A Lazy, Rainy Work Day Browsing New Beauty at Sephora
Spring has sprung or at least it did for like one minute last week here in Gotham. Naa seriously, Spring has sort of shown up but it’s disappeared this week and the cold weather is back. Today is a dark, cloudy day and the rain hasn’t let up for a minute since it started this morning. I love listening to it pelt against the glass windows as I work. It makes me feel lucky that I’m warm, safe, and sound inside. I’m listening to The Barber of Seville at the moment (earlier today it was In This Moment which really disrupted the peace of the rainy day haha!) and a pack of Reese’s Pieces is sitting on my monitor riser tempting me to make Thursday my cheat day. My baby is sleeping on the couch in my office and I can hear her soft breathing. Sometimes she’ll snore a little!
I’ve procrastinated some of my work day away. Some of it was spent speaking to Courtney from Phyrra (it feels like ages since we last spoke), some of it was spent talking to my dad on Facetime, some of it was spent making my weekly Hinching list, some was spent browsing Sephora and putting things into my cart I don’t need.
There’s a lot of new beauty at Sephora. One particular item I just ordered was some of the new Melt Cosmetics Cream Blushlight. I am a huge fan of the Digital Dust Duo Blush and Digital Dust Highlight so I immediately knew I needed these new cream ones! This new cream formula has a natural, glowing flush and is available in six shades. After seeing them presented on Instagram I couldn’t wait to try them out. Review soon!
Here’s some other new beauty available at Sephora to browse on this rainy day!
