On Monday, Governor Polis announced that restaurants (and breweries working with restaurants or food trucks) would be allowed to open for dine-in services – with restrictions – starting on Wednesday, May 27.

Fort Collins Holiday Twin Drive-In Will Host a Socially Distant Concert Series This Summer5/28/2020 The question of how to watch live music given the current restrictions on large gatherings has been looming over everyone’s head — especially as peak concert season comes around. The folks from the Fort Collins Music Association (FoCoMA), Odell Brewing and Sustain Music & Nature have an alternative answer for you. Starting Tuesday, June 9, the will host social-distance-friendly concerts, projected on the big screen every Tuesday from June to August. “Just like everyone else, our music scene has struggled to find creative ways to continue working and performing in these uncertain times. We are grateful for such a supportive community that has worked with FoCoMA to produce a fun (and safe) concert series. We are thrilled to continue supporting our musicians, our music industry and for the opportunity to do our part to bring some live and local music back to Fort Collins this summer,” said Greta Cornett FoCoMA President in a press release. The concert series will feature Northern Colorado bands playing live music to audiences safely watching from their cars. Cars will be a minimum of 10 feet apart and lawn chairs are permitted in front of patrons vehicles. Tickets for the series will start at $30 per car, covering two attendees. From then on, its $10 per every additional person. The current concert line-up includes: June 9 – Sugar Britches and Bonnie & the Clydes (Country) June 16 – Holdfast. and TBD (Rock) June 24* – Write Minded and Boss Eagle (Hip-Hop / Rap) * Wednesday Show June 30 – Del Shamen (featuring Jock Bartley of Firefall, Nick Forster of Hot Rize & John Magnie and Steve Amedee of the Subdudes) and Cary Morin & Ghost Dog (Americana / Blues) To purchase tickets to the Drive & Jive concert series click here. via https://303magazine.com/2020/05/drive-in-concert-series-colorado-fort-collins/ Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Lacquer ($38.00) is a high-shine gloss and lip stain hybrid that’s supposed to have “maximum shine, intense color and lasting hydration.” I fear these might be getting discontinued as they are disappearing from some retailers, and there’s a newly-released gloss by the brand that sounds very similar (but has a new name). At $38 a pop, I figured I should swatch the ones I already bought before it’s a total loss! And yes, Daybreak REALLY applied that poorly. That was the BEST it looked, I promise!

As a FYI, the five Foiled Eyeshadows are actually previously-released shades but with new names–which is really odd for MAC as they repromote but usually use the same name! For reference: Sunphoria = Feminine Wiles (slightly cooler this time around), White Haute = Fairy Land, Sand Tropez = Faerie Fayre, Monaco-co = Enchanted Forest, and Tide ‘n’ Seek = Magic in Your Eyes. They came out in 2015. The just-released version in 2020 felt marginally creamier with slightly smoother shimmer, but keep in mind, the originals are five years old at this point (so there could be minor changes in texture over time, like being a little drier!).

