That is Connor’s birthday Caboodle, and it’s full of jewellery and make-up. 🙂
Can any person please clarify the maintain that Caboodles have on us? Effectively, not 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 robust emotional grip at any time when one is round. Perhaps it’s as a result of my Caboodle was such a giant a part of my youth.
Ahh, make-up. I put some on right now 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 little bit 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 appears to be like. Should you’re the kind of one who likes shadows that don’t make you’re employed too onerous, you would possibly prefer it.
Please word the chocolate brown liner on my water traces, 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 feel I discovered a brand new staple!
I’ve quite a few 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 birthday celebration on the Marin Humane society.
The women saved asking of the cats had been edible, LOL! (They completely had been, by the best way.)
I debated lengthy and onerous between frosting them the evening earlier than or the morning of the get together, which by the best way, began at 10:30. Facet word, if you need to plan a two hour get together for a kid, they usually provide you with a alternative between a morning or afternoon slot, morning is the best way to go IMHO. I favor taking Connor to morning events as a result of that means we nonetheless have the remainder of the day to do different issues, and if she’s nonetheless hungry after the get together, we will go on to lunch.
The place was I? Oh, frosting. I wasn’t certain when to frost as a result of the frosting was buttercream which I constructed from scratch, and it contained heavy whipping cream and butter, so I wasn’t certain if I might go away them out in a single day.
I requested my buddy Allison from my bakery days what to do, and she or he advised frosting them the evening earlier than, popping them into the fridge, after which taking them out within the morning very first thing so they might come to room temperature earlier than serving, which is what I ended up doing.
Just a few cupcake FYI for ya from knowledgeable baker!
Glad Wednesday to you, and I hope the remainder of the week treats you kindly.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
