Desperat søger vedvarende polsk: 7 dage med Sally Hansen Farve Therapy Bronze Refleksion

Sally Hansen Farve Terapi i Bronze Refleksion ($ 7,99)
I den desperatsøgende vedvarende polske serie bærer jeg en anden neglelak i syv dage og tager før og efter billeder for at indgive tilstanden af ​​mine poter i løbet af ugen!

Jeg fortsætter med at tro, at jeg kommer til at løbe ind i en dud en af ​​disse dage fra Sally Hansen Color Therapy, fordi Hej! – Hvornår finder du nogensinde en neglelakslinje, hvor hver. enkelt. polere. Du forsøger konsekvent leverer varerne?

I denne uge var det bestemt ikke den uge, fordi Bronze-refleksion var en af ​​de bedst mulige nuancer, jeg har prøvet fra farveterapi hidtil. Jeg har lyst til, at jeg siger, at hver uge om farve terapi i disse dage (Hey, Karen brudt rekord meget?), Men når noget er værd at raving om, vil jeg rave om det!

REKLAME

Bronze refleksion, som lister for $ 7,99, er alle de ting, jeg forventer at finde i en Chanel Cult Nail Color (undtagen prisen, selvfølgelig). Det har finere end fint mikroblitter, og det er stærkt komplekst. Ligesom * det *, skifter det fra pinkish bronze til en tranebær tinged med rose guld til en buttery gul messing. Det er ligesom alle farverne i efterårsblade presset ind i en flaske. Og til toppen af ​​det, kan du bære det rene – og det vil se målrettet ren, og ikke patchy eller dårligt pigmenteret – eller du kan gå helt uigennemsigtig som jeg gjorde i disse billeder. Det er så fleksibelt.

Sådan holdt det op i løbet af ugen:

Dag 1

Dag 7.

Teknisk havde jeg denne mani i otte fulde dage denne gang. Bronze refleksion er et dyr!

Åh, og efter en to måneders motion hiatus (Connor startede førskolen, og mindst en person i vores lille familie har været syg på et givet tidspunkt hele tiden, ingen joke!), Jeg var endelig godt nok til at komme tilbage i Gym denne uge, og jeg havde bronzefleksion på mine negle. Det var så modstandsdygtigt, at det varede gennem tre brutale hiit sessioner med helt frie vægte, pull-ups, triceps dips med equalizer barer og ugudelige mængder af burpies og push-ups. Det er virkelig fantastisk 1) hvor hurtigt man falder ud af form, og 2) hvordan brutalt gym udstyr er på din mani.

Denne linje er så god, jer.

Jeg er brudt om, hvorvidt jeg burde fortsætte med at søge efter en anden langvarig formel for at elske i navnet charme eksperimentering eller holde fast i farvebehandlingslinjen. Hvad synes du? Spørger negle vil gerne vide.

feeling extremely ’90s in MAC Dearly cherished ($17), the one as well as only matte Lipstick in the MAC Kiesza collection, offered Feb. 9th with March 23rd on the internet as well as at choose MAC stores
I feel all of a sudden compelled to do wind sprints while eating a ? chocolate-chip cookie. Admittedly, I don’t even understand if that’s possible…but where there’s a will (and a wish to eat cookies), there’s a way! Thanks, MAC Kiesza collection!

It just so occurs that Kiesza sings one of the tunes on my sprinting playlist.

REKLAME

Dude, that tune makes me haul @ss!

Her new small four-piece MAC partnership comes out next week, as well as the two standout products are a couple of chocolatey tasty browns. There’s a new Matte Lipstick called Dearly cherished ($17) as well as a new Vamplify Lipgloss called Thunder Kiss ($21).

MAC Kiesza swatches from the top: Matte Lipstick in Dearly cherished (a warm soft brown), Vamplify Lipgloss in Thunder Kiss (a deep chocolate) as well as Liquidlast liner in point Black (not pictured: huge brown Pencil in Cork)
There are likewise two other products in the collection, both of them re-promotes from the long-term line. There’s huge Brow Pencil in Cork ($21) as well as Liquidlast liner in point Black ($21), however eh — you can get those any type of old time.

Matte Lipstick in Dearly cherished ($17)

Just when I feel prepared to state “I’m Audi 5000” to ’90s-style matte brown lips (hey, I used them sufficient to last three lifetimes), MAC comes out with one more lovely one. as well as it’s beautiful! It’s a warm brown with pink undertones, as well as it isn’t muddy or patchy taking a look at all, unlike so numerous browns.

