Thursday Tidbits

This is where I would usually start a post saying "omg, I've been such a bad blogger" etc etc but I think we're all done with that nonsense, right?  Especially since I'll drop off the planet again in, oh, 3 minutes.

There are 999 items bouncing around in my head, which makes this rainy (gray, dreary) day perfect for a random thoughts post, don't you think?

  • Saw on Twitter (damn you Twitter!) that Sephora is having Friends & Family discount for the next week or so.  I desperately need new blush and my foundation has been looking awful lately.  So, sigh.  Click here to get the discount code.
  • On a related note, I've been spending money like it's going out of style.  I've purchased 3 pairs of boots in the past week.  As opposed to the ZERO pairs I owned before.  I'm a whole new woman.
  • On a related note, also, I want to take pictures and have you all ohh and ahh over my new boots... but it is SO damn gray and rainy that my house is basically pitch black at all times.  Where is the sun??
  • I want to post some of my pictures from Chicago but that would involve looking through them... and it's depressing because 99% of them that feature me are out of focus.  HARD LIFE.  Wait, I just found one.  Had to crop one of the BFF's out of it because she's fixing her hair.  And my hair... let's not talk about it.
  • Ok, I'm really just overwhelmed with the need to buy a new blush during Sephora Friends & Family... and I think, for some reason, I'm kinda over Nars Orgasm.  I demand you tell me what blush you're using.  Pretty please?

  1. thanks for sharing the code. I actually use NARS orgasm but I'm curious to see what you decide...I think I'm going to be ready for something new too. Please share once you decide. Thanks!

  2. I was using Nars, but switched over to Laura Mercier. I think I have the color with rose in the name. I really like it!

  7. I use Mocha from MAC. I love it and it lasts forever! The last one I had lasted me for over 4 years, and I use it ever day. The only dumb thing about it is that the name makes no sense, it's actually pretty pink!

  8. Look how pretty you look!

    And for blush, i couldn't even tell ya. I'm not a big make up girl, and most of what I own is from CVS or Target. Sorry I'm no help!

  9. My favorite blushes are MAC Her Blushing Cheek (?), Bobbi Brown Peony and elf's Peach. Even though I'm darker in complexion, I've seen these colors work beautifully on other complexions!

  10. Benefit "Dallas." The tagline for it is "Outside glow for the inside girl" or something like that. I think it's probably more of a bronzer, but it's not a crazy color that is super pigmented, so I like it better than most blush/bronzer.

  11. There's an excitement in being overly occupied/busy, so enjoy it if you can. ;) And I can totally relate about the spending like there's no tomorrow. :)

  12. The Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes are hands down the best I have ever used. I have "Doll face", "Amused", "Tipsy" and "Exposed". Amused is my favorite, it's a very bright pink similar to Peony by Bobbie Brown.

  13. You look great! I have no blush recommendations. I have a Clinique one that I don't like and rarely use.
