NARS Summer 2019: Satin Lip Pencil, Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Swatches

May 2nd, 2019 by Karen 14 Comments

Summer lip color: NARS

This morning Tabs turned to me and said, “You know, it’s a funny thing… Legacy.”

“How so?” I replied.

He paused, slowly poured himself a second cup of catnip tea and plucked a chamomile cookie from his favorite white porcelain dish. “I just… I hope you didn’t mind taking care of me all these years. You really have been the best pet assistant and friend I ever dreamed of.”

I sighed. “Oh, Tabs,” I said, scratching him between his ears, “you’ve made me the happiest, luckiest girl in the world. When you sauntered over to me that day in Mill Valley, everything changed for me. I feel blessed to have met you and worked with you all these years.”

“Me too,” he said, slow blinking.

“My sweet boy,” I said, gently wrapping my arms around him and pulling him close for a cheek-to-whiskers hug, “You’ve been such a good boy. I hope you know how much I love you.” ❤️

“I do,” he whispered into my ear, purring. “I love you too.”

Good morning, my friend. Here are some swatches of the Satin and Velvet Matte Lip Pencils from the NARS 2019 Summer Collection.

Yes, more swatches…

I know.

They’ve been a shelter, so to speak, in the storm.

    Oh Karen, how very nice of you and Tabs to continue with such heartwarming dialog to share with us. I still cry every day . . but not ALL day, thank God. Wishing UC Davis had something to help. No clinical trials?

    Anyway, have the best day possible.
    Love, prayers, and BIG right shoulder hugs,
    God bless,

    Awwwww, that story about Tabs has me crying again. (*sniffle*) What a sweet story.
    Plus I like the Dance Fever pencil. I might have to check that out.
    I’ve had dogs most of my on-my-own adult life and currently have 2; a 9-year old (rescue) Malamute and a 7-year old border collie-husky-crazy dog mix (also a rescue). The Mal is getting to the age where I have to realize he won’t be infinite so I so relate to your relationship with Tabs and it really pulls my heart strings. It’s always so hard to lose a loved companion but we love them so much we still want to have them in our lives. Even if they won’t last forever, our love and memories of them certainly will.

    Awww you and Tabs are both lucky to have found each other, and we are lucky to have met him through you and your blog.
    Those Nars swatches are so pretty and look very wearable!

    Balboa, Giusti and Golden Gate! Keep swatching!
    Keep hugging Tabs. You are lucky to have each other. I doubt anyone else on the planet could give Tabs as much love as you have.

    Tab’s legacy may be children’s books. His pet assistant is so clever and creative. Maybe that’s what he’s telling you. How sweet! Julie

    I’m so very happy Tabs was able to come home and spend his time with his family. I have to come back to look at the swatches though- the tears thinking of tab talking to you with a tea cup are too much:(. You were meant to be together. We are so lucky to have found each other. The love is real, and the love will remain. Always❤️

    Yeah, definitely have tears in my eyes reading this post. Loved the conversation between you and Tabs. I love how you’ve shared his personality here on the blog. I’ve never met him in person, but I love him too.

    There are some lovely colors here but the real story is that you’ve gotten some hard earned praise after all your years of cat assisting. We’ve always known that Tabs, though a task-master, has deeply appreciated your efforts and dedication. I’m glad he’s finally saying it out loud. <3

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).
