In this chatty get ready with me, I’m catching you up on real-life updates while I try a new makeup product for the first time. I unbox and test the Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint stick foundation (shade 3 fair) that I grabbed on Mercari after it was only swatched once. I apply it section by section and blend with a brush, and I love how easy it is to draw it right on my skin (no pumping onto my hand). My first impression: it blends beautifully and looks really nice, but it’s slightly one shade too dark on me—though once I set it lightly with my Hourglass powder and plan to add bronzer, it starts to come together. Then we get into the big life stuff. Work has been busy, and even though I love my company and want to stay, I’m feeling stale after doing the same role for almost five years—so I’ve been stretching into extra projects and trying to turn that into a real next step. The biggest update is our housing: we officially sold our lake townhome (closed and everything), after a first buyer backed out right before Thanksgiving and a second offer finally came through in February. And yes—plot twist—we’re building a home and plan to move this summer, which is exactly why I’ve been in my low-consumption, decluttering era. I’m trying to make sure future me isn’t unpacking stuff I don’t even want.
