and Awaaaaay We Glow! The NYX Away We glow liquid Highlighters from the top in Moonbeam, Daytime Halo and Gold Rush.
Calgon NYX, take me away! Take me to that place where highlighters don’t have to be so completely in your face, and where folks cherish a subtle pearly glow.

Oh, my goodness! The NYX Away We glow liquid Highlighters are so, so good! I was expecting a chunky, apparent “hello from the outer reaches of the universe” type of highlight from these liquid highlighters, but they aren’t like that at all. I’ve tried three of the nine shades, all of which are available in the permanent line, and they’re gloriously subtle. They have much more of a pearly sheen than an in-your-face frost, and I think they look just like the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfectors (but at a fraction of the cost).

Wearing a mix of Daytime Halo and Gold rush on the bridge of my nose and my upper cheekbones…

I dunno… maybe because these are only $6.99 each, I was expecting bigger pieces of glitter and frost that highlighted my fine lines. shame on me for automatically assuming that, just because these are inexpensive, they wouldn’t be very good.

But they are.

I love that I can so easily erase any visible edges and blend them into whatever else I might be wearing — foundation, cream blush, etc. All it takes is a few pats and swipes of a finger. Plus, they’re easy to build up or sheer out, and they last all day for me.

In a word, they’re “luminous.” In five words, they’re “inexpensive but not cheap-looking.”

Go on with your bad self, NYX! thank you for making it simpler for makeup lovers to get their cost effective glow on.

Trays in every room

Yes, I did get that tray at the top, because, hi — feline woman here. Target market.

Um…actually, I have bit trays in every space of the home since I’m always having to take off my view as well as my rings for different reasons.

Like, for instance, when Connor gets her hands down a poopy diaper as well as chooses to do some finger painting with stated poop around her crib bedding, stuffed animals as well as her blanket (true story).

I tend to take off my fashion jewelry before dealing with tasks like that, thus the trays.

And no much more sticking fashion jewelry into denim pockets anymore for this girl, since the denim undoubtedly get thrown into the hamper, as well as then gets thrown into the wash, as well as before you understand it you’re in a sweaty panic searching for your interaction sound around the home for two hours before ultimately discovering the sound beneath the dryer (also true story).

Cute tray, right? I believe I’m gonna put it in Connor’s room. It was only $2.99.

Oh, as well as Marshalls doesn’t just accommodate feline ladies. They like canine people, too.

Exhibit D: Marshalls digs dogs

They likewise have a new combination called Distortion ($48) that has 15 powder shadows that you can mix as well as match to produce different finishes. It’s up on sephora.com now for pre-order.

I’m looking ahead to some makeup time in my room/office this weekend, since I haven’t used a lick of makeup in three days.

I know!

Hard to believe that I utilized to put on concealer just to go get the mail, LOL!

Come state hi in the comments. I miss you. I’ll be around today as well as tomorrow. I’m just getting the home prepared for T-day next week.

We’re holding this year, so things have to get done.

In Connor Claire news…man, your niece has been going with some things lately. She hit that stage in her toddler-hood where she’s very clingy, very impatient as well as very insistent as well as vocal about having my full interest all the time, all the time long.

“Mama, you much better pick me up as well as bring me around all day, every day, or there will be consequences…”
Between the infant as well as the cat…I’m just saying. It isn’t simple to put on makeup with a infant as well as a world-renowned kitty supermodel all up in your grill.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Are you heading out of town? Are you holding this year? Inquiring minds want to know. got any type of kick-@ss dessert or side meal recipes to share? You understand I’m all about the sides.

Also, what have you been reading as well as viewing lately? I’m still reading Cocoa beach (I’m about 60% done!), as well as I’m marathoning Alias Grace on Netflix.

It’s based on a Margaret Atwood book (she likewise composed The Handmaid’s Tale). great so far, however kinda… Well, there’s a great deal going on. It’s about the 1843 murders of Thomas Kinnear as well as his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery in upper Canada, as well as there are twisted relationships, trick alliances, as well as you don’t understand if you can count on the narrator.

So it’s interesting, as well as Sarah Gadon kicks butt.

