I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! I thought I'd share what my little girl did for me.
My daughter told me to be ready at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, but she refused tell me what we were doing---just that I would want to look "nice." I don't have my usual clothing options because I can't lift my arm eliminating anything pullover, plus I'm still confined to a immobilizing sling that is bulky & imposing , going across my chest and around my waist. So, I wore a white oversized boyfriend shirt w/a pale yellow maxi pencil skirt, black wedge sandals, hair in a side pony tail (ala hubs) w/a yellow scarf, a statement necklace & earrings and my statement black sling (LOL). So, we went to the grounds of where she works (a massive facility) which is < 5mins from my house. A valet parked her car and we boarded a shuttle that drove us another three minutes to our final destination. After getting off the shuttle she told me where we were---at the mansion of actor Will Smith's mother for a brunch called 'Dining with Divas'. What a beautiful property and amazing surprise. Will Smith was there to present an award, 'The Diamond Diva Award' to actress/singer Tisha Campbell-Martin. What a friggin incredible day! It was family friendly, brunch was lovely, tons of entertainment and vendors selling ladies shoes, and bags & jewelry. Tisha sang---OMG what an incredible voice! Jada & the kids weren't there but Jada's mother was there and several other celebrity mothers who strutted their stuff in a little fashion show. My daughter knocked this one out of the park. So amazing!!!!! The best thing of all is that the proceeds of the event go to benefit underprivileged single mothers. What an incredible surprise on a really beautiful day. I think I'll keep her!!!

As I read this story, and lamented on how wonderful your daughter is, I couldn't help but be reminded that great kids come from great mothers! How proud you must be of the work you have done and the lovely woman she's become! She's like a masterpiece and you were/are the artist! It says so much about the person you are to raise such a fabulous human!! God Bless you both... and your whole family!I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!

Awww---what a sweet thing to say Pix. Thank you so much!!!
Can I tell you how attentive she was and how dependent I felt
Talk about feeling like an old lady. But that's ok---I started PT today and I'm soooo looking forward to having my right arm back!!! The things we take for granted
right????
I think Hubs should get a custom halo--He has taken off work for the past 5 weeks and counting, doing absolutely everything for me & our dog
when he's at his best---a real gift, I think he has. I am blessed.

Tisha's album "Tisha" from back in the 90s was actually the first CD I ever bought after seeing her perform on Showtime at The Apollo. lol

Megal, what a wonderful day!!!
Aradhana, I'm definitely down for blue all week. I skipped Monday b/c I am sick.
Love the looks ladies! Pixie, very pretty, I'm getting those blue eye products (or something in my stash) to copy that look.
I wish I took a picture, but this is one of the few times where I LOVED my makeup. I think I'm finally getting good with eyeshadow.
So I wore one of the shop/cook quads. the one with the blue in it.
eyes: shop/cook quad. yellow on the inner lid, and the blue in the corner and outer 3rd of my lid and crease, and the gray in my inner crease. my transition color was texture or cork. Ok, I don't remember. LOL
face: Lancome the 24 hour one in suede (I'll update this later, my bag is not with me)
Bobbi brown peach correcter.
MAC prolongwear nc 42 concealer. (I was going to be out all day and wanted this to last)
Marc Jacobs powder in Fawn Cocoa 450 ( I LOVE this powder)
Mac blush SUR
lips: no liner but Flaunting it lipstick/gloss. Later that evening I switched to MAC playtime lipstick. it's getting old, and I'm almost out. I need to find a replacement soon.
I miss using Flaunting it and I'm sad I missed out on purples last week. I was going through my purples and have a lot of nice colors. During the 30 day challenges, I purposely ignored my purples b/c I felt like I wore them to much... Nope... I've been missing out.
I have to say, this was one of my favorite looks. My friend said, why do you always look like you're coming out to model. *flips hair over shoulder* of course dahling! LOL j/k I was flattered, unless he was saying I wear too much makeup. LOL

you know i ended up skipping a day of blue yesterday...i just received hibiscus kiss blush duo and gilty morsel in a swap, and i had to play with my goodies! so yesterday i wore hibiscus kiss, the athma quad from mickey contractor, and a combo of plum liner with mocha lipstick. i think i may have also been wearing riri's lustre drops. it was a nice summery look for a warm sunny day.
today i tried to get back into the blue thing with not much luck...i made a great big mess on my eyes with gilty morsel, sex and the oyster, divine decadence and deep cravings. it was yucky. does anybody have gilty morsel? how do you make it work?
i'm also curious whether people tend to use hibiscus kiss as blush and contour, or what? yesterday i kinda just threw both shades over one another, and today i tried the contour thing. yesterday looked nicer i thought, but i think i might just be having a bad day or getting distracted by the mess i made on my eyelids....
i love purples too...and i find they are almost like neutrals for me - always look flattering! exception might be pale lavender, which needs a little tempering.
interesting that you noted your love for the marc jacobs powder. so far i have tried the eye pencil (in black) and one of the nail polishes and was quite impressed. i'm curious to try the eyeshadows but couldn't decide which one. i was drawn to the neutral brown palette, but don't i have enough brown/beige shadows already?
