Marshmallow Fireside from bath & Body works aka my present candle jam
Candle Day at bath & Body Works, the once-a-year event where their $22 3-wick candles go on sale for $8.50, is like Christmas…except there’s no Santa Claus, no reindeer games, no tree, no presents, no going to Midnight mass as well as freezing your butt off since you got there late, as well as so you’re stuck sitting in the benches closest to the doors…

So, basically, the only thing it shares in typical with Christmas is that it comes however when a year.

Hmm… perhaps that wasn’t the world’s finest simile, however whatevs. ?

Candle Day was last Saturday, as well as I came, I saw, I got my 3-wick candle repair on.

Did you go?! I heard from some gals on Instagram that it was managed chaos at some stores, with hour-long lines.

I’m always in the mood for sweatshirt Weather
I waited up until late afternoon to go since I believed the crowds would be less crazy, as well as even though the shelves had been quite well chosen over by then, I got in as well as out in less than 15 minutes with a few classy goodies.

But, any type of time you go to one of these sales, if you go late in the day after the very first few waves of shoppers, it truly does assist to set your expectations type of low. You may discover a scent you like, however it may not be offered anymore in the style you want, so you have to be awesome with that.

I suggest employing a technique similar to exactly how one may scavenge supplies during the zombie apocalypse. Basically, there’s still great stuff out there, however it’ll be hidden.

Spiced Apple Toddy — the ideal kitchen area candle. Not as well sweet, not as well spicy.

Like the Marshmallow Fireside as well as sweatshirt weather condition candles I got — they were the last of the scents in these specific designs, as well as I discovered them on a table toward the back of the store behind a whole lot of other rand-o scents.

Also, don’t leave without grabbing a cover for your candles, since you can utilize them to extinguish the wicks. instead of blowing out the candle, just plop the cap on top.

Unofficial fragrance notes of my B&BW candle haul

Marshmallow Fireside — wet yearn needles after the very first snow, a crackling log on the fireplace on a cold night, freshly baked gingerbread cookies

Sweater weather condition — a comfortable knit blanket that your mother produced you, yearn tree trunks, a hot cup of cider

Spiced Apple Toddy — cinnamon sticks, a slice of homemade apple pie, just-peeled orange rinds, cloves

Am I the only person who gets new candles as well as wishes to light all of them at once? I started Marshmallow Fireside on Saturday night, as well as it took a great deal of self-restraint to withstand illumination all three at the exact same time.

Check it. This is you as well as me at the club in a few decades, babe, dancing like no one’s watching.

Makeup and charm blog Monday Poll, Vol. 352

by layla Uncategorized

The makeup and charm blog Monday Poll for Monday, Dec. 22, 2014
You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”

Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s much more of a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you delight in reading mine.

My signature makeup look?
A smokey something-or-other with a cat eye of some sort — some version of a smokey cat eye combination, typically with nude lips because they’re easy. Or, plain lids, big lashes and bright lips.

One of my etiquette pet peeves…
I cannot stand it when the person who uses the restroom before me doesn’t change the toilet paper, when there’s clearly not enough toilet paper for the next person. They’ll leave one square or an empty roll. Really? You have to — the toilet paper’s gotta get changed! You’re already sitting on the pot, so you might as well change it. It takes like 2 seconds!

My secret charm weapons are…
Getting as much sleep as possible (if I could, I’d sleep nine hours per night) and drinking obscene amounts of water.

One or two things that are always in my fridge:
Some kind of stinky cheese (the stinkier the better) and half-eaten cans of cat food.

I will never care about…
Lamb chops.

I just really don’t like the sound of those two words together.

Your turn. just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em!

1. My signature makeup look?
2. one of my etiquette pet peeves…

I sure hope it doesn’t rain on Christmas, but it looks like it might.

That reminds me — when I was young, I was terrified of it raining on Christmas because my grandma once told me that when it rains on Christmas…Jesus is crying, and when you’re in the third grade, and you hear that, and it’s pouring outside, you’re like, “What did I do to make Jesus cry!?”

Yup.

My friend Cindy’s birthday party yesterday was a lot of fun. I feel like we were just celebrating her thirtieth, but this was her fortieth, and it was carb city! We had spaghetti and meatballs and yummy grilled potatoes, some grilled cheeses. It was awesome.