From the left: MAC Vamplify in Thunder Kiss ($21), Liquidlast liner in point Black ($21) as well as Matte Lipstick in Dearly cherished ($17)

Ooh! That pinkness truly tones this shade down, as well as I LIKE. My pet peeve about many matte dark brown lipsticks is that they make me look like I’m about to throw down. They’re just so stark and, I dunno…aggro? however the pink in this makes it much more approachable as well as waaaay less scary. I bet if I were using it as well as you bumped into me in a dark alley you’d believe I was about to offer you tea as well as crumpets, instead of a beat down.

Vamplify Lipgloss in Thunder Kiss ($21)

As for Vamplify Lipgloss in Thunder Kiss, OMG! — it appears like I melted a bag of Toll home cookies as well as smeared them around my lips…but in the very best possible way.

This one is dark as well as shiny chocolate perfection. It feels like a Cremesheen, so it isn’t sticky, however it IS very moisturizing (and like Dearly Beloved, it has that trademark MAC vanilla flavor as well as scent).

MAC Kiesza Vamplify in Thunder Kiss
Liquidlast liner in point Black ($21)

I have a love-hate connection with the MAC Liquidlasts. First, they just last SO LONG. As in as well long. They’re downright difficult to remove. I can rub as well as rub at my eyes, as well as they won’t lift off at all.

And then there’s the clean applicator… It’s a tad as well flexible, as well as I have a difficult time finagling a directly line with them.

Makeup as well as appeal blog Monday Poll, Vol. 477

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Nå, det er ikke netop en afstemning. It’s a lot more of a regularly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always took pleasure in reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you take pleasure in reading mine.?

1. Whatcha using on your lips?

Oh, not much. just metropolitan Decay Rehab makeup Prep Lip like balm for the time being. I’ll put on lipstick later (haven’t made a decision what color I want to opt for yet), however my lips have been drier than usual, ever considering that I started upping up my glycolic acid game.

Lip like is so bomb, BTW. It’s quite thick as well as extremely moisturizing, as well as it really lasts on my lips for hours. It’s not a normal disappearing lip balm that you have to reapply 50 times per day, although you can do that likewise if you want.

REKLAME

2. The fictional character you’d a lot of want to have on your side in a zombie/alien/killer virus/government takeover apocalypse?

Rick Grimes from The walking Dead, as well as perhaps — just perhaps — I’d make it with the very first day without being turned into a zombie or transported as much as the alien mom ship.

And if Rick were unavailable, then Brienne of Tarth, since homegirl does not f*ck around.

3. In your estimation, what’s a appeal brand that doesn’t get its due?

Pai Shau.

I found their shampoo (hair cleanser) as well as conditioner a few months back as well as considering that got distracted by other hair products, however that’s mainly since of my appeal product ADD. The a lot more I believe about it, the a lot more I’m realizing exactly how much I liked the method they made my hair look as well as feel, so I requirement to revisit Pai Shau once again extremely soon.

4. exactly how do you feel about the filthy dancing remake?

Frankly…I’m pissed about it. Seriously, what crazy person made a decision that the very first movie, which is PERFECTION, needed to be remade?

Of course, I still plan to enjoy it anyway…even though I’m hating on it at the moment.

5. exactly how do you believe you’d look with a beard?

Quite dashing! I’d keep it carefully trimmed as well as neat. It would most likely be salt as well as pepper, which would make me looked extremely distinguished, LOL!

I’d rock a beard.

6. Chili or mac & cheese?

Shoot, girl, why can’t I have both at the exact same time!?

OK, well, if I have to choose, then I select mac & cheese (haha, I nearly just typed MAC & cheese). With truffle oil.

7. What’s something kinda odd you like doing?

Sometimes when I get house from the fitness center I’ll sit in my vehicle in the garage as well as listen to music for 15 minutes.

Because there are no bit humans or animals up on me, as well as nobody asking me questions, as well as I can just rock out by myself.

Happy Memorial Day to you

I believe I’m gonna take it simple today, which seems completely alright to me. yesterday I went to my friend’s infant shower in the city, as well as then in the afternoon I went as well as got my roots done, so ideal now I’m basking in the glory of freshly dyed roots, ah…

Are you doing anything holiday related?

Saturday Surfing: March 18, 2017

good morning, glory! I saw two signs of spring yesterday. First, my neighbor’s freesia started blooming.

