Observations of a Wi-Fi Drifter…

28 Oct
Due to a broad Verizon internet outage in the Tampa Bay area, I chose to seek refuge in a change of scenery and work from a local Starbucks yesterday. Here are just a few things I’ve learned:

1. There are a lot of “regulars” and the baristas do an amazingly good acting job pretending that they like these patrons — then chuckle at them when they leave.

2. By their mannerisms and appearance alone, I was fairly accurate in my guesses of what type of drink most people ordered.

3. Overall, patrons at Starbucks are really high maintenance & obnoxious with their orders. This behavior is not only tolerated, it seems to be encouraged.

4. Starbucks is a really good place to discuss divorces, set up trust funds for your kids, start new business ventures, interview granny nannies, discuss baby names for hours on end, meet for a secret rendezvous, conjure up conspiracy theories, and pretend that green-tea-half-caf-soy-frappuccino-with-extra-whip is a health food and not a milkshake.

Naked Palette has a DUPE!! Get involved!

12 Oct

Ok, so I’m like a million other girls who have been trying to get my hands on Urban Decay’s naked palette…and I’m not paying eBay extortion…so, I’m waiting it out.

….and waiting……and waiting……and I’m getting impatient!!  So, I started searching online for some kind of a close cousin…

Alright, yeah, I’m a little late to the party…but, I found NYX’s nude on nude palette for a fraction of the cost.   So…get involved, people!!

Soooo many of the colors are close dupes…and this palette is surprisingly pigmented.  Throw some eye primer on and the pay off is gorgeous!  It’s a tiny package, but a little goes a long way!  Plus, with so much other makeup in my collection, I’ll probably still never “hit pan” on these colors.

 

Seriously gorgeous….seriously.  You heard it here, kids.  Go…..run…..get a nude on nude palette by NYX.
