Two mind-blowing revelations I’ve had as of late:
1. The Golden Girls theme song is A LEGIT REAL TUNE, and not just a jingle. Wha!? Did you know this?? I feel like my world will never be the same again.
2. Laura Mercier Rosegold Caviar Stick is ah-mah-zing. Even more amazing than Rose from The Golden Girls.
If a doe-eyed inner corner highlight is a non-negotiable item on your must-have makeup list, Rosegold is worthy of your everyday staples bag. It’s refreshingly similar to a true rose gold, so it’s more of a peachy gold with very little pink, and if you melted down a piece of rose gold jewelry, this is the color you’d get. On my NC42 skin, it’s a gleaming, glistening golden peach that’s warm, but not too warm, and when applied to the inner half of my lids it maxes out the doe-eyed effect. I look HELLA awake when I wear it, and that’s a feat because my @ss is tired, LOL!
I usually wear it with a warm brown or bronze cream eyeshadow on the outer half/outer corner, but I think purple, copper, navy and olive eyeshadows look great with it too.
You have a good three or four minutes to blend and smudge before Rosegold sets, so you’ve got some time to play, and — bonus! — you can skip eye primer with it because once it locks down completely once it dries.
“Caviar Stick Eye Shadow from Laura Mercier is a long-wearing versatile eyeshadow stick delivers effortless application with up to 12 hours of high-impact color. Pigment-rich shades – nudes to deeps, shimmer and matte finishes – glide seamlessly onto lids. Creamy formula gives you plenty of time to smudge, blend, line, fill or define, so it’s easy to create any look.
Sets for crease and transfer resistant wear and layers easily over or under other eye shadows (including powder and liquid formulas). Layer Caviar Stick Eye Colour with Caviar Chrome Veil Lightweight Liquid Eye Colour for a high impact foil effect.” –ulta.com
Oh, and if you’ve got hooded lids like moi, load an angled liner brush with Rosegold and wear it as eyeliner on your upper lash line to instantly open up those lids.
Rosegold is $29, and here it is at Ulta.

And just cos – a little more more trivia – the guy who wrote it (and is in your vid link – Andrew Gold) was the son of Marni Nixon, who did the singing voice overs for Deborah Kerr in the King and I, for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady! 🙂
I’ve never tried the Caviar Sticks from LM – I keep hearing they are ah-mazing, but I just havent’ gotten around to getting one (or 8) to try out!

April 9th, 2020 at 6:21 pmI swear my dog knew the minute he heard “thank you for being a friend” it was The Golden Girls theme and bed time. I did know Andrew Gold did the song, I saw him on tv in the late 80s singing it. Great trivia on Andrew Gold kimkats, thank you!
