Saturday Surfing, Nov. 21, 2020

November 21st, 2020 by Karen 4 Comments

Raise your hand if you’ve ever walked around your neighborhood taking pictures of fall leaves! 🙋‍♀️ Yes? OK. Now keep your hand up if after taking the pictures the first thing you wanted to do when you got home was paint your nails.

🙋‍♀️ LOL!

I can’t be the only one.

I took a walk yesterday morning after I dropped Connor off at school, and it was a chilly, sunny Northern California morning, 46 degrees, so of course I went outside in my down jacket and like 20 million layers. 🤣 These are some pics of leaves from my neighborhood, and the moment I got back to my house, the first thing I thought was that I needed to find a burgundy or a yellowish green nail polish…

I’m thinking I might do a dark wine today like Essie Bordeaux?

If you know of a color that perfectly embodies “fall leaves,” let me know.

Yes please!


Dear Hung Vanngo, please stop by my house and do this to my face.


OK, somebody needs to talk me out of bangs because I’m living for Hailee’s.


I’ve been binge watching The Crown all week long.

OMG. Let’s make ALL THE COOKIES!

I’m off to go get Connor ready for a socially distanced ballet recital now. She’s been taking a zoom class with a few other little ballerinas for a couple months, and today they’re all going to perform their routine outdoors behind the dance studio, which means glitter, sparkles, and the whole shebang!

Talk to you soon. Have a great weekend.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Two perfect polish shades resembling fall leaves:
    Chanel Opulence #917
    Chanel Troublante #675
    I think they both look the same but…beautiful.

    Yes! I can’t tell you how many photos I’ve taken of fall trees in the past week or two. I bought a duplicate of the Chanel colors Gayle mentioned. Even though they have different names, they are essentially the same color. Some other polishes that remind me of autumn in a bottle are KB Shimmer “It’s A Blazing” which is a multichrome. https://www.kbshimmer.com/its-a-blazing-nail-polish/
    And KB Shimmer “Solar Flair” which is a multichrome magnetic polish. https://www.kbshimmer.com/solar-flair-multichrome-magnetic-nail-polish/

    Thanks for sharing the video from the cast of The Crown. Dear Daughter and I love that show and watched the video and show together.

    I’m here to talk you out of bangs. 10 days of “I love them” and 10 months of “growing these out is horrific”. HAHA! I have several fall photos of bright red leaves against a beautiful, blue, cloudless sky, so I’m with you on the pics. Most of mine are hiking, though since there aren’t a lot of stunning, vibrant trees in the village to choose from.

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).
