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. 😁

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

October 12th, 2019 at 9:47 amIt’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!

October 12th, 2019 at 2:10 pmSo 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).

October 12th, 2019 at 4:19 pmNoreaster 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.

October 12th, 2019 at 7:31 pmToday 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.
