5 on a Friday: OBSESSIONS

 Oh, my friends. I have some brand new obsessions lately.

1. THIS CONCEALER. Okay, full disclosure— I don’t wear any kind of foundation makeup except some primer under my eye shadow to help keep it on. But also! I have been looking really tired lately. Probably because I am TIRED and also IN MY MID-FORTIES. It occurred to me very recently, though, that there is an entire category of makeup that exists to solve the very problem of tired eyes. 

Still tired, but now you cannot even tell.


2. THIS SALAD. I only bought it because Trader Joe’s Whole Foods and Costco have been out of dill pickle salad, but it’s WONDERFUL. So wonderful that I packed it in my lunch with leftover chicken tika masala, and I am in love.
3. LOFT 60% off clearance sale. Did I buy 5 petite dresses for less than $100? I will never tell. But my spending tracker will **whomp whomp**

4. Homemade old fashioneds (Ben’s was an amaretto stone sour)
5. Halloween every day

  1. Oooh, curious about that concealer. I do wear foundation makeup but I don't do much under my eyes because it tends to exacerbate my lines. Maybe I'll try this though!

    1. It really is crease-less! And it makes an excellent eye shadow base.

  2. I want to see all these dresses (I loooovveee wearing dresses; the most comfy clothing option for my..."curvy" shape which is code for MY HIPS NEVER FIT PROPERLY INTO ANY PANTS).

  3. Halloween every day -- I love it! I am extremely interested in that concealer! Not only do I never get enough sleep, but I have a face that just naturally reads "haggard." I have dark circles under my eyes as a rule. Glad to hear you don't wear any foundation, because I don't either and that makes a ton of concealers hard to wear.

    Please do a post with all the dresses you bought. I love Loft and all their irresistable sales.

    1. I have the same problem with concealer, but this one is a delight.

  4. I'm intrigued by the concealer. My under eye circles are so awful. I don't wear foundation either. I use a powdered concealer but it's no match for my under eye circles. But I'm intimidated by allll the different tones so feel like I need help to pick out the right color! And yay for cheap dresses! I love dresses!

    1. Yes— I guessed at the color and it is fine. Will be too light in the summer, but it’s OK now.

  5. Ha! I remember the Halloween Every Day phase. My daughter wore her cupcake costume every day for a while.
    Boy, do I miss those days! So sweet and innocent.

    Five new dresses. What a treat. Will you share them at some time? Also those drinks look fancy. Hope they tasted as good as they look.
