“I’m Just Sitting Here Watching the Wheels Go Round and Round I Really Love to Watch Them Roll”
I do admit that I can be a complete b1tch when it comes to repetitive releases or beauty trends that make a come back. Like many of you I’ve collected and worn makeup for many, many, many years and like many of you I feel like I’ve seen everything to a point that maybe there isn’t anything else to see. Maybe there aren’t any brand new, exciting innovations left. Maybe there are no more “WOW I NEED THAT!” moments to be had. Maybe there is nothing left that will send us into a makeup frenzy.
I know I can be very negative about repetitiveness and I can be b1tchy when beauty trends start repeating themselves. I don’t always like the “what’s old is new again” trend. I want fresh, I want new, I want exciting but maybe we’re just out of ideas at this point.
I realized something about myself though! I kind of just like sitting here watching the wheels go round and round and I kinda really love watching them roll even if they aren’t new and exciting and fresh and innovative and amazing and not evoking that I NEED A BACKUP moment. I don’t think Lennon was talking about makeup when he said that but it does apply here.
Sephora Microsmooth Multi-Tasking Baked Face Palette and Microsmooth Multi-Tasking Baked Face Powder released late last month for the Fall 2021 season and it instantly transported back to really good days with Laura Geller. How far do we need to go back to remember when Baked Blush n Brighten and Balance n Brighter were amazing? 10 years? More? Personally, I feel that the formulas has changed on both products and not for the better….! But that’s neither here nor there, I’m just happy to see baked anything reappearing in my beauty life because I love baked makeup.
Yes, I said it.
I love baked makeup.
I make no apologies for this. Bourjois Paris, in it’s Chanel heyday, was a beautiful thing to behold. I stand by my right to say that and I’m sorry if their baked formula did nothing for you but they rocked my socks right off my feet.
Sadly, I dunno if Sephora’s baked formulas will do the same. And I’m not no illusion that the formula will suddenly become popular again because it was never really popular to begin with.
But if you like baked formulas perhaps you’ll love these! And sometimes it’s ok to like watching the wheel going round and round. And it’s ok to not expect any great changes only re-imaginings of prior releases.
