If you’ve been reading my messages here, you understand that I’ve truly struggled with adult acne, as well as particularly with being comfortable in my own skin. just recently with my dermatologist prescribed medications, I lastly felt that I had discovered a routine that helped me, however the products commonly left my skin dry, red and, at times, extremely itchy. Sometimes, after utilizing these medications, applying different products as well as makeup on my skin would likewise cause irritations.

Then I discovered the Boots No7 safeguard as well as ideal as well as Boots No7 younger lines, as well as now I believe I’ve lastly figured out precisely what my skin’s issue is.

It’s moisture. I really need more of it.

I was a bit wary of all of the wetness in these products. After all, I can be kind of an oil slick, as well as I’m always scared of waking up in the morning to find that the products I used the night before haven’t sunk into my skin, as well as now I have a huge grease face.

But these products didn’t just work well; they really improved my skin over time. On the packaging they guarantee much better looking skin in four weeks, so that’s exactly how much time I provided them.

Let’s begin with the Boots No7 younger Replenishing Facial Oil. This is the product I begin with every night before bed, applying it to a freshly washed as well as cleansed face.

This non-greasy blend of jojoba as well as rosehip seed oils sinks into my skin in however a moment. I typically concentrate it around the areas where I’m driest as well as red, like the apples of my cheeks; the sides of my nose, where I have some damaged capillaries; as well as the areas on my chin where I have some acne scarring.

There’s likewise a bit cautioning on the back that actually says, “May make surfaces slippery,” as well as they aren’t kidding. The bottle is glass, as well as I practically dropped it on my restroom floor a number of times. despite that fact, though, it makes a fantastic precursor to…

The Boots No7 safeguard as well as ideal night Cream, which is my follow-up to the Replenishing Oil. It blends in seamlessly, as well as has a clean scent that doesn’t irritate my skin. As far as the Day cream goes, I wasn’t sure exactly how it would work out, however I was pleasantly surprised. many of the time when I utilize moisturizers with SPF, they tend to clump up when I try to put makeup on top of them, however that isn’t the situation here. It dries good as well as matte.

Makeup and beauty blog Monday Poll, Vol. 416

You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”

ठिक छ, यो वास्तवमै चुनाव छैन। It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.

What’s one beauty product you like to always have a backup of?
Living proof perfect Hair Day dry Shampoo, otherwise known as “the best dry shampoo on the planet, and perhaps even the universe.”

I always get one or more of them when I can snag them on sale, like during the Sephora VIB sales, because I never want to be without at least one backup bottle.

When was the last time you spoke to someone in your family?
Hmm… Let’s see… I think it was my brother.

Yeah, it was my brother. He called the other night while I was eating dinner/shoveling food into my face, and we talked for about 10 minutes about baby poo and DJ’s…

And then before that it was my mom, who called earlier in the day, and I think we may have also talked about baby poo… It’s been a hot topic round here.

What was the last bad movie you watched?
Can I just say here that there are a lot of bad movies on Netflix?

I know this because I spend most of my days lately feeding Connor Claire while watching Netflix (it’s our version of “Netflix and Chill,” HA!), and I’ve started and stopped so many bad movies that I think I pulled a muscle in my remote control hand.

I don’t know where I’m going with this…

I think the movie was actually something we rented on iTunes called Results, with guy Pearce.

I mean, on the scale of bad, it wasn’t absolutely terrible, but it was just…I dunno…boring. It didn’t really seem to go anywhere.

What’s a phrase you say a lot?
“Well, hello, little person!” which I say to Connor Claire whenever she gets up for a feeding or a diaper change.

And I also say “Get that butt outta my face!” to Tabs quite a lot.

LOL!

Who makes the best chocolate?
For me, it’s See’s Candies, fo’ sho’!

Mmm… Milk chocolate buttercream…

An Affable autumn Moody Monday makeup look for a Folksy fall

I wasn’t sure what to call this look… Moody Monday? Or Folksy Fall? how about Affable Autumn?

