This week has been a little bit busy between running Caroline around to all her various engagements, coming down with some sort of virus and staying up until way too late to watch election returns. But here are some things I thought I’d share with you:
1. l’oreal voluminous feline noir mascara
I decided about a year ago that L’Oreal Voluminous mascara was about the best mascara on the market for the money. And if you’ve been reading here for any length of time, then you know I’m not afraid to spend money for some long lashes. I’ve tried just about every mascara out there, both drugstore and fancy department store brands.
Then someone mentioned this one to me a few weeks ago and so I bought a tube of it at HEB and – oh my word – I am in love. The brush is really the game changer here. It evenly distributes to each and every lash and doesn’t clump at all. This is my new favorite.
2. fruit of the loom beyond soft bikini panties
I spent about two years in a sad underwear desert. And, let’s be honest, nothing about that sentence sounds appealing.
But it’s true. I had switched from Victoria’s Secret underwear to Gap underwear about six years ago, but then Gap had to go and change their basic cotton underwear configuration and they no longer worked for me. So I ended up with a collection of various underwear from Macy’s, Dillards, Target, and Nordstrom.
Then, out of sheer desperation, I picked up these Fruit Of the Loom Beyond Soft bikinis at Target one day about two months ago and they are my new favorite. I know what you’re thinking, how come I’m so fancy with my six pack of Fruit of the Loom underwear for under $10? It’s just how I live.
All I know is they aren’t going to win any awards for beauty and maybe you need something a little spicier, but if you’re looking for just some good, basic cotton underwear then I think these are hard to beat.
3. thredup.com
Do you know about this? I feel like I’m the last person on the planet to know about it, but maybe it’s because I’ve been too busy on my quest for the best cotton underwear.
Thredup.com is an online resale shop. You can create an account and shop by brand, size, color, category, etc. And you can even send in your clothes for them to list. I haven’t bought anything from them yet, but I love the concept and it’s a great way to find cute things that you may not want to pay full-price for.
Apparently pink is the color for fall because there are cute pink things everywhere. I love this beanie, but I also love these vans pink old skool sneakers
And these pink new balance sneakers
I knew that this show was going to suck me in when I first heard about it. And, sure enough, I watched the first two episodes on Tuesday because I was home and didn’t feel great. You know what helps a virus? British accents, royal drama and opulent settings.
This is the perfect show to binge watch, especially if you miss Downton Abbey. And who doesn’t?
That’s it for today.
Happy Thursday.
