I find this series so relaxing and relatable. I don’t physically drive into an office but host meetings online every workday. Ironically I’m in IT, though not with the software you are wrestling with. Sounds like your son has a serious creative spirit. I’m glad they are working with you to get a replacement and very cool of them.

I totally understand your computer frustration. I work from home on the computer all day and I'm forever telling it so hurry up or stop freezing or having monitors flashing while I'm in a team meeting. Good luck with the new program. I hope it gets better soon. Have a great week! Beautiful looks as always ❤️🙂

I love this series. Just chatting and seeing some great makeup

[Sirenitallenita]

This videos are my favorite. I love catching up on your week. I’m sorry the software is still failing you. Wishing you a calmer next week!

We're the same skin tone and have similar makeup styles, so I really enjoy these videos. ❤ Thanks for all the work that goes into them!

Last look is my fave! Sorry to hear about the casualties from Dr. Bennett’s lab tests 😬

[kathleenmoortel]

These looks are so beautiful! Especially the last 2

Awww your mini me is super cute.💗 My little boy used to pour everything into the bath too, and put his fingers into all of my shadows. He's nearly 6 and I hope/think this has stopped, or at least paused. Xo

Love this series/every look beautiful. The BH citrine palette on you was my favourite. That bright coral lipstick also stunning on you. Ugh new system nightmare continuing. At work we started something called iManage a few years ago - my nickname for it in the beginning was iDon'tManage. I may have e-mailed the Tech Peeps with this as a re line. Hoping this week goes way smoother for you. P.S. Spring please come soon!

You looked beautiful all week but that first look was my favorite

[genb_genbeauty]

Look forward to this series every week ❤ Wishing you much patience this week 😬

I have been working from home since Covid and this is the one part of my day I miss - having that reflection time while putting on my makeup. It always made me feel so ready to take on the day. I could always put on some makeup just for myself - and I have a few times, but sometimes it turns out so nice it’s a pity that I’ve got nowhere to go 😂 basically, I’m living vicariously though you and loving it!

I do halo eyes very similar to you! If you want extra shimmer pop, grab a silver and tap it with a tiny brush right in the center in a vertical line. I have oily hooded lids so concealer has never been a viable option - it just creases immediately on me, so I've made up some different tricks.

Wtg #nomadcosmetics. This is what customer service should be!!! I will definitely be checking your brand out now after seeing and hearing what great customer service you have.

[reneecoffey]

Hahaha. I feel you with the judgey sad face in emails. I have a pie-chart that goes orange, red and.green depending on if ive put grades in. The orange pie (and gasp if a very late red pie.pops up) gives me anxiety. Anx-piety. But green pie makes me happy!

[IllyDragonfly]

My cat scratched my brand new palette so I know the suffering X'D
By the way I started destroying deliberately the shimmery shades which I don't use and that committed the crime to evacuate their pans. I'm not letting those witches contaminate my other shades, my favourite mattes especially! At least I know that I won't be stuck with shades I don't like and that I'll use other palettes with better shimmers/duochromes.

[geniej]

The audacity for them to charge you to fix their own botched installation! They should be paying YOU for lost productivity!

[noniefuss]

Isn't technology wonderful? The way it makes our lives so much easier...
My week was a hell of a different flavor. I had a week of such insane and anxiety inducing dreams I barely slept. I finally gave up and had an adult gummy night night bear and slept 14 I'm so glad my kids are both grown and held down the fort for me. There is definitely something in the water. (Good lord, the makeup murder recounting hurts)
At least I had your video to look forward to :) As always, it did not disappoint. ((Aspen, I love your Ike puppet!!!))
