So Many Lovely Chats Happened this Week!

friyay

Happy Friday!

So many wonderful chats happened this week! We expressed our love and our hate for mineral makeup and we got down and dirty about our insecurities and how comfortable we or aren’t when heading outside without makeup.

It’s always such a pleasure speaking to you all. Just so you know, I think you’re all beautiful!

So, Sephora Play, finally right? When they first introduced Sephora’s new beauty box subscription I was shocked New York wasn’t one of the first states to get it. Because, you know, as a New Yorker I feel somehow entitled to everything first! It’s like, “Well, Sephora Play isn’t available for New York” and I’m all like, “BUT IT’S NEW YORK DAMN YOU!” Typical New York self entitlmenet issues.

I’m not a beauty box kinda girl! I love Memebox but I got a little carried away with it and I noticed I wasn’t using everything I got so it was like, “What’s the point!?” so I stopped buying them for a while. I admit I did just subscribe to Universal Yums! I have a super sweet tooth for sweets and crisps from different countries (especially the UK and the Netherlands) so this box is awesome for me. It basically sends out a selection of sweets, crisps, etc..from a different country each month! I just got Poland yesterday! I was going to do an unboxing post on Musings of a Muse and I changed my mind because it’s SO NOT makeup!

Anyway, the weather is sunny and it’s going to be like that all weekend here in Gotham! I can’t wait to leave my office today and breath freedom 🙂

Have a great one!

See ya Monday!

P.S. I need to track down the rest of the Jordana Made to Last Liquid Eyeshadow! They make my eyes look amazing! UGH! NEED MORE ASAP!

P.S.S. Strawbery Letter 23 is my ear worm today so I’m passing it off to you!

Far Be It For Me To Get Excited About Bronzer But Laura Mercier Bronzer Butter….

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Laura Mercier Bronzed Butter Face & Body Veil

Far be it for me to get excited about bronzer Laura Mercier Bronzed Butter Face & Body Veil you have my heart. I’m so not a bronzer kinda girl! When I use it I look dull and awful! Same holds true for when I get a tan. It just isn’t pretty at all.

Thanks but no thanks.

But sometimes a bronzer comes along that makes my cold dead heart do a little pitter patter!

Right now Laura Mercier Bronzer Butter is causing that!

This limited edition is a lightweight cream blend formulated with oils and vitamins to soften and nourish skin while giving it a radiant sunny finish. It can be used on your legs, arms, even your face to add a touch of glow.

To me, it looks like a perfect shade of golden bronze that will give your cheeks a really pretty luminosity without looking dull or orange!

I like!

I want!

Available now at nordstrom.com and sephora.com.

A limited edition Victoria Beckham and Estee Lauder Makeup Collaboration is upcoming for Fall 2016. Estee Lauder announced a partnership with Victoria Beckham today which will be available at esteelauder.com as well as on Victoria’s site at victoriabeckham.com.

“We are excited to join forces and bring Victoria�s take on beauty to her many fans around the world,”� said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Group President, The Estée Lauder Companies. “Victoria is an entrepreneur in the true spirit of our founder, Estée Lauder, with a real understanding of what women want, and a commitment to making women look and feel their most beautiful. Victoria has a passion for beauty and we are delighted to welcome her into our brand.”�

“I am thrilled to be launching this limited edition makeup collection with Estée Lauder,”� said Victoria Beckham. “The whole process has been both inspiring and eye opening – from going back and revisiting the Estée Lauder archives through to working on the product with the Estée team, this feels like the perfect makeup partnership for me and my brand. I had long admired Estée Lauder the woman, and the powerful brand that she created, so I am excited to offer both of our customers this makeup range and play a small part in her vision for women.”�

Sadly, no information is yet available about the collaboration so we’ll have to wait but I’m looking forward to see what Victoria comes up with! I’m positive it’ll be something chic and classy! Perhaps something smoky with nude lips that she has perfect so well?

We shall see!

Are you excited about this launch?
