Urban Adventures

Posted on January 7, 2023 by rvsol

B-A-N-A-N-A-S
In the interest of full disclosure, the only place I went wearing this glittery makeup (Urban Decay, obvs!) was downstairs…and then upstairs…and then downstairs at home because I felt absolutely bonkers wearing it, so perhaps the title of this post should be “Suburban Adventures”?

But you know how it is… Sometimes, you gotta just play with glitter, even if it takes you to crazytown.

There are some big-@ss flecks of glitter in this look, and yes, they’re HUGE. I used two UD glitter gels, including Distortion, which has iridescent hexagonal glitter pieces (they look white in pics taken with a flash, but more purple and pink in real life); and soul Love, the dark, dainty teal. Both are safe to use on eyes.

By the way, I stumbled upon a tip while I was working out this look! If you’re layering tons of glitter on your lids (because you never know when the occasion will arise), wait for each layer to completely dry before applying the next one, because if you pat more glitter on your lids while they’re still wet, you might disrupt the previous layer.

Which is just…not good.

I also stumbled upon a lovely, easy way to do a natural-looking base: full-coverage liquid matte concealer (dotted wherever you want coverage) sheered out with a face brush and dampened with a makeup setting spray.

Ideally, use a face brush with synthetic fibers because synthetic bristles won’t absorb as much liquid product as natural bristles will, which leaves more on your face.

All about that (sheer) base

I used urban Decay naked Skin Concealer in medium Dark warm with a real techniques Multi-Face Brush, which I dampened with the new urban Decay summer Solstice All Nighter setting Spray.

It’s an LE scented version of All Nighter… It’s supposed to smell “summery” (coconuts, pineapple, sea salt), but all I smell is a vague sunscreen scent…

Eh. I’m bummed out about the scent, but the setting spray itself is wonderful!

P.S. TGIF!

P.P.S. What did you do for the Fourth? We went to this place called McNears beach Park for a picnic, and it was nice. Coywolf got to build a castle in the sand, I got to do some reading, and El Hub did some fishing off the pier. He used a piece of cooked hot dog for bait…then wondered curiously why he didn’t catch anything. LOL.

The new as well dealt with like Light Prismatic Highlighters in Ray of Light, Blinded By the Light as well as You illuminate My Life

as well dealt with like Light Prismatic Highlighters from the top: Ray of Light, Blinded By the Light as well as You illuminate My Life ($30 each)
Too dealt with innovative director Jerrod Blandino states that when he dreamed up the new like Light Highlighters, he desired something that would catch that glow women get when they’re madly in love.

I wonder, though… Is he just speaking solely about charming love, or do other type of like count? since I can’t lie. I glow when I believe about my feline (It’s true, though. I like HIM.), or when I get a hankering for chocolate doughnuts, just as one more example.

Personally, I’m going to enable myself to pretend that it refers to all type of love, including the type of like reserved for cats as well as doughnuts.

Anywho! These highlighters are new for spring as well as coming March 9th. There are three 0.32-oz. $30 shades.

Rose gold Ray of Light is suggested for all skin tones. metallic white gold Blinded by the Light is suggested for light-to-medium babes. as well as You illuminate My Life is an intensely glittery yellow gold produced medium as well as deeper skin tones.

Too dealt with declares that the like Lights have a formula that combines a liquid, a cream as well as a powder, as well as instead of having reflective crushed pearl-escent bits like many other highlighters, their bits are bit spheres, which show light from much more angles…

Hey, it seems great to me.

Texture

Unlike many powder highlighters that feel like hard-packed powders in their pans, these are surprisingly soft, as well as you pick up a great deal of product when you go at them with a clean or finger.

I’m seeing sunshiny days with Ray of Light

All three of them have different levels of shimmer, however my preferred one is Ray of Light, as well as not just since it’s a Madonna ref. I likewise like the method it shimmers. It has the smallest, finest pearl bits of the bunch, as well as I believe it looks costly on my skin.

It likewise plays well with my fine lines, although I can’t just blend everything willy-nilly, lest I end up with wayward shine on my cheekbones. I still have to blend, blend as well as blend. however I can safely wear it on my upper cheekbones without it emphasizing each as well as every pore, which is great.

Wearing the new as well dealt with natural like combination on my lids as well as Kosas Cosmetics Lipstick in Rosewater
Hello, bling! It’s Blinded By the Light as well as You illuminate My Life

I feel like the other two are most likely finest for teens as well as twenty-somethings. Blinded by the Light is a extremely shiny, frosty metallic, as well as You illuminate My Life has big-honkin’ flecks of yellow gold glitter, a.k.a. “rave glitter.”

I dunno about that one… I feel like I’m trying as well difficult when I wear it. It’s a bit as well much for me, however to every their own, right? If you like high shine, FREAKING opt for IT. Don’t let anybody tell you when you can/can’t shimmer. Ever! If it moves you, it moves you.