So I’m leaning toward a combination of all three — an Affable autumn Moody Monday makeup look for a Folksy fall — because it’s overcast and drizzling ideal now (it rained hard last night), and part of me absolutely wants to be sitting by a warm fire under a flannel blanket while sipping a mug of hot cocoa, while another part of me wants to be walking around outside in the rain dressed in black from head to toe with my headphones on while listening to happiness Division.

विज्ञापन

Basically, I’m feelin’ it.

There are three main concepts at work in this cozy/moody Monday makeup look. First, it features a warm matte reddish brown smoky eye. Second, the edges of the winged liner have been blurred. and third, the dark matte plum lip.

It’s a lot of look, for sure, but I think it all goes well together, especially if the weather where you are is anything like the weather is here now. It’s like it just turned full-on fall last night!

Skipping the winged liner or leaving out the falsies would tone it down. Or, you could not line your lower water line with the black liner, and just leave your lower water line bare.

Of course, to go the other way completely and improve the drama, you could go a lot more intense with the brows, or add a gloss on top of the plum lip, or use a gel or liquid liner, which would add even a lot more oomph (I just used a black eyeshadow applied with a wet brush). any of those tweaks would look incredibly cool.

Oh — that shimmery highlighter I’m wearing in the inner corners of my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, on my upper cheekbones and on the Cupid’s Bow? I left it out at first because I wanted to stick to mattes, but then after seeing myself in my first test pics, I thought it looked a bit flat, so I added the highlighter.

The Maybelline Eye studio color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated Crayons: An amazing drugstore find

I’ve talked about how much I love eyeshadow sticks, so I was already primed and ready to like these Maybelline Eye studio color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated Crayons.  

I was not, however, expecting to love them!  

विज्ञापन

Here’s just a quick look in any way 10 of these exceptionally smooth and crazy pigmented eyeshadow sticks. Plus, they have major staying power. The packaging says up to 24 hours…but I didn’t test them for that long.  Suffice to say, they last a full workday with no fading at all. I am so pleased with these shadows that I won’t be disrespectful and say that they’re only “good for a drugstore brand.” They’re just awesome period, and the icing on the cake is that you can get them at Target for $6 each.

Since there are 10 shades in the line, I broke them down by color family.  

The pinks and purples…

Maybelline Eye studio color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated crayons in Pink Parfait, Lilac Lust and extravagant Lavender
As you can see, these are very sparkly, but still very pigmented.  I find Pink Parfait to be very similar to Pink Pearl by Boots No. 7, and Lilac Lust and extravagant Lavender seem a lot more special to me, especially among the world of eyeshadow sticks.  

Of this group, my favorite is Lilac Lust.

As for the gold and bronze shades…

Maybelline Eye studio color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated crayons in barely Beige, Gold Rush, Bronze Truffle and Creamy Chocolate
The gold and bronze group are my heart and soul. I really love these shades, and with how easy these crayons are to use, I see them being staples in my makeup routine.

Plus, the bottoms on these crayons twist up, so you don’t even have to worry about finding a sharpener!  Of the golds and bronzes, Bronze Truffle is my favorite because it isn’t too cool toned or warm, so it’ll opt for pretty much any lipstick/blush combo.

Lastly, the smokey grays…

Maybelline Eye studio color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated crayons in Grey Crystal, Charcoal Chrome and Audacious Asphalt
All of these, especially Charcoal Chrome, must be great for evening looks. When I swatch Grey Crystal alone, it looks like a bright silver, but next to Charcoal Chrome you can see a lot more of its blue tones.  

The big surprise here for me is Audacious Asphalt. I was absolutely expecting a black, or at least a dark gray, but it looks green to me. The formula is great and smooth and pigmented, though. It’s just that based on the name and the packaging, it isn’t what I expected.

Pretty pixels
Ridin’ rose gold

It literally took me days to figure out that the image on the palette is a closed eye. maybe I was too preoccupied by the rose gold action happening inside.

