#BLACKLIVESMATTER

It’s been a heartbreaking week for the world, but the reality is that black men and women have lived with horrific injustice throughout history and history keeps repeating itself. My white privilege means I can’t full comprehend this, but I SEE it existing. I KNOW it exists. I HATE it’s existence.

This house is anti racist, and I can only hope to continue to learn ways in which I can be an ally, raise and ally and walk to walk of an ally.

I *finally* got my Sephora sale order and it included these two gorgeous @hudabeautyshop Matte & Metal shadows.

These did not disappoint!!! The matte formula is almost whipped, super pigmented and blends out better than any cream shadow I can currently think of - less is more, these aren’t meant to be painted on or they will flake.
The metallic side is a little thinner in texture and can be patted out for a sparkle topper or applied more opaque.
Basically, I’m thrilled and have worn them non stop because it’s the easier eye look EVER. (Full review with swatches is on the blog now)
Have you tried these? What’s your go to cream/liquid shadow?

Are people still social distancing where you are?

Are people still social distancing where you are?
Restrictions seem to be lifting in some places and not in others. We’ve seen some stores open in Vancouver this week, and there’s talks of kids going back to school, part time, on June 1st for a few weeks until end of term.
What’s going on in your neck of the woods, and how are you feeling about it?

I’ve been thinking about doing a MASSIVE declutter.

As in ruthless.

Sometimes I get completely overwhelmed by how much makeup I have (even as a collector). As new products launch constantly, I fall in and out of love with products, and as a beauty writer I find it really important to balance between keeping products I KNOW I love, and new shiny things (gotta have that standard to which we hold things to, and I will always have products that I consider the litmus test for others to perform by). Do you struggle to get rid of beauty products that you like but just don’t use for whatever reason?

Hello, haircare hero!

This mask from Phyto for dry hair has been giving my dead, well beyond needing a trim, ends some life! I’m so glad I discovered it in my stash!
I have fine hair, so I’ve been using it in lieu of conditioner once a week. It has a gorgeous creamy texture yet doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave residue behind. It smells heavenly, which doesn’t hurt either 😉.
Have you recently discovered a hair product that’s been a game changer?

Throwing it back to this @esteelaudercanada @victoriabeckham collection - the highlighter in Modern Mercury is still one I reach for most days - it’s the perfect glossy sheen neutral glow!

RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED!

What are you watching and reading these days? Have you been binging anything good on Netflix or prime? What was the last great book you read? Help a girl out in the comments below!

I have *very* few pictures of myself and Everly together. She’s hard to wrangle and I’m actually pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera. Occasionally I do get some #proofofmom, albeit usually a grainy front camera shot🙈.

Before I became a mom I can’t tell you how much I yearned for it. For a long time was pretty certain I was never going to get my chance. I remember that moment of finally seeing a positive pregnancy test and being in complete disbelief (so much so I took 5 more!). It was the best day of my life up until that moment.

Being a mother is unlike anything I ever thought it could be, both in difficulty and in privilege. I see the most amazing traits in Everly that I wish I had in myself and I think that might be one of the most wonderful things about motherhood: nurturing your child to be exactly who they are.

Happy Mothers Day to all you amazing moms, dads that are also moms, grandmas who take on motherhood a second time, step moms, foster moms, should-be but haven’t been able to be moms, soon to be moms, and mom-like figures out there.
I tip my hat to you all!
