I painted my nails a lovely shade of pink (Chanel Les Varnis in India) about 30 minutes ago and now I’m staring at a no-doubt thirst-quenching can of Iced Tea, unable to open it as it will damage the afformentioned pretty pink nails. Fuck I’m thirsty.
While I’m on the topic of things beauty related, I will satiate the curiosity of el anonymous poster (just sign your name at the bottom, then I’ll know who you are!), upon my instructions, my beloved M returned from NYC with these goodies:
First, the Frederik Fekkai Wave Creating Spray . You spritz it on almost dry hair, twist strands into waves and poof! summer hair. I gave it a test drive on Wednesday and I was pleased. The waves held for about 4 to 5 hours, which is incredible considering how wave, curl and body resistant my hair is.
Next, M got me Hide and Heal from Joey New York. Basically a zit killing concealer. When is that not a great thing.
Finally, I was treated to Pop Beauty’s Eye Cake for Brown Eyes. So many colours of shadow!
I was pleased and I am enjoying my new toys. And fighting my make-up-lust urges. It’s like when I get one or three new things I’ve opened the flood gates and am like a rabid shopping beast. If I could be totally irresponsible and buy all that my heart desires, the list would look something like this (and that’s before the sales girls do their sweet talking):

Ahhhh, much better. Need for summer beauty inspiration indeed sated. I’ve been playing around the Benefit/Clinique/Sephora web sites lately, drooling. But I wait to hear it from you, to find out what’s truly THE STUFF.

Being a boy and usually looking at things the way that we silly boys do I have to point out( kinda off topic)…..use a kitchen knife next time to open the can. Thirst gone….allowing you to move on to more “Stuff”

Wouldn’t it have been darkly hilarious if M had gotten you the eye cake for the wrong color eye? Okay, I know that would never happen with a guy like M, and actually, any guy who would continually delight you with beauty products would know your eye color…anyway, never mind.

Dear Chelsea,
I read your blog almost daily. Roland is kind of an “addict” as well …

Feels a little like a voyeur. I read a lot of things about you … but you don’t know what’s up here … Think that’s kind of funny
By the way – Thanks for the good cosmetic hints
)))
Keep on writing