I love this mix of colors. The colors are flashy enough for fun but flexible enough to incorporate into responsible life looks. There are pinks, warm and neutral browns, coppers, cranberries, bronzes and a bit o’ beige for balance. many of them are new colors, but I recognize some old faves, like matte beige Biarritz and dark brown Coconut Grove (oldie but goodie).

The big news: a new powder eyeshadow formula

Here’s the big thing, though: everything in the palette has a new reformulated powder formula. It’s expected to be much more pigmented than the current NARS shadow formula, but I’m not completely sold on how much much more pigmented they are yet.

विज्ञापन

Granted, they are pretty pigmented, as NARS shadows typically are, but they seem maybe just a tad much more pigmented than usual.

They do feel NARS soft and silky, though, and I easily get 12 hours of wear time with them.

Now, with a reformulation, you expect things to be better, and I expected there to be less fallout than typical with these, but the fallout is common of the current formula, which isn’t all bad, because I don’t get a ton of fallout from NARS shadows anyway. I have to do a bit of cleanup underneath my eyes and on my cheeks when I use this palette, as I finish with other NARS eyeshadows.

Another thing, this Coconut Grove, which is a workhorse dark matte chocolate brown that I also have as a single from the permanent line, is sooo different than the single version. The permanent version applies as a solid block of color on my skin, but this one looks sadly choppy.

I like that there’s a mix of mattes and shimmers.
A good color selection for warm skin tones
That’s NARS Wild night on my lips.
The colors will get a lot of people excited, as they should. This is a bad-@ss blend of current colors in a palette you could have a lot of fun with.

The thought of a new formula will also get a lot of people excited, and on that, I can say that the new formula is essentially no worse than typical for NARS (with the exception of Coconut Grove).

I love NARS, and I love these colors, even if the new formula isn’t earth shattering.

Conquering My concern of the Buxom Full-On Lip Creams

Well…they sure do look good, right?
Full Disclosure: I’ve been terrified to try the Buxom Full-On Lip Cream for ages.

I heard them explained as “plumping” as well as “tingling” as well as was like, “Oooh, girl. No.” Like, I was seriously anxious about trying these glosses! however since I take my task as a appeal blog writer extremely seriously, I lastly took the plunge.

विज्ञापन

There are 15 shades in all, $20 each (available now at Ulta), as well as I have five of them right here — Peach Daiquiri, Pink Champagne, Grape Groove, Sangria as well as Berry Bramble.

First up is Peach Daiquiri, which is extremely sheer with just a hint of a peachy undertone. On my bare lips, it’s not especially groundbreaking, however I do believe it would look great over a nude lipstick to provide it a bit life.

Wearing Buxom Full-On Lip cream in Peach Daiquiri
Pink champagne is one more extremely light gloss that would most likely work much better over a lipstick than on its own, at least for me.

Both Peach Daiquiri as well as Pink champagne are type of high maintenance, though, in that lines type as well as the color clumps a bit when I press my lips together.

So I believe the light shades are honestly type of underwhelming, however the darker shades are great, like Grape Groove, which has a light purple tint that adds just sufficient color to the deal with without being as well bold.

Wearing Buxom Full-On Lip cream in Grape Groove
And then there’s Sangria. I believe it’s a truly quite red gloss, as well as if a straight-up matte red lipstick is as well much for you, choose a gloss! And this one’s so summery.

Wearing Buxom Full-On Lip cream in Sangria
Lastly, there’s Berry Bramble, which is most likely the one I’ll reach for the most out of the shades here. It’s a lot more pigmented than Grape Groove however a bit lower crucial than Sangria.

It’s just such a lovely gloss, as well as I believe it’s a excellent example of the Buxom Full-On Lip Creams at their best. The color applies smoothly as well as lasts quite well for a gloss.

