Monday is here! Are we all groaning? Think about it…if we had Monday off after a long weekend we’d be groaning on Tuesday so, really, just embrace Monday!

I hope you’re having a productive day. Mine is super busy. I’m sorry for the lack of posts but work has been operation chaos lately. There’s a lot going on! But I’m not complaining. There are so many people out of work at the moment that I feel very blessed to be busy and stressed out. It’s a good thing.

Change is brewing for me…I hate change. I really HATE it. But I’m trying hard to be an adult about it this week. After a year and a half at home my boyfriend is finally headed back to Cupertino after Memorial Day. As some of you know he travels back and fourth between NY and CA quite often. I do the same but he does it far more than I do. It’s going to be really, really hard saying goodbye and I know I’m going to be a big baby and sob, slobber, and snot all over him at the airport but I wanna try really hard to be strong about it. He’s been my safety net, my protector, the person who’s belt I grab and who’s back I stand behind when I’m feeling scared…. This pandemic has taken away the confident and strength I’ve always had as a woman and has made me a complete whiny little kid. I’m slowly starting to get back to feeling comfortable being around people again which makes me optimistic about handling life again on my own! And of course, texting and facetiming him ever five minutes when something goes wrong….like that time I found Peppermint Joe Joe’s in the pantry and wasn’t sure if I should eat them or not so I had to interrupt his work day, text my best friend, and Facetime my sister asking if they were safe to eat! Who knows if expired Joe Joe’s could kill you?!?!?!?!? I didn’t get COVID but an expired Joe Joe would do me in because I HAVE THAT KIND OF BAD LUCK!

Makeup makes an appearance in today’s love letter…..! I’m having a love sesh with Urban Decay Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette lately….! Hmmm how unexpected! I thought I was going to hate it but I’m digging all these dark, sultry browns paired up with pops of teal and blue. I’ve been using this thing on the daily for the past several weeks and the more I use it the more I fall under its spell!

Standoff needs to be a single. I don’t care how you do it Urban Decay but I need this as a single. It’s a great color wash and it accents my highbrow perfectly!

I have a look with it on Instagram but I’ll have a more detailed review soon! Did anyone buy it? Are you loving it? Do share!

I hope you embrace any change happening in your life right now. I hope you’re strong enough to face it! I hope I’ve inspired you to break out Naked Wild West and do a look for it. And don’t worry, I don’t think expired Joe Joe’s will kill you but let’s agree to not tempt the hands of fate deal?

The E.L.F. Jelly Pop Collection has returned and with it the E.L.F. Jelly Pop Primer! Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy E.L.F. Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer but I’m pretty hyped the Jelly Pop one is back! Actually the really good news is the Jelly Pop Collection is back! Not entirely back as some items haven’t returned like the Jelly Pop Blush but there are some old favorites that are back as well as some newer items all of which are available now at ulta.com!

If you’re a fond fan of the stickiness and grip of J. One Jelly Pack I’d say you really need to snatch up the Jelly Pop Primer!

Here’s a look!

No one panic! Remember we’re all good hitchhikers that have traveled the makeup galaxy for long enough to know when to get nervous and anxious about discontinued products!

A few of you are anxious that Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks are on sale at sephora.com and ulta.com and with the relaunch and redesign of Urban Decay Single Eyeshadows the need to panic does set in. I personally wouldn’t worry about it though…! I really don’t think they have plans to revamp the lipstick line. It’s pretty standard and traditional for them to mark down the lippies in the Summer. If you look back the last three or more years each Summer they’ll do 50% off the entire line. I don’t think this means they’ll be discontinued or reformulated. I just think they are clearing up stock. Nothing to worry about it but it is an excellent time to snag a deal!

Hope this eases some of your anxiety 🙂

Happy hauling your fav shades!

NARS Orgasm On The Beach Cheek Palette ($59) is a new, limited edition cheek palette that launched for Summer 2021 over the weekend and contains six glorious shades in coral and golden hues. The palette is inspired by none other than the iconic Orgasm shade and of course, must to everyone’s horror I’m imagining, the palette does in fact include Orgasm as one of the shades. I know, I know! We have plenty of Orgasm to last us into the next century but the other shades just might tempt you!

Shades include:

• Turtle Bay (shimmering peach champagne)
• Naples (metallic rose gold)
• Mandalay Bay (satin caramel bronze)
• Montezuma (shimmering golden peach)
• Orgasm (peachy pink with golden shimmer)
• Zuma (satin rouge)

I have no control, my weakness is NARS blush so I did pick this one up. It’s a beautiful palette that I’ll likely get plenty of use out of during the warmer weather and well into Fall as I adore peach and coral blushes. I really don’t need another Orgasm though! I wish NARS would stop force feeding the shade into every palette launch they do for Summer but I get it! It’s one of their most popular shades and they do so love feeding into that.

Ironically, I was just saying that a NARS Orgasm Collection was really late coming and here we are with a new palette! And yes, for lovers of Orgasm if you’re wondering there is a Jumbo Orgasm Blush available again! It’s $40 and 0.28 oz in size. I’m still working through my old one! Def don’t need another! This size literally lasts for ages plus keep in mind I use Orgasm quite a lot!

Did anyone else pick up the NARS Orgasm on the Beach Cheel Palette?

Planning on it?
