Saturday Surfing, July 11, 2020

July 11th, 2020 by Karen 2 Comments

Hiya and good morning. 🙂 Welcome to the weekend! I’ve got chores up the wazoo early on in the day today, starting with SO much laundry and cleaning, so a short and sweet check-in on this beautiful Saturday!

What are you up to?

  • Beauty brands are now creating makeup that’s easier to open and apply for people living with A.L.S., Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and arthritis.
  • 9 of the best drugstore mascaras, according to makeup artists.
  • You’ve probably seen Nick Dudman’s work if you’ve watched Harry Potter or Carnival Row/ He’s a makeup effects designer (yes, that’s a real job!), and this is what a typical workday in his life is like.
  • Speaking of Harry Potter, Ulta just launch a Harry Potter makeup collection.
  • All of the foolproof tips and tricks to know if you’re going for a dewy base.
  • How Zoë Kravitz’s makeup artist organizes her makeup when she’s working with clients.
  • The pro’s guide to makeup and skin care when you’re wearing a mask.
  • Like an ice cream truck, but for fragrance — this shop on wheels sells perfume (at an appropriate social distance, of course) all over NYC.
  • Apparently, derms loooooove niacinamide.
  • A family’s cat receives a voter registration application in the mail (p.s. the kitty left for the rainbow bridge 12 years ago).
  • This is why catnip makes your cat crazy!
  • Felines have been seducing cat ladies for nearly 1,000 years, says science. 😻


I really want to make biscotti.


So colorful…


Not all shoes are made the same.


In case you’re equally obsessed with type…

Sending good vibes your way. Whatever you’re doing today, stay safe, and WASH THOSE HANDS!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That article on Nick Dudman was fascinating. Naturally, he had me at “Yoda”.

    The eye-opening thing about pandemic skincare has been that I don’t need all the things. All I’ve needed is to wash my face (FAB cleanser, of course) and moisturize. I use a super-gentle toner now and then. Pimple gel once or twice. (Origins makes my favorite.) That’s all. My skin has never been better. Who knew?

    If you want biscotti, save the trouble and go to Trader Joe’s. So good! Especially the chocolate. We almost always keep it in the house.

    Good luck with The Mountain.
    The cloud eye look is like Cirque du Soleil for everyday.
    Totally obsessed with typeface, too, though I’m a sans serif gal. Loved the documentary about Helvetica.
    Did a second transfer of buckwheat pucks to the sealed top container. So many loose noodles.
    Aaand…I’m late to the Floor Is Lava party but omg what a show!

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).