Lovin’ this line!
Yoga breathing ideal now so I can sluggish my roll…because my hair hasn’t been this glossy as well as soft as well as full in forever! — as well as now I’m prepared to make it rain over at Rahua.

BREATHE, KAREN, BREATHE.

So, friend. You’ve most likely seen Rahua around, yeah? state it with me: “raw-wah.” It’s this hella hydrating line of of hair products (and some body things, too), as well as they’re brought at SpaceNK as well as Sephora.

The packaging has a silhouette of a woman with long locks drawing a bow as well as arrow (very Katniss Everdeen), as well as whatever in the line has an ancient component discovered deep in the Amazon rainforest called rahua oil. As the story goes, the women of the Ecuadorian Quecha-Shuar tribe have been utilizing rahua oil for centuries to moisturize their hair as well as skin, since it is THE STUFF.

I’ve been bouncing back as well as forth between travel sizes of their different shampoos, conditioners as well as hair treatments, which are $9 each, as well as have had a series of legendary hair days. Like, Oribe-caliber exceptional.

The traditional Shampoo as well as Conditioner (which likewise doubles as a leave-in), the Hydration Shampoo as well as Hydration Conditioner, the color full Hair Mask as well as the Founder’s blend Hair & Scalp treatment leave my wavy color-treated (and somewhat dry at the moment) hair shiny, silky soft, bouncy as well as hydrated.

The only things I feel just so-so about are the color full Shampoo as well as Conditioner, since they aren’t as moisturizing as the other products (and wetness is my primary motivation at the moment since the pool has been doing a number on my ends), however whatever else I’ve tried from the line has me *this close* to forsaking all the other hair products sitting in my shower.

It’s interesting to me exactly how Rahua smooths frizzes, adds tons of glossy radiate as well as moisturizes, all while eliminating all of the hair styling stuff I like to stack on, as well as it does this all without drying or weighing down the strands. Plus, the products don’t consist of silicone or sulfates!

How do they do it? need to be the rahua oil.

It’s a secret I’m delighted to online with, even though the costs of the full-size bottles are on the spendy side, between $34-40 for a 9.3-oz. bottle of shampoo or conditioner, as well as $62 for a 7-oz. bottle of the Hair Mask.

If that’s as well champagne desires as well as caviar dreams for your budget plan ideal now, think about the sample sizes to try, or venture into your nearest SpaceNK to at least sniff the stuff, since I believe the blend of nut, mint as well as plumeria notes is heavenly.

T/Gel to the rescue
I’m gonna put this available as well as state that I believe dandruff shampoo is quickly top three least attractive beauty products. I mean, shiny patent-leather lipgloss or dandruff shampoo: which is a sexier conversation starter?

Dandruff happens, though, as well as I get it every when in a while, usually around this time around of year as well as during winter. With the cooler weather, my scalp’s been going nuts. It’s flake city.

ADVERTISEMENT

Enter today’s unsung hero, my old standby, Neutrogena T/Gel Shampoo original formula (there are a few different versions).

It’s the only dandruff shampoo that truly works for me, as well as I understand this since I ran out last month as well as decided to try some other dandruff shampoos, as well as nothing — NOTHING! — worked in addition to T/Gel did for me.

What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an usually underrated makeup morsel, a long-term collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup enthusiasts however routinely rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features a few of my favorites.

This caramel-colored shampoo smells like Ricola Cough Drops. The scent is kind of clinical as well as medicinal, which some people may even phone call stinky, however I’ve grown to appreciate the scent over the 10+ years I’ve utilized it.

The active component is coal tar, which is a byproduct of coal processing, as well as it stops dandruff by slowing the rate at which the skin cells on your scalp die as well as flake (you can checked out more about it here).

Active ingredients
Coal Tar 0.5% (2% Neutar® Solubilized Coal Tar Extract) (Anti-dandruff, Anti-seborrheic dermatitis, Anti-psoriasis)

Inactive ingredients
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide MEA, Laureth-4, Fragrance, Sodium Chloride, Polysorbate 20, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, DMDM Hydantoin, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA

Trying those other dandruff shampoos made me recognize that there’s a great deal available that just doesn’t work for me. T/Gel works instantly — like, right after the very first shampoo. My scalp feels clean, doesn’t itch, as well as the flakiness — which I was seeing mainly around my hairline right near my bangs — is totally gone. My roots don’t feel greasy or coated with product, either, which occurred after I utilized the other anti-dandruff shampoos. After T/Gel, my scalp as well as hair feel really, truly clean. AHHHHH!

