Her smize, though!

Well, this is probably the best makeup I’ve worn in weeks.

Possibly months.

This is what the first day of Christmas break looked like ’round these parts. First, Coycoy did my lewk, and when I asked her to break down the essentials she said, “It’s bold. It’s fashion. It’s a mustache.” 😂

Then she did her own FOTD.

Seriously, how did this child figure out that unblended, over-drawn, ’90s style lip on her own?! LOL! I will never know.

On that note, this week’s reading!

  • Because swatching is on lockdown, many beauty lovers have been relying on selfie technology to virtually “try before you buy.”
  • Speaking of selfies…Google launched a new AR (augmented reality) feature on Search so holiday shoppers can “try on” lipsticks and eyeshadow from home.
  • My makeup spirit animal, Sir John, put his signature makeup spin on a bunch of Barbie dolls, and the results are all sorts of fabulous.
  • The ancient town of Kannauj is the perfume capital of India.
  • In case you were looking for a new nail polish line to try…
  • There’s also this one (hint: it involves one of the members of the Backstreet Boys)!
  • Bakuchiol is a buzzy skin care ingredient that’s supposed to be a comparable alternative to retinol.


I may or may not have just added everything in this video to my wishlist.


This look is super pretty.


YUM


When two worlds collide!


Because I’ve watched all the episodes of The Crown and I neeeeeeed MOAR

How’s it going?! What are your plans for the day? Rosie and I have some wrapping (rapping?) to do while El Hub and the Coywolf go for a hike, so that’s my day. How about you? I hope all is well.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Connor Claire looks very pleased with herself in that first picture, lol! Not much going on here today, finishing up wrapping some gifts and hopefully get around to some cleaning later!

      I just finished wrapping some gifts too! I really wanted to go to Trader Joe’s today but since we’re on stay-at-home orders, it looks like I’m going to have to do a Target pickup run. (Thank goodness they have food!)

      Have you started your cleaning yet?

        The cleaning will have to happen tomorrow. I ended up making some Christmas goodies, also know as “procastibaking”!

    Loved reading about Lil Yachty’s nail polish launch! Really cool idea. My son and I painted our nails this week. ☺️ I painted his yellow and he painted mine blue and purple. Perfect mother and son bonding! 💅❤️

    Love Connor’s expression in that first photo!
    Dang I wish I hadn’t watched that Coronation video. I got sucked down the hole of watching videos about the royal family.

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).
