Car Selfies

July 8th, 2014 by Karen 16 Comments

Three, two, one…CHEEESE!

LOL! I’m pretty sure the trucker who was stuck next to us on Highway 37 in bumper-to-bumper traffic thought I was a weirdo, but whatevs.

I took these last night as El Hub and I were on our way to dinner in Napa for our anniversary.

I literally only had, from start to finish, about 5 minutes to do my makeup before we left the house, so I blazed through this look figuring I’d be able to make any adjustments and fixes in the car on the way to the restaurant.

Of course, me being me, aka “always in a hurry and five minutes late,” I forgot my makeup bag at home.

Doh!

Aaaand, I didn’t realize until after I looked closely at these pics that my brows were a little wackadoo, haha!

Oh, well.

Wish I could say that my makeup always turns out perfectly, but that’s so not the case, especially when I’m rushing.

I did finally get to break in Chanel New Moon, though, which I’m happy about. I patted it on bare lids (didn’t even have time to put down primer), and then smudged MAC Teddy liner on my lash lines.

That’s Chanel Malice on my cheeks and NARS Giza gloss, with MAC Gingerroot Cremestick Liner, on my lips.

Gingerroot is discontinued, but I love it so, so much… I only bust it out for special occasions.

    Happy Anniversary!

    New Moon keeps haunting me. I left it behind the last time I was at the Chanel counter (picked up Mirage instead) and I definitely regret it. Such a stunning shade!

    Oh my, New Moon looks absolutely gorgeous paired with MAC Teddy. What a fantastic, yet quick and simple look.

    Hope you had an amazing anniversary! Here’s to many more!

    Such a fresh look! Mr. M prefers this kind of makeup on me for dates anyway (though I rarely oblige, haha). Is your husband the same?

    I think your brows look just fine Karen 🙂 I wouldn’t have noticed anything if you hadn’t said it! The New Moon is looking pretty fab, and of course you always look great!

    Happy Anniversary!

    I hope you guys had a great time. And you look totally fab so forgetting your makeup bag just gave you one less thing to tote around. 🙂
    PS You’re killing me with the Malice. It’s all I could think of while buffing on my NARS today. I already felt like a traitor!

    Happy Anniversary, Karen!! I just purchased Malice due to your recent review and am loving it as well :). Your makeup looks beautiful, especially for doing it in just 5 minutes — that’s amazingly fast!

    You look beautiful! I think some of my best looks were when I only had 5 minutes to do my makeup. It keeps things natural and you end up enhancing what you want/need to enhance! Happy anniversary!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
