charlotte tilbury makeup happy saturday
Let’s makeup. 💋

Do you ever wake up, walk to the mirror and say to yourself, “I’m gonna put on all the things”? I felt that way this morning (happy Caturday, by the way!).

It’s been about two weeks since I’ve done a full face. I’ve been mostly just doing a lash curl here and some brow gel there, but today? Today I want it all!

First, a little backstory…

Connor spent pretty much all of last week sick with a bad cold. Then, as luck would have it, I caught it, so it’s been a while since I’ve truly played with face paint.

Today will be all about Ms. Charlotte Tilbury. Every time — and I can’t be the only one who does this — I put on her makeup, I hear her silky British voice in my head saying something like, “DAA-LING! I want you to coat your fringe with my fabulous, Full Fat Lashes. Literally every lash. See, daa-ling?”

Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this. 😁

On to today’s reading…

  • 7 unexpected fall makeup trends that get a stamp of approval from makeup artists.
  • When makeup meets science: the story of one cosmetic chemist’s journey start a makeup brand.
  • Bust out your smoky liner and your brown lipstick, because both are among the big beauty trends for fall 2019.
  • Shiseido’s buying Drunk Elephant for a cool $845 million.
  • Putting all nine of these dermatologist-recommended moisturizers on my wish list, because I’m all about HA (that’s hyaluronic acid, my friends) these days.
  • Five skin care staples, and exactly how and when to use them.
  • What would Jesus shoe? This pair of Nike shoes filled with holy water sold for $1,425 in less than a minute.
  • These high heels, which convert to flats, look interesting.
  • 👠 —> 👡

  • In a shock to absolutely no one, when a cat cafe was burglarized in Alabama, the feline residents did what all felines do — absolutely nothing.
  • Cat moms, FYI, if you’re traveling with your kitty on a plane, do everything you can to make sure your feline friend’s crate stays locked and secure.
  • Trader Joe’s is *finally* making a holiday advent calendar for kittehs!
  • Filed under fun facts: tigers like it when you douse pumpkins with perfume.


My favorite U2 song done with a gospel twist = GENIUS


Seriously, I freakin’ love it.


The tap dancer just takes it to the next level.


I guess you’re just what I needed.

What’s the plan for today, my friend? I hope it involves lip liner. 😘

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    It’s a snow day here in North Dakota for me! The snow started yesterday and they let me go home early from work. So today I better get my butt in gear. I’d like to go through some of my clothes and get rid of the ones I don’t wear anymore. Also need to organize my makeup and skincare. But who knows, maybe I’ll just binge watch the Great British Baking show! Happy Caturday!

    So cold here in Illinois! It was 37 degrees as I headed out before the sun came up to pick up my friend and go to the Nordstrom Beauty Tend Show. I bought much more (as usual) than I had budgeted for. I love all the jazz version videos! Did you include “Just What I Needed” as an homage to Ric Ocasek (RIP)? Probably my favorite Cars song. ( Although isn’t it funny how somebody else can cover a song that you love and you can’t place who did the original- had to look it up).

    Noreaster rain&wind week in CT, was so dreary.. so yesterday was my Charlotte day to wear all the things….i thought i was the only one Karen! When i put on her highlighter I hear her in my head “Darling, this highlighter is such a HEAVENLY glow, divine!!” Thankfully, today was a nice fall day so went to a craft fair in Dutchess County, NY.

    Today was the student showcase at the circus gym! I was a hula hooping sea siren so I did big winged liner, lime green inner eyes, falsies, black glitter lipstick and glitter ALL OVER (including glitter freckles, which are kind of a signature). There was a different act that involved glitter being thrown at someone. I rolled in a pile of glitter after which seemed like a good idea at the time but I’m never getting all of this off. I scrubbed thoroughly and there’s still some.

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).
