Happy Tuesday, friend! I realize we’re already halfway through the day, but I had a presentation earlier and spent the morning prepping for it. (It went well, by the way!)
Whenever I have to do something big for work, I always like to have a little bit of armor on via makeup. This red lip and glittery bronze lid helped me feel ready. 🙂
I’m so bummed about this cream glitter shadow from Hourglass. I bought it back in February and it’s already falling apart. 🙁
My hope was that it would be a dupe for Chanel’s legendary New Moon glitter shadow, but nope. I probably won’t be buying another one anytime soon.
On a completely unrelated note, here’s a list of stuff I’ve been watching lately, just in case you need some screen time!
Trying (Apple TV)
A sweet comedy/drama following the ups and downs of a British couple on their journey to become parents.
The characters make me want to believe that there’s still sweetness and wonder in the world.
Surface (Apple TV)
A mystery surrounds a woman who loses her memory in a traumatic way! This show is like a “Lifetime” movie kicked up several notches, and while it’s borderline unbearable at times, I just can’t look away.
It’s set in San Francisco, so Bay Area people, prepare yourself for mental anguish as the main character, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, traipses all over town with bare shoulders and no light jacket in sight.
Purple Hearts (Netflix)
It’s hard to pin this Netflix movie into a neat category. It’s part drama, romance, musical AND war story all wrapped up in one. The gist — two very different people (opposites attract!) enter into a faux marriage, and chaos ensues.
External forces threatening to ruin their lives turn up the pressure, which keeps the story moving. If you’re a softie, expect to shed a tear or two (I did).
Wedding Season (Netflix)
A charming rom-com about two people with meddling parents who are desperate to get their children hitched.
I really enjoyed this and plan on watching it again.
Indian Matchmaking (Netflix)
This show follows a Mumbai-based matchmaker, Sima, who helps singles all over the world find their marriage partners.
Warning: Prepare to be sucked in at an alarming rate!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

“traipses all over town with bare shoulders and no light jacket in sight”. Lol. I suppose with climate change that is a possibility. But it still cracks me up when I see tourists on the GG Bridge wearing tee shirts and shorts while the wind is whipping around and pushing the fog into the bay.
Glad your presentation went well.
Trude says
Love that look on you! I’ll have to check out Wedding Season, I’m just now getting to the new Iron Chef on Netflix. I just love the woman co-host they paired with Alton.
Karen says
Trude, you know I love a good food show! I haven’t watched “Iron Chef: yet, can you believe it? The last food show I watched was the one with Stanley Tucci, “Searching for Italy.”
Anne says
I wear my makeup as armor before important work meetings as well, it just gives you that little confidence boost.
