I love these videos - it feels kind of like a weekly catch-up chat. So glad the mammogram went well. I was terrified at my first appointment but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had sort of expected.

[kathleenmoortel]

These looks are so pretty. 😍 I love your talk through. Also this series is absolute gold! ☺️

Purple is such an amazing color for your eyes. I’m loving this series so glad I saw your Reddit post. I pick pallets to use for the workweek too.

[coleoftheball]

I love to hear people talking about such important things like mamograms! I'm glad to hear it went well! xx

Purple eyeshadow week - could not click fast enought! My favourite combo was the Lunar Beauty one although of course they are all lovely. I am beyond relieved for you that all checked out with the ultrasound. I think you should rock whatever eye look you want in the office! Good luck next week with the new computer programme/ugh. I came back from maternity leave and there was a new system in place. I was hardly impressed, lol.

[cavlizzy]

Love, love, love Purple!!! 💜💜💜 Thanks for doing these looks Kara!!
Also like that you used MAC Syrup. Great shade!

[marie-evegoulet]

I’m so glad the ultrasound came back with good news! Mammograms have been my personal nightmare. I had my first at 21 because of a mass and had have to have them recurrently ever since and the feeling of the thing itself is nothing compared to the dread of the results (and I have breast cancer history in my family so… 😖)! But I’m glad all is great!
Also… love the purple theme. That viseart palette has always tempted me and yet I have still to bite the bullet 😰

[candace]

I love these and love purple, so this is a double win. I love that Viseart palette and was looking at getting it until one of my friends told me it could be duped using the Naked Ultra Violet, which i have. I hadn't seen the similarly till she mentioned it.

Love this series. I like seeing the make-up and themes, but I also like hearing about what's happening in your world. I am also a working mom, trying to get it all to balance in my world.

I don't have many palettes (10-ish - almost all neutrals!), but I am picking one a week and using it. Just so I use what I have instead the same one all the time. However, I do lean into my one-and-done cream shadows throughout the week.

Day 1 was my favorite look. You make blending colors look so easy. Also I agree with you on the mammogram call. They never give a reason just say you need to come in for more images. So you panic and think the worst until the appointment and they say oh one image was blurry. Ugh but otherwise no issues having mammograms. Lol
Your son is adorable, maybe you could let him pick out a pallet you use for one week of work looks? Just a thought

[genb_genbeauty]

So glad you got your results from the ultrasound and all is well! I was spoiled rotten getting my first mammogram (I think I was 33ish?) and they said I needed an ultrasound before I left and then gave me the results on the spot so I only had to shit bricks for like an hour. Love all 4 looks you did!! 💜

[dawnr]

Oooh, I have this Viseart palette, so I can do this look. 💜

[sarahrojas]

I'm going to try look 3. Thank you

[lauranjo]

I think it’s cool you own the firm so can do whatever makeup you like - I’m a solicitor (lawyer in the UK) and I can’t do that, especially if I have Court I just wear a bit of eyeliner. I own so much makeup and most of it I can only use at weekends which is a pain! Love the looks :)

I like the voice overs! (and the Bennett 'interruptions' 🥰) Feels like we're having a nice catch up. Glad the ultra sound went well my friend! Think I'll dig out a purple palette for March 💜

[gfmiller]

Ooooh! My fave! Also I was wondering if you would share which red is in your hair. We have very similar coloring and I've been looking for something fun yet office-y.

[carolinek]

I voted for purple so woo-hoo. The last Lunar palette was my favorite, so pretty. Ummm... you have hamburger earrings? 😆

[noniefuss]

Let's hear it for a good result on your tests! I don't know how long it's been around, but Wife vs Secretary sounds like it was named by a fan of Mad Men. That 60's cheeky cheating vibe elicits more of an eye roll from me than a titter. OMG even though my kids are older, a random noise in the night is a guaranteed me wide awake until dawn for me. I've been like that since they were born! lol

[cavlizzy]

Nope... I don't like the name "wife vs. secretary"... Obviously for personal
