You guys. So, it occurred to me the other day when I did the same look for the umpteen millionth time with lashes, liner and a nude lip that I might be in a makeup rut.

Like a severe makeup rut!

And I think I need help.

So, where do you go when you need help? You ask your girlfriends, of course.

Here’s the deal. I just… ideal before I had the baby, I was sooo worn out all the time. I wasn’t wearing a lot of makeup at all. Then, after I had the baby, it got even worse, because then I didn’t have any energy or time to put on makeup.

But Connor is four months old now, and I’m ready to get back into my groove and my regular life again, but I’ve gotten used to only putting in the tiniest amount of effort, and things like doing a full-on smokey eye are very daunting.

I haven’t worn a lot of makeup in five or six months, which is a long time for me. I just really haven’t been taking care of myself in that way for a while.

I’m guessing that this is something a lot of women go through? I don’t know… I’ve spoke to pals about it, about getting into certain routines with your look of like, I dunno, wearing your hair or doing your makeup the same way for weeks or months, and I’m absolutely in that monkey house.

I’m trying though. The other day I laid out a whole bunch of eye products and took pictures of them, because not only am I kind of out of practice when it pertains to putting on my makeup (I think I’ve lost a little bit of the muscle memory?), I also haven’t spent a lot of time in front of my camera.

So I was looking in any way of these stunning colors and finishes and the different formulas — the creams, powders and whatnot — on the table in front of me and started thinking, “What if I layer this shade with that one?” and “What if I blend these two things together?”

I thought it was a eureka moment!

I felt like I finally figured something out, but the next day when I sat down to do my makeup, I went ideal back to — you guessed it! — lashes, liner and a nude lip.

The thing is, I really do miss doing a lot more with my makeup. म चाहन्छु। I’m just stuck or something.

And maybe this is also a metaphor for my life in some ways. Not to sound too corny, but there are things I want to do and so lots of paths I want to explore, but at this point in my life, I’ve gotten accustomed to the patterns of my day and living those same patterns day in , घुमघाम। It’s gotten harder and harder to push myself in new directions.

I mean, yeah, things have absolutely changed a lot considering that the baby came along, but still, it’s different from when I was in my teens, twenties and early thirties, when, seriously, it felt like something was always happening to get me out of my comfort zone. now it’s been so long considering that I’ve pushed myself that way that I don’t know how it feels anymore.

From L-R: Boots No7 younger Replenishing Facial Oil, safeguard as well as ideal Day/Night Cream, safeguard as well as ideal intense Eye Cream, as well as younger Eye Serum
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.

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.

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…

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’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.
