It is the last day of June and one day before my 42nd birthday! I have been off work the last few days celebrating and every day has been pure joy spending it with people I like and doing things I enjoy! It’s hard to believe that the first birthday I celebrated here on Cosmetic Proof was my 29th birthday and here we are at 42. It’s sobering how much time has passed and how things have changed and yet stayed the same. This is a place that anchors me and where I can happily sit in nostalgia with “how things used to be”. With the way AI is going, people won’t even have to read makeup reviews anymore, but I like having things here for me. I have always said this place is my diary, my online journal and even my own personal database of swatches and beauty products I have tried so I feel like I will continue to write here even if more and more people go towards TikTok and Instagram for their makeup reviews. I am here for all of us who are in our 40s or more!
Today’s nail art initially began with me just wanting to wear this new pink polish from Essence that I picked up two weeks ago. It looked really pretty in the bottle, but when I went to apply it, there was visible VNL even after three coats SO, I wanted to cover it up by doing an “abstract” French tip. I painted on the red and then thought it needed some more decoration so I added some weird lavender-coloured lines which didn’t POP as much I thought they would.

Are you taking the long weekend off? I am thoroughly enjoying my time off in the sun and will be sad to have to go back to work I think!
