I think Roasted Chestnut, Aurora & Starless Night might have been LE items.Tell me about it!
Thank you for your recommendations! I am thinking Chocolate Brown and Tan. I will have to look at Roasted Chestnut, Aurora and Starless Night. Thank you!!
I Love your glasses. The color is so much nicer than my boring black ones. I just use them for reading. I have a big head too----not a put down---just a fact!
nice frames! i like that the shape is graphic and bold yet the two tones soften the look at the same time. bet they go really nicely with all the recent bright mac lipsticks! i'm glad you found some frames you feel good about...it makes the search feel worthwhile!
Man Aradhana, we won't even talk about my managers. LOL that's another thread and we need a few round of drinks. the busy season is temporary. I'm not gong to lie, I'll miss the money b/c of the recent tax changes, my check is going to be short. I know I can't quit, I am looking, but not as much as I should. I come home and crash out.
i hear ya on that! and i'm glad to hear it's temporary!
Thanks for the compliment! it took me awhile to realize what you were saying when you said graphic and bold and the tones soften the look. I have so much to learn about fashion, color, and all things like that. LOL
sorry about that! i had a feeling i was talking in flowery 'design-speak' there...i should have listened to the little voice! i didn't mean to be convoluted about it. main point is i like your glasses!
My day has been nice and I'm going out later. Got into it with a friend though, I was actually in tears earlier. He later apologized and said he'd make it up tomorrow. But it's too late, it's not my Bday anymore. ya know? Anyone else feel like that. I can party and go out to eat the whole week before/after, but my Bday is that one day.
i totally know what you mean - the day is special. at the same time, it can be nice to stretch out the celebrations sometimes so you feel super special for a little bit longer you can have a birthday weekend!
that's what i'm planning to do for my bday - LOL. it's just cuz it falls on a monday, and i figured most people won't be able to celebrate with me on a work night. and on top of that, the restaurant i want to go to doesn't even open on mondays.
ANYWAY... I need to go think of a look for tonite... Trying to figure out if I wanna go bold with the eyeshadow or lips.
hope you have a great night! happy birthday!
Oh Prettypackages, I'm not cringing---I'm laughing because I was the same way. My collection started growing, it became unmanageable and putting on makeup was filled with anxiety, when it should have been fun. I don't like digging for things, and everything needs to have a designated spot. When I organized things it was and remains a lot of fun for me.I was not able to come up with an eyeshadow look I liked. I really need to practice my skills, and get a proper setup, my stuff is very unorganized. Medgal would cringe, but she'd have a fun project on her hadns.
I used the UD Oz palette, I know some bloggers love the heavier pigmented shadows, but there is one color in here I love that has horrible fallout. I'll take sheer buildable color over fallout.
I put on heroine lipstick.
I used the new Nars loose, and I looked waaaay to powdery at first. I sprayed myself with the equivalent of Pur MInerals Fix +. Tht helped. Overall, I didn't like it but I think it's more user error. I went on FB and don't think I look any different in thepics than normal.
Thank you!! And he did, we had a good day on Sunday. Although he fussed b/c I didn't get in til 7am. My friends showed me a good tme Saturday night. They brought me a traditional Phillipino bday cake, cupcakes, and cheese n crackers. And you know in a party where folks are drinking everything was devoured. LOL THen we went to breakfast. It was fun, you know how you party with ppl and they aren't always your "real" friends. These ladies have shown me that we are. So it was a very nice surprise.Happy belated Birthday Prettypackages!!! Sorry I didn't do this earlier I've been studying like a mad woman I got my license exam in a bout 2 weeks and I'm freaking out!!! Anyways I hope you had a ton of fun, and I'm sorry to hear bout the fight with your friend, I hope he makes it up to you big time!
So I'm sorry to say that I have not worn any makeup since my last look I have been studying so hard I've barely had a chance to fix my hair let alone makeup, anyways I'll lurk from time to time but for the next few days I am going to be MIA. Will let you guys know how it goes on my test when I take it.
I was talking about the theodora palette. It was a color that looked like mulch. I'm searching out ways to organize my stuff now. I hadn't thought of it before now, but what you described is spot on.Oh Prettypackages, I'm not cringing---I'm laughing because I was the same way.

Are you referring to the dark blue in the palette? I didn't experience fall-out but what I thought was a small amount of E/S on the brush was really a lot. I didn't want it so dark and ended up toning it down with a lighter E/S. The second eye was better because I learned from that first blunder. As for the NARS powder, I dip, tap & apply in small circular buffing motions---and a little goes a long way.
I hope you had a good time last night!!!!
Thinking ahead.. Anyone know what the March theme will be?
I do too. I got a jump on it today, and it makes me realize I don't wear green enough.I hope there'll be a lot of GREEN for St Patricks Day! I need to dig into my stash of pigments and other green eye shadow that I love, but just don't give the the front row often enough!
