“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” — Dorothy Parker

Learning Curve. The eight things I learned from my first adult relationship.
Liquid Assets. I am completely obsessed with this No. 7 Radiance Boosting Primer. So glowy.
Forensic Analysis. The best questions to ask in your next job interview.
Golden Parachute. I don’t usually lust over designer pieces, but these Gucci heels have me positively shook. The flats are pretty chic too.

For a simple eye look, I love gold shimmer shadows. This look is easy, fast and looks like a party. Use a strong eye primer to keep it in place, and either a shimmery liquid shadow or a cream shadow. Use an eyeliner pencil and good mascara to complete the look. And do not forget to fill in your brows!

curious – have you shifted something about your affiliate link-through? knowing that’s a revenue stream for blog, I understand, but lately 100% of any shopping links are blocked by my security as phishing/malware. When I go to a less rigorous security system, all is good. I used to get one or two, but for the past week or so it’s all of them.
an fyi. if I feel strongly about checking out a style, i’ll grab mobile and turn off wifi to check it out, but the probability of me completing that act is about 15% versus 100% click-through on my desktop.
great content – thanks!
That’s going to be more on the security protocol side of things than on Belle or even Shopstyle’s.
I don’t know if shopstyle has changed, maybe your anti-virus software has changed. No idea, that’s not something I control.
I can’t see any of the Shopstyle links at work, but I’m not sure if that’s changed from before, since it’s a fairly new job. FWIW, my work blocks any ad click-through, even the ones that come up in Google searches. If I remember, I’ll check on my phone when I’m not on wifi, but more often than not I forget and end up not clicking to see what’s linked. It’s pretty annoying, but if that’s the way you make your money, I don’t see another option.
I love the gold shadow look! Any drugstore recommendations?
I bought this one and was impressed with the formula for an inexpensive drugstore brand: https://www.target.com/p/revlon-colorstay-creme-eye-shadow-745-cherry-blossom-0-14-oz/-/A-51075548?sid=1002S&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Health+Beauty+Shopping_Local&adgroup=SC_Health+Beauty&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=1018511&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzKjJ59LV2QIVW0sNCh15ngS_EAYYBCABEgId8_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
On the contrary, I picked up the ELF version of the cream shadow pots after I left the above one at my mom’s house out of state over Christmas, and it clumps and gets chunky when applying.
Thank you! I’ll give it a try.
