Saturday Surfing, July 6th, 2019

July 6th, 2019 by Karen 7 Comments

Hi, friend. How’s it going today? What are you up to? I hope it involves food and fun, whatever it is. 🤗🍉🍧

I don’t know if it exactly qualifies as fun, but I’m heading out the door for an early HIIT class at the gym. After that, though, I’m taking coywolf to a playdate because, apparently, I am now an Uber driver at the beck and call of a threenager, ha ha ha!

But first, a little Saturday surfing…

  • When a product claims to be paraben-free, does that also mean that it’s better for your health? It’s still unclear whether parabens are dangerous, but if they aren’t being used in a beauty product, then chances are another preservative is.
  • I’m all for doing everything you can to keep your skin in the best possible shape, but am I the only person who thinks that mini-fridges made specifically for beauty products are a little extra?
  • Tell your man that he needs to start wearing sunscreen underneath his beard, ASAP.
  • In perfume jargon, where does the term “Oriental” come from?
  • I see you, Coty. The best performing stock so far this year belongs to a cosmetics company.
  • The best MAC lippies for fair skin, according to experts.
  • Speaking of lip products, dermatologists love these lip balms with SPF.
  • Whole Paycheck Whole Foods is on a mission to become a destination for beauty junkies.
  • How to choose the perfect brow shade to fill in those fuzzy little caterpillars.


Get ready to move that booty.

El Hub and I are also celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary this weekend (!). We’re heading down to Sausalito for dinner at a restaurant we haven’t been to before called Copita (gluten-free Mexican). And by “dinner,” I mean that we have 5 p.m. reservations at a (hopefully) child-friendly restaurant! 🙂

Happy Caturday to you. I hope you have a beautiful weekend.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Happy anniversary!

    It’s so hot here in Michigan. I’m not built to deal with these consistent 90 degree temperatures. We just got back from getting ice cream (the place we went has little pupsicles for doggos made of beef broth so we brought one home for Hettie). We might be going to brunch tomorrow for my birthday but we’ve just been relaxing.

    Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a nice dinner.
    I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a mini fridge for cosmetics.
    I’d tell my man to put sunscreen on under his beard if he had one and if I could get him to wear sunscreen and a hat at all. That list of skincare suggestions for men, Dear Husband does none of that. Brushes his teeth, shaves at the sink, takes a shower, gets dressed. That’s it.

    No, I’d say the evidence is quite clear that parabens are not dangerous.

    Congrats on your anniversary!

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).