The Hillside supper Club in San Francisco
And we all gave her gifts that fit our personalities, like her friend Bernadette, who loves to cook, gave her a fancy imported French pâté, and then I, of course, gave her something beauty-related, a Bvlgari perfume. Her other friend, Grace, who’s kind of a jokester, got her a hot men & baby animals calendar, also known as “the gift that keeps on giving.”

This week, per my feline employer’s demands, we have to leave the premises so that he can hang out with his favorite petsitter, so we’re heading to my parents’ house in the east Bay, and then up to see my in-laws in Redding.

Are you ready for Christmas? Are all the presents wrapped?

How to Line Your Lips

by layla Make-up

I swear, sometimes lip liner makes me feel like the most uncoordinated person to have ever lived. On the one hand, it should be easy, right? I mean, if a kindergartner can trace a picture of a unicorn in a coloring book, a grown woman should be able to outline her lips, but nooo! try it sometime with a dark plummy black or red. Not easy. drawing a symmetrical, even outline can be a lot harder than it looks, especially with really bright or dark shades.

Breaking the whole process down into baby steps helps, like using short strokes with the pencil and drawing the lines on my upper lip in an upward direction.

This video is a little different than my usual review videos. It’s more on the instructional side. I hope you find it helpful, and I hope it inspires you to rock a good lip liner soon. Now’s a great time for deep plums, reds and browns.

Products mentioned

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm ($19)

Hourglass Panoramic Lip Pencil in Raven ($28)

MAC Matte Lipstick in lady danger ($17)

As always, thank you for watching.

Happy Thanksgiving

by layla Make-up

pleased Thanksgiving, my sweet friend, and thank you very much.

I don’t tell you that often enough — how grateful I am for your friendship and companionship over all these years. thank you for your funny stories, your baby carrier suggestions (and other baby-related recs and advice), your banana bread recipes (YUM!), your compassion, your cat stories (and your canine and bunny stories, too!), your Trader Joe’s recommendations, your film recs, your TV recs (OMG, GLENN!), your makeup recs (obvs), your book recs, and the peeks you’ve given me into your life.

You have literally made my life these past — practically nine years (!) — and I’m eternally grateful for it.

I love you. I hope you’re having a fantastic holiday.

Your tabby nephew also sends his regards, BTW. We went out first thing this morning literally before the crack of dawn, in the dark, at like 6 am, when I could still see my breath in the cold, because Tabs loves skulking around in the dark. and I do too, truthfully. The world is so quiet and peaceful, and it’s a good time to think, ya know? — outside with my cat on his leash… LOL.

We’re all set for our little T-giving feast over here. My brother is expected to be driving up from the city, and then it’ll just be him, me, El Hub, Tabs and baby Girl. I picked up a pre-cooked turkey from a deli this year, so we’ll see how that turns out (fingers crossed).

Enjoy the rest of your day, my friend. I’ll speak with you soon.

Your friendly neighborhood charm addict,

How I rock Pink Eyeshadow (A partnership With Jen as well as Anna)

by layla Make-up

using the metropolitan Decay x Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow combination ($58)
I may have pointed out this when or twice before (or three times or four), however I absolutely like pink makeup. I believe pink is a excellent method to wear subtle color, as well as considering that I’ve never satisfied a pink eyeshadow I don’t like, I believed it would be fun to work together with Jen as well as Anna, who’ll be sharing their looks soon, as well as show you one method that each of us likes to wear pink eyeshadow.

The look I’m using at the top is exactly how I like to rock pink eyeshadow, as well as I have to say thanks to some remarkable visitors for the inspiration! One visitor pointed out that the Maybelline color Tattoo 24HR Concentrated crayons would be excellent as eyeshadow bases, as well as one more raved about the metropolitan Decay x Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette.

I took the comments to heart as well as utilized them both for this resilient pink look. Thanks so much, ladies! I like hearing your comments, concerns as well as tips, so keep them coming! Seriously, the comments make my day

To accomplish this look, I utilized Maybelline color Tattoo 25HR Concentrated Crayon in Pink Parfait as a base around my eyelids, then used Zone from the metropolitan Decay x Gwen Stefani combination in my crease utilizing a Morphe E22 brush.

With the Zoeva Luxe Smoky Shader clean (first pointed out in this publish on Zoeva), I packed Harajuku onto my lids, as well as Harajuku, by the way, is a pink lover’s dream! It’s hot pink as well as sparkly, however when utilized with zone it’s not as well bright.

