That is Connor’s birthday Caboodle, and it’s stuffed with jewellery and make-up. 🙂
Can someone please clarify the maintain that Caboodles have on us? Properly, no less than the maintain Caboodles have on me, ha ha ha!
I do know technically it’s only a cute plastic field to carry make-up and miscellaneous doo-dads, however for some purpose I really feel a powerful emotional grip every time one is round. Possibly it’s as a result of my Caboodle was such a giant a part of my adolescence.
Ahh, make-up. I put some on at the moment as a result of I had a video assembly to current a giant advertising deck (yup, I wrote it!), and nothing appears to assuage my nerves like a bit of little bit of face paint.
I’m sporting taupe, brown, bronze and peach shades from the Sunkissed Getaway Eye and Face Palette by Wander Magnificence. It has a bunch of eyeshadows and cheek powders for breezy bronze seems. If you happen to’re the kind of one that likes shadows that don’t make you’re employed too laborious, you would possibly prefer it.
Please word the chocolate brown liner on my water strains, which is Cave gel liner by Hourglass. Fairly, yeah? I just like the richness of the pigment, and the way it’s not too pink. Stays on all day, too. I believe I discovered a brand new staple!
I’ve quite a lot of deadlines on Friday, so I gotta get again to it. Earlier than I head out although, these are the cupcakes I made for Connor’s cat-themed celebration on the Marin Humane society.
The women saved asking of the cats had been edible, LOL! (They completely had been, by the way in which.)
I debated lengthy and laborious between frosting them the evening earlier than or the morning of the occasion, which by the way in which, began at 10:30. Facet word, if you must plan a two hour occasion for a kid, they usually offer you a alternative between a morning or afternoon slot, morning is the way in which to go IMHO. I want taking Connor to morning events as a result of that manner we nonetheless have the remainder of the day to do different issues, and if she’s nonetheless hungry after the occasion, we are able to go on to lunch.
The place was I? Oh, frosting. I wasn’t positive when to frost as a result of the frosting was buttercream which I constituted of scratch, and it contained heavy whipping cream and butter, so I wasn’t positive if I may depart them out in a single day.
I requested my buddy Allison from my bakery days what to do, and she or he prompt frosting them the evening earlier than, popping them into the fridge, after which taking them out within the morning very first thing so they may come to room temperature earlier than serving, which is what I ended up doing.
Just a few cupcake FYI for ya from an expert baker!
Pleased Wednesday to you, and I hope the remainder of the week treats you kindly.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
