Sundays With Tabs the Cat, makeup as well as beauty blog Mascot, Vol. 696

Roar! Did you hear that…? It was the phone call of the jungle, a phone call that Tabs responded to rather often. ADVERTISEMENT To the unassuming passerby, Tabs may have looked just like a routine old housecat, however inside he had the heart of a lion. He fancied himself as the King of the Jungle. There were a few incidents — some may phone call them skirmishes — where he had a power play with a lion or two on set, however thankfully since of my superior settlement skills, I was able to take things down a few notches, as...

This Matte brown classic Eye makeup opts for everything

This is an easy, everyday classic eye look. If I were cruelly forced to select a tiny handful of eye makeup looks to wear for the rest of my life the rest of the winter, this matte brown look with brownish black eyeliner would absolutely make the cut. Not only is it relatively quick to do (say 15-20 minutes start to finish), it’s also easy because it doesn’t heavily rely on intense blending.

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, makeup and charm blog Mascot, Vol. 637

Tabs liked his Christmas trees full and lush…and now that I think about it, they were typically shaped like him, with a very round, robust bottom. He always insisted on being the one to pick out the tree for the house, and I think his list of criteria for acceptable trees included making sure the branches were low enough for him to hide under so that he could launch a sneak attack and swat at your ankles. ADVERTISEMENT It’s been a year and half because Tabs crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve held on to his stocking. I put it...

DIY Eyeshadow: mixing Bronzer as well as Highlighter for effortlessly radiant Lids (And one more lazy woman Glam Look!)

Multi-use creams up in the mix! I stumbled onto this fun method to make your own personalized shadow yesterday while I was putting on some makeup to run tasks — mix bronzer as well as highlighter together with a brush, as well as swish around your lids. The result? effortlessly radiant eyes! I utilized equal amounts of a multi-use cream bronzer as well as a highlighter (both by Lancôme), as well as all I did was dip a tapered blending clean into the pan, swirled whatever together on the back of my hand, as well as then swept the mix...

Pretty in Pink, Plum and Bronze, and Sea Otters!

A little bit of color! “You can do it. Yeah, champ, keep moving that blending brush. You got this… YOU CAN wear COLOR! COME ONNNNNNN!” Yes, these days, my internal makeup dialogue sounds like a boxing trainer talking sh*t from the sidelines. ADVERTISEMENT (Not that I’ve ever boxed a day in my life… The closest I’ve ever come to a ring is enjoying Million dollar Baby. like Tabs was (RIP, buddy), I’m a lover, not a fighter.) Put this in your “note to self” file next time you get worn out of wearing brows and beiges and the normal neutral...

Latest charm purchases

newest haul! I’m only realizing just now that I still haven’t purchased the one charm thing I actually needed to purchase this week (an Ilia eyeliner to replace the one I finished). Still haven’t made it to Sephora. Sigh. I did manage to get some things at Target and Ulta to replace other items that were running low, though! Side note: while I was at Ulta yesterday, I overheard a mother telling her teenage daughter that she was done waiting and that 45 minutes was plenty of time to pick out a nail polish, and they needed to go, like,...