And then on my brows I utilized ColourPop Cosmetics Brow Pencil in Black N’ brown as well as as well dealt with much better Than Sex Mascara on my lashes.

I like exactly how this look turned out as well as am currently consumed with this Anastasia Beverly Hills lipgloss!
For my base, I utilized Becca Aqua luminous foundation in warm Honey, as well as this was my very first time utilizing this foundation. For the record, it’s amazing! I’ve tried other glowy foundations (I’ve examined Giorgio Armani Maestro glow as well as L’oreal Lumi Cushion), however this is most likely my preferred so far since of the buildable protection as well as longevity.

There’s no such thing as as well much pink!

On my cheeks, I utilized MAC wonderful as Cocoa blush, which is my go-to when I want a natural blush that won’t clash with the rest of my makeup. I likewise utilized Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator to highlight.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminators are excellent since they add a truly quite sheen that doesn’t highlight pores.

On my lips, I utilized Anastasia Beverly Hills lipgloss in dirty Lilac, and I am consumed with this gloss. It’s the best pinky/lavender.

Which reminds me, I am so pleased with the ABH lip glosses (I have a publish on my favorites from Anastasia Beverly Hills on my blog) as well as believe these are the very best lip glosses in my collection.

All pink everything!

No more crazy Clown Cheeks! two tricks to get Your blush to look as natural as possible

by layla Make-up

Blush, babe!
Why is natural-looking blush so difficult to do?

In the grand plan of makeup application, it’s not like eyeshadow, where sometimes you’re blending four or five colors on your lids. blush is usually just one shade on a fairly big area. It’s not as precise as putting color in the upper crease, so why is it so freakin’ difficult to make blush look natural?

This provided me a difficult time for many years as well as still does from time to time, however right here are two tips that truly help. When I discovered these, it was like the clouds had parted, as well as I heard angels singing, AHHHHH! more importantly, I wasn’t rollin’ around town anymore with two small circles on my cheeks (WHICH, OMG, I’VE totally DONE!).

Anyway, right here are two things I do when I’m going for the most natural-looking blush.

Reduce any type of redness, as well as prep your canvas first

This one is truly useful for the most natural-looking blush. as opposed to just applying blush over bare skin, always begin by evening out your skin tone as much as possible by concealing any type of areas of redness at all (like from pimples) on as well as around your cheeks, since you want your base as close to perfect as you can potentially get it before you apply your blush on top.

If you put something pigmented like a blush on top of an area that already has color — like on top of a red pimple — your blush will highlight the area even more, so prep your canvas first. apply your foundation and/or concealer anywhere you requirement it, as well as then apply your blush. That method it’ll look like a natural sweep of color going across your cheeks.

Apply your deal with powder before your blush

The next tip is to apply your powder blush (if a powder blush is your specific blush poison, as well as it occurs to be mine) on top of your deal with powder, instead of the other method around. So, if you’re starting with primer, you’d apply your foundation as well as concealer next, then your deal with powder, as well as then your blush.

Because products like to latch on to creams, as well as foundations are creamy products, if you apply a powder blush directly on top of your foundation, any type of areas that have more product on them will grab more of your blush, leaving with you some unequal patches of more intense blush color on your cheeks.

Instead, if you apply your deal with powder on top of your foundation, your foundation will grab the deal with powder very first (instead of your blush).

One benefit is that since your deal with powder color is most likely similar to your foundation color, it won’t appear uneven. one more benefit is that the deal with powder provides your powder blush a base layer with a similar structure (a powder), like a cushion, as well as generally it’s easier to blend similar structures together, like creams with creams, as well as powders with powders.

That layer of deal with powder acts as a pillow for your blush as well as makes it much easier to scoot those blush grains along as well as blend them out. The result is more natural-looking blush.

All about that leggings life

OK, so I totally went there. I bought a pair of Zella High midsection Leggings, as well as ya understand what? I’m truly excited about them!

I have a few pairs of leggings from Zella that are all mid- to low-waist, as well as ever since I had the baby, um…I haven’t been able to get back into them. They don’t in shape me the exact same method they utilized to — specifically, my stomach hangs over the waistband. So, I’ve been wanting a pair of leggings that hold whatever in, a.k.a mom denim style. as well as ya understand what? Whatever, I’m awesome with it. I saw these high-waist leggings on the Nordstrom website, checked out all the great evaluations as well as was like, darnit, I’m just gonna go there.

