I haven’t gone makeup shopping in person in months, which is probably no surprise to anyone reading this. Adding things to my online carts and leaving them there for weeks until I pull the trigger will have to suffice for now, I guess.
Currently percolating on my lust list…
Bossy Cosmetics Power Woman Essentials Collection
This collection of liquid lipsticks will be launching soon, and the colors teased on Insta look gorgeous! I love rose gold packaging, too…
Uoma Say What?! Foundation, $39
Lots of shades in this base range (51!). I’m interested in seeing how the “blurring technology to minimize pores” works!
Beauty Bakerie Neopolitan Bar and Brown Bar Mini Blush Palettes, $18 each
As a former professional baker (for, like, two seconds, LOL!), all the baking-inspired packaging and the foodie names in this line speak to my soul *and* my sweet tooth. These blush trios look like something I could wear every day.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix 24-Hour Cream Color Mattes, $18 each
These long-wearing matte creams work on eyes, lips and cheeks. I want some bright pinks and corals for cheeks and lips (and maybe the occasional crazy eye look), and a few of the neutral browns and peaches for the every stuff.
Coloured Raine Call the Shots Highlighter/Blush Duo, $12.50
“I don’t need to fall in love with a limited edition blush duo. I don’t need to fall in love with a limited edition blush duo. I don’t need to fall in love with a limited edition blush duo.”
Yeah, keep telling yourself that, babe!
A friend of mine, Joey, recommended this line, especially these blushes, which are now on sale. This one looks so good, though. There’s a vivid coral on one side and a deep peachy copper on the other.
Coloured Raine Eyeshadow Singles, $6.99
The matte and satin browns look especially delicious: Gingerbread, Hot Cocoa, Moments and S’mores.
Of course I would want the ones that sound like food! 😋
Ace Beautè Paradise Fallen Palette, $34.99
Purples and browns and smokey, OH MY!
Vie Beauty 30 Roses, $40
My friend Jane at Daly Beauty raves about this hydrating and toning facial mist, which is supposed to restore balance to skin and reduce inflammation.
JD Glow Pastel Matte Gel Liners in Neon Blue Green and Neon Purple, $9.50 each
I like the idea of a thick swish of this liner on a matte brown lid.
What’s currently on your makeup wish list?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Guess whose birthday it is today… 😊 (MINE!) Happy birthday to me!!! LOL.

Something to think about: I have been using: Tower 28 (Save Our Skin) Daily Rescue Facial Spray. On the bottle it says: helps soothe irritation and defend against daily damage from skin’s everyday stressors including makeup, sweat, grime and pollution. I have to say I really love it – it also removes bacteria on skin (prevents pimples). This stuff cleared up my skin instantly. I like it so much, I have already purchased a second bottle. Sephora has it.

Will you be baking yourself a cake or some cupcakes?
Wishing you a year that gets better and better!
And what’s on my wishlist? Shu Uemura Chromatics palette in Sakura Nude. Not available in the U.S. And no shipping from Japan since there aren’t enough flights to put mail in the cargo hold. Sigh.

June 9th, 2020 at 12:26 pmHappy Birthday pretty kitty!
I hope hubs and Connor are spoiling you!
I’m having bad Sephora withdrawals. The ones in Maine I don’t think are close to opening yet. And while I will want to go in the nanosecond they open, it’s also going to be so weird and different without being able to touch and try All The Things. Ya know?

I always want to eat out for my birthday, but that wouldn’t be happening here now. Hope you find something fun to do to celebrate your birthday.
Nikki Wogoman says
June 10th, 2020 at 12:24 amJan, are restaurants in your area able to offer takeout? I know it won’t be the same as the regular restaurant experience, but if you can get takeout from your favorite restaurant on your birthday, you might be able to bring home a little piece of that festive feeling!

I’m always in the look out for something new . Maybe a bronzer since I don’t sit in the sun 🌞

Rachel Runyan says
June 9th, 2020 at 6:08 pmHappy Birthday! Great wish list with great brands. There’s a few here I haven’t tried. Noting for next time I splurge. I love the Paradise Fallen Palette. It’s a little powdery, but beautiful. I want to try more from Uoma. I got one of the Black Carnival lipsticks, and it’s utterly gorgeous.

Lydia says

Karen says

June 10th, 2020 at 9:06 amFrom one Karen to another… Happiest of Birthdays & warm wishes for many more! I so enjoy your posts, your attitude about life, family & above all MAKEUP and I am inspired to try more than a few of your tips for hooded lids. My lids did not start out as hooded, but with age & major health issues, those bad boys are drooping as badly as other parts of me! ( I’m 59 not a spring chickee like you are!). I hope you have a wonderful day with your hub & sweetie-pie Conner & share pics, okay?
Karen says
June 10th, 2020 at 1:11 pmThank you, Karen!
P.S. You’re still a spring chicken in my eyes. 🙂
Sherry says
June 10th, 2020 at 7:02 pmI’m a day late…sorry about that. Happy Birthday Karen!! You look fabulous!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!
