Oh, my gosh! 😲 Look what greeted me first thing this morning (see above, but I warn you — brace yourself). I hadn’t opened this Chanel cream shadow in a while, and this morning when I took it out to play, it fell out of its jar.
The horror!
Could this be the universe’s not-so-subtle way of encouraging me to visit a counter to get a new cream shadow to love? Hmm… 😹

Say hello to my husband, Keanu. 😁
You know what’s on my mind this morning? Resting. Man, I’ve been feeling worn down lately… It’s my nature to go-go-go, and when I’m tired, I usually just try to push through it, but I’m realizing more and more how important it is to listen to your body and just slow down. I don’t know if you need to hear this, but if you do, I hope you take some time to rest your mind and body this weekend if you’re able to. Don’t mean to preach, but you know what I mean. Gotta recharge your batteries.
Extra squeeze-y hugs to you today. Have a great day. Talk to you soon. 🤗
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Happy Saturday! I opened up an email from Bossy Cosmetics this am and saw that you were featured. You look great!
Important reminder about rest. It’s vital.
I’m kind of liking the winter makeup trends. I’m all about soft 40’s glam and that multi-color burgundy lip is totally 90’s, but with a fresh twist.
Hope you get that rest!!
A similar thing happened to my Chanel cream shadow. It just dried severely and crumbled. I had a similar experience with a Bobbi Brown potted cream shadow and gel eyeliner.
I decided not to buy the ones it the pots. I’ve been liking the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks. I have a few shades like Au Naturel and the new Wild Rose. I am still more of a powder eyeshadow gal, even with my dry eyes.
I think the rundown feeling may have todo with the oppressive heat. Today was the first morning in a few that I did my walk. It is still hot back East, but not as bad today. I think more normal temperatures are coming.
Be well!
Happy Saturday! We went up north to see my parents – I saw my mom a few weeks ago at a family reunion downstate but I hadn’t seen my dad since New Years Eve 2019! It’s been really nice and relaxing. My husband had a bachelor party to go to nearby, so I’ve been reading on the couch with my mom and the dogs (Hettie came, my parents also have an 11 year old rottie mastiff mix named Tinkerbell and a 6 or 7 year old pittie named Stella. Hettie and Stella are really good friends, and all 3 get along. There are also two kitties, Houghton and Higgins)
My mom also took me to the animal shelter she works at and I got to see kitties, including one day old babies. You’d have loved it.
Thanks for the article on expiring makeup. I need to go through my lip products.
