosses from the top down: Priscilla, Salamanca, Wonder, Orgasm as well as Turkish pleasure ($26 each)
For lips now, considering that I’ll be using smokey eyes, I’m opting for Turkish pleasure or Orgasm Lip Gloss ($26 each).

Yup, both are from adult Swim, as well as yes, they’re in new packaging! NARS totally revamped as well as repackaged their Lip Gloss line (which is separate from their larger Than Life Lip Glosses, incidentally), providing it a new silkier, smoother formula.

And you’ll most likely like this: they ditched the obnoxious plasticky flavor as well as scent, whoop-whoop!

We’ll talk a lot more about the Lip Gloss line when I see you, however generally they’re non-sticky, incredibly smooth, as well as last from 2-4 hours.

NARS brought creamy light pink Turkish pleasure over from their previous Lip Gloss line. It’s your quintessential glossy nude lip, as well as I like it since you can really see it on pigmented lips.

I don’t have to jump with any type of hoops to get it to show up. It’s just a straight-up creamy pink nude gloss. If you don’t have it yet, you requirement it.

Or I may do Orgasm Lip Gloss instead. that a person was likewise carried over from their previous lipgloss collection, as well as it’s the exact same lurvely peachy gold.

For your lips, considering that we’re doing eco-friendly as well as purple for your tropical Princess eyes, I believe we must opt for a complementary color from the opposite side of the spectrum, so either an orange or pink, like Wonder, Salamanca or Priscilla from the adult Swim collection.

The NARS adult Swim Collection Lip Glosses in Wonder, Salamanca as well as Priscilla

Wonder — Wonder, a creamy, sheer mandarin orange with barely-there pink as well as gold shimmer, is one more carryover from the previous line.
While rather visible in swatches, it’s harder to see on my lips. If you’re expecting a burst of disco glittery goodness, you’re not going to discover it in this tube.

I do believe it’s beautiful, though, as well as orange lips are having a moment…

Salamanca — HECTOR SALAMANCA!!
Sorry, breaking poor ref.

This sheer bright pink flamingo gloss absolutely rings my bell. A new addition to the NARS Lipgloss Line, it’s swiftly ending up being one of my pink gloss favorites.

So juicy… So sheer… So shiny…

It just screams hot summertime nights as well as spontaneous adventure!

This is a color you wear when you want to get into trouble.

Priscilla — A hot pink with bluish undertones, Priscilla is likewise new to the NARS Lip Gloss line. like MAC Pink Poodle, however without the silver glitter, I believe it’s the most pigmented of the five Lip Glosses in the summertime collection.
Yes, it’s bold, however the truth that it’s not completely opaque keeps it wearable.

You might absolutely rock this, no prob.

Libertango nail Polish, $19

Libertango nail Polish, $19
I’m sorry about the length of this message, babe, however I’m nearly done.

Last, however not least, our nails. I state we both wear Libertango ($19). It’s like MAC woman risk Lipstick in nail polish form. two coats of this pigmented reddish coral will do fine.

MAC Unsung Heroes: The 239 Eye Shader brush

I can’t believe I haven’t unsung the heroic MAC 239 Eye Shader brush yet!

Merkelig! — considering how much I love it. I’m even thinking about getting a second one to go with the first. That way, I could reserve one for powders and one for creams.

Heck, while I’m at it, might as well get a third (strictly for blending, of course).

No, no, I guess one is enough… It’s just a brush, after all.

A medium-sized flat eyeshadow brush with gloriously soft goat hair fibers packed into a firm, dense head with a rounded shape, the $25 MAC 239 is capable of a multitude of makeup tasks, from applying and blending eyeshadows (loose and pressed powders, and creams), to highlighting beneath my brows, lining my eyes and adding color into the outer V and inner corners.

I have a handful of brushes from other brands that by all appearances, look like the MAC 239, but that’s where the similarities end.

The size of the 239’s brush head is like my favorite part of the story of Goldilocks and the three Bears, juuuust right. Not too big, not too small. It covers a fairly wide area on my lid, and yet is small enough to fit into the inner and outer corners of my eyes, and directly below my lashes.

It’s like getting a bunch of different brushes in one!

