by wearing makeup from the new MAC keepsakes holiday collection
I got Ruby Woo’d today, man! I had an early morning meeting, so no glitter or falsies. just a reliable, classic combo of cat eyes and red lips using the contents of the new MAC keepsakes Smoky Eye Bag ($39.50/$47.50 CAD) and keepsakes Red Lip Bag ($39.50 US/$47.50 CAD).
Red lips and cat eyes — it’s hard to go wrong with that combo. There are unlimited ways to tweak and work it.

I typically use a gel or liquid liner for my feline eyes, but I was running late today. (No way! That never happens, haha.) I couldn’t risk getting into a Greco-Roman wrestling match with my eyeliner, so I went with a softer, smokier version by lining my upper lash lines with a black eye pencil, and then smoking out the edges with a shimmery, blackish gray eyeshadow to create the cat eye shape.
Sometimes I choose the softer, less formal look I can get with the eye pencil-eyeshadow combo…and in some cases it’s just quicker and simpler than trying to control a gel or liquid liner.
It being the season and all, I paired the eyes with a red lip, reaching into the MAC keepsakes Red Lip Bag for MAC Ruby Woo Lip Liner, Ruby Woo Matte Lipstick and Ruby Woo Lipglass.

Oh! If you haven’t danced with bluish red Ruby Woo yet, you MUST. It’s one of those MAC reds you have to try at least once, ideally when you’re going someplace fun (no, not a work meeting…although that would also work).
The MAC keepsakes Red Lip Bag and Smoky Eye Bag arrive online with the rest of the keepsakes collection October 19, before showing up at North American MAC stores and counters October 23 through December 18 (and whatsoever international MAC locations this November).

Migraines, and Gilmore girls mania
TRUTH: All I want to do is marathon Gilmore girls on Netflix today.
Dat is alles wat ik wil.
How did I miss this show when it came out?! Let’s see…at the time I was in my already melodramatic early 20s, so that kind of discusses it.
Anywho, I really like the show, and I’ve had a awful migraine all day, so I’m tempted to just pet Tabs and view TV on the couch.
Did you view Gilmore Girls? I’m still on the first season, so lots of Gilmore left to watch.

P.s. I don’t know why this occurred to me best now, but guess what other terrific show returns for a new season this weekend?? (Here’s a hint: it stars a samurai named Michonne.)
