If you know me, you know I love me some spectacles. I have astigmatism and while I usually wear contacts I definitely love my glasses. I’m in the market for a new pair but don’t really have the time to shop around for new ones - luckily Rivet and Sway provides three frames to try on at home for free! I love free everything, so clearly this was not the deal to miss.

I was actually surprised at how small the box was - I couldn’t believe everything fit in there so well. I thought I was going to have to sign for a package or something so I was very happy when the box fit perfectly into my mailbox. The box is also resealable - I get to use the same one to ship it back. Brilliant. 

I was pleasantly surprised with the three I chose to try on. I like them all! Help me pick one!

Hungry Heart in Tortoise (my definite favorite):

Punchline in Neapolitan (super fun, but I probably wouldn’t wear them in real life):

Spitfire in Black Crystal (classic cat eye - a very similar frame to my sunglasses):

Help me pick a pair!

Glasses aside, we had such an eventful weekend. We threw our annual summer kick off party and got to see a lot of friends, old and new. I’m so thankful to everyone who came out from Long Island, Jersey, the city, and even Iowa to spend their evening with us. We had a roomie move out and another move in, enjoyed some margaritas, mourned the loss of some favorite characters in Game of Thrones, and had plenty of chips and salsa. Here’s hoping the rest of the week is just as fun!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Mike and I ate so much that I’m  just waking up from my food coma. Since I gained 5 pounds from one meal I’ve decided to stay away from an outfit post. I think that’s best for everyone, you know?

On the rare days I don’t feel like applying my foundation, I reach for concealer. My all time favorite will always be Dior’s Skin Flash, but the price tag on that is so outrageous and it barely lasts two months. This Korres concealer isn’t entirely comparable due to it’s lack of “illuminating” properties, but it’s a concealer that works. It has a thicker consistency than I’m used to, but other than that it is smooth and long lasting.

I apply my concealer before I apply my foundation. Is that wrong? I feel like I read that was right in a Glamour magazine once, but since then it seems like everyone applies concealer after foundation. Anyway, here’s me in all my Easter makeup glory. The concealer is doing its job, concealing my dark circles and other imperfections.

It’s a nice concealer, but for $22 I feel like I could get a better bang for my buck. It works and all, but my Cover Girl $10 concealer is just as great at half the price.  I’ll enjoy it while it lasts, but once it runs out I don’t think I’ll be purchasing this again.

So I’ll start off apologizing for this photo. For some reason I can’t get the shot of these by themselves to import correctly, but the photo of them with the cat does….

Removing makeup before bed was one of my main New Year Resolutions. It’s embarrassing to admit, but it was a habit that I somehow fell out of. Realistically I am too tired before I go to bed to get wrapped up in a night time skin routine, so these facial towelettes are my savior.

I have tried many different kinds before, but none have the results that these do. The Clean & Clear towelettes left my face feeling oily; Neutrogena towelettes didn’t quite remove my makeup fully. The Yes to Cucumbers towelettes remove my makeup and leave my face feeling smooth without being oily. Perfect? I think so.
