On a different topic entirely

Or maybe not. I'm not sure I really believe in such a thing as "different topics" or, for that matter, such a thing as "entirely."

In any case, I'm in the midst of admiring these beautiful Burberry eyeshadows, which arrived today.

Even the packaging is luxurious, as you can maybe see here:

Interestingly, just yesterday one of my undergrads wrote an email that ended with the hope that I had had a "luxurious" weekend. Hmmm, I thought.

Now I can say that the weekend, while fine, was no Monday, which was indeed luxurious.

And here are the shadows, somewhat artfully arranged. Trench, Rosewood, and Taupe Brown. They do go on very smoothly. As for staying power, I'll let you know.
