Random makeup stop

I ran into my local CVS when I decided what look I thought I wanted to do. I ended up leaving with the following:

Revlon photo ready airbrush
The L'Oreal magic lumi primer
Revlon Fushia lipstick

I'm a little nervous about the airbrushing part but I love this fuchsia color!

The 54th Annual Grammy's...a look at the red carpet fashion (Part 1)

While I admit, I did not watch the Grammy's, I immediately surfed the net for all the fun photos.

I have always thought Kate Beckinsale was classy, chic & just beautiful...she looked stunning as always.
Kelly Osbourne has done an excellent job on her image, I think. She seems to be growing into quite a lovely lady.


Taylor Swift's dress was absolutely amazing! I love the train & she looked beautiful!


While I love Fergie & rocks that Hot body, I'm just not too keen on this dress...


There was question about being "too blue" but I think Katy Perry looked great!

More of my opinions to come!

eyeliner runneth over...

Like some of you, heartbreak is unfortunately what I get to look forward to this Valentine's Day. Maybe for my next makeup tutorial I will use only waterproof makeup. But, to make it through every day life, & the wonderful work week, I purchased some Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes waterproof eyeliner & some Cargo Better than Waterproof mascara to try out this week.

First impression, the eyeliner is amazing! Super soft & glides right on. I really like the Cargo mascara brush too :)
