Hvor ofte bruker du levende sminke?
ganske ofte, men det avhenger. Når det gjelder mine øyne, liker jeg farge, spesielt lyst farge, men jo lenger jeg kommer inn i 30-årene, jeg må innrømme at jeg føler meg mindre så vel som mindre komfortabel i lime øko-vennskap, så vel som hot pinks når jeg ‘ m verktøyet rundt matbutikken.
I disse dager, hvis jeg bare henger rundt, så vel som ikke ute, gjør noe elegant eller morsomt, forblir jeg vanligvis med nøytrale øyne med kanskje litt pop av farge på lokkene mine eller langs lash-linjene.
ANNONSE
Når det gjelder kinnene mine, har jeg ingen slike kvalme. Jeg vil absolutt gjøre brights under nesten alle typer omstendigheter, men jeg vil normalt bruke dem med en lett hånd.
Og lepper? Gimme en lys rosa, rød eller oransje pout enhver type dag i uken.
Hva med deg? Nøyaktig hvor ofte bruker du levende sminke?

Søndager med faner katten, sminke samt klageblogg mascot, vol. 271
Hvem er faner katten? Omtrent seks år tilbake, jeg befriended en bortfall, loppebitt i tabby feline med en dårlig situasjon av ormer. Jeg kan se at han hadde falt på vanskelige tider, men hans dype forståelse av høymote samt varehus kosmetikk førte meg til å tro at han var mye mer enn å tilfredsstille øyet. Vi endte opp med å være raske venner, så vel som nå er han virkelig min leder (og en vellykket kattunge modell).
Wowzers! Hva en virvelvind av aktivitet. Det har vært stressende i her i dag i hovedkvarteret til fanene Feline Industries, LLC. Det var vår årlige Thanksgiving Office Party, som av programmet indikerer at jeg har åpnet bokser av saus hele ettermiddagen.
Feiringen er virkelig type odde siden – vel, jeg mener, av noen grunner – virksomheten har virkelig ingen form for andre arbeidere enn meg, så vel som faner, så vel som han er Feo (Feline Executive Officer). Tabs kaster feiringen årlig for det meste for de profesjonelle fotografene som jobber med ham på Kitty Modeling Shoots, vet du som en metode for å si, “Meow!” (Takk!) Til dem for å få ham til å se så bra ut.
ANNONSE
Det er også kanskje en tøff uvanlig for en tabby-feline å kaste en feiring – jeg mener en feiring av denne størrelsen.
Saus fontener, en all-you-can-eat sjømat buffet, en catnip-infused oksygen bar samt cameos av noen av de mest populære kattene i tjenesten (Garfield, noen?). Det var en ganske stor å gjøre.
Men heldigvis er det over nå, så vel som jeg kan til slutt hvile.

Makeup and beauty blog Monday Poll, Vol. 204
One can never go wrong with pearls…
You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Vel, det er ikke mye av en meningsmåling. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past four years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
Humør:
I just finished a quick run, and I feel like I’m floating on an endorphin-fueled high. feels like it’s gonna be a terrific day!
How do you feel about bright neon clothing?
I’m still on the fence… I noticed a ton of neon shirts, shoes and accessories at gap and Target last weekend. Talk about flashbacks to the ’80s! I remember wearing an oversized neon green t-shirt in fourth grade that went down to about my knees and thinking I was the ish, haha! It was so obnoxiously bright that it reflected a greenish tint on my chin…
Not my best look. Still, I don’t mind the idea of wearing something bright and eye-catching, but I’d want to wear it in a way that wasn’t totally obnoxious.
Your favorite lip balm?
Lately, I’ve been stuck on Bite beauty Vitamin Gel in Pink Grapefruit, a moisturizing lippie that tastes just like Boton Rice candy (NOM!).
Notat til meg selv…
Do whatever it takes to get to that hatha yoga class tomorrow at 6. WHATEVER IT TAKES!
Have you tried zip-lining?
No, but I’d love to! I’d like to do it somewhere that took me soaring out over the tops of tall trees.
When was the last time you rode a bicycle?
Last June over my birthday trip to Vancouver, British Columbia. El Hub and I rented bikes and cruised around Stanley Park. Så gøy!
Which of your pals lives the farthest away from you?
I’m lucky that two of my closest friends, Jen and Cindy, live here in the Bay Area, and they’re both about an hour away, so I guess that makes you the farthest.
What would you do with a six-month, all-expenses-paid break from work or school?
I’d sleep in and do absolutely nothing each day for the first two weeks. Then, I’d spend the next month chasing waves (always, always wanted to go on a surf trip), and then the next few months eating my way through Europe.
Not sure about the rest of the time… six months is a long time, and I’m not sure how Tabs would feel about these plans. I mean, I know he’s doing his own thing with his kitty modeling career and probably wouldn’t want to chase me around the world, but there’s no way I could go six months away from him.
Something that makes you feel peaceful?
The sound of rushing water and bubbles for the first few seconds after I dive into a body of water.
Ukentlige mål:
Just one this week (well, two, including making it to yoga tomorrow night): don’t stop believing!

It rained buckets here all day yesterday, so no food truck time for me (boo!), but I did make it to the movies.
If you like movies with butt-kicking babes, go see Haywire (it was El Hub’s idea), directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring former MMA fighter Gina Carano, who’s like Jane Bond/Bourne in the flick, which also stars Michael Douglas, Antonio Bandaras, Michael Fassbender and Ewan McGregor (yay!).
It’s probably safe to assume that the Academy will not be doling out any Oscars for the film, I thought it was great. and apparently, according to El Hub (a former martial artist), Gina has top-notch fighting technique and looks tough as nails.

Of course, I wouldn’t know, because other than the correct way to make a fist, I don’t know a thing about fighting. I couldn’t appreciate the finer points of the action scenes, but I still thought it was pretty amazing to see a girl action hero delivering so many beat downs.
And now today it’s back to the grind! — which also means it’s time for the Monday Poll. Do you have a minute to touch base and say hi?

Touch of Red.
Vestral White.
Jeg husker når det var langt færre valg for neglelakkfarger tilbake på dagen. Rosa, rød så vel som fersken var de mest fremtredende nyanser, så vel som om jeg ønsket å male neglene mine med en kremaktig hvit som Vestral, ville jeg ha nådd en flaske hvit-out!
Brutto, jeg vet.
Vestral White’s høyglans, lyse hvite farge samt god tørrtid (som berøring av rødt, det tar omtrent 30 minutter) scorer store poeng med meg, men den tykke formelen gjelder ujevnt, så vel som blader streker. For ugjennomsiktig farge må jeg søke fra tre til fire lag.
Tatt i betraktning kostnaden ($ 17) … Jeg kan ikke overholde strekene.
