Hey, man, if you’re going to hobble around your condo at or near the speed of molasses, you may also do it in style, as well as by style, I indicate using a brown feline eye with a berry lip.

A funny thing occurred in the half marathon the other day. Going up as well as down those San Francisco hills, my quads went totally ham.

REKLAME

Now I can’t go down the stairs!

Well, I can…but it takes me forever, as well as I nearly autumn every time. I can go up the stairs just fine, which is weird, however going down is a struggle.

So when the FedEx guy, who on an unrelated note is a dead-ringer for Paul Giamatti, rang the doorbell earlier today as well as I tried to make it downstairs, I nearly didn’t.

All I might believe as I desperately clung to the railing was, “Please! If I autumn ideal now, let Paul Giamatti hear my cries as well as come to my aid, as well as if he does, please don’t have him judge me since I have chocolate in my teeth as well as I’m not using any type of makeup.”

Thankfully, I didn’t tumble (knocks on wood!), as well as I’ve figured out that if I slowly descend the stairs going backwards, I can make it to the bottom in one piece.

Så ja. If you requirement me, I’ll most likely be on the stairs walking backwards hella slowly.

After Paul left I really did surface my makeup for the day… I’m using products from the new Shupette (SHU-PETTE!) collection in a brown feline eye liner look with gold as well as pink eyeshadow on my lids, pink cheeks as well as berry lips.

Now, I understand that pink eyeshadow can be a bit frightening if you’re not utilized to it, since it can make you look like you’ve been crying and/or have just been bitten by something supernatural (vampire, werewolf, zombie, take your pick), however it can be extremely lovely as well as nearly function like a neutral if you pick a middle-of-the-road pink that isn’t as well pastel or bright, like the shimmery, mid-toned pink I’m using here, as well as you “frame it” (a term I just made up in my head) with neutrals.

Here I’m using pink eyeshadow in the center of my lid, surrounded by a light neutral gold in the inner corners, a medium gold just above the pink in the crease, a purplish brown in the outer corners as well as a dark golden brown on my lash line. I don’t understand why, however framing the pink eyeshadow such as this seems to make it much much easier to wear.

Try it sometime, as well as let me understand exactly how it turns out. If you’re inspired, send me a selfie! (Perhaps with your cat, as Tabs as well as I always like to see yo’ kittehs.)
