Is this a 10-minute makeup look because it took me 10 minutes to do…or is it a 10-minute makeup look because I only had it on for 10 minutes? I don’t know! Oh, goodness… I’m wearing lots of NARS Erdem Strange Flowers in these pics, and there’s a certain irony to this because I was outside walking among the flowers and the nature for approximately 10 minutes before I had to rush inside and wash everything off. Because my allergies went OFF! It’s been particularly bad so far this year. My eyes started watering like Trevi Fountain, man. So, yeah....

Yay for the Bay! In this series, for the month of February 2019, I’ll be featuring products from and around my stomping grounds, the San Francisco Bay Area. Why, yes, it amuses me to no end that whenever I need a tropical 🌴🍍 scent fix, the brand I usually turn to (H2O Plus) isn’t located someplace tropical. Instead, it’s based in San Francisco.

Funny how you can not hear a song for years but still know the lyrics… I always thought Trent Reznor seemed like a cool guy. Gather up your jackets; move it to the exits. Holla if you know who Alanis wrote this song about! I wonder if this guy ever managed to get some air? All malls looked like this one back in the day. CHECK...

MAN, people are FIRED UP 🔥 about the $46 Urban Decay Backtalk Palette, and it’s not just because of the warm tones. If you read some of the reviews on Sephora… My goodness! They make it sound like you’re smearing melted cat poop all over you eyelids when you use it. I mean, people have FEELINGS about it, and the main complaint seems to be the level of pigment, which I don’t really understand because I’m not having problems with it. Granted, I don’t think the palette is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’m not raving about it, but…...