MAC Bronze Collection Swatches MAC Bronze Collection Swatches MAC Bronze Collection Swatches MAC Bronze Collection Swatches via https://www.temptalia.com/mac-bronze-collection-swatches/ A sediment pond in Denver’s City Park, near the corner of 17th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, was originally created in 1917 as a living work of art. Filled with flowers inspired by the renowned Impressionist painter Claude Monet and his paintings of lily pads and water gardens late in life, this lily pond fit nicely into the City Beautiful movement of the late 19th century. A few years later in 1925, the pond was incorporated into the DeBoer Canyon by landscape architect Saco DeBoer as a way to beautify that space, even more, and offer a romantic getaway for the people of Denver. Decades later, the lily ponds were drained, leaving six seedbeds exposed. Now, more than a century after the lily pond wowed onlookers with their blooms, the artist team Two Palm Studio reimagined the abandoned seedbeds into a pixelated garden made with 6,000 painted stakes. Instead of the natural fluttering of stems, buds and leaves, these stakes point upward in rigid form, stoic and solid. But the grace and movement of flowers are implied with these stakes in an abstract way, making it feel like a moment in time has been stopped and stretched as we watch. Behind Two Palm Studio is Sarah and Joshua Palmeri, a married couple who lived at the corner of 17th Avenue and Steele for years. Sarah is an abstract painter, Joshua an urban designer. When the two decided to transform the lily ponds in City Park, their two artistic practices merged in interesting ways. Sarah grew beyond her studio practice in order to physically paint thousands of stakes and Josh had more flexibility to imagine the reinvigoration of a place that lost its purpose. “When we first started visiting the site together, all I knew was that I wanted to fill the space with color,” Sarah explained. “I loved the abstract shapes of the seedbeds, the conceptual connection to growth, and the hidden, calm quality of the space. After seeing the historic photos of the pond in its early days, we decided the piece should echo some of that history, and the color became as tall as what the surface of the water would be. It brings back some of the original intentions of the space.” Click to view slideshow.“I found it interesting that the space was not originally meant to be walked in because it was full of water and lilies,” said Joshua. “I have a passion for repurposing underutilized and unused public spaces and enjoy pushing the boundaries of what they can become or how they can be used differently.” Color Field -- named partly in response to the Color Field painters of the 1950s and ’60s — is a three-dimensional painting that changes depending on your view of it. The stakes are painted in monochrome groupings so that the colors stand out brilliantly with one sweeping glance, even though each group is made of hundreds of fractured pieces. But upon closer inspection, and you are encouraged to walk amidst the stakes, you’ll find slight variations in color patterns that invite you to further immerse yourself in the exploration of the space. If you visit after a heavy rain, you’ll find impromptu ponds surrounding the seedbeds — “which is kind of magical” as Sarah exclaimed.
“It’s an abstract representation of the lily pond, but it’s also a sculptural maze of color that you can inhabit,” said Joshua. This is also a good way to describe how the artist duo works together — Joshua, who thinks in terms of participation and moving through a space and Sarah, who lives in a world of color and abstraction. Aside from the historical connection with Monet, the installation might not immediately appear connected to Monet’s brand of art. And yet it plays with many of Monet’s foundational techniques and inspirations. For instance, Color Field offers a different scene to someone who sees it in the morning from someone who sees it at dusk — an ode to Monet’s haystack series, among others. It was, however, a coincidence that the expansive Claude Monet exhibit at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) arrived before Color Field was actualized. “The exhibit at the DAM was announced when we started planning this project two years ago,” Sarah explained, “which was incredibly affirming that we were on the right track.”
In order for this project to happen, the Palmeri’s applied for a P.S. You Are Here (PSYAH) grant last year after partnering with City Park Friends and Neighbors — an organization devoted to protecting the “classical pastoral character” of City Park. The partnership was awarded $8,000 to complete the project — which was accomplished over Mother’s Day weekend. It will be on view and accessible to the public until the end of September. READ: Check Out These 11 Public Art Projects Coming to Denver in 2020“I think it’s important to make art more accessible outside of gallery or museum walls,” Joshua commented. “The fact that anyone can stumble upon a new space, have a unique perceptual experience and discover something that is out of the ordinary should be a creative opportunity that everyone gets to experience more frequently.” For more information visit the Color Field website.

It is our intention to highlight the talents of local musicians, whether veterans to the industry or newcomers. Like the bands, the album can be fresh or something we just haven’t had the power to take off repeat in the past few months. Check out previous entries in the series here. Quarantine jams should not be slow and gloomy, they should be lively and upbeat, like Cities in the Sky’s debut EP, Wasted Words. The Denver band boasts Sequoia Greene on vocals, Alex Pockrus on lead guitar and vocals, Miles Stephens on bass, James Medina on drums and David James on guitar and vocals. The new five-track EP Wasted Words is a bold introduction to the world, and the release does wonders showcasing each of the member’s talents. With lengthy guitar riffs and belting vocals, it is hard to pinpoint a singular strongpoint, but perhaps a release as such shows us that the spotlight can shine all over a room. “The creation of Wasted Words was everyone’s first time recording a multiple track project in a studio,” cites vocalist Sequoia Greene. “It was a bit challenging at first with conflicting concepts and direction. We were used to playing off of each other’s energy when practicing or playing live, so it was a new experience to take single track takes and layer the parts.”
I’m lucky that there’s no area that needs to be expanded! ?

via https://www.temptalia.com/are-there-any-areas-of-your-collection-youre-trying-to-expand-which-ones/ If I had a weakness in cheek color, it would be coral. Whether it’s a lighter coral with lots of shimmer or intense coral that borders on copper, I have a weakness for all of them. I could probably write a dissertation on all things coral (I don’t know about having the energy for that, though!). We’re entering another hot week here in Arizona, which always puts me in a summer mindset and leads me to think about my good friend coral blush! So, I thought I’d share some of the best performing, permanent shades I’ve tested and reviewed… I would love to hear about your favorites in the comments, but don’t forget to chime on the official Best Coral Blush page!

Light corals can sometimes get into a peachier territory, and for some skin tones, they end up more as brightening or highlighting shades. I’ve tried to include an assortment of options across price points, shimmer-levels, and both pinker and more orange-leaning hues. I often use these types of shades as highlighters or as a highlighting blush (something that highlights and adds color — not something that’s necessarily sheer!).
Blushes like Make Up For Ever B302, Hourglass Diffused Heat / Incandescent Electra, Essence Satin Coral, and Persona Georgia are stellar picks for those who like more of a skin-like finish–not flat and not quite matte. Dior’s Hologlam has more contrasting shimmer, so it can be a way to wear a coral base without it reading as warm-toned (alternatively: layer a lavender, purple, or cooler pink highlighter over a coral blush you already own!). Sydney Grace’s highlighters--Sun Kissed Peach, Cantata, Peach Kisses shown here–are intensely pigmented and shimmery, and they tend to read true-to-pan but a little brighter.

