Nuance by Salma Hayek
Get up, sleepy head! It’s Caturday morning!

There’s a time to be nuanced, as well as there’s a time to…talk about Nuance, as in Salma Hayek’s CVS-exclusive Nuance makeup line.

If you’ve been kickin’ it at CVS lately, you may have observed that Salma Hayek’s Nuance makeup products have a new look to them.

Nuance debuted in 2011 (remember the alien egg eyeshadow packaging?), however the color products kind of drifted away for a while… however they’re back now with new products, formulas as well as packaging.

Wearing Nuance perfect surface Blur perfection Primer, the natural meaning angled Brow Pencil in medium Dark, long & rich Volumizing Mascara, perfect surface Illuminating blush & Bronzer Duo, limitless Eye impacts shadow Collection in Neutral Expressions as well as wetness rich Lipstick in Pink Lotus… P.S. might this hair be any type of bigger? LOL!
The brand is all about ingredients, as well as a few of them are exotic, particularly for a drugstore brand. Salma states that the women in her household have utilized a few of them for generations, like monoi butter (in the lipstick); cotton blossom (in the mascara as well as brow gel); soothing tepezchuite extract (in the night cream, anti-aging cream as well as skin cleanser); blue agave, a naturally moisturizing humectant (the Blue Agave hair line); mamey fruit sapote to condition hair; jojoba oil as well as raw honey.

The entire color line has been reformulated (but they kept the original foundation) as well as includes eye shadows, a cream concealer, moisturizing lipstick, brow pencil, cream illuminators as well as shadow sticks.

A mighty mascara

It’s a full makeup range. There are face, eye, brow, lip as well as cheek products, as well as every single product is less than $20 as well as special to CVS.

I just took a few of them out for a spin (an eyeshadow palette, a blush/bronzer duo, a brow pencil, a mascara, a matte deal with primer, a couple lipsticks as well as a gloss) as well as the $9.99 mascara stole the show.

Flawless surface Illuminating blush & Bronzer Duo in Bronzed Rosewood 560
You already understand about all my lash curl woes, so I won’t go into it once again for like the billionth time… however I’ll just state that this mascara holds a charming curl, as well as there isn’t a clump in sight. I provide it two enthusiastic thumbs up.??

Moisture rich Lipsticks in Lotus Pink as well as Terracotta
The eye/lip/cheek/brow sitch

As for the other makeup products, in terms of exactly how well they work for me, I believe they’re all quite great for a drugstore brand — absolutely similar to Cover Girl, Almay as well as Maybelline, however I don’t feel like they’re rather as performance-driven as L’Oreal or Revlon, which I believe of as the “higher end” of drugstore makeup.

Flawless surface Illuminating blush & Bronzer Duo in Bronzed Rosewood 560
These are just my very first impressions, as well as I understand I’m going to keep utilizing the products a lot more since of their price, however I believe the eyeshadow might be a lot more pigmented as well as much easier to blend (the grains are rather larger side, so they tend to scoot around). exact same goes for the blush/bronzer combo.

The brow pencil is likewise incredibly duper sheer, as well as it takes what seems like an unusual amount of it to send Raul back into his corner (that cheeky bugger).

The primer has a great glide to it…but I can feel it on my skin. as well as the lipsticks as well as glosses, while moisturizing, like to migrate beyond my lip lines.

Considering the prices, though, I believe they’re all worth a try — perhaps next time you’re at CVS trying to find a notebook to replace the one your feline barfed on.

If you occur to roam over to the Nuance display, seriously, look at that mascara, too. It’s good.

Unlike many translucent pressed powders, it’s very packed down (kinda like the double intensity Eyeshadows as well as Blushes), as well as when it’s on the skin, you can’t even tell you’re using deal with powder whatsoever since of exactly how fine the grains are, so it’s practically undetectable.

back when my Greenwich Pottery Barn couch was brand new in 2002… fun fact: see the star in the pic? That’s where I took the first-ever photo for the blog. Yup, ideal next to a heater.
So, furniture buying — specifically, buying for couches.

It’s stressful, right?

I’ve been trying to find a couch for so long that… Seriously, tectonic plates have shifted in the years I’ve been trying to find a new couch. That’s exactly how long it’s been. The continents are noticeably additionally apart.

The process has started as well as stopped several times, too, since a new couch is a huge commitment. It’s like getting married.

And couches aren’t simple to get rid of. when you get one, you’re kinda locked in. I mean, that’s pressure! They have to tick off so lots of boxes, as well — cute, functional, sturdy, however not so strong that your butt hurts when you sit in them. as well as then there’s the fabric. Is it stain-resistant, dark, light, smooth, rough, patterned, denim, leather? will it stand as much as feline barf? will it fade in the sun? will it last 10 years?