Every year I tell myself, “Self, remember to plant freesia in time to have them for spring,” and annually I forget.

REKLAME

Gosh, they smell so good. I wish there was a way to send scratch and sniff to you through the computer, because there’s nothing in the world like fresh freesia.

The second sign was the state of my favorite tree in the neighborhood (everyone must have a favorite tree). It’s a cherry blossom tree, and it’s just on the cusp of full-on blooming. It’ll be covered in white flowers within a week.

Unfortunately, my allergies will probably also be a hot mess starting very soon, but I don’t care. spring is here!

Right now I’m off to the beauty parlor to get my root situation worked out, but before I go, here are some things that caught my eye this week…

I’m currently obsessing over these new lipstick shades from Nudus Australia. I’ve been dying to try this brand for a while.

This is what happens when you’re so hardcore about your appeal routine that you do it on a moving tricycle: and you film it, of course.

New pretties from Chanel for spring, including a baby blue polish that needs TO get into MY LIFE like NOW.

Stef’s review of the Charlotte Tilbury quick ‘N’ easy Smokey Eye evening look makeup kit is pushing me over the edge. I can no longer resist this kit’s siren call…

Just in case you were searching for some cruelty-free holographic polishes to knock your socks off…

Waah! Am I the only comic book-loving person who hasn’t seen Logan yet? I can’t wait! This behind-the-scenes interview with the motion picture makeup designer Joel Harlow makes me want to see it even more. I never thought about how hard it need to be to keep prosthetic makeup in place while an actor is regularly jumping, clawing and sweating.

CVS is getting some fancy-schmancy new appeal brands very soon.

Re: the Sisley-Paris spring 2017 Collection — I want TO go to THERE.

Der er nogle dicey øjeblikke, men det er helt muligt at male yo ‘ansigt med et toddler sidder på dit skød. Du skal bare acceptere, at din nye creme highlighter kan ende med at have en stor gammel dent, når toddleren dips en børste i den, og en pande kan ende op mørkere end den anden, og du må ikke ende med at bære så meget mascara som du typisk ville fordi du praktisk talt poked dit øje ud fem eller seks gange i processen. Men at sætte på et helt ansigt fra start til slut er det helt muligt med en toddler i blandingen, og resultaterne kan være gode nok til et målkørsel!

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

The scent of summer
1. The smell of Coppertone Waterbabies

To quote master wordsmith Nelly, “It’s getting hot in hurr.”

Today was 89 degrees! last week it was 25 degrees cooler, but this week it’s starting to feel a lot like summer. I try to take Connor out good and early to wear her little booty out, but before we go, I slather this sunscreen all over her and myself. This stuff always makes me think of summer and long lazy days at the beach. Jeg elsker det.

REKLAME

2. turn and learn

I discussed this Ted Talk in the last Saturday Surfing, but if you missed it, please view it now. Or whenever you can. I think it’s so helpful!

The gist of it is to think of the things in your life that you’d like to change as opportunities to learn. Like, for example, if you’re bad at time management (LIKE ME!!!), instead of thinking, “I should be broken. I’m so bad at time management. There’s for sure something wrong with me,” think of it instead as a chance for you to learn some of the myriad of valuable time management suggestions and skills that are out there. (And no, you are not broken.) Eventually, you’ll hit on a suggestion or technique that works for you and helps you get better.

3. MAC studio fix mixed with MAC Strobe Cream

Why do I always try to reinvent the wheel when this combo is such an oldie but a goodie?

4. Ayesha’s home kitchen on Food Network

Don’t know if you’re viewing the basketball ? playoffs best now, but the Warriors are in it (yay, Bay Area!), and one of the players, Stephen Curry, is married to Ayesha Curry, the young lady who hosts this show.

She’s absolutely adorable, and so are her daughters. I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet, but I’m certainly going to, maybe as soon as this weekend.

I like that she takes shortcuts. Like, in some cases she’ll use boxed cake mix or a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and she’ll jooj them up.

5. Painting

IH, du godeste! We’re starting our home remodellings soon, and I know that painting is typically one of the steps people do toward the end of whatever they’re doing, but I’ve been having a good time researching paint colors for our place.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to use this color palette I found on a design blog called Maison Pax.

For Connor’s room, I’m thinking of doing one of these blush shades. maybe Behr Stolen Kisses. Haven’t chose yet.

Anyway, I’m thrilled about ?️ paint! hvem er jeg?!