I have another 15 picks for more light-medium to medium-depth coral highlighters and blushes (though, most of these are officially blush shades). Again, I’ve tried to provide a list of high-performing options across price points, finishes, and undertones so that you can rediscover a favorite you already own (or something similar!) or narrow down to something on your wish list.
Blushes like Make Up For Ever B308, B210, and B314 offer really skin-like finishes with really nice vibrancy and true-to-pan color. Cream blushes like Fenty’s Strawberry Drip along with ColourPop Totes / Sidewayz have both brighter color paired with almost dewy finishes that are perfect for getting all the summer vibes.

The deeper a coral gets, the closer it gets to orange, copper, or red! I’ve included a mix of medium-dark to deep coral hues (a few that are officially categorized as copper or red, actually!).
Products like Flower Beauty’s Melon and ColourPop Mic Drop offer a cream/liquid format, which can be more forgiving when working with a deeper hue. I also find that cream formulas can look a bit truer-to-color even when sheered out. I’m a huge fan of MAC’s Extra Dimension Blush range for a blush that offers a luminous finish with color impact (Cheeky Bits, Telling Glow, Faux Sure). These also work well as highlighting blushes (depending on your skin tone).

The highlighter appeared darker in the pan than applied–it definitely seemed a fair bit lighter in practice but some of the depth might be more apparent on someone of a very light skin tone. Both products applied well and delivered the pigmentation they were marketed as having. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Velvet Melon (Blush)Velvet Melon (Blush) is a medium-dark peach with warm, orange undertones and a natural finish. It seemed to have barely-there pearl throughout that gave the illusion of a more satin to semi-matte finish once it was applied, blended out, and left to dry down. The blush had a creamy, emollient texture that was spreadable and easy to work over bare skin or on top of foundation as it didn’t seem prone to lifting up my base products. It had medium, buildable coverage that applied evenly and blended out nicely. The color stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview- Each shade in the range has two levels of color intensity; each shade has a "High Intensity" version, which offers "double the pigment" compared to the regular shade (which has less intense, more "buildable" coverage). The formula is supposed to offer "easy-to-apply, blendable" blush that is paired with a "complementary" highlighter with. In my experience, the High Intensity version offered greater pigmentation but also offered a more saturated take on the color scheme; it felt more like making a certain color combination work for both lighter and deeper complexions rather than just doubling up on the pigment. The regular shades were semi-sheer to medium coverage and were buildable. The High Intensity shades were definitely higher coverage and typically ran semi-opaque to opaque. The consistency was creamy with moderate slip and felt like a traditional cream brush (wet to the touch, emollient, and thin). They applied well to bare skin as well as over foundation for the most part, though a few shades could have been more foolproof to work with over base products. The more shimmery shades (like highlighters) felt slightly more emollient compared to more cream-finish shades (like blushes). As they're a creamier product, they sheer out and blend quite well during application, so one often needs to pat on a second layer to amp up the coverage (rather than applying more heavily) if higher coverage is desired (less necessary with High Intensity shades). The formula dried down for the most part but didn't look totally flat or matte. As a result, they didn't slide around too easily during wear on my skin. Most shades started to show signs of fading after seven to eight hours of wear, which is average most cheek colors for me. Browse all of our Kosas Cream Blush swatches.

Velvet Melon (Highlighter)Velvet Melon (Highlighter) is a light, peachy beige with warmer undertones and a soft, luminous sheen. It appeared warmer-toned and peachier in the pan, but it seemed lighter when actually applied. It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. It had a lightweight, creamy consistency with moderate slip that felt thin and emollient when it went on, but it dried down for the most part and didn’t feel wet or tacky to the touch. I found it sheered out somewhat when initially applied, like more traditional cream formulas do, so building in layers was key for more coverage (if desired). I didn’t have any issues with it over bare skin or patted on top of foundation. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Initially, it wasn’t clear if that also included breweries since the original statement said any establishments that didn’t serve food would be evaluated in June. However, there seems to be a loophole Polis address in his FAQ statement. It says breweries that partner with either a restaurant or a food truck that prepares and serves the food on-site can also re-open under the new rules. These rules include, but are not limited to, the following:
Go here to read the full guidance However, this does not apply to breweries that serve light bar snacks (like nuts or popcorn) or commercially produced foods that are made elsewhere and reheated on-site (like soft pretzels). Instead, the partnership will have to be more in-depth and according to the FAQ it’s for breweries “that want to change their business model to re-open and operate as a restaurant.” Specifics of exactly what that means for breweries to operate seems to be more undetermined but breweries such as this one in Grand Junction or Left Hand in Longmont are preparing to open under these new orders. We’ll update you as we get more information, but keep an eye on your favorite local brewery to see if they begin to operate under these new guidelines. For more specific info on your county go here.