“Mom, let’s get this couch.”
The last couch that I gotten was a Pottery Barn Greenwich in 2002.

My, gosh, I’ve had that couch for 15 years!

I got it when I moved into my very first “grown-up” apartment or condo by myself, as well as exactly how it would stand as much as cats or youngsters never went into my mind. Consequently, I got a couch with the worst type of material for cats (brushed twill), as well as it’s likewise upholstered, so it’s never been simple to laundry or clean.

There are some spots on it… I most likely must have gotten rid of it years ago. It’s quite beat up, which is what occurs when your husky tabby declares a couch as his personal playground, as well as the infant just takes it to one more level (side note: you don’t even want to understand exactly how lots of times she has spit up on that couch.). I dislike to state this, however my couch is one of the reasons I don’t have business over a lot more often. I’m embarrassed, man. The couch has to go.

Doing what he does best

Pic by City Farmhouse
Anyway, I’ve been doing a great deal of couch research study for something cat- as well as kid-friendly, as well as the Ikea Ektorp has rather a cult following. It’s a slip-covered sectional sofa, as well as it’s quite affordable, so when the bit ones rough it up, it’s not very stressful.

The brilliant thing is that IKEA offers replacement slipcovers (which can be nearly as costly as getting a whole new couch in some lines!), as well as they’re only about $100 each, so when the couch starts to look bad, you can get a new slipcover…which appeals to me like you don’t even know!

We went to Ikea last weekend, as well as I sat on it.

It was, uh…pretty comfortable. It absolutely wasn’t as uneasy as the couches I’ve tried at Pier 1. I mean, I like Pier 1 for some things. I have one of their hanging popasan chairs in my woman Sanctuary, a few tables, as well as a patterned chair in the living room. however when I went to Pier 1 a couple weeks back to do furniture recon, every single couch I sat on — vow to god — hurt my butt or my lower back.

I’m just sayin’. I felt like I was testing abuse devices.

Tabs in my Pier 1 living space chair
About the Ektorp, it has some positives. It was okay comfortable, as well as there was no hurting of the butt. I like the price, too, as well as it’s quite cute. It’s neutral, however the seats are shallow. I’m not a tall person, however I felt like I couldn’t truly curl up on it, as well as I want to be able to appropriately snuggle as well as veg on my next couch.

Plus, every huge thing I’ve ever bought from Ikea has damaged within a couple years. So I didn’t get it.

I’m still couch hunting…

Oh! — also, something occurred to me at Ikea that’s never occurred before. We’d been meandering with the Emeryville store for about 30 minutes when I stopped to take a photo of this stool…

The Ikea stool I didn’t get since I started freaking out
Suddenly, I realized that there were no windows in the building, which FREAKED ME OUT. Then, I realized that there was no simple method to get out of there if anything happened. It was just one massive people-filled box with vibrant furniture as well as fake plants as well as those Swedish meatballs, as well as that freaked me out even more, since I’m a bit bit claustrophobic, even in huge locations like Ikea. If I can’t see a window or an exit indication anywhere, I can’t breathe, as well as my breast tightens up like I’m having an asthma attack.

I question if Ikea does that to any individual else? Or am I the only weirdo?

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).

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.

OMG, SO GOOD. Something’s changed. Word on the street is that MAC reformulated the X9 eyeshadows, and ya know, I believe it. These are SO much softer, much easier to blend and a lot more fun to play with than the O.G. X9s were before.

Don’t be intimidated

You may be thinking, “I’m not a red/orange/pink eyeshadow person, Karen. I don’t go there.” depend on me, I get it. Brights are scary, especially reds, but I think you’ll love this palette. I do, and I wear A lot of neutrals and brown eyeshadow.

I did this look here generally to test, and I didn’t expect to like it enough to take pics. even though I could’ve blended it better, I still like how it came together. It’s vibrant, fun and still wearable.

The look isn’t too crazy, but it’s juuust crazy enough.

Logical transitions

What I love about this palette is how the pink, reddish pink, reddish orange and orange all share the same DNA. They transition beautifully into one another because they aren’t dramatically different.

Wearing MAC Gingerly on my cheeks
I think that things can go wrong often when you’re using bold eyeshadow palettes — and I’ve absolutely done this — that don’t have the needed “in-between” shades.

GIRL, I’ve done some horrible hot pink and purple eye looks where it just looks like BAM! — a whole mess of pink, and really nothing else around to ease the transitions. That’s what I was expecting from Red Hot, but surprise! It has the ideal “in-betweens,” so it’s easy to create gradients where each color flows into the next, and that’s the next-level sh*t that elevates this from a good palette to a great palette.

