Do you ever wake up, walk to the mirror and say to yourself, “I’m gonna put on all the things”? I felt that way this morning (happy Caturday, by the way!). It’s been about two weeks since I’ve done a full face. I’ve been mostly just doing a lash curl here and some brow gel there, but today? Today I want it all! First, a little backstory… Connor spent pretty much all of last week sick with a bad cold. Then, as luck would have it, I caught it, so it’s been a while since I’ve truly played with face...

Totally a first-world problems question, I know, but we’re all makeup addicts here (aren’t we?), so this is an issue I’ve run into in the past and one I’m experiencing presently because I’m trying to clear out the makeup clutter, but it is SO HARD with certain things — especially eye palettes and blushes, and especially the pricey stuff, like Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana. Why is a 12-year-old Chanel eyeshadow quad THAT I NEVER WEAR so difficult to part with? I swear, Marie Kondo would have a field day with me. Easiest things for me to let go of...

I always feel weirdly guilty whenever I bite an animal cracker or ruin an animal design on a pan of makeup (like these cute kitties!). Like, I know I’m not hurting them because…they’re inanimate, but I still nibble on the corner of the cookie that I imagine would hurt the least, like the tip of the ear or the tail or a toe… I can’t just go in and RWAARRRR! — dig my fangs into the tummy or, worse, bite the entire head off. IT FEELS SO WRONG! These kitties in these pans look so peaceful and happy that I...

What am I missing? Am I not shaking these bottles enough? Did I not put enough on? Because I swear to hot dogs, I must have spritzed both Pinklite and Goldlite on my face 20 times, and, I mean, it feels really good. It always does when I spray regular MAC Fix+ on my face, and I expected these shimmery versions would to at least slightly dazzle, but I’m not seeing the dazzle. Let me do it one more time… OK, so I can see itty-bitty sparkle flecks if I get allllll up in my mix with my mirror, but...
