Shout-out to my fellow Bay Area gal pal Kelly (Say hi to her in the comments!) for the 4-1-1 on this awesome base combination. She said it was the BEST combo for skin-like results and said that it had just enough coverage for her to be able to skip concealer. She. Was. Right! I wholeheartedly agree. I started wearing it last weekend, and I don’t plan to stop. I’m wearing a mix of Face and Body in C4 and C5 in these pics with a dollop of the new Light Pearl from Mirage Noir. And I set it with Mineralize...

G’morning, sweet girl! First things first: Welcome to the weekend. 🖐️🤗 I know you probably want to use it to get stuff done, but don’t forget to take some time to take care of *you* today, even if it’s just 15 minutes sitting in your air-conditioned car listening to music (now THAT’s my idea of “me time”) or going to the mall for a couple hours to do some window shopping. Short and sweet Saturday Surfing today because I’m on Uber mom duty, driving Connor Claire to her various toddler appointments, which include two play dates — one with another...

Dude, can you believe UD’s O.G. Naked Palette is almost 10 years old? Wait — should that be in the past tense? Because UD phased out the O.G. Naked (RIP). They replaced it with Naked Reloaded, which’ll be out in less than week! Overview What is it? Naked Reloaded replaces the now-defunct Naked Palette.

Those are the shades UD thinks you’ll use the most. How much is...

A new ‘Einstein’ equation suggests wormholes hold key to quantum gravityVia Science News–Interesting but not new. It was proposed by Leonard Susskind and Juan Maldacena in 2013 (see the paper in arXiv: Cool horizons for entangled black holes, PDF). There are two particularly interesting blog posts in this year on The Reference Frame:- Maldacena, Susskind: any entanglement is a wormhole of a sort…more precisely, EPR is equivalent to ER- ER-EPR and distortions in the mediaand in Quantum Frontiers:- Entanglement = WormholesBut you may prefer to read first these two wiki entries:- Wormhole (or Einstein–Rosen bridge), the “ER” part of the...

IMPORTANT (not really, but you know what I mean): There’s a Sephora VIB sale in November, so this week I’m highlighting some of my favorite makeup workhorses that I think are worthy of your wish list. If you have stick-straight, skinny lashes like mine, you’ll totally understand the magic behind this product. Like the fabulous feline and the feisty toddler who boss me around, my lashes do not listen to me… Every morning, I go through the same routine. I crimp my lashes with my curler and say a prayer to the beauty goddesses. “Please, please hold this curl!” Then,...
