Saturday Surfing: July 29th, 2017

It’s National Lipstick Day!

Good morning and happy Caturday! — and, dun-dun-dun! — happy National Lipstick Day. Celebrating lipsticks nationally, all across the land. ?

This whole week I kept planning to wear a bright and crazy color on the actual day, but I ended up wearing one of my go-to MAC everyday pinkish browns, Creme in Your Coffee , and I’m actually going to wear it when I head out to Starbucks to get a coffee in just a bit.

Speaking of MAC, if you happen to be headed to the counter or store this morning, they’re giving away free full-sized lipsticks to celebrate National Lipstick Day. You don’t have to buy anything, either, just show up! Get there early, though, because it’s while supplies last.

Before you go, if you’re interested in doing a little more reading, here are a few stories that caught my eye this week…

  • Super Mario cosmetics are coming to Japan! Seriously! On that note, does anybody in Japan wanna track these down for me?!
  • Totally down for this: the glorious ’90s aquatic perfume genre is back.
  • Luxury beauty brands may soon be coming to Amazon.
  • How to use acids and retinols in a skincare routine
  • A solar eclipse is coming, and here’s what you’ll see from where you live (this tool is U.S. only).
  • Sephora tries a teeny, tiny store format.
  • How It Cosmetics became a top-selling beauty brand
  • Pretty matte and metallic palettes by Stila
  • Techniques to help you practice positivity
  • 50 ways women entrepreneurs can fund their businesses
  • I have no desire to be in a giant maze (I’m a little claustrophobic), but if I had to be stuck in one, it would be the giant lavender labyrinth in West Michigan.
  • Millennials are buying homes, not for kids or marriage, but for their dogs.
  • Boomer parents: “One day, this will all be yours.” Grown children: “Noooo!” Seriously, though, I can relate to this sooo much. My parents tend to hang onto things, and I’m trying desperately to get them to get on the Konmari train.
  • 5 ways to smell like the beach
  • Yellow eyeshadow is a do at all ages.
  • 5 habits that can make you mentally tougher.


Of course you’ve gotta listen to a song called “Lipstick” on National Lipstick Day. And yes, sometimes I listen to country music!


An acoustic version of “Gypsy,” one of my favorite songs. Love you, Stevie!

What lipstick are you wearing today?! Did you go with a bright shade or a mellow shade?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Interesting link about the tiny Sephora, Karen!

    I assumed it was gonna be about Sephora Flash stores, (I visited one in Paris last year, it was pretty cool) but it sounds like a totally new concept.

    NARS Fire Down Below.

    I went to MAC for the free lipstick. I stood in line for 2 hours only to be told that they ran out. Bummer.

    I went to MAC today, but they’d sold out SO quick! Grrrr. I can’t wait for the eclipse, my stepdad is buying the whole family glasses to wear during. We’ll only be seeing about a 70% eclipse where we are but it’s still exciting!

    Not Sure about buying luxury beauty from Amazon. I’d still rather try cosmetics in person. They’d have to make their return policy match Sephora or Nordstrom’s.
    Today lip color is Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur in No 2 Rose Violine.

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).
