Well, that happened…
I’ve spent most of the last week sick and voiceless. While trying to fight whatever I’ve got, I started watching Suits. Clicked on the first couple eps of S6 on Sling. Started watching from the beginning on Amazon Prime. Now, I’m midway through S2. Hello, Hooked. Honestly, they had me at Devlin-MacGregor.
Not quite sure why I’ve not seen any of it until now. I was cable-free when it premiered, and I’m not sure if it was easy to see without opening up a vein to Time Warner or Comcast. And, I guess, I didn’t see a reason to “find” a way to watch it. Now that I’m here, I’m all in. I really like the entire cast, but, you know, I LOVE Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman. After years of L&O, I want more than the case. I want the inter-office interpersonal relationships that are more interesting onscreen than the annoying ones in real life. I love these characters and the way they play off of each other. Plus, I get to see all my Toronto acting faves!
Yes, I know Gina left midway through season six. That means I’ve got five and a half seasons of great acting in a killer wardrobe and aspirational low-key super sophisticated makeup. Starting next month, with the return of The Catch, Gina will be a part of the Shondaland Lady Gang, on another show with a talented cast, great makeup and fab costume design.
I bought some stuff and it got delivert… I know the war is coming. Sometimes, though, I just want to play on my face with colors.
Green Beauty – Late into the night I placed a Detox Market order. Caroline Hirons made me do it. I live in LA and could have just done the brick and mortar, but the internet and late nights were made for shopping. SuperCool thing is sample pack you can create to try out coveted+expensive potions like the Vintners Daughter serum! More on the order later.
Charlotte Tilbury – Last week’s order came with samples, even ones I didn’t request. Perks for ordering directly from CT. Big NO for Kim K.W. and Bitch Perfect lipsticks. Waaay too pale. Like major whiteness on my lips. I, mean, okay, I guess for So Marilyn. It’s bight red on me. Wearable bright red. I’m just not wearing red right now. Very Victoria breaks my rule from last week. I’ll have to put it on the list for when the moratorium lifts or when I stop lying to myself about there being a moratorium on nude-y/neutral pinky/mauve-y/peachy lipsticks. Magic Foundation in 10 is a bit dark and red. I’ll try a bit of the 9.5 or 9 when I order the Very Victoria. Someday. Oh and the thing I actually ordered, the Pillow Talk lipstick is cute. It does need a hint of MAC Chestnut liner.
Sephora – You know, the one from last week with the powder and ABH palette. I think I love the ABH palette. The shadows are rich and pigmented and not the same bronze, brown and green that I always buy. Playtime, people. Time to PLAY!
Nars – I went into Sephora three different times to look at this limited edition palette. The first time, I walked away sure that I didn’t need it. The second time was a swatch only trip, but I knew. The third time, I had to have it. But, I waited. I wanted to make sure I was paying cash and not just charging another haul. Now, it’s mine. I’m good on blush. Well, there is that Hourglass one. (I have a problem. I just said it out loud.)
Screw Winter…
It feels like winter somewhere not here. It’s cold and rainy. Where is my sunshine? Why am I wearing something resembling a coat, a lot? Why am I thinking about buying, like, sweaters? Not cardigans, but comfy crewneck pullovers. It’s like I’m dreaming in Fair Isle or something.
I’m watching that…
The Good Fight… On Sunday, Christine Baranski is back as Diane Lockhart in The Good Wife spinoff. I’m excited for the character’s return and more Cush Jumbo. The thing is, the premiere is going to be on CBS and then, the show moves exclusively to the CBS streaming platform. I just don’t know if I’m going to shell out more money for another streaming service. Yes, it’s only $6.99 a month. Just thinking about it, though, is making me wonder if I pay too much for what I already have and don’t really watch. Showtime might be put on pause until Lena Waithe’s Chi gets a premiere date. That does not mean an automatic pickup for CBS. I just don’t know. If I do it, it may be only for the duration of The Good Fight season one. We’ll see.
Cause it was supposed to rain lots…
I got drenched on my Friday afternoon commute. What am I going to do on the long holiday weekend? I plan to be productive. If that happens, though, I’ll be surprised.
But, maybe, I’ll be…
+ listening to bon iver playlists on spotify.
+ making and burning the incense.
+ sleeping. i shouldn’t but, really.
+ getting back to my freaking bullet journal.
+ taking pictures of pretty things in my apartment.
