Film Noir. I got a sample of this Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara in a Sephora order, and whoa. It separates and lengthens like a dream. I layer it with a coat of Armani Eyes to Kill for the boldest lashes of my life.
Loathsome Chit-Chat. Working in politics involves a lot of small talk, before meetings, at fundraisers, etc.. It’s maddening. The CEO of Bumble created a small talk formula to help make chit-chat less uncomfortable.
