When you live within 5 minutes of both an Ulta and a Sephora, and it’s your birthday, well…this happens.
I couldn’t resist grabbing some things from my beauty wishlist. 🙂 And, um, some other just-for-fun items may have accidentally fallen into my basket too, whoops!
- Peter Thomas Roth Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment
- Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
- Curel Makeup Cleansing Oil
- The Laneige Birthday Gift from Sephora (Lip Sleeping Mask, Water Sleeping Mask, Water Bank Moisture Cream)
- Colorpop BFF Volumizing Mascara in Blue Ya Mind
I’ll probably also end up getting another bottle of Olive & June polish, which I LOVE, because I’m going to treat Connor to lunch, a new book and a sparkly nail polish today since she’s done with preschool. Yesterday was her last official day of preschool! *sniffs*
It’s a cliché for a reason, but dang, time sure flies… It really does seem like we were just practicing walking to her classroom for the first time, and then she was finishing her first year, then second year, and now… She’s heading to Kindergarten this fall. I mean that’s big league now!
Her “graduation” was held in the preschool parking lot, and yes, as anticipated, I got a little teary (OK, a lot). Waterproof mascara was definitely in the mix!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. TGIF! I hope you have a nice weekend lined up.

You got some nice goodies there! Would love a report on the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream and the Curel Cleansing Oil. I’ve used other Curel products I’ve gotten in Japan and liked them, can’t say they were loves though. Currently use Clinique TTDO cleansing oil but always on the lookout for something equally effective but even less expensive.
Cute pictures of Connor! Have a fun summer with her!

Happy Birthday, Karen! I hope you and Connor Claire have a great day. Wow, it seems like yesterday that you were blogging that you were pregnant-it is hard to believe Connor will be in kindergarten! I will be interested to know what you think of the Laneige set. I got the same set back in January. I loved the eye treatment, and I loved the way the mask and moisturizer felt, but I could not see a difference in my skin at all. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, happy belated birthday, happy end of the school year! Every year after the last day of school, my parents would play Alice Cooper “School’s Out” through the whole house.
Looks like you got some nice stuff! I forgot about Sephora birthday gifts, mine is next month!
I love the chalk drawings – I like seeing them at the park Hettie and I usually go to. We’ll go through a hopscotch together sometimes ?
Jane says
Happy Birthday Karen! I hope you have a great day. Congratulations to Connor on her graduation from Pre-School. Cherish all these moments. They truly are precious, and remember “tears are allowed”.
Be well and enjoy the weekend!

I was just looking at the Sephora birthday gifts, I’m 46 today, and they’re all good! It’s going to be a tough decision! Lol! Yay for Connor Claire starting Kinder, she’s going to learn so much! But once Kinder starts, time flies! It’s horrible, but amazing!

Wow, Connor is SO grown up! And so beautiful and full of happy confidence! You’re doing a great job, mom!
And Curel Makeup Cleansing Oil?!! I want that! I’ll have to be watching for it when it finally shows up around here. Cleansing oils are the only thing I use to remove eye makeup and I could never do the micellar water thing because of having to wipe a cotton pad over my eyes. Rinse off oil is my thing.
Happy Birthday and best wishes for all wonderful things!
Vita says
Congratulations to your sweet Connor Claire – reading this post made me teary in excitement for you and knowing that feeling myself. She is such a bright, smiley girl – so cute. Congratulations to you too Karen – this is no small feat getting her here and so well amid a pandemic to boot.
I think you deserve all of the Sephora treats you got yourself. Good on you! Now go indulge in self care.

Nice haul! Congratulations to Connor. She’s getting to be so big.
Anne says
Oh, look how grown up she already is? And how proud she smiles!
Iris says
Happy birthday, and congrats to Connor!
I got the Laneige bday set from Sephora too! You have a nice weekend as well!
Sherry says
