FOTD: Glowing Rose Gold Lids With Black Winged Liner for Anniversary Date Night, Laura Mercier Rose Glow Caviar Sticks, and an Excellent, Affordable Hair Oil by Hask
I brought a whole bag of makeup with me to Hawaii last week, and I did not crack it open onceβ¦
I know! Pandemic-era K-Dawg continues to amuse me. π Packing that bag wasnβt for nothinβ, though, because I used it yesterday to put on some makeup. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary (15 years!), and, yes, I actually painted my face. Then I had to snap a few shots because if ya donβt take a pic (or two) with your cat, then it officially didnβt happen.
FYI, in case you were wondering what 15 years of marriage is like, in a nutshellβ¦it feels like lugging around your husbandβs pain-in-the-butt XXL bottle of gluten-free tamari in your Kate Spade purse when you go out to eat sushi (fun fact: soy sauce isnβt gluten-free), but then having so much fun once you get to the restaurant, HA HA HA!
Anyway, MAKEUP! I HAZ IT! This look uses a mix of the products from the makeup bag I packed to go on my trip (so, lots of tried-and-true Chanel faves because Iβm on a Chanel kick) and some new cream shadow sticks from the recently launched Laura Mercier Rose Glow collection, which, side note, IS GORGEOUS!
The shadows have shimmer, but itβs a low-level glow, not a high-shine metallic frosty finish, and itβs dreamy! The shadows blend like butter, too, so my eye makeup came together in a flash.
All in all, the look took about 20 minutes from start to finishβ¦
Iβm really happy with how it turned out, and Iβll definitely wear it again soon.
Before my Hawaii trip fades away to a distant memory, Iβve gotta give a shout-out to these travel-friendly hair oils by Hask I found at Ulta. I originally brought the Argan Oil Repairing Shine and Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Shine Oil vials with me because they were super compact and just $2.99 each, but I ended up LOVING them.
Theyβre great if youβre looking for an oil to apply to freshly washed and conditioned hair and want mega moisture without weight or greasy strands.
FYI, the oils do contain silicones, so keep that in mind if youβre particular about silicone-containing hair care products.
I spent a lot of time last week at the beach and the pool, and my hair would have looked and felt rough if it hadnβt been for these bad gals. Good stuff, and so, so affordable!
Hard to believe that weβre already in full-on summer, isnβt it? Back-to-school is just around the corner, and Iβve already noticed the beach items and swim suits at stores are starting to be replaced by notebooks, pencils, highlighters and book bags. Itβs been so long since Iβve lived with the rhythm of a school year, and itβs just sinking in right now that since Connor will be starting kindergarten in the fall, this will be my schedule for the next few years.
Before you go, take a second to let me know what the weatherβs like on your end. Itβs been comfortable and relatively cool here in the North Bay Areaβ¦for now. Itβs a dreamy upper 70s, which wonβt last but a moment, I know, but Iβm enjoying it while I can.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
