This is the commemorative entry for a new type of blog post. On occasion, due to time constraints, a plethora of beauty bits and pieces and my intense affinity for the classic trivia show, Jeopardy, a “potpourri” post is necessary to convey all that is swirling around my mind in one fell swoop.
In this edition (be prepared for a run-on, yet grammatically-correct sentence), a great savings on high-end skincare, a beloved picture of my grandma and me, a preview image of my latest foundation obsession, a makeup and hair look I’ve been resorting to since the weather has become quite warm, a fairly random picture of my pup Jethro, a Beauty Professor honor and something to do this weekend if you are a Southern California resident (or fortuitously happen to be in the area on Sunday).

Foundation fixation…

Warm weather hair and makeup uniform…

| Above: It is getting rather warm in Southern California…summertime is in the air and humidity is at an all-time high. Once my hair is fastened into some form of a bun, the makeup I’ve been reaching for includes: Kanebo Sensai Cellular Performance Cream Foundation, Guerlain Four Seasons Terracotta Bronzer in Nude 00, Le Metier de Beaute Cream Fresh Tint in Mystique, a long-wear eyeshadow (lately from Bobbi Brown, By Terry or Giorgio Armani) and a peachy pink lip (here, a hybrid of Top Shop Whimsical and Burberry Glow in Fondant Pink). |
Puppy time…

Beauty Professor honor…

On Sunday 6/2, my brother (whose work I’ve featured in blog posts HERE and HERE) will have a booth at the Patchwork Show in Long Beach, CA. Admission is free and the event, which boasts a bevy of artisan wares and food trucks bearing gourmet edibles, runs from 11 AM-5 PM. If you are a Southern California local, I beseech you to swing on by…I will be helping him all day and it would be wonderful to see you!

Hello! Do you have a source to get the Kanebo Sensai Cream Foundation?
Thanks!!
Hello!
As it stands, the only place I can seem to get this foundation in the US is at Neiman Marcus!
Hope that helps…xo,
–The Beauty Professor
Hello my fellow foundation lover! What a wonderful post. So many great things to mention & see. First let me say how adorable your Gram is. I miss my Grandma dearly & think of her everyday. I'm glad u are cherishing the time with her whenever you can. Jethro, well I have no words for that cutie pie. I am definitely a dog person & had 4 growing up.Today in rhode island its 90 degrees and I too am wearing the hair up! I ordered the LMdB classic flawless foundation in 2 shades & hope atleast 1 works.Should get it next wk. I'm alittle obsessed with the kanebo sensai b/c of its glowing reviews. I may wait to order it after I see how I like the LmdB. Would u say the LMdB cheek tints show up & last? I just never seem to have luck with the cream blushes b/c they melt off at work in the salon. Have a great weekend with your brother…wish I could stop bye and say hi. xoxo
Hello dear Lynn! Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed this "all over the place" post ; ) Thanks also for your words about my grandma…she is such a blessing in my life. 90 degrees in Rhode Island?! Summer has definitely arrived, no?! I am so excited that you were able to order the LMdB foundation (I, too, have it in two shades that, in tandem and various proportions, work for most of the year). I am telling you, the Kanebo is so glowy yet medium coverage…it may need to be your next foundation pursuit! I do think that the LMdB cheek and lip tints show up and last…especially when applied with a stippling brush (rather than fingers). They are surprisingly pigmented. I don't normally gravitate towards cream blushes but these are an exception! Thanks for your well wishes for the weekend and my brother's booth…I wish you could swing by as well~I hope your weekend is lovely.
xoxo and talk soon,
–The Beauty Professor
Awesome! I've been admiring your bags! Hopefully I will be able to swing by Patchwork,as I've been want to for awhile. =o)
Thank you and yes!! I hope you are able to swing by, indeed! Please say hi at the booth if/when you come by!

Hello dear Nona,

Hello Giada!
Thank you so much for your sweet compliment…I will say that my brother is infinitely more artistic than I am! I am so glad you like his bags…he never ceases to amaze me with his designs and skills! In response to your question, the Princepessa in the size that I own is $550.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and look forward to chatting soon!

Hi B.P, once you review and possibly swatch the kanebo, I will definitely order it. Every time I see it on you, it does look amazing. Looking forward to that review. Thanks again for all you do. xoxo Lynn
Excellent, Lynn! The review is definitely on my priority list this week ; ) Hope your Monday was lovely!
