The Weekly Roundup: Posts You Might Have Missed - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Practiced morning. Good morning. How did you sleep? 🙂 I probably could accept slept a little more, but I wanted to get going, ya know? To attack the mean solar day! — and all that.
How was your night? Did you do anything fun? I swung by Target for dental floss on my way to Tuttimelon —
Which reminds me, I got some other watermelon last dark. Yup, this one from Target. I even used my phone in the store to expect up "how to choose a proficient watermelon." Manifestly, it has aught to do with knocking on them, she read, after she'd already knocked on almost one-half of the melons in the store, or with weight, because a heavy melon can be juicy all the same non sweet. The article I found said to look for a generally symmetrical shape (aren't they always generally symmetrical?), vibrant light-green striping and a xanthous, or yellowish orangish, "crown" area, which indicates that the melon was allowed to sit and sweeten in the field for a skilful, long while.
I brought one home that met the aforementioned criteria (how official!), so we'll run across. I oasis't cracked it open yet, fifty-fifty though I desperately want to. I recollect I'll save it for tomorrow and make it my Independence Day treat!
In makeup news, what did you call up of the NARS Fall 2011 stuff we looked at this calendar week? Interested, or on the debate? Looking dorsum, I probably had the most fun with bright blueish Outremer Eyeshadow. It's statement makeup, for certain, although its intensity is easy to manage with layers, and I don't ever have a place to go where I tin make that kind of statement, but it makes me desire to think of something, yous know, somewhere I can wear information technology, if that makes whatsoever sense.
That must mean I like it.
I'm looking at pics right now from final week of Outremer and that leopard-print dress, the Dolce & Gabbana Animalier Bronzer and MAC Impassioned Lipstick…
Simply imagine all four of those together. Hello! Cat lady says what? 🙂

NARS FALL 2011: APHRODITE HERSELF WOULD
CALL THE DELPHES TRIO EYESHADOW COOL

The ruins at Delphi, where the aboriginal Greeks worshipped the god Apollo, inspired Delphes ($45; part of the Fall 2011 collection), the latest trio to emerge from the House of NARS.
Can you see the resemblance? â€" how the ruins, and the plants taking them over, influenced this cool-toned trio of sparkling, sheer peach, matte dove gray and frosty sage?
A few notes about the shade, like Sparkling Peach. This shade actually shines thank you to large pieces of silvery glitter, but I take to proceed with caution; otherwise, it ends up in my brows and on my cheeks. With Sparkling Peach, I get ameliorate results when I utilize firm, flat eyeshadow brushes than I get from brushes with softer bristles, and I keep my eye makeup remover close at hand to make clean up any fallout.

WHY, YES, I'M HAVING A SUMMER ROMANCE WITH THE ILLUSIONS
D'OMBRES DE CHANEL Drove FOR FALL 2011
Fall makeup e'er makes me recollect of doing fall-ish things, like sipping hot cider (or peradventure a fiddling eggnog) past the fireplace or the wood-called-for stove, etching pumpkins (which I've only done once or twice), or skipping down suburban sidewalks by huge piles of orangish and yellow leaves, and kicking ‘em up (SWOOSH!) every in one case in a while with the tips of my thigh-high suede boots. 🙂

Carte carrying members of Team Cat Lady, whether yous're a a tame house tabby or a certified jungle cat, chances are you Volition meow when you run into the leopard print on Dolce & Gabbana's limited edition Animalier Bronzer ($50).
Isn't information technology just the coolest thing since leopard-print heels? Too bad the blueprint's an overspray and not actually etched into the pan â€" or possibly that's for the best. The first few times it'southward used, every bit the colors in the overspray are mixed together, the product applies super dark (similar a chocolate gold sheen), and it would probably make a fantastic eyeshadow totally perfect for sexy, smokey eyes.
But once the overspray gets worn away, out comes a sheer, orangey chocolate-brown bronzer with tiny flecks of aureate glitter. Mrow! It's sheer, though. Too sheer for me as an NC42; on me it delivers a subtle warmth, nevertheless while I sheer exercise similar the glitter and how smoothen information technology feels, there's something a trivial off near how the color works with my skin, like some of the darker tones from the overspray are still milling well-nigh.

And information technology was ginormous, too! â€" like bigger than Tabs, and I ate it all by myself in, like, two days. On the one hand (and I'yard thrilled about this) I'm not having any, um, fiber problems, only on the other hand, I'yard a niggling afraid I might be overdoing it.
And then sweet, and then juicy…
Gotta swing by Trader Joe'south to get another i ASAP.

CALL ME CAT LADY (AND A TRICK TO Expect TALLER)
I'yard pretty short at five'1″, just in my mind I'thousand taller.
How much taller?
On a goodbye, at least five'8″. Of course, the rest of the earth disagrees.
