I’ve found solace

Posted by Robin on 14 May 2020 2 Comments

And while getting dressed in clothes other than sweatpants is a total nonstarter and the entirety of my regular beauty routine has gone out the window (save my holy grail cleanser and moisturizer), I've found solace in indulging in the tiny bit of luxury that is spritzing a bit of fragrance on my wrists every morning.

    Although I just read that women who have applied makeup seem to touch their faces less, and since not touching your face is a good way to avoid getting the virus, that might be an excuse to put some colors on your face. I myself, am enjoying the opportunity to wear extravagant amounts of all my rich deep “Not acceptable for work anymore” perfumes. Day before yesterday, I put on copious amounts of Hove Carnation, and then over applied the Souvenir de Malmasion roller ball from DHS, that is broken, so I just sort of shake the little bottle until some juice fall out on my skin.
    Yesterday I did 8 sprays of Sham’s Oud and it was glorious all day long. Today, I am thinking about using up my decant of St. Clair Casablanca to try to decide if I want to commit to that… 🙂

      That is so interesting about not touching your face when you have makeup on!
