So much to catch up on…I'm still wiped out from my niece's Star Wars b-day party yesterday but I think a good time was had by all. 🙂
– Look out, it's attack of the bubble masks!
– So glad someone else knows that contouring has officially jumped the shark and made an appropriate parody tutorial.
– Hair trends over the past few weeks include stencilling and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde hair. As for facial hair, brows and lashes go full color.
– Questionable beauty advice: putting one's face in a bowl of ice upon waking (no), applying foundation with a sock (no) and using limes as deodorant (definite NO).
– Racked has an interesting piece on the "new" lip gloss and how glossy lip texture is becoming trendy again. (I never thought it was out to begin with…)
– I think this artist-run beauty salon is more my speed, but a spa inside a Burger King doesn't sound bad either.
– Now this is a 100-years-of-beauty video I can get behind.
– Some more science-y articles I've come across are the chemistry behind makeup and this "second skin".
– OMG.
The random:
– I don't feel quite as bad about being so attached to my material possessions, thanks to this new study.
– In '90s nostalgia, it was weird '90s week at Stereogum! Loved the whole series, but my favorite posts were on the Spice Girls, the story behind Len's "Steal My Sunshine" and of course, the bizarre swing revival that took place in the later part of the decade. Meanwhile, the Huffington Post shares an oral history of The Craft.
– For you sneaker pimps, check out this upcoming exhibition.
– How come this 15-year-old 's Apple Museum that he started in his basement turned into a legitimate institution in just 5 years, while my poor museum still continues to struggle? It's an interesting collection but also annoying that it occupies a public space with less effort and time than I've put into my project.
– Oops.
– Loved this piece on the world of professional mermen. Along those lines, check out these biodegradable can rings – so much better than plastic for mermaids' sea creature buddies.
