Happy Caturday!

“The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup.”

Remember those commercials? I always laugh at that jingle because the best part of waking up for me has always been falling back asleep, ha ha ha! ?

Good morning to ya, and happy Caturday. ❤️? Who needs another cup of coffee? I’m not drinking my standard-issue Folger’s today (Team Simply-Smooth-4-Life!) because another blend wooed me away. It’s called Royal Kona Vanilla Macadamia Nut 10% Kona Coffee Blend, and I found a bag stashed away in the back of my cupboard last month (I’m on a mission to finish all of the random bags of coffee in my life before I buy a new bag). Now it’s my favorite! It’s smooth and rich and has a subtle nutty vanilla flavor.

MAN, it’s SO good! I usually have it with either milk or Vanilla Premier Protein, because black coffee tastes like punishment…

And the best thing about it? It doesn’t give me the shakes. I can drink cup after cup after cup and not feel jittery.

Try it! ☕

OK, now while I get down with my coffee, you can get down with this’ week’s weekly reading.

  • Anyone want to come with me to Amsterdam to visit this houseboat of cats? Anyone…?
  • Shiny, pretty things are on deck for the holidays over at MAC.
  • Speaking of Make-Up Art Cosmetics, this is how Ruby Woo Lipstick looks on 16 different skin tones.
  • Lots of eyeshadow palettes on sale at Ulta right now, and some are up to 50% off.
  • There’s a cute new K-beauty line at Sephora called Kaja.
  • 5 ways to show your cat(s) you love them.
  • I’m really interested in the Obagi Nu-Derm System ($428!!!). It’s a 7-step skincare collection that uses prescription-strength hydroquinone to treat hyperpigmentation.
  • Since we’re on the subject o’ skin care, here’s a dermatologist’s take on the main acids to know about when you’re considering skin care products and in-office peels.
  • Deborah Lippmann’s fave dark nail polishes for fall.
  • According to Vogue, you’re nailing it (ha ha ha) if you’re painting your paws with coppery metallic polish this season.
  • I blogged about the Frida Kahlo makeup line at CVS back when it first launched, and the collection is still intriguing people.
  • This $44 repair kit helps you put your broken pans back together.


I just wanna go back to 1999, too.


Somebody please make this for me ASAP.


I’m a ghd curler gal, but nevertheless I’m kinda intrigued by this new Dyson doohickey.


FACT: Tabby boys are lover boys.

Later today we’re going to a BBQ at Connor’s preschool, so I’m excited about that. I hope you’re doing something fun today. Talk to you soon.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Your coffee cupboard sounds like my tea cupboard. I have normal everyday tea, Earl Grey, breakfast tea, green tea and every flavoured tea you can imagine … just can’t stop buying them! One day I might finish them all … maybe in 2059!

    ✋? I volunteer to go on a houseboat full of cats!

    I’ve just been relaxing today. Went grocery shopping, returned some stuff to Torrid, and since then I’ve been knitting and watching TV!

    I used the obagi system in my mid 20s and it was ok – it didn’t take away too much hyperpigmentation and truthfully I only used it for about a month before I got really tired of all the steps… I think lasers are faster and more effective! I’m in my late 30s now and will probably splurge on lasers and resurfacing stuff for my 40th bday lol.

    I’ve been to the cat boat in Amsterdam! They have a screened area around the side of the boat so the cats can go outside. They do a wonderful job trying to find homes for these cats. If you’re in Amsterdam, it’s a fun thing to see:)

    It’s my favorite coffee to pick up at Costco in Maui!! I usually blend it with 100% Kona and any time I serve it to guests they’re blown away;) Hope you’re having a great Monday Karen!!

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).
