My Saturday morning started off with one of those dreams
where you are trying to accomplish something but get absolutely nowhere with
one interruption after another. Have you
ever had one of those dreams? For most
people it is a dream where they are trying to escape some impending doom or
complete a task that in real life they are stressed about and in the dream they
absolutely must get done like homework, or a test, or a project for work, or
some other similarly sometimes overwhelming task. Not for me.
I’m a beauty girl! In my dream I
was supposed to be leaving the location to go to some sort of event and needed
to put my makeup on and everything imaginable was keeping me from being able to
make it happen. There was an attractive
man that kept dropping in that required my attention (I blame that on reading a
historical novel late Friday night with scenes of a dinner party where the
hostess was required to entertain her guests in the overtly historically polite
way you only read about in historical novels), children that needed to be
supervised (who of course did not belong to me but due to a lack of parental
supervision somehow managed to repeatedly enter the location that was supposed
to be my home chasing each other like a bunch of rapscallions), and quite a few
other occurrences that I began to forget as soon as I woke up as you often do
when you wake up from a dream. There was
even a shooting of the gang related type that happened outside a bedroom
window/balcony that apparently was mine and a visit from a snarling werewolf
if you can believe that. Only a beauty
girl dreams about putting on makeup in such an exciting manner as this!
The first thing I did was pull out the Grosgrain Wrap
Watch.
I have it in red but you can also
order it in either red or blue here. I also remembered
that I DO actually have a brow product I could pull out which is the Revlon ColorStay
Brow Enhancer in #002 Light Brown/Champagne.
My work day included a video and
some blogging and photo taking as it often does along with my normal
interaction with customers and the process of suggesting products. In the evening I made a trip to CVS to check
out the 50-75% off sale to keep up with which products are likely being
discontinued. Then I went past Ulta just
to see if there was anything new. There
wasn’t although I was sad to see that there was only one more NYX Be Free color
palette left. It’s a really nice palette
which I’d love to have, but just would not buy for myself mainly because
palettes by nature are generally on the higher end of a line regardless of what
brand it is and the restrictions I put on buying for myself don’t allow for
that type of treat even if it is only $20.
Just seeing that I am one palette away from never being able to have it
makes me a little sad.
Since it is the holiday weekend I decided that I wouldn’t
focus on anymore work that night (yeah right) and sat down to watch the movie
The Man. I followed that up with some
work around the house. So exciting! Not!
Sunday morning I did a bit more reading. I did a bunch of household chores. I added the Advanced Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan
Argan Oil Leave-in Treatment to my morning hair care routine. (LOVING it!)
Pulled out my Mark. Eye Shadow brush. (You can buy both of those here.) I also dug out my Hard Candy Blush Crush baked Blush in #127
Honeymoon. Ran back to CVS to see what
else they had marked down that they hadn't tagged yet the day before. More chores. I also finished my Bath & Body Works
Leaves mini candle. Another exciting day. I know!
Monday morning I put on my red white and blue since it was Memorial Day. LOVE my troops! I pulled out my
Rare Pearls perfume and my Palladio Waterproof Retractable Lip Liner in
Raspberry and completed an obligation to create a look using a Cosmic product,
snapped some pics, and loaded it all to social media. You can see it here.
Cosmic eyeshadow in purple haze on the lid and along the lower lash line, Cosmic eyeshadow in celestial taupe in the crease, Glimmersticks Cosmic eye liner in Purple Haze smudged along the lower lashes and dramatically winged out on top.
I ran by Barnes & Noble. Had lunch out with family. Worked for a few hours. Watched The Real Housewives of Orange County. Started my normal evening routine of editing
and journaling and got myself back on track with my normal nighttime routine of
skincare and a second shower. I also
finished my Anew Clinical Absolute Even Multi-Tone Skin Corrector in the process. All in all not your typical holiday vacation but exactly the kind of relaxing weekend a beauty girl enjoys.
