Glossier

I have always heard about and seen ads for Glossier online and a couple of months ago I finally caved and bought a sample set of their products from their Black Friday sale and I loved it! I have used up 2 of the products already but the one I use the most and was only halfway used was their Cloud Paint in Storm. Dan was watching the baby and had him in the bathroom while he was getting ready and somehow the baby opened up my makeup drawer and grabbed my cloud paint, opened it, and squeezed it all out! I was equally impressed he could twist the top off for his age and sad that my only blush from Glossier that I really liked was gone. I immediately ordered another but while looking I noticed one cost $18 but 2 cost $30 so since I only have my NARS liquid blush I figured ordering 2 more wouldn’t be such a bad idea. I got this set in shades Storm and Spark.

Storm is described as a warm rose and I really like how it looks on. These cloud paints are super easy to blend and layer so even when I feel I put too much on I just keep blending with my fingers and get the right look.

Spark is described as a bright Poppy and this is a great spring/summer shade.

I just noticed the expiration date is 6 months from opening, eek! I have to use them up fast. Thankfully I only have a total of 3 blushes so it shouldn’t be too hard but 6 months means I am on a time crunch.

I really am impressed with Glossier and will be using Poppy soon, but probably won’t post that since who knew it could be so hard to take a selfie and I get tired of seeing my face.

Also with warmer weather finally coming to MN my phase of all oldies music is coming. I have been listening to all 60s Girl Bands and will be moving to other favorites like 50s Bands soon. I don’t have many good memories of my dad but a rare one is always during late Spring and Summer listening to Oldies music all day, every day. He would be out drinking and working in the garage and I would sit on the porch steps reading a book and he would blast all oldies music and sing so loud and occasionally I would join him and he would love when I knew the lyrics and could name the band or person who sang it. It never fails I play a Trivia game in my head when I hear an Oldies song and have to know who sings it, before the Shazam app existed it would drive me crazy if I didn’t know who sang the song. I showed my dad Shazam when it first came out and he loved it (we both did not like the free 5 song limit though lol) and every song he really liked we would Shazam it and then I would burn him a CD of all the songs he loved and we would have a little CD holder in the car with all his favorites so he could listen to them anytime he wanted. I am so happy I made those for him because they are now mine and on the rare days I begin to miss him I listen to them and smile and sing away thinking of him.