Wearing Buxom Full-On Lip cream in Berry Bramble
After trying these out, I completely admit that my fears were a bit bit…overblown. There is a little tingly feeling when I wear them, however it fades after a couple minutes. There’s likewise a cotton candy odor that I LOVE, however it’s not as well overpowering. 

I will state that these are a tad sticky, although that seems to likewise assist them last a bit longer than some glosses do on my lips.

I believe these glosses are ideal in the middle of the lipgloss spectrum. They aren’t absolutely sheer, however they aren’t completely opaque (like the Tarteist glossy Lip Paints or Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipglosses) either.

MEOWZA! Tarte Sex Kitten liquid eyeliner

$20 Tarte Sex Kitten liquid Liner
Let’s step into the feline woman confessional for a moment, shall we? since I have a couple things to get off my chest…which is currently covered in tabby fur.

First: sometimes I believe about kidnapping my neighbor’s feline Harris, as well as I may or may not have already concocted an elaborate plan to lure him into my home.

I understand this is wrong, however I can’t assist it.

Super consumed with this splendid beast! (Please don’t tell Tabs.)
Second: mostly, I like utilizing Tarte Sex Kitten liquid liner since there’s a feline head on the end of it.

Look exactly how adorable he is!! He looks kinda grumpy, too, which speaks to my soul, particularly in the morning.

OK…now I’m looking carefully at this feline head, as well as I just realized that he looks a bit beat up. My poor for not taking photos of him (yes, he’s a boy) sooner.

Beauty blogging is weird, man. most of the time I select not to utilize a product up until after I’ve taken pics of it first, however sometimes — like WHEN YOU have A feline HEAD ON THE CAP OF YOUR liquid liner — I get so excited that I fail to remember to take the “before” pics. then I end up with a somewhat tow-up feline head.

Meowza!

BTW, this thing is truly good! It’s a great deal like Clinique quite Easy, which I believe is the most easy to use liquid liner available now.

Like quite Easy, Sex Kitten is intensely pigmented, black as well as shiny, as well as it has a versatile felt tip that’s simple to draw thick or thin lines with. Figuring out exactly how to do flicks with Sex Kitten was a bit tricky, though. It’s somewhat longer than quite Easy.

Sex Kitten likewise dries in about 30 seconds, so you won’t have to sit there humming wonderful Caroline permanently with your eyes closed (ugh, don’t you dislike it when wet liner transfers up into your crease?). as well as when it dries, not even the abrasive caress of a cat’s tongue licking your lid will eliminate it. Tabs can attest to this.

Wearing Tom Ford Burnished Copper on my lids as well as MAC Saddle in my crease. The liner is Tarte Sex Kitten liquid Liner.
I such as this as a cruelty-free, vegan alternate to Clinique quite Easy. on that note, isn’t it fantastic exactly how we have so many makeup options these days? like with liner, back in the day, you had two options — black or brown. as well as perhaps one brand. That was it.

I stated “peace out” to my 42nd year on the earth last night with a see to the health club on the Plaza, as well as uh… So good. Afterwards, I hit up the heavy steam room, as well as considering that nobody was there (I was one of the last visits of the day), I spread out a lot of towels, laid down, tucked a towel beneath my neck, as well as sweated it out.

The health club had these elegant showers with three shower heads — one directly overhead, one than hits you from the front, as well as one that hits from the side — as well as no joke, I was in there for 30 minutes! यो Was. Glorious.

The health club was stocked — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors — however halfway with I kept in mind one time when Cindy, Jen as well as I went to a health club a few years back, as well as Jen brought her own body scrub, hair mask as well as deal with mask to turn the elegant health club shower into an “experience,” as well as I desire I’d believed of doing that this time.

Maybe (hopefully) next birthday.

Now, we’re off to the aquarium! I have it on great authority that Dori as well as Nemo were last identified there…

Here are some stories last week that caught my eye…

The Fenty impact is officially a thing now, as a lot more as well as a lot more brands are using a broader variety of foundation shades.

There’s a little however growing pro-gray hair neighborhood on social media, as well as it’s starting to shake up the hair care industry.

