We Got Our Faces "Beat" by MAC

By -

(In the car, on the way to the mall to get my free make-over. I was taking out my pin curls that I set in place the night before. I look so much like my Mom in these shots :-)



Last Sunday my oldest took me to the mall to get my face "beat" (that's what they say) by MAC. She was asked to participate in a free make-over and to bring someone with her, so she chose moi. It was cool. I'm not into makeup that makes me feel like I have on makeup. It has to be light enough for me to not even notice and if I have to scratch my eye or itch my face I don't want to have to worry about globs of stuff getting caught up under my nails. For special occasions I don't mind but still I don't want to feel it and last Sunday, I felt it. 



What I'm referring to is the foundation. The foundation that they used was a liquid foundation which never agrees with me. It's too heavy and feels artificial. When I used to sell Mary Kay I used to have a hard time trying to convince ladies to buy the liquid foundation and then I had to wear it because I was selling it. It was a lose, lose for me. 
(I use Bare Minerals powder foundation which I absolutely love for a couple of reasons. One, it's natural and two it's lite weight. It's a winner for me.) 

I did buy the liquid eyeliner because I liked how rich it looked when applied however, I need to watch a few tutorials to apply it myself because it keeps getting into my eyes, lol. Or, I just need to ask my daughter because she's become a pro at makeup now. 
(Overall, I think they did a nice job on us both. What do you think?) 

learned that plum is the new color for this fall season. I didn't mind because I like dark colors on my lips. I also liked the gold on my eyelids and I loved the way they filled in my eyebrows. I watched my daughter do this for sometime now but, I always turned my nose up at it. Go figure, when it was done to me, I loved it. It definitely is a new day. 

 Are you a MAC user? If not what do you use and why?

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
