I am going through a romantic break up and your journey has definitely put things in perspective. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

I received nars day dream today and intended to give it to my daughter for her birthday or Christmas. I think it is too light for her NC 44/45 skintone. It will probably go back to sephora. I also received mac's stylish me blush but it is essentially the same as nars Taos, which I already have. My daughter will probably get stylish me instead. Or I will exchange for exhibit a, which she wants, or one of the blushes Ms TT recommended up thread. I have the nars cream blush in cactus flower and I love it. It lasts for most of the work day on my combo/oily skin. But, I just returned nars cream blush in Constantople because it barely showed up and didn't last more than 2-3 hours.

Having said all of that re re nars cream blush, I did buy enchanted from sephora. I couldn't pass up that deal.

Thanks Meka. Loss is loss---it just comes in many forms. I'm very sorry about your breakup. There seems to be a lot of it going around. Stay busy and keep
looking forward. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Hi ladies, Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Congratulations Medgal. Continue to fight the good fight. Thank you everyone for the compliments about my blog. Still trying to keep it fresh and relevant. Last but not least I am home enjoying my lil two month old boy. I am over the moon. My big boy got a lil brother. I hope to speak to you all soon. Big Hugs

So happy for you---sounds like you're having a wonderful time with your bundle of joy! That's so special.
So, ummmm, I am wearing a struggle face today (and my hair is piled on top of my head in a topknot - yes, with a scrunchie): FACE: Revlon Colorstay Whipped, Caramel It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye concealer, Deep Silica powder to set concealer MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder, NW 43 to set face EYES: Jordana brow powder, Brunette Maybelline One on One mascara, very black LIPS: MAC Vino lipliner, generously applied to lips WnW Megalast ipstick, 917, Cinnamon Spice and the mail man brought me candy, a dude in another department waited for me tro cross the street and walk in the building with him (he wanted to ask me to go to Disneyland with some tickets he won, too bad I am a premium passholder - he's been sniffing for ages), and the stalking by the secutiry guard (seriously, I may have to speak to someone about his behavior) continues. I am trying to decide what to make of it. I must be putting the wrong vibe out in the world.

Wrong vibe??? I strongly beg to differ!!! You're doing something right and these 'fans of Sage' obviously like what they see! Love the look that you put together--
simple, yet striking!

Yay!! So glad Medgal is alive for me to have 'met' her!!!! Congratulations on 11 years!
PGD glad you're enjoying time with baby boy. You're really lucky.
My skin has been a disaster of peeling dryness the last two weeks, but I am finally seeing a light at the end. My peeling has been so bad that I've been trying to avoid foundation so the flakes were less evident. I used the Clarisonic every night and Boscia Konjac sponge every morning. A variety of heavier moisturizers at night in an attempt to make a difference. The last two days I even ended up using a moisturizing sunscreen rather than my usual mattifying versions. My typical foundations were unwearable so I've been trying samples of moisturizing formulas. I have felt ugly and ashamed. Having a job where people are judging your face and makeup (co-workers to customers) makes you really self-conscious. Yesterday I wore MUFE Face & Body #18 which provides very little coverage, but doesn't cling to dry patches much. Extremely watery formula. Today I'm wearing Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme. It's working for today. Don't know if I'd buy it.
I messed up on my eye shadow today so had to wipe off my exaggerated dark crease color and nab something way toned down. I'm going to work yet had dark vampy plum coming up way too high on my crease. Whoopsy...
FACE
Too Faced Primed and Poreless primer
Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme Foundation – Toffee Bronze (perfect match for forehead)
YSL Touche Eclat 4.5 (trying a Sephora sample and this is too light + doesn’t cover)
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer – Biscuit (b/c I don’t know what was going on w/ the Touche Eclat)
Ben Nye Banana powder to set concealer
NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder
NARS Lovejoy blush
a spritz of Skindinavia setting spray
EYES
Groundwork p/p
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour – Plum (lids into crease; lower lashline)
Urban Decay – Buck (upper crease/transition)
Urban Decay – Naked (highlight)
Laura Mercier Faux lash mascara
Spiked brow pencil
LIPS
Jack Black balm – Ginger & Grapefruit
MUFE Aqua Rouge – Rosewood #2
I brought my sexy back with this outfit. It's kind of a bodycon dress w/o being too scandalous. I wore black pantyhose w/ a seam down the back because, well, I found them when I was looking for regular pantyhose and got a little excited.

No problem Honybr!!!
Ladies forgive me for I have sinned. I ordered the Tom Ford holiday eyeshadow palette, a blush and a lipstick.
my cart and removed one at the last minute. I think I must need inpatient treatment!
Well, technically, you haven't started the official low-buy, right? But you do need a slap on the hand. I'm not saying I didn't order anything, but...I had to do it. I have another order in my cart now. Trying to decide about a lipgloss.