Where to discover it

Look out for the like Lights when they hit as well dealt with counters in one day.

3 Marvelous motion pictures to enjoy ideal Meow

Posted on January 2, 2023 by rvsol

Doing my civic task and saving you from crappy Netflix movies!
Officially, television rots your brain.

Unofficially, these are three things I’ve enjoyed lately that I really enjoyed.

1. The girl with All the Gifts

First, it’s a zombie movie…but before you roll your eyes at me (“Karen, I get it. YOU’RE into ZOMBIES!”), it’s a fresh take on the genre, which, I recognize, has gotten pretty tired.

This one takes place in post-apocalyptic England, and I think it’s the not-too-distant future because the technology looks like the stuff we have today.

The motion picture opens in a military bunker where a group of schoolkids, who look like normal kids but absolutely aren’t, are all restrained and strapped into wheelchairs in a sterile military classroom with a teacher.

Basically, humanity has been overrun by a fungus that transforms human beings into brainless, flesh-eating monsters.

It’s the plants, man… They’re gonna take over the world.

Anyway, the kids were born to zombie moms, so they’re half-zombie, half-human hybrids who still crave flesh, but they’re also intelligent and capable of reasoning.

TWIST!

The motion picture follows one of the teachers and one of the zombie-hybrid kids, Melanie, who’s remarkably bright, and there are moral dilemmas and conundrums about evolutionary biology.

It’s smarter than your average zombie motion picture but by no indicates slow. highly recommended if you’re a sci-fi buff. I rented it on iTunes last weekend.

2. Vampire Academy

OK, so we go from zombies to vampires now (yes, I realize how this sounds). Vampire Academy is a few years old, but I don’t remember when it was in theaters (if it was in theaters). It’s based on a YA book series called — dun-dun-dun! — Vampire Academy.

It gets a shockingly bad score on rottentomatoes.com, but don’t let that deter you. It’s really fun! It’s like a vampire Harry Potter in the O.C.

Picture it: three species of vampire. The Dhampir are half-human, half-vampires trained from childhood to act as the bodyguards of the Moroi, the gentle, peace-loving mortal vampires with an affinity for magic. The third group are the Strigoi, the classic immortal blood-sucking evil monsters.

Young Dhampirs and Morois train, frolic and fraternize at St. Vladimir’s school, a.k.a. the Vampire Academy.

This movie’s all about Lissa, a Moroi vampire princess, and her protector, Rose. They run away from the academy but are forced to return, which is when mayhem ensues.

It has its cheesy moments…but I think it’s a pretty good fantasy/horror mystery buddy movie. It’s one of those happy, cheesy things that are fun to enjoy on a rainy afternoon. It’s currently on Netflix.

3. Carrie Pilby

I have this theory that if you want to find a good motion picture on Netflix, you have to start and stop at least five really horrible motion pictures first, haha!

Just fire up Carrie Pilby already. save yourself the trouble.

Carrie is a dazzling young woman who lives in new York. She started college at Harvard when she was 14 and gradated a few years later, but even though she’s beyond book smart, emotionally, she’s in shambles.

She can’t carry on a conversation with her daddy without it turning into an argument, never wants to leave her apartment, doesn’t have a job, or friends. Her personal life is kind of a mess, but she’s working on it.

The motion picture takes place over the holidays as Carrie works her way through a “to-do” list of activities created to help her get her life on track. It’s funny, poignant, and I laughed out loud several times. It’s also on Netflix.

That’s what I’ve been enjoying lately (along with American Ninja Warrior, of course). how about you?

Sometimes, you can’t beat drive-through coffee!
Every time I roll up to Marin Coffee Roasters — no, seriously, I literally roll up because it’s a drive-through — I like to enjoy the other motorists in line, because a lot of are white-knuckling their steering wheel and rocking back and forth in their seat with a crazed look in their eye, and I don’t blame ’em, because this place sells the best coffee in the county, hands down, and when you need your coffee…you really need your coffee. lucky for me, I live five minutes away from ’em, mwahahahahaaa!

My go-to drink of late has been their iced latte.

Now, a lot of iced lattes taste like punishment to me — burnt, and nearly sour — but MCR’s is buttery, smooth, creamy, and precariously easy to drink. best amount of buzz juice, too, because they leave me peppy but not shaky, and, a lot of importantly, they never give me a tummy ache, which has been happening a lot more and a lot more lately when I get something from Starbucks.

Last time at MCR, when I saw the barista walking out to my automobile with my drink, I felt the sudden urge to leap over the hood of my automobile like an American Ninja Warrior! Seriously, best dang coffee in Novato, IMO. highly recommended.

Who makes the best coffee where you live? Hopefully, you have a cup to sip while you read this week’s Saturday Surfing!

Are the intense multi-step skin care regimens that have been all the rage for the past few years starting to fall out of fashion?

