Bare Essentials

I have always been a MAC make-up girl.

This weekend I had an appointment to get my make-up at MAC for the wedding D and I went to.

Sometimes a girl just doesn't wanna do her own makeup!

Long story short - I make the appointment too late in the day (oops) and MAC couldn't take me any earlier.

I was already at the mall so I decided to go over to "Bare Essentials" and have them to my make-up.

The makeup looks so smooth and flawless.

The color matches my skin perfectly and the warmth looks so natural.

and it lasts all day without my face feeling oily or gross.

Why has it taken me this long to try it?!

I seriously recommend you stop at the next Bare Essentials you see and ask them to show you

some products.

Bare Essentials just makes me Happy :)

Girls Night at Bloomies

Last night my mom picked me up from work and

we met my cousin at Bloomingdale's in the Beverly Center (she works in sunglasses).

Chanel was having an event teaching make-up techniques 

and they also had an amazing gift-with-purchase.

Have you ever gotten your make-up done and felt like a clown?

Like you aren't sure how they got the job as a make-up artist?

Well... it happened last night. Thick (not straight / uneven) purple liquid eye liner

 with pink eye shadows and a brick orange lip.

Not to worry - another artist at the counter saw my unhappy and confused face.

Justin to the rescue!

Removed the lipstick and replaced it with a soft neutral.

blended the eye liner and made it a softer and smokier but still subtle eye.

Once we were all done (and looking Gorg.) we shopped a bit and headed to dinner.

It was a perfect way to spend my Thursday night.

and i'm obsessed with my new Chanel eye shadow kit <3

I fell in love with the brand AQUA last night.. (below) Cashmere sweater <3 SO comfy for the rainy Friday.

 Sweater - AQUA

On a happier note:

Holiday Season = Gift Sets!!!

What girl doesn't like a nice new set of lip gloss, nailpolish, eyeshadow, or brushes?

Here are a few from Sephora:

TIP: always ask for samples!

Not only is it the best way to try new products but...

They make the perfect stocking stuffers or keep them and use them for travel!!!
