This Stila Smudge Crayon water resistant primer + shadow + liner Is turning on the Sprinklers at Midnight Blue
You utilized to see it a great deal in motion pictures that took location in Brooklyn, new York, where on a blisteringly hot day, one of the so-called pet dog days of summer, someone, a lot of of the time you didn’t understand who, would crank open a terminate hydrant on a hectic street, as well as all of the youngsters in the community would laugh as well as play in the spray.
Back when I was a kid, considering that none of the homes on our street had a swimming pool, as well as terminate hydrants were deemed off limits as well as impenetrable, we did something similar with sprinklers.

It never seemed planned, however on a few of the most popular days, one of the mommies or dads would turn on the sprinklers in the yard, as well as all of us youngsters would converge on the home like a swarm of butterflies, buzzing as well as darting with the spray.
My thing was cartwheeling, which I’d deftly do directly over one of the sprinklers, up close like to thoroughly soak my hair.
Big sigh… That was always one of my preferred things about summer.

Ya know, somebody must pass an ordinance making it socially acceptable for adults to leap as well as frolic with sprinklers in their bathing suits. I’d strongly support something like that.
Among the selling points: sprinklers expense less than swimming pools, they’re a extremely effective method to awesome off, as well as you can utilize the chance to try out some water resistant eye makeup at the exact same time.
LOL! Don’t even front. I understand you were believing it, too. It’s one of the reasons I like ya.
Not wanting to miss a millisecond of fun, I’d look for a smooth-as-silk liner with great deals of pigment, ideally one that I might swiftly apply, like Stila’s Smudge Crayon water resistant primer + shadow + liner in Midnight Blue ($22), a chubby, twist-up water resistant crayon able to draw thick, rich lines that dry in less than a minute.
It’s one of eight Smudge crayons that just recently made their method onto Stila shelves last spring, each one appealing to prime, shade with shadow, as well as line.
Okay, however what makes it deserving of one those fantastic summertime sprinkler sessions?
I’m glad you asked.
The answer: intestinal fortitude! likewise understood as durability. On my bare combination dry/oily lids, as long as I’m cautious not to rub my eyes, it won’t budge for a solid 6-8 hours, 5-6 on my water lines, as well as it’s absolutely fearless around water, as well as that includes perspiration.
When I’m in the mood for thick swipes of dark blue, I like to utilize it as a liner…
Stila thoughtfully tucked a sharpener into the base of the liner, making it a snap to sharpen
Now, as a primer as well as shadow, I believe Midnight Blue is just okay. It struggles a bit when I utilize it as a primer underneath powder eyeshadows, making it a bit tougher to produce smooth shifts as well as gradients between different shadows.
I’m not sure why, however I believe it may have to make with the quick-drying formula, which doesn’t feel slick/slippery at all. When it dries, it’s set, nearly like a momentary tattoo.
As for utilizing it as a shadow, I do like the color, however again, it refuses to budge, which in this situation makes it hard to blend as well as buff out the edges. I was truly shocked that a product with the word “smudge” in the name would be so tough to smudge, however c’est la vie.
Joten kyllä. even though Midnight Blue isn’t as versatile as I’d like, as a water resistant liner for drawing thick, dark blue lines, I believe it’s great.

The point Reyes Lighthouse: saving sailors considering that 1870
On our anniversary last Saturday, El Hub as well as I spent a huge part of the day checking out some parts of this area that we’d never seen before, like Stafford Lake…
Only about a 15-minute drive west from right here on the method to the Pacific Coast, it’s a smallish lake encircled by a quite park dotted with picnic tables (it’s likewise house to about a zillion Canada geese!).
Now that we understand where it is, El Hub is trying to get me to go fishing there with him one of these days… I stated I’d provide it a try as long as I don’t have to touch any type of worms.
After the lake we continued west one more 10 minutes or so to the quaint town of point Reyes, just a small town with a few restaurants around a walkable downtown.
Saturday was their regular farmer’s market, so we cruised around…
…but we were extremely hungry as well as craving a sit-down meal, so we stopped for lunch at an Italian location called Osteria Stellina ResTaurant, suloinen ja rentouttava alue, jolla on kunnioitettava ruoka sekä erittäin suuri tunnelma.
Lounaan jälkeen olimme poissa! Eteenpäin suosittu majakka.
Se vei loooooongin, kun pääset sinne, todennäköisesti vielä yksi 40-50 minuuttia, mutta se oli siisti. Se on menetelmä keskellä missään tien päällä, jossa on tuskin kaikenlainen verkkoliikenne, joka menee laitumella maalla, jossa on paljon vanhoja maitotiloja sekä ranches, että kaikilla on valtavat puiset indikaatiot niiden edessä kun ne perustettiin. Vanhin, joka oli alkanut noin 1850, niin vain vuosi tai kaksi Kalifornian Gold Rushin alusta.
Siellä lehmät olivat ihmisiä ja ovat ihanteellisia tapaa, joten meidän piti odottaa muutaman minuutin yhdellä pisteellä nautakarjan ylitys (ensimmäinen elämäni)!
Kaikki menetelmän päässä tien päällä, ihanteellinen valtameren lähellä, tulimme valtavalle parkkipaikalle, yllättävän hektinen ihmisten kanssa, jotka näyttivät näkyvistämättä. Sitten pysäköimme sekä aloitti puolen kilometrin matkan majakkaan.
Huomaa sumu? Se meni olemasta paljon yli 80 astetta muutaman kilometrin päässä rannikosta 50-luvun puoliväliin.
Itse asiassa majakka tarvitsee kiivetä alas (ja sitten kun olet valmis) sarja 300 portaita!
Siellä on vähän historiallista rakennusta, jossa on vähän retkiä majakan historiasta, joka valmistui vuonna 1870, miten se oli vain toinen majakka, joka kehittyi Pohjois-Amerikan länsirannikolla (ensimmäinen oli Alcatrazin saarella vuonna 1854) Hyvin kuinka koko järjestelmä lähetettiin ympäri maailmaa (koska tämä oli Panama Canal) Ranskasta.
Sitten tulee hauska osa. Mene takaisin 300 portaalle!
Se ei ole yhtä huono, jos otat sen hidas … ja siellä on penkkejä levätä matkan varrella.

Jos tulet olemaan naapurustossa, Point Reyes sekä majakka tekevät erinomaisen päivän matkan sekä hienoja tarjouksia muista polkuista, villieläimistä ja muista nähtävyyksistä nähdä ympäröivällä alueella (kuulen, että siellä on jopa polku, joka päättyy vesiputoukseen).