I utilize it on my roots, as well as I don’t take it from the roots to the ends, since I just don’t feel like that’s necessary. I coat the mid-shaft as well as ends with the conditioner first, as well as then work T/Gel into my roots. then I leave it in while I shave, sing as well as believe about cats… So, usually three or four minutes. then I rinse it out.

I don’t believe you have to wait like that, however I type of feel like it provides the medicine a bit more time to work. I dunno…

Afterward, the flakes are gone, as well as my scalp feels much better.

I truly like this stuff. We’ve been together for at least 10 years, as well as we’re still going strong.

I usually buy mine at Target, where it’s $7.99 for an 8.5-ounce bottle, however you can quite much discover it at any type of drugstore or grocery.

Tape is your BFF when you’re wearing glitter on your eyes. For reals!

Even when I’m trying to be extra, extra careful, when I work with glitter, inevitably, flecks will land on my nose and cheeks, so I always have a roll of Nexcare gentle Paper Tape around (at the drugstore, you’ll typically find it in the same area as the Band-Aids). this one here with the dispenser costs less than $3.

ADVERTISEMENT

Regular Scotch Tape will work, too, but I think the Nexcare tape, which is developed for first aid, works better and is simpler to remove.

Just take a good amount, and roll it around your fingers like so…

Then, gently press on your skin wherever you see miscellaneous glitter bits and bobs floating around where they aren’t expected to be…

“Gently” is the essential word here! You don’t want to be too aggro when you’re pressing down because you might end up lifting some of your foundation, or whatever else you happen to be wearing.

This suggestion also works for glitter on your lids, like, say, if you unintentionally apply too much, or if you put some on but then change your mind.

ADVERTISEMENT

I just did that a moment ago, as a matter of fact! The MAC 3D glitter in 3D Brass Gold I was wearing in the top picture just wasn’t working for me (it’s a little yellow, methinks), so I took many of it off using Nexcare tape, and it didn’t disturb the shadow I was wearing underneath.

Hello, Tula! From the left: Tula Skincare Multi-Spectrum Eye renewal Serum ($68), Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ($34) and Hydrating Day & night cream ($52)
If I’m going to name the bald spot in my brow Raul, I must also christen any bacteria that I’m purposefully putting on my face. It’s the ideal thing to do.

So, whenever I use any products from Tula Skincare, I’m going to say hi to Brandon and Brenda — also known as Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactococcus Ferment Lysate.

ADVERTISEMENT

“What’s poppin’, Brenda? Hey, hey, Brandon!”

Because Tula products consist of probiotics.

What’s Tula Skincare all about?

They’re an NYC-based skin care line, and I think they’ve been around for a couple years now. Their name, Tula, indicates “balance” in Sanskrit, and all of the products, which range in price from $20-100, consist of probiotics.

Yup, microorganisms. Bacteria. They combine them with AHAs, antioxidants, retinols and superfoods to help naturally balance your skin.

The Hydrating Day & night Cream
The line includes a cleanser, toner and a lot of moisturizers and anti-aging products, none of which consist of parabens. some of the products, like the Pro-Glycolic Resurfing Gel (which is a gem, but a lot more on that in a few), and all of which consist of probiotics.

According to the website, the line doesn’t test on animals, but they don’t make any cruelty-free claims.

Bacteria in skin care

So what’s the deal? Why are people purposefully putting bugs in skin care? You may have heard about it, because it’s pretty trendy ideal now.

To clarify, these are the “good” bacteria. The idea is similar to, like, eating Greek yogurt or drinking kefir, both which have “good” bacteria — living organisms to help digest food, minimize inflammation and regulate tummy troubles.

