Hey, hey Caturday!
Why yes, that’s the makeup-free look I’ve been rockin’ and loving for the last three weeks or so. It feels a little weird saying that seeing how I wrote about and tested makeup for years (and how at one point in my life I wouldn’t even consider leaving the house without filling in my brows or putting on a little concealer), but I gotta say, I’ve really been enjoying taking a beauty break over the holidays. Sometimes it’s nice to just let your hair do whatever it wants and wear some sunscreen and not worry about it.
Although, I’m kinda wishing that I channeled a little bit more of my energy into building a work-friendly makeup bag now that Monday’s just around the corner. I think that perhaps after I get the work wardrobe bit sorted out (thank you for all your help with the pants situation, by the way), then I’ll tackle a streamlined makeup bag for work.
I’ve got my eye on some stuff by Westman Altelier. I really, really want the cream blush and the eyeshadows. And the eyeliner. And the mascara. LOL! You know how it goes. Makeup dreams.
Anywho, I’m going to get back to doing a whole lotta nothing today, as I’m maxing out relaxing before the first day on the job. 🙂

What are you doing today? I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Once you’ve been on a work-makeup schedule, you’ll love weekends and long weekends to be completely natural (and to do nothing or spend quality time with the family). 🥰
This is true! 🙂
I highly recommend the Westman Atelier blush and highlighters. Well worth the price and so nice on the skin. Go for it! Maybe treat yourself with your first paycheque and the new job!!!
Good luck as you start tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of you. New starts are great, hoping your new colleagues are welcoming and kind.
PS the work pant struggle is real, I’m tall but plus size so I feel the struggle too! I hope your followers recommendations work out because feeling like one looks good is the start of the confidence many of us need day to day at work.
Thank you, Vita! By the way, what are your favorite Westman Altelier blush shades?
I’m a die hard Westman Atelier fan and I’d pass on the shadows and mascara. The shadows are very (very) light and the putty like texture in the pot makes them hard to pick up. She did a powder formula for holiday 2022 that was still light but much better on application. Her mascara smudges like crazy on me. Love the Lit Sticks, cream blushes and cream highlighters though! Hope you review whatever you end up
getting.
Thanks for the heads up, Evelyn! I’m dying to try the cream blushes. Do you have a favorite shade?