The firm, yet splendidly soft bristles pick up lots of product, too, and more importantly, deposit it evenly. As firm as it is, this bad boy never feels scratchy against my skin.

Oh, and did I mention that it’s also a breeze to clean and hardly ever sheds?

The Givenchy Le Prisme Eye Quad color & shine for metallic Eyes in Acoustic harmony #80, and Conversations With My inner Drag Queen about glitter

between the hypnotic packaging sparkling like a shimmery pair of black snakeskin and patent leather heels, the glittery catchlights and the sheer, high-shine finish of its four powder shadows, Givenchy’s Le Prisme Eye Quad color & shine for metallic Eyes in Acoustic harmony #80 ($58) is like a makeup oasis glistening in a desert flush with fall smokey eyes.

Outside of the packaging

ANNONSE

No. 80 is the new quad in Givenchy’s Acoustic colors collection for autumn/winter 2012, and man! — it’s sparkly.

So sparkly that it even gave my inner drag queen reason to pause…

KAREN’S inner DRAG QUEEN: “Baby, I dunno if we can do this.”

KAREN: “Yeah, that is a lot of glitter, but check out how sheer the shadows are. They’re really only lightly tinted but have a shiny finish and gobs of glitter.

“I bet if we apply one all over our lids with a flat eyeshadow brush like the MAC 239, it would look really cool. We’d get a wash of sheer pigment, a shiny finish and sparkle from the glitter on top.

“Trust me — we can make it look classy.”

KAREN’S inner DRAG QUEEN: “Classy with a ‘c’ or klassy with a ‘k’?”

KAREN: “Dude, classy with a ‘c’! It’ll look like twinkling lights, and because the flecks of glitter are pretty big, I bet we’ll be able to see ’em from a few feet away.

“We’ll just have to make sure we don’t go overboard with the rest of our eye look, which we can do by keeping the liner simple and skipping the false lashes.”

KAREN’S inner DRAG QUEEN: “B*tch, you know the last time I toned anything down was never. Does not compute!”

KAREN: “Okay, well, to turn it up instead, we can press the shadow directly on our lids. That should intensify the pigment even more, KAPOW! We’ll have to start with a layer of primer to get more of that glitter to latch on to our skin… Hey, I thought you were nervous about wearing so much glitter?”

KAREN’S inner DRAG QUEEN: “Last time I checked I was the one who held the diva card in this relationship, which means I can change my mind whenever I want.

[Snaps three times in a Z.]

“Now go about your business so I can practice lip-synching It’s Raining Men.”

As I was saying, this is one of those products where you really have to love glitter.

It’s not that the powders have a lot of fallout or anything. more that the flecks of glitter are fairly large, and there’s just so much of it that even when I’m careful to tap the excess off my brush before I apply and then clean up the glitter on my face with a makeup wipe, a few wayward flecks still find their way to my cheeks, nose and chin, and sometimes even my brows.

It helps when I do my eye makeup first, clean up any stray glitter with a makeup wipe (I like MAC Wipes and Kirkland daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes), and then do my foundation, brows, etc., afterward.

Basically, brace yourself for some stray glitter. If you’re gonna do the glitter dance with this quad, you just gotta go with the flow.

Le Prisme Eye Quad color & shine for metallic Eyes in Acoustic harmony #80 isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re not averse to the idea, it could be a fun way to inject drama into your eye makeup rutine.

Ganske bra, skjønt. Jeg likte det mye mer enn jeg trodde jeg ville etter å ha lest noen av vurderinger, og mer enn den andre Bourne-filmen med Matt. Jeg var ikke en stor fan av Shaky Handheld Camera Thing, som også ble brukt i denne, Ugh!

Jeg tror Jeremy var litt underutilisert også. Han kunne ha vært enda mer av en @ ss-kicker, og jeg håpet på en scene hvor han hadde kuttet Rachel Weiszs hår og deretter gjøre hennes sminke.

(Men høre Jeremy snakker tagalog på slutten var verdt prisen på opptak.)

How have Your charm routines altered Over the Last 10 Years?

2003, at the halfway point of the Haiku stairs on the windward side of Oahu
Do you wear much more makeup now or less? has your skincare regimen gotten much more challenging than it utilized to be? exactly how about your hair situation? Do you fuss with your mane much more these days than you did 10 years ago, or have you discovered to let it be?

