What a week! All the talk of Cinco de Mayo made me go out and eat a burrito and chips with guacamole on Thursday. Usually I try only to splurge on such treats on the weekends, but I couldn't resist. Anyway, here are some other things that caught my attention this week.
– Beauty Blogging Junkie brings us a pic of a gorgeous vintage Tiffany CoverGirl compact. How did I not know about the Procter & Gamble beauty archive until now?!
– In other makeup collectible news, a Japanese wooden cosmetic box is expected to sell for a whopping 200,000-250,000 British pounds.
– I love Lululemon's products but hate the stupid preachy brand philosophy, especially the ridiculous slogans on their shopping bags. (Admittedly, I use them for the farmer's market. Hey, they're roomy and sturdy!) Naturally I found this parody to be hilarious.
– Argh, looks like I missed the Kinetic Sculpture Race at the Visionary Art Museum yet again.
– A friend of ours sent us links to some videos from this oh-so-twee band from Spain. I wish I could remember my Spanish! Warning: if you watch below you will NOT be able to get the very catchy tune out of your head! And, oh yeah, the video itself is kinda violent and macabre. 😛
This one is much happier and will be my summer anthem – sailing off to "la isla de los helados" ("ice cream island", I think) sounds like a blast!
"El helado es el rey." Indeed. Hope everyone's having a nice ice-cream filled weekend!