Probiotics in skin care products are meant to deceive the skin into focusing on good bacteria and not the harmful ones that worsen inflammation, like acne and rosacea, but there isn’t a ton of scientific research out there to supports its effectiveness.

Some signs are optimistic.

The applicator for the eye serum

I was shocked to find that the microorganisms that are used in a lot of of the probiotic-powered skin care products out there aren’t actually alive. So you aren’t putting living bacteria on your face…other than the actual bacteria that was very likely already alive on your brush.

Whatev, I’m still gonna call mine Brandon and Brenda.

Tula uses bifida ferment lysate (a probiotic found in some yogurts!), lactococcus ferment lysate and bacillius coagulans ferment, to name a few of the bacterial strains. The probiotics in each product are provided on the Tula website, which, by the way, is pretty thorough.

Pro-Glycolic is a keeper!

I’ve tried a few things in the line, and the Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ($34) sticks out to me. It’s an alcohol-free toner that combines a probiotic with glycolic acid and lactic acid. Basically, it’s a gentle but effective exfoliator for all skin types that also moisturizes.

I have combination skin, which is mostly dry, and this doesn’t make my skin feel a lot more dry or tight. I’ve used it consistently for four weeks, and the pigmented patch on my ideal cheek is much less pigmented than it was, so I’m going to keep using it for sure.

Pro-Glycolic 10% pH Resurfacing Gel ingredients
The Hydrating Day & night cream ($52) is an anti-aging, hydrating cream that combines probiotics with retinol (vitamin A). It’s created for all skin types (even dry), but eh…my skin always feels hella thirsty when I use it, like I need to layer a richer moisturizer on top.

It’s probably better for normal and oily skin types.

I don’t feel like it’s made a obvious difference in the look of my fine lines or pigmentation, so I don’t plan to finish the jar.

Day & night cream ingredients
I’m not crazy about the Multi-Spectrum Eye Serum ($68) either. It consists of plant extracts, some caffeine and probiotics, and it’s meant to make fine lines and dark circles look better, but I haven’t really seen an improvement in those areas.

And the funky paddle-shaped applicator drives me bananas! It just pushes the product around. I don’t get it. The stuff just sits there.

Probiotic power

I think the jury’s still out as far as what probiotics are really doing in skin care, but if you’re curious and want to try something from Tula, I recommend the Pro-Glycolic Gel.

What does the heavy lifting in it? Is it the AHA or the probiotics? who knows? but I DO know that I see less pigmentation than I did before I started using it.

Just kidding! I believe I’d still select that one, as not only is it a fantastic lipstick, however it likewise has emotional value for me, since I got it last time I was in San Francisco, which is a city I’ve been totally in like with because I spent a year at Cal as an exchange student.

I typically just pair it with great deals of black mascara as well as nothing else, as well as then I’m prepared to deal with Bologna’s intolerable heat.

It’s not especially moisture-sucking (I really discover it quite comfy!), as well as it doesn’t crumble off my lips like some liquid lipsticks tend to do.

Also, at $14, it’s the most affordable choice of the bunch.

Before that, when I was still in high school, my skin was remove as well as smooth. I still got the occasional pimple, particularly on my forehead, however it didn’t get major up until my sophomore year in college.

For one, it hurt. Like, physically hurt. The pimples I had were huge as well as red, as well as they were tender to the touch, as well as I keep in mind so clearly exactly how easy things that I take for given now, like washing my deal with or putting on sunscreen, ended up being a chore since it hurt to touch my face.

And then when I started taking Accutane in my sophomore year, my deal with hurt even much more since the medication dried out my skin as well as made it incredibly sensitive to sunlight and, surprisingly, even wind.

On sunny, breezy days my cheeks would hurt like a MUTHA. I keep in mind stepping out of my house one day, seeing that there was a breeze outside, as well as wanting that it was socially acceptable to wear a helmet around school as well as to lectures.

Then there were the comments from people, many of them good friends as well as household who felt like they might state anything about the specify of my skin. It was never from strangers. Today I kept in mind somebody discussing all of my “big old gross pimples” in a photo of us, as well as it restored sharp pangs in my heart… Why is it that the people who are closest to us commonly feel like they have totally free regime to state hurtful things?