I’m still waiting on them to find in… When they arrive, do you want me to evaluation them? LOL! I have reviewed workout gear on MBB before. If you believe I should, let me know.

LONG online LEGGINGS!

Does $20 L’Oréal La palette nude 1 give $54 urban Decay naked a run for Its Money?

by layla Uncategorized

wearing L’Oréal’s $20 La palette nude 1
Knowing that L’Oréal owns urban Decay, I wondered just how closely L’Oréal’s much less expensive $19.99 10-pan La palette nude 1 palette of neutral powder shadows would imitate its $54 naked superstar cousin. would La Palette’s three mattes be as easy to blend as UD Naked’s matte shadows, and what about pigment, shimmer and fallout? how would they compare? and what would I miss with only 10, instead of 12 shades?

I made a decision to find out.

The $19.99 L’Oréal La palette nude 1 vs. the $54 urban Decay naked Eyeshadow Palette

Briefly, what’s the idea behind L’Oréal La palette nude 1?
Well, it’s generally the urban Decay naked Eyeshadow palette with 10 neutral powder shadows instead of 12. seven of them are shimmers — a warm beige, a peach, gold, bronze, chocolate brown, silvery taupe and a cool-toned white — and three are matte browns — a medium taupe-brown, medium tan brown and a dark neutral brown. La palette nude 1 is one of two eyeshadow palettes that were added to the L’Oréal permanent line this spring, and it comes with a dual-ended brush with a sponge-tip applicator on one end and a small flat eyeshadow brush on the other. There are also four basic how-to tutorials for four different eye looks on the bottom/back. It’s available now online and at drugstores and Ulta.

L’Oreal La palette nude 1 on my eyes
What makes it interesting?
First, for me, the price. It’s $34 less than urban Decay Naked.

The 10 shadows work out to $2 each, versus naked with its 12 shadows, which work out to $4.50 each. So it’s less than half the price.

Yes, I can see your big saucer eyes from across the keyboard, ’cause that’s tempting stuff. Seriously, I’m the last person in the world who needs another neutral palette of brown and beige shades, but when I saw La palette nude 1 at Ulta last week, I had to go there. I couldn’t stop myself.

What is this compulsion I have to try all of the brown eyeshadows…? It need to come from the same place that makes me want all of teh kittehs. The struggle is real, my friend.

L’Oréal La palette nude 1
So, is La palette nude 1 as good as urban Decay Naked?
In some ways, yes, I think it is. like Naked, it has a good variety of matte transition shades (which are also highly pigmented! *thumbs up*), and a best balance between warm and amazing color-temp shades.

The shadows also feel silky and soft like urban Decay’s, which I guess isn’t a big surprise, considering that L’Oréal owns urban Decay. maybe there’s some crossover between the formulas, or maybe not and it just worked out that way. La Palette’s shadows also last seven to eight hours for me.

L’Oreal La palette nude 1
But there a couple of ways in which I think UD naked trumps L’Oréal La palette nude 1…

Nude 1’s mattes, while fabulously pigmented, take longer to blend.
This first time I wore the nude 1 palette, I used my trusty NARS Pro-Prime Smudge proof Eyeshadow Base. I layered the shadows on top of it, and I felt like I had to work pretty hard to buff out the edges and transition shades into each other. The overall look turned out a little choppy. then I tried the mattes on top of a creamier base (MAC’s paint Pot in Soft Ochre), which I hoped would give the shadows a a lot more slippery surface. It seemed to help a bit, but things were still a tad choppy. It required a lot more passes with my fluffy blending brush to get my gradients worked out than I could count, so if you’re going to invest in this palette and plan to give these mattes a daily workout, I highly recommend also having a cream shadow on hand to use as a base, along with a healthy dose of patience.

Nude 1’s shimmers aren’t all that shiny.
Compared to the shimmery shadows in UD Naked, nude 1’s pearlescent shadows don’t shimmer as brightly, so I get a lot more of a soft shine than a mirror. The shimmer also doesn’t seem anywhere near as pigmented or refined. In fact, I feel like it looks pretty chunky on my lids. It reminds me of the shimmers in the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette.