Jeg er nysgjerrig. exactly how have your charm routines altered over the past decade?

ANNONSE

Let’s see… ten years back I was a wee lass o’ 28. My charm routines have certainly altered a great deal because then.

Ti år siden!
I’d state the most significant modifications have been with exactly how I do my hair. On a everyday basis, I don’t mess with it as much as I utilized to. It took a long time to like my naturally wavy hair as much as I do now. ten years back I was straightening it practically daily, which took 20-30 minutes as well as was the most time consuming part of getting prepared in the mornings for me.

Now I just let it do whatever it wants…and unsurprisingly that takes a great deal less time! I’m typically performed in five minutes. Fifteen at the most if I take a curling iron to it.

Of course, I utilize up that additional time with my skincare routine, which has gotten much more complicated. It utilized to be quite very little — cleanser, toner, benzoyl peroxide (for le zits), moisturizer as well as sunscreen.

I didn’t even utilize an eye cream back then! Nå gjør jeg det. I utilize method much more products than I utilized to, including anti-aging goodies (like this as well as this).

Christmas 2003: satisfying El Hub’s (at the time, “El Boyfriend’s”) household in Hawaii for the very first time
As for makeup, I believe I’m less fearful of trying new things as well as brighter colors than I was then. At 28, I mainly stuck to conventional colors — browns as well as beiges on my eyes, MAC Blushbaby on my cheeks as well as a slew of pinkish golden glosses (hello, MAC Nymphette).

My concept of pushing the envelope back then was a little amount of teal liner softly smudged along my upper lash line, as well as I would have never even thought about using bright coral or hot pink lips.

Shoot, now I’ll try anything!

Let’s hop in the Wayback Machine… ten years ago, what was your charm routine like? as well as exactly how has it altered over the past decade?

P.S. Tgif! Here’s to a loooong weekend (*raises coffee mug*).

I hope you slept well last night. I really slept in this morning…to 6:40, woo-hoo! That’s a great deal later than typical lately. between the Finch household as well as the Tabby alarm clock, 6:40 feels alright.

What’s the plan for today? You understand what I’m doin’. I’m hitting the pool, as well as then maybe, hopefully, the shopping center later today.

Moth in the crease, Pink Pepper on the lids as well as Damson along my lower lash lines; this eye look is really much a lot more glitteru in genuine life…the cam didn’t truly pick up on the shimmer

Things you must know…

Hva er de? They’re significantly shimmery, glitterful powder eyeshadows created to be used wet or dry.

Who may like ’em? Gals/guys who like bold, remarkable eye looks as well as makeup bling.

What’re they like? Shiny, pigmented as well as shimmery with very little autumn out

What else must you know? a few of the lighter pastel shades look alike on my NC 42 skin, which is a bummer, as well as a lot of of the shades don’t look extremely glittery in pics. however they sure perform in genuine life. We’re talkin’ HELLA glittery, however for some reason the cam doesn’t show the shimmer as much as I’d like. I truly have to crank up the flash.

What do they feel like? It varies, however a few of them are harder than I expected, like summertime Honey as well as rock Candy, while as well as others are incredibly buttery as well as simple to blend, like Pink Pepper, Damson as well as Midnight. None of them feel gritty, though, which is great.

How are they used? just pat them on your lids with a flat eyeshadow clean like the MAC 215 medium Shader or 239 Eye Shader (with these I like to utilize brushes with flat heads since I believe they make it much easier to press the products onto the skin). Then, sweep a matte shade into your crease for contrast.

How about value? Well, each $21 0.10-ounce pan of pressed Pigment is twice as big as a $15 0.05-ounce pan of routine MAC Eye Shadow. That’s a quite great value.

Which ones stick out in the crowd? From the ones I’ve used so far, coral Pink Pepper, golden brown Damnson as well as deep blue Midnight are the ones that have stood out so far.

PRICE: $21 each
AVAILABILITY: restricted edition as well as offered now on the internet as well as at worldwide as well as North American MAC stores as well as counters with September 12
Sminke samt klageblogg Rating: B +
