My daughter just ran in here smelling of l'origan.... apparently, my four year old decided to douse herself in Airspun powder... and strangly, the smell suits her in a strange way...
So.. if you read the Comments you Get thread you'll know that I had a fabulous comment by a four year old little girl a few days ago. Since then I've received my Retro Makeup book, and treated myself today as a me day. With minimal interruption from the Monkey, I've shaped my eyebrows, colored...
I smiled and told her, "No, sweetie. I'm not a queen." She replied with "Oh.. You look like a queen." She smiled really big and went off to play.
I've been preening about it since. If there was anything to boost my motivation and pull me out of the funk I've been in for months, it was that...
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Classic Ivory #2
Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss Mineral Foundation in Frisky Abyssinian
ELF Clear Mascara (to tame my brows)
Meow Cosmetics Brow Beater in Black
Meow Cosmetics VIP Blush in Dame (as eyeshadow and blush)
Prestige Liquid Eyeliner in Black/Brown...
Thanks to this thread I've discovered The Perfumed Court.. I see much money being spent there in the near future. I love that they have collections from various decades...
Okay.. I know I just posted but I have to tell y'all what just happened. When picking my daughter at daycare, one of the little girls in her class came up to me and asked me quietly, "Are you a queen?" Forget day, that made my week!
I REALLY want to try pan-stik/pan-cake... but with me being so pale I worry about finding a proper shade.
A good match for my skin is Revlon's ColorStay in Ivory (110) though it's a tad light itself... Amber Rose Pan-Cake seems to be the lightest, but still looks ridiculously dark for me...
I'm in the process of trying out perfumes for my own signature scent. I used to wear #5, but my skin chemistry has changed and it smells wrong to me now. I've been wearing Shalimar the past few days, and I love the dry down, however, the initial application leaves something to be desired...
That's adorable, fortworthgal. I'm looking for something cute to put my cold cream in myself... I'm actually looking to steal the extra bedroom for my "dressing room" but I think a "new" cold cream jar might be a good first step. :-P
I'm on the search for pan-cake/pan-stik in a color that would work for me, but in the mean time I bought some Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in an effort to find a HG matte foundation...sadly I think there is gluten in it, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't make me ill.
Also...
Finally bought Retro Makeup by Lauren Rennells. It should be here by Friday. I'm impatient though and have been devouring the Sneek Peeks at her website since last night...
Since I haven't been wearing makeup for a while, I figured it might give me a swift kick in the pants in the motivation...
I committed a dreadful faux pas today. I went to the clinic in my jammies. I felt wretched about it, but I have strep throat and will use that as my excuse. On a normal day, I'd like to think I would have never walked out of the house like I did today.
