After a great Friday night out with friends, “Slumdog Millionaire”, a near-encounter with an additional piercing, and time spent with good friends this weekend…I woke up this morning feeling slightly better than I have in a while.  The hole in my chest has stopped panging, and now it’s just a dull constant ache.
Even though I stayed up late enough for the Honeymooners to come on the rerun channel, sleep seems to have become of little consequence these days.  The body is a very interesting machine indeed.
This morning, NY1 said it was going to be 60 degrees.  Translation: time to bust out a skirt!  I’m wearing tights, a black pencil skirt and a simple tank.  So I opted for an understated eye with a bright red lip:

For the face, I used:

• Darphin Arovita C Cream
• a new MAC Prep + Prime product that is UNBELIEVABLE .
• MAC Face & Body Foundation in N2
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Petticoat – just on the cheeks for that all-over flush.  It really makes it look like you’re just glowing from the inside out.  (which is what I need to look like right about now)

For the eyes:

• MAC Paint Pots in Rubenesque as a base all over the lid to provide some adhesion
• MAC PRO Reflect Gold patted on top
• MAC Liquidlast Liner in Point Black on top and bottom

For the lips:

• MAC Prep + Prime Lip: applied all around the lips and also just outside the lipline.  An artist taught me this trick – it prevents the lipstick from bleeding
• MAC Cremestick Liner in Cranapple
• MAC Lipstick in Ladybug:  it’s just a really nice, sheer, buildable color.  A bright orange red, with a satin finish.  Even though it’s called a Lustre lipstick, it’s not shimmery.
