NARS Summer 2011, Sweet Relief and Random Acts of Beauty - Makeup and Beauty Blog

In that location are few things I adore more random acts of beauty like…

My tabby alarm clock

Most mornings I'm awakened by a chubby tabby cat set to become off near a minute before the regular alarm on my phone. It'due south a very unusual warning in that I'thou actually the source of the sound, which is similar a painful yelp. Information technology works like this: Tabs, who usually sleeps in his kitty bed on the floor, climbs upwards onto my bladder and launches from information technology into the air, "Whee!"

And it even has something like a snooze button because after he does it the first time, I usually drift back to sleep, and then he does it again virtually 10 minutes afterward. This repeats over and over until I finally become out of bed.

But this morning the tabby alarm clock malfunctioned in a glorious fashion! Instead of using my float as a springboard, Tabs climbed up onto the bed and gently snuggled his fashion into my arms like a present. 🙂 Of course, I soaked it up equally long as I could (cat ladies, you know what I'm talking about), listening to him purr and feeling the curve of his warm kitty body against mine as rays of sunlight filtered in through the windows onto his fur. Information technology was and so peaceful and calm that I almost couldn't get out of bed!

Sweet relief

When I finally did sit upwardly, the showtime give-and-take out of my oral cavity was "Hallelujah!" Today's was the showtime morn in — I tin't even call up how long — that I've gotten up without pain. I've been PMS-ing for what feels like an eternity, and "the girls" have been uncomfortable and sore, then much so that even lying in bed hurts. Does that e'er happen to you?

Sleeping in my regular bras hasn't helped considering the hooks and wires dig into my skin, and the sports bra I tried was mode likewise bounden. But concluding Saturday at Macy's I stumbled upon a line of stretchy one-piece bras from Barely There and decided to give them a try.

I got the one called the ComfortFlex Fit Bandini (comes 2 for $26). Information technology'southward basically a super soft, non-binding sports bra without whatsoever hooks or wires, and it fits snugly to keep everything in place, only yet isn't and so tight that information technology cuts off the circulation while I'g sleeping.

Two words: sweet relief!

The best matter since…frozen waffles

Later making my way downstairs this morning and fueling up on caffeine and peanut butter toast, I took a generic Zyrtec and put on Tabs' harness to have him outside for a quick walk.

For some, taking allergy meds may not qualify equally a random act of beauty, but JEEZ! — it's and then nice to be able to enjoy spring without sniffling or sneezing from allergies, or feeling sleepy or foggy-headed from meds. Back in the day, the over-the-counter stuff hardly helped at all, and I ever had dreadful seasonal allergies. Information technology may not be makeup, simply Zyrtec is still beautiful to me.

May I take some eye processed?

While Tabs explored the great outdoors from the prophylactic of his kitty harness, I snapped a agglomeration of pics, like this one of a blooming bush-league.

Don't you just honey spring?

A NARS Dogon Duo obsession is born!

NARS Dogon Duo on eyes

After Tabs got his exploration on and we both went dorsum indoors, the best part of my morn started — the part where I put on my makeup. Today I played with NARS Dogon, a powder eyeshadow duo from the new Summer 2011 collection.

This doggone duo might be the collection'southward least expected star.

I think both of its shades — the metal taupe with the green sheen, and the charcoal black — wait great on their own, just wait even MORE amazing mixed together. The resulting shimmery, grayish charcoal black contains a hint of metallic green. And then beautiful and circuitous, and probably one of my favorite goodies from the release. If yous have a weakness for smokey eyes and/or taupes, don't let this duo sneak by without taking a closer look.

Accept y'all encountered whatsoever random acts of beauty in your neighborhood lately? Inquiring minds desire to know.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
