Meow, kitty cat. Happy Caturday! I hope you slept well last night.
This morning I was awoken by a dainty love bite on my left forearm… It was Tabs reminding me that he runs the show on Caturdays, and it was already 7 o’clock. Time to get up! Hop to it!
OK, so you may want to sit down for this one: we have some news about the MAC permanent line.
(Who gets excited about products being added to the permanent line?! THIS GIRL!)
I know, we live in a limited edition world, and we’re all mere spectators. We watch as wonderful products gets rotated on and off shelves, so when something great makes its way to the permanent line, especially when it’s in the MAC Extra Dimension formula, I get REALLY excited. Because you can fall in love and stay in love with it without worrying about it leaving you in the lurch someday.
Most of the time. Yeah, I’m still bitter about MAC Kid Eye Shadow being discontinued…
Anywho! MAC is adding 11 new shades of their new Extra Dimension Blush and three Extra Dimension Skinfinishes — one, a shimmery gold you might remember from the MAC Magic of the Night holiday collection a couple years back called Oh Darling. The other two are new.
I’m all about that blush/highlighter life so I’m stoked!
Expect to find these at MAC counters starting April 6th until the end of time…
OK, maybe not until the end of time…but they should be there a while.
In other news, here are some things that caught my eye in beauty news this week, including this — wait for it — BABY SPA.
Yes, it’s a legit spa for babies.
Little babies…not big babies like yours truly, LOL!
- At the Girls Auto Clinic in Philly, you can get your car serviced WHILE you get a mani. Hell, yeah! I’d take my Mazda there!
- Whoa! Did you know that Bebe and a whole mess of other stores I worked at and spent way too much money in (like The Limited) are closing? The times, they are a changin’…
- Crazy cool hair from Tokyo Fashion Week.
- This is so sweet. Oprah’s long-time makeup artist Reggie Wells glams up seniors in this Baltimore community.
- Grab a tissue, because this piece on mothers and daughters will give you all the feels.
- It’s been a while since I’ve wanted to do anything crazy to my hair, but the geode hair trend is giving me the itch again…
- Um…would you ever (or have you ever) use a hard-boiled egg to apply your foundation?
- Givenchy revamped their blushes, and they’re gorge.
- Yes, please! I wanna be a Bronze Goddess.
- So many creams! So many blues and greens! OPI is heading to Fiji (take me!) with their new spring 2017 collection.
- The Estée Edit Fluid Metal Shadows look like FUN, FUN, FUN!
- Here’s the 411 on The Ordinary, a new skincare line getting a lot of buzz.
- Three words: baby day spa.
And a few videos
To do this weekend: try this hooded eye makeup look.
I’m gonna have to cave and grab a Viseart palette.
In case you were wondering how nail polish is made…
Dupes for high-end products!
Rise and shine, morning glory. I’m just puttering around the house now and trying to figure out everything that I need to get done before I leave the house at 4 with my friend Marisol for a girls night out adventure. We’re heading to a winery in Healdsburg, which is about an hour north of us here in Novato, called Chateau Diana to hang out with other wine-lovin’ ladies.
I’m really looking forward to making convo with new people (and, yes, sipping wine). I’m a social creature.
And after that we’re gonna grab some pizza, and…how could pizza not make someone happy? Seriously, I dunno. It’s one of the best things ever.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, whatever you’re up to.
One word: glitter. I’m just throwing that out there. 🙂
Have a great day. Talk to you later.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Tisha says
Hope you have fun at the winery, Karen! Sounds like fun!
Also: ‘We live in a Limited-Edition world and we’re mere spectators’… Sounds like it could be on a T-shirt 😉
Anne says
I didn’t know Kid was d/c!!!! Wahhhhh.
I’m going to check out these links. Thank you! I sniffed Bronze Goddess for the first time this week. Wow. I’m in love. Going back today to smell it again and maybe purchasing it.
Have an amazing time tonight. I have a 1 & 3 year old so I’ll be living vicariously through you tonight 🙂
Chelsea says
Have fun Karen! I slept ridiculously late because I have a cold. I’m helping with a burlesque show tonight so I need all the rest I can get before I have to let the charm bomb out.
Mina just sat on my hair while I was typing this! Ow! Silly girl. She wanted to look out the window.

Reggie Wells always seemed like a cool guy to hang with.
Agata says
I am so glad you get to have a girls night out. I haven’t had one of those in a while. Moving states and away from your friends sucks. And I feel it’s really hard to make new friends and meet new people.
I am super excited about these Mac Extra Dimension blushes!!
Eleni says
I’m really interesting in trying more if the Estee Edit fluids. Have one and love it. Hope you enjoyed the girls’ night out! Since I got married, I get fewer of these hehehe! But it’s always such fun!
Sakura says
Oh my! I’m here in Philly, but didn’t know about that cool auto shop! Sounds like a fun day for you. I’m craving the warmer weather. Giving myself a faux tan to get in the spirit. The weather here is like a yo yo!
