Saturday Surfing, September 21st, 2019

September 21st, 2019 by Karen 4 Comments

Bow wow wow, yippie yo, yippie yay

Reasons why Caturday is the best day of the week:

  1. Sleeping in (hopefully). For me, this means staying in bed till 6 or (GASP) 6:30, LOL! I like to sneak in a workout before Coy-Coy wakes up, and the best time for me to work out is the early morning; otherwise, it just doesn’t get done. That extra hour or half an hour of catching Zs, though? Priceless.
  2. You can catch up on your reading. (See the links below!) This weekend I’m reading that cookbook up above that I checked out from the library.

Yup, that’s Snoop Dogg… 🐶 See, this is why I frickin’ love the library! You can find the most random things to read, and then you can take them home. FOR FREE.

The anatomy of a fried bologna sandwich!
The part where Snoop teaches you how to make fancy things
Seriously, that pic is THE BEST!

It’s such a weird pivot for the Doggfather (“Is this guy really gonna teach me how to cook lobster?”), but I like weird, so I’m going to go with it!

And for some more reading…

  • In this piece, Lady Gaga’s makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, talks about creating Gaga’s red carpet beauty looks, the influence of drag on her art, and what it was like launching Gaga’s new Haus Laboratories line.
  • The makeup on HBO’s Euphoria is influencing beauty trends and red carpet makeup. Doniella Davy, the series’ makeup head, found most of her inspiration from a combination of Gen Z Instagram accounts, supermodel Twiggy, Nina Simone and ’70s glam rock.

    Note to self: I need to put some of the things she used on set into my shopping cart ASAP, like ColourPop eyeshadow palettes, Lemonhead glitter gels, Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow, Suva Beauty Hydra Liners, and rhinestones (seen ’em on Amazon).

  • How war and women influenced makeup
  • Mandarin orange is the new bright color du jour, and here are a few ways to wear it this fall.
  • 12 essential skin care questions, answered by dermatologists.
  • Frédéric Fekkai, the godfather of the modern hair salon, walks you through properly shampooing your hair.


A lovely way to start your morning


One of my favorite makeup artists! It’s refreshing to see makeup being used on *real,* non-filtered skin.


Super chill

What are you up to today? Whatever it is, I hope it involves some makeup exploration! I’m going to try (“try” being the key word here) an Euphoria-inspired look with this colorful palette.

I know… Not my usual scene, but I’m just gonna go for it and see where it takes me.

And hopefully Snoop offers an interesting perspective on cooking in his book. If nothing else, I’m gonna guess it won’t be boring!

Have a wonderful weekend, my friend. Talk to you soon. 😊

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hopefully I will be able to take a nap today. There was a thunderstorm last night and it woke me up! Old Navy has a sale on their Rockstar jeans today so I might either order some online or look for some in the store.

    You know, Snoop was on Martha Stewart’s show several times, doing cooking and craft segments. He may not have a lot of formal education, but he’s a highly intelligent man.

    I love checking out cookbooks from the library! The last one I really liked was Jamie Oliver’s “5 Ingredients” cookbook, since it was very practical.

    My Saturday’s almost over, actually! I decided to stay for a second year in Austria, so I’m currently traveling around part of Scandinavia right now before work starts in a few weeks. I’m hoping to travel a lot more this year!

    That Snoop cookbook is something else! And the pic with the lobster cracked me up, too. I was going to say it’s good that he’s branching out since he’s not a spring chicken. Then I realized we’re the same age. HAHA! I’m crossing my fingers that I look just a BIT younger, though. Potentially slightly cleaner living. 😉

    I do the hair washing correctly except for the final rinse. I just don’t think I could handle that.

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).