I don’t know if it’s something that companies do on purpose to deal with the drugstore makeup crowd, or if it’s just a consequence of a lower price, but it is still possible to reach the point where nude 1’s shimmery eyeshadows shine bright like diamonds. You may just have to wet your brush first and do a lot of layering.

It’ll take some effort, not gonna lie.

Swatches of L’Oréal La palette nude 1…

What about fallout?
There is some…

Actually, quite a bit — similar to urban Decay’s eyeshadows.

Honestly, though, it’s not a deal-breaker for me. If you get in the routine of tapping off your brush to unload the excess product before applying these shadows, you really must be fine.

Also, considering that nude 1 has 10 shadows instead of 12, it’s not quite as flexible as urban Decay Naked, and the shadows that are missing are two of the darkest shades. just something else to keep in mind.

Oh…and the brush that comes with nude 1 is pretty lame. It’s scratchy (like a cat’s tongue). I’m going to ditch it.

More swatches of L’Oréal La palette nude 1…
For $20, is L’Oréal La palette nude 1 worth it?
If you don’t already own a good neutral palette, I think it is. La nude 1 is a perfectly respectable urban Decay naked dupe, and one of the better ones out there.

I do think that it helps to go into it expecting to have to do a lot more blending and layering than you would with Naked, but because of the price difference, you’re saving a lot. As long as you’re amazing with the extra blending, you’ll be able to do a lot with this palette. While a little pricey for a drugstore product, it’s still quite a good value.

PRICE: $19.99

Makeup as well as beauty blog Monday Poll, Vol. 445

by layla Make-up

Mmmm, persimmons!
You may be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”

Well, it isn’t precisely a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past nine (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you enjoy reading mine.

London, Paris, LA or Tokyo?

Bonjour, Paris! Today, Paris, for sure, since I’m in the mood to eat yummy French things. Also, I like bit French infants with their bit French accents. THEY’RE SO CUTE! I believe it would be so cool, too, if Connor grew up speaking French. She’d be this bit half Oriental infant speaking French.

And the architecture, the history, the art as well as the stylish people who trip around on bicycles with loaves of bread under their arm. In this specific fantasy, I wear red lipstick as well as high heels daily as well as bring a truly long, elegant umbrella as I walk to my office where I do something fabulous, of course, like compose copy for Chanel.

2. Do you ever wear men’s fragrances?

I just completed rocking Dolce as well as Gabbana Light Blue Men’s shower Gel daily for about three months up until I utilized up the bottle, so the short response to this concern is “yes.”

3. have you ever driven a traditional car?

Nope. Not that I’m a poor driver, since I’m not, however I don’t believe you should trust me with your teal ’57 Chevy that you lovingly brought back from the ground up with your bare hands since I’d most likely be so stressed out about putting a dent in it that the stress of putting a dent in it would most likely lead me to put a dent in it.

4. Are you using false lashes today?

Nope, just a coat of mascara today.

OK…not just “a” coat. perhaps like five coats!

No false lashes today, however perhaps later this week.

It’s funny, however if you watch sufficient YouTube videos, you begin to believe that every woman who uses makeup likewise uses false lashes every day, which is just not even true! For typical life, I wear false lashes perhaps when or twice a month. The primary reason I wear false lashes is for makeup looks on the blog.

5. Is the inside of your handbag neat or messy?

You don’t want to look inside my handbag unless you want to see inside a nightmare, haha.

It’s super untidy right now. There are receipts I requirement to data away, half a lots lipsticks rolling around, an empty plastic bag that was at one time utilized to bring Connor’s binky… as well as those are just the tip of the iceberg.

6. who was the last person you held hands with?

It was Connor. She wraps her bit infant fingers around one of my fingers when I feed her.

I provide you…fruit!

I don’t understand why, however fruit always tastes much better to me when somebody else peels it.

I mean, I’ll happily laundry a piece of fruit for myself as well as eat it with the peel on, however when my mom came over the other day, she peeled the persimmons in the photo at the top as well as arranged them so cutely as well as sweetly in a bowl. It was nice.

Happy Monday, my friend. I truly hope today goes smoothly for you. Please have a wonderful week. I’ll talk to you soon.

P.S. right here are the concerns to copy as well as paste…

1. London, Paris, LA or Tokyo?
2. Do you ever wear men’s fragrances?
3. have you ever driven a traditional car?
4. Are you using false lashes today?
5. Is the inside of your handbag neat or messy?
6. who was the last person you held hands with?
