Thankfully (yay!), Smashbox included a few transitional neutral matte beige as well as brown shades to ground the jewels as well as make them more wearable, as well as this may or may not have made me twirl around with my arms out like Julie Andrews in the opening scenes of noise of Music.

Welcome to autumn in the Bay Area, LOL!
I keep in mind getting so bummed as a youngster when it would rain on Halloween… I still went trick-or-treating, of course. I’d stay out up until either the umbrella started to cramp my style, or up until I felt like I’d gotten sufficient of the “good” candy, which usually meant strike Pops, Dum Dums, Tootsie Pops (I was all about the Pops) as well as (you understand this) Snickers.
As far as I was concerned, whatever else was basically filler.
