Saturday Surfing, Feb. 26, 2022!

by asfe Make-up

good morning to ya. How’s your Caturday going so far? Good, I hope. With everything unfolding in the world this week, I’m grateful to simply have shelter and feel safe at this moment, because a lot of people don’t have that best now…

I hope your tummy is full wherever you are. I hope you feel safe, warm and content, and I hope you’re surrounded by people who care for you and love you.

I try my best to keep MBB light and bright because, as I get even more into adulthood (*ahem*), all of the real-world problems feel heavier and heavier, and my hope is that MBB can always be a short-term shelter from the big scaries — a place that feels safe to just prattle on about things that bring us joy, whether it be makeup, cats or pop culture. I hope you always feel good when you visit.

But, as you very well know, in some cases the real world intervenes.

On that note, hi again. Oh, guess what? This girl is going back to Sephora today because I just tried on a few of the new things I purchased yesterday, and they looked funky…and not funky in a good way.

The Ilia very Serum Skin Tint looked heavy and grayish green on my skin (the color I chose was Morgat), the Ilia Concealer seemed just a touch too thick, and the Caliray Mascara refused to hold a lash curl.

Hmm… maybe I’m pickier than I used to be. All I know is I’m still searching for a mascara, concealer and skin tint that sings to my soul.