Makeup as well as charm blog Monday Poll, Vol. 572

Posted on December 29, 2022 by rvsol

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, as opposed to its name, an actual poll, like with bit clicky buttons. It’s just a listing of five much more or less random concerns I’ve been publishing on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I like reading your answers, as well as it assists me get my week off to a great start.

1. who takes care of your brows?

To quote the excellent De La Soul, “It’s just me, myself as well as I.”

2. If/when you integrate an accent nail into your manicure, which finger do you normally use?

I don’t do accent nails anymore (I choose using all the exact same shade), however when I did, I’d always pick my sound finger, as well as I do it on both hands. To me it always seemed much more balanced that way. I question if anybody available did an accent middle finger. Or an accent thumb?

3. YOU should CHOOSE: would you rather 1) have to walk around with bare feet for a week (no shoes, no socks, no slippers — absolutely nothing. just your ordinary ol’ bare feet on the ground), or 2) have to avoid absolutely ALL teeth-related maintenance for a week (i.e. no brushing of any type of kind, no flossing, no mouthwash, NOTHING)? Note: “Neither” is not a valid option. You have to pick one.

First of all, GROSS. Second, as much as it would kill me, since I’m such a stickler for oral hygiene, I’d choose choice 2… I’d rather have a cool mouth than concern about stepping on a nail or damaged glass.

4. What’s a perfume you’ve used for many years as well as still like to this day?

Estée Lauder Pleasures. My fave back in college!

5. Last thing you stated to someone?

“Go back to sleep, lovie. It’s not time to get up yet.”

Ya discover something new every day

In my case, the last tidbit of understanding had to finish with nail polish. My fingers are lastly painted for the very first time in two weeks, YAY! They’ve been bare for a spell since after I eliminated my last manicure, a peachy pastel by Sally Hansen, I told myself that I’d paint my nails in a few hours, however of program I got distracted, so the few hours turned into a few days, which turned into two weeks…

I course-corrected that on Friday as well as painted my nails a creamy mauve — Sally Hansen Mave-olous, one of the miracle Gel Liners.

No chips so far! It held up well all weekend long, however I believe I’m *almost* prepared to shift gears into something other than a pastel… It feels like time for a change.

What’s the circumstance with your nails today? Are you using a fresh coat?

Have a great rest of your Monday, ‘k? ?

By the way, “neither” is not an answer, you have to pick one or the other.

reading is fundamental

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, in contrast to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five a lot more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start.

1. A bagel with cream cheese, or yogurt with fruit?

I’ll take the bagel, and none of that “whole wheat” or “mini bagel” nonsense. give me a good old-fashioned regular bagel, and toast that bad kid up! and get some Trader Joe’s Chive cream Cheese on there, too. ?

2. makeup or skin care?

YO, at this point in my 40-something life? I’ll take all of THE SKIN CARE. All. Of. It.

3. What’s the best way to treat yourself?

Oh, that’s easy (but hard to finagle). I love it when I can spend an entire day only doing things that make me happy.

4. If you were required to hang out with someone from a reality TV show, who would you choose?

Marie Kondo so she could help me de-clutter, LOL! Nawww, only kidding. I really wanna hang out with Jonathan from the Queer Eye Netflix reboot so we could chat about cats, hair and the final season of game of Thrones. I half-jokingly tell El Hub to nominate me for the Queer Eye show. I want the fab 5 to come fix my hair, my house and my life.

5. Please say something great to someone else in the comments on this post!

Here’s mine: You, just as you are, are enough. Also, your hair looks amazing today. ?

Deep thoughts on books…

Hiya and delighted Monday. how goes it?

OK, I’m trying something new this week.

Get ready.

Hold on to yo’ seatbelts…

I’m reading — not one, but two fiction books at the same time! HA HA HA! I don’t know why this seems so scandalous to me, because back in college, I was always reading multiple books for multiple classes all at the same time. I just don’t do it ever anymore. Nowadays, when I actually do read for pleasure, it’s normally focus on one book at a time.

Cats & makeup Sweatshirt ??

So this is “crazy,” quote unquote, for me.

The first book is called Transcription, by Kate Atkinson, and it’s really good. It’s about an unlikely British spy in world war II…

And I’m also listening to an audio book called stunning Ruins, by Jess Walter, which is just OK… I’ve been trying to get through it for nearly a year now. The narrator is a dude, and while his voice is just fine when he reads the men’s parts, it gets artificially high-pitched whenever he reads a woman’s dialogue, so every single one of his lady characters sounds the same…like a man pretending to be someone’s grandma, and it wears on me.

I’ve stopped and started it how lots of times now? Ugh. but I’m taking another crack at it again… We’ll see how far I get.

Anyway, I’m reading two books at the same time, which feels rebellious to me for some reason. ?

How do you manage your reading for pleasure? Do you go at it, one book at a time, or do you read multiple books? and while we’re at it, what are you reading these days.

Soooo…Monday! I hope your morning has been good to you. speak to ya soon.
