Why I’m Talking About Well-Kept Screen Cleansing Towelettes On My Beauty Blog

well kept screen cleansing towelettes

I sometimes car pool to work with my sister. Typically I’m like an old bag lady so I have a tote and a purse and another tote and a makeup bag and a plastic bag…yeah, I carry around a lot of rubbish.

Anyway, when I car pool with my sister I typically toss everything in the back seat and that includes my purse. I’m not one of those people that constantly has to have my iPhone in my hand. It’s not a third appendage for me and I’m ok if I don’t have it attached to my hand 24/7 365. If it happens to be out of my hand for a few hours I don’t break out into a cold sweat and hyperventilate. I actually feel more relaxed when I don’t have it in my hand because I don’t feel inclined to reply to the dozens and dozens of work e-mails or crazy amount of texts my friends send me, etc…I can just breath easier.

Moral of the story is when I toss my purse in the back seat it’s likely my phone is in my bag and I won’t remove it until the end of my work day if I’m in my office and not out and about. If I do have to make a call my sister’s phone is typically handy as she keeps it in a compartment by her hand while she’s driving.

But she HATES when I’m using her phone and I can’t blame her. Why? Because she’s a minimal makeup girl. She doesn’t use foundation and she’s more a natural, minimalist with a little blush, mascara, and go. Where as I’m the complete face girl. So whenever I use her phone my makeup smears off on it and I get the screen all smeared and disgusting. Come on, admit it, you know your phones are looking all kinds of gross too!

Maybelline Up in Smoke and Gilded in Gold Palettes for Holiday 2015

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

The Maybelline Up in Smoke Palette and Maybelline Gilded in Gold Palette are two new, limited edition Holiday 2015 makeup palettes that contain a selection of makeup for eyes, face, and lips!

This is different for Maybelline isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve ever really seen the brand do a full palette before! Funny as Maybelline Gilded in Gold was a Holiday 2013 limited edition collection that included these really great Shimmer Weave Blushes! I thought it funny they recycled the name.

This year it seems drugstores brands are stepping up their brands and release sets and special palettes for the season.

Take a closer look at both of these palettes.

Why I Can’t Use On Fleek or Strobing in a Sentence?

strobing on fleek

Why I can’t I use on fleek or strobing in a sentence without feeling like a jerk? I mean “My makeup is so on point!” sure, I can say that comfortably but “My makeup is on fleek!” I’m cringing so hard right now never mind saying it out loud as I’d likely blush and feel like an idiot if I did.

I’m either getting old or makeup jargon and slang is getting cooler than me, not that I’ve ever been cool, geeky yeah, but I was never a Heather unless you count lunchtime poll at gay clubs with my best friend haha.

But yeah, somehow, someway, makeup brands are creating their own lingo.
