This is one of those beauty no-nos I actually never do! Granted…there are other “beauty rules” I break all the time. 🙂 Like curling my lashes after applying mascara (GASP!) or skipping sunscreen (I know, I’m trying really hard to get better), but I’ve always been pretty good about washing my face and taking off my makeup before bed. A big part of it is just convenience, because I shower at night before bed (even when we’re out and I get home late, I will ALWAYS, at a minimum, rinse off in the shower before I hop into bed), because...

First thing I’m going to do after I return this to Target and get my $9 bucks back is go to In-n-Out for a vanilla shake… Then, I’m going to pour a little out on the ground to mourn my lost homies (otherwise known as “the lashes that unexpectedly fell out when I tried using it”). I’m also going to order a bucket of fries and a cheeseburger to comfort myself, since I can’t get back the minutes I lost this week trying to actually curl my lashes with the thing.

All through November, every single time I had to get ready for something — be it Thanksgiving dinner, a Novato Mothers Club meeting or lunch with a friend — I was always strapped for time (partly because I have bad time management skills, but I’m working on it. #keepingitreal).

[PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT] The first time you spritz the new $28 Cherry Blossom MAC Fix+ on yourself, you are strongly advised to sequester yourself somewhere where you can be obnoxious in private, because you are very likely to become so...

Yo, I know I’ve been talking about cream blush A LOT this week, but I once unknowingly left the house with blush that looked like two little Raggedy Ann doll circles on my cheeks. I’ve since converted to the Church of Cream Blush because it merges with my foundation and never looks powdery. Amen and hallelujah to makeup that looks like real skin! In other news, I’m making improv shrimp scampi tonight! It’s Good Friday, which meant seafood for dinner around here, which I’m totally cool with because I was a pascatarian for years, but when I mentioned “no red...