You’ll also appreciate the neutrals

There’s a taupe, beige and three plum shades, all of which are essential, because you’ll probably need to incorporate at least one or two of them into your looks; otherwise, you’ve just got hot pink or red floating all up in space on your face. You can use the taupe, beige and plums to define the boundaries of your eyes, anchor the bold colors, and make things look legit.

The verdict

If you can manage any sort of eye look where you blend three or a lot more colors, I think you’ll love these smooth, easy-to-blend shadows. and did I mention that they don’t have a lot of fallout?

Girl, you can work Red Hot. It’s absolutely NOT scary, and it’s so, so fun!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I like it a lot more than the brown Semi-Sweet Palette.

Bring on the reds and oranges! Let’s do this!

Let the record show…

…that Connor’s first word was “mama,” and her second word was “meow,” a word she learned from her older brother Tabs.

I took her for a walk today, and when we saw the two kitties who live down the street, she straight up started meowing! No, seriously, the kid says “meow!” like she’s a cat. She thinks she’s part cat!

A Sunday Funday in SF at the Oriental Art Museum
For all the drama you gotta put up with when you online in the San Francisco Bay area — the hyper-inflated housing prices, the nerve-wracking web traffic as well as the occasional tremblor — on the positive side, one of the most exciting, fascinating cities in the world is nearby.

Yesterday I drove across the bridge to hang out with my good friend Cindy as well as see the Oriental Art Museum, which is in the city’s Civic center community (free auto parking on Sundays!). There’s a special exhibition going on now called Couture Korea, in which contemporary fashion designers produce their own interpretations of standard hanbok, the formal garments used during Korean holidays as well as special occasions.

ADVERTISEMENT

“Beginning with ‘What Is Hanbok?’ (traditional Korean clothing), the exhibition examines history as well as tradition. Emphasizing mid- to late-Joseon dynasty garments of the elite class (yangban), the different as well as advanced hanbok in the Osher Gallery highlight appropriate methods of dressing for men, women, as well as children, with clothing expressing social status, altering seasons, as well as special events or milestones in life.

The reproductions of hanbok in this gallery are based on wide-ranging research, including recent archaeological discoveries. In some cases, portraits as well as genre paintings are useful sources for re-creating garments of the past. Excavations of Joseon tombs in recent years have exposed lots of kinds of costumes that were utilized to gown the deceased. The saved clothing have served as main sources for the re-created works throughout this gallery. artisans at the Arumjigi culture Keepers foundation in Seoul employed authentic, historically precise processes as well as production techniques in addition to historically proper materials for making standard Joseon-period clothing. This research study continues, reconstructing as well as reinterpreting the hanbok tradition, ushering in a new age of understanding of fashion history.

—San Francisco Oriental Art Museum

Oh, hai!
Say hi to Cindy!
Don’t museums have the very best lighting?
They’re likewise normally quite darn excellent at symmetry, too.

And columns! Museums rock the columns, man.
The gowns were magnificent, however they likewise had screens of material swatches that you might really touch, so you might get a sense of what the gowns feel like to wear, like whether they’re stiff, soft, heavy or light.

I believed was extremely cool, since whenever I go to museums, it kills me to not be able to touch the displays…

A great deal of the hanboks were enclosed in glass cases, so you might circle around them as well as see the details in the back, too.

If you’re in the area, tickets to the museum are $15 each (there’s an extra $5 fee to see the Couture Korea exhibit). Tickets are offered at the museum as well as online.

There’s likewise a great deal a lot more to see than the Couture Korea exhibit. There are sculptures, paintings as well as other works of art from throughout Asia. It’s a huge museum. Cindy as well as I got lost on the upper floors a few times.

Before heading to the museum, Cindy as well as I had brunch very first at a location called the Outerlands, which is in the outer Sunset area of the city near where Cindy lives.

It gets written up all the time as one of the THE locations to choose Sunday brunch in SF, as well as I can’t disagree. I believed it was delish! unusual flavor combinations, too, like I had something called Eggs in Jail, which was a slice of big, delicious sourdough-y bread (which they make onsite) with a hole in it as well as a sunny side up egg inside, as well as on top it there was broccoli, bacon as well as dried cherries (!).

Yes, it was GOOD.

The Eggs in jail (lower left) with broccoli as well as dried cherries, as well as Cindy as well as I shared toast as well as potatoes (sadly, I didn’t get a shot of Cindy’s chili.)
YUM!
Like life, the Outerlands brunch menu is always changing…

The menu modifications all the time, so you’re always in for a surprise. Go early if you can to prevent the wait, since the line was long (we got there half an hour after it opened as well as had to wait 20 minutes to get seated).