This month I started testing products from Frank Beauty, an Australian line offered in the U.S. now, as well as this post talks about one of the co-founders, Bree Johnson, as well as exactly how she as well as her partners developed the business into a worldwide brand.

Makeup artist Thomas de Kluyver is new to me, however he’s been doing club-inspired makeup considering that his club days in the ’90s. now he’s popular for his magazine as well as runway work. His style isn’t what I’d wear a lot of days, however I like his artistry as well as exactly how he utilizes color in unconventional ways.

This is what it’s like to have a tailor-made perfume produced for you by the Queen of England’s personal perfumer.

I can’t believe there are people available who’d requirement or want this, buuuuut if you’ve been expecting a sound that shoots out perfume whenever somebody phone calls your cell, right here YA GO.

Speaking of technology, this turning kitty litter maker looks absolutely terrifying, however it allegedly makes it much easier to scoop poop.

I’ve gotta say thanks to this person — well, technically say thanks to his nose! — for producing one of my fave scents of the ’90s: CK One. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas, likewise the nose behind Marc Jacobs Daisy, Estée Lauder Pleasures as well as Kenzo Flower, was shocked by the success of CK One. about it he says…
“In all honesty, I never expected CK One to be that famous. Sure, I hope all of my creations are successful, however I never understood it would be so quick as well as leave such a enduring impact,” he says. “In as bit as three months, everybody in the world desired CK One, as well as it’s the very first time something like that had occurred in my career. young women, men, everybody took pleasure in using it as well as that was such a special thing — it still is. In the world of perfumery, things like that don’t occur extremely often.”

Have you seen any type of appeal products that consist of “starfish fluid,” because, apparently, it’s a thing? like a dairy farmer, fishermen in Canada milk fluid from starfish for utilize by the cosmetic industry.

Seriously, who knew?!

good morning, meow mix! Do you ever have short-term bouts of cat clothing-related insanity? I’m going to venture a guess now that this does not come as a shock, but I do, and mine routinely occur at Target.

I was there the other day when I saw this children’s dress… Or is it a tunic top? I’m not exactly sure what it is, TBH! It was on a rack. When I saw it, I paused and thought, “Hmm… If I can find it in an XL, I bet I could wear it as a t-shirt!”

विज्ञापन

LOL. then I concerned my senses… Can ya blame me, though? That cat is very cute! नि?

Oh, and I also saw this interesting mint green coat that reminds me of the restroom rug my parents had in the ’80s, ha ha!

I kinda wanted to get it, but I held back because I already own enough clothing that makes me look like a Muppet…

On that note, let’s get to this weekend’s reading.

In case you were wondering what to do if your cat is peeing on your boyfriend’s laundry…

Up until recently, the scientific community mostly ignored the bio-mechanics of cat grooming, but researchers recently discovered that the spiny bumps on cat tongues, which are known as papillae, are actually curved backward toward the throat, and they’re now applying this knowledge of cat tongues to the development of cutting-edge technology for hoomans.

Netflix has a new drama coming out called Perfume, and it isn’t about the dark goings-on at a haunted fragrance counter… In it, a criminal profiler investigates a series of murders that trace back to a group of boarding school students who once experimented with psychologically manipulating people using scents.

Even the Queen loves Charlotte Tilbury!

What does “clean beauty” even mean? There isn’t a clear-cut definition here in the U.S., and the marketing can be hella confusing.

This post talks about common chemicals used in cosmetics (including parabens and phthalates), and what different camps of people within the charm world think of them.

Good to know —> Google is working on motorized shoes ? for virtual reality.

This baby sloth loves eyebrows! (Side note: I wonder what he or she thinks about Instagram brows.)

This photo moved me to tears.

A dermatologist’s guide to layering your skin-care products.

Things to keep in mind if you’re a darker diva and you’re thinking about microblading your brows.

In case you haven’t noticed, teen heartthrob hair is having a may-jah moment.
