I don’t know when it happened, but sometime in the last few months, I switched from Team Milk Chocolate to Team Dark Chocolate, which is crazy to me because for years, I’ve told anyone and everyone I’ll listen that dark chocolate it tastes like punishment, LOL!
They say that Your sense of taste changes as you grow wiserso that’s not a big surprise, but then again.
It’s kind of weird to be at the checkout counter at Trader Joe’s and impulsively look for chocolate and buy dark instead of milk. Side note, who am I kidding? It’s not impulse chocolate when you buy it all the time. HAHAHA!
Anywho, while we’re on the subject of chocolate, it’s been a minute since I’ve worn a Too Faced palette. I tried their new one Better than a chocolate bar recently just for fun to see if I was still feeling it…
It’s like a cross between the Better Than Sex and Chocolate Bar themes.
Sigh, I don’t know. Their first Chocolate Bar palette came out a decade ago (!), and I can’t believe they’re still recycling the same idea. You’d think in 10 years they’d be able to create something new, but I guess they really like to stick close to what they know.
Blending and pigmentation was fine, but I felt that warm browns make my skin too red (I’m NC 42 in MAC by the way). It’s a very distinct type of look and I’m not always a fan of it on my skin tone because I feel like it makes me look like I’ve been crying, so I probably won’t be adding this palette to my regular rotation anytime soon.
Gosh, speaking of regular rotations, apparently now I’m on the “second interview” merry-go-round. I had one on Monday via video and a second in person yesterday.
I defaulted to my usual neutral MAC lipstick, Velvet Teddy, to keep things “prophetic” (air quotes), but after seeing myself in the photos, I kind of wanted to wear a brighter lip.
Hopefully I’ll get a few more opportunities to do second interviews, and if so, I’ll change it to something brighter. 😀
However, I was happy with the leather in this look. Good ol’ Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation never lets me down, but I recently saw a reel from Sam Chapman on Instagram with Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Formula and dust, and now I’m itching to try something new. The combination looks really beautiful and not too heavy. I WANT!
Happy Wednesday to you by the way. We’ve reached the hump!
Your neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
