Saturday Surfing, Sep. 12, 2020

September 12th, 2020 by Karen 8 Comments

Hi, friend, happy Caturday. Short and sweet “hello” this morning because I promised this tiny dancer we would paint our nails ASAP! ?

I’m thinking of wearing fall colors to coax some rainy vibes to my neck of the woods to aid the firefighting efforts.

It’s been a couple months since I painted my nails… I know, who am I? 2020 has certainly thrown my usual beauty habits for a loop.

On that note, your reading for the week…

  • Every single reference in this new Friends-inspired makeup collection is going completely over my head because I actually never watched the series (I know!). One of these days I will.
  • Sally Hansen’s got a sweet tooth! Their newest nail polish collection is inspired by Sour Patch Kids, YUM!
  • Life hacks learned during quarantine! (Is it weird that I’m kinda excited to try the trick with the clean towel in the dryer?)
  • Just in case you were searching for a $1000 luxury face shield by Louis Vuitton…
  • Do you see of your favorite scents on this list of the Fragrance Foundation 2020 Award Winners?
  • Not gonna lie, I want ALL THE SCRUNCHIES.
  • Supernatural cats have been corpse-eating demons and shape shifters in Japanese folklore for centuries, MEOW!
  • The 28 best skincare products of 2020, according to health editors
  • How to figure out your skin type
  • From the History of Beauty in Politics: “For so long, the default image of a politician has been a man, and women were told that to succeed in politics they should conform to that standard. But today, women are starting to make their own rules.”
  • These pictures taken by award-winning space photographers are breathtaking!


Vintage beauty advice


Why do I want to try this now?


Just added to my bucket list: learn this dance


I kind of love this.


Girl, I had to.


Note to self…

What do you have lined up today? If the air quality isn’t too bad, I also want to plant our new Sweet Bay tree in the front yard. ?

Whatever you’re up to, have a great day.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hi Karen. Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. Just doing the usual errand running. Just found the Pantene overnight hair serum you mentioned and am eager to try it out.

        Hi Karen,
        Thank you so much for the recommendation! Last night was the second night I used it, and wow what a difference! My hair the next day was so easy to comb through. I was just getting frustrated styling my hair, and your post was timely. My hair is smoother too. ?

    Lancôme Idole was on the list of fragrances that I have! I do love it but I don’t reach for it often. I love Lancôme La vie est Belle better but even still I reach for Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet the most often!

      Hi Sami,

      My neighbor wears La Vie Est Belle and she smells amazing in it! I’ll have to try it on myself eventually.

      Hope you have a great Monday!

    I bought the Octocurl but my hair is a bit too short for it right now, so I haven’t had great results. Also that towel in the dryer hack sounds amazing!

      OK, so I just tried it and can’t tell if it’s truly made a difference.

      You’ll have to send me before and after pics once your hair gets long enough for the Octocurl!
