A Night at the Theatre

Hello, Fireflies!

It's Friday! What are you doing this weekend?  A little while ago, a friend dropped some community theatre tickets in my lap, so we got dolled up and went out!

I was wearing this gorgeous shimmery brown polish from Koco called Insta-Glam.

And, because when you go to the theatre, you should be dripping in jewels, I wore my real (simulated) crushed opal nail polish from Profound Glassworks!  It's so subtle, though.  I really wish the opals had more oomph.

I was actually leaving the house, so painting *both* hands was in order.

I wore some other jewels, too.  I don't normally wear these bib-style necklaces, but I love this.  Found it on clearance at Target.  

I have been experimenting more with my makeup, and figured - what better time to go for a dramatic eye than when I'm going to the theatre?  If anyone understands bold makeup, it's them!  I used my ELF brow kit (still learning!) and L'Oreal Color Riche Eyeshadow palette in 211 Blue Haute Couture, and Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara.

My primer and foundation were my new go-to products from Cover FX - the matte primer and the BB Gel. I think I used my Hourglass Mood Finishing powder that night, too.

The playhouse was right on the Intercoastal waterway, by the bridge.  I love where I live.

My Cover FX primer and BB Gel held up admirably in the Florida heat. Hubby could have maybe used some powder for his shiny head, though!

Usually, I wear a bold lip when I want to feel glam, but this time, I went for bold eyes.  What is your go-to for feeling instantly glam?

Fudge Urban Mousse - #FindItAtTarget

Hello, Fireflies!

There's this cool program called Influenster, where they judge you on how influential they think you are, and in what areas of interest.  If you pass their tests (e.g. "What is your favorite color," "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?") then they might give you something to try out and talk about.

I was pretty excited to get a #FindItAtTarget box, because I love Target.  The husband and I even have date nights there. Yeah, I know how lame that sounds, but really, it's insanely romantic and sweet.  We are so not newlyweds anymore.

So, this was what came in my Target box:  Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry and Vanilla Styling Mousse.

Wow, I haven't used mousse in a looong time.  Like maybe the 80's.  Things have changed.  For one, look at this cool dispenser.  It looks like a crazy, spiky, toothy mouth. 

I thought that the mousse would smell, oh, I don't know, like raspberry and vanilla?  Nope.  It didn't smell much at all.  It had a little of that chemical smell from the aerator, but it was very faint.  Nothing like the stinky mousses of my youth.

Ooh, fluffy!

I have a lot of thick, curly hair, so there was no way that just mousse would handle it, but I went minimal.  Instead of my usual oils and curling cream, I went with a light spritz of hair oil and a couple of handfuls of the mousse.

Quiz Question - is this pix taken from my front or my back?

Peek-a-boo!  That's my Cousin It impression! 

I'm just not ready to give up my oils and creams, but this would work really well for someone with a little less hair.  I like that it didn't smell strongly (though I was hoping for some of the namesake scents).  And, best of all, it's stocked at my fave place - Target!

What's your favorite Target find?
