Makeup Night

Last night I went to the *new* Bobbi Brown counter at the mall (which I am sooo excited is finally here!) and had a friend of mine do my makeup. I loved the whole experience. I don't usually do the "pampering" kinds of things, but this was a blast! I was going for the whole dramatic eye-muted lip kind of a thing and I think she did a fantastic job:

Eyes open

Eyes closed

My mom thinks that it was a little dark, more for evening rather than wedding. I guess my only concern is if we get pictures where my eyes are closed, it might be a little too dark for that. I wish someone would do my makeup everyday!! I am not very good at it, and I wish I could do things like this.

I couldn't get anything last night, but perhaps in a couple of weeks I can afford to go back and get some things - she used a great brightener under my eyes (yay for never getting 8 hours) and a nice concealor also.

After that, we grabbed something to eat and shopped a little bit. Kelly took me over to Joann's so I could grab a hot glue gun for my home decorating project.

Oh, I forgot, before we went to the mall, I ran home and spraypainted the ugly lamps silver (I forgot to take a before pic, but trust me when I say U-G-L-Y!). The spraypainting went very quick and dried in minutes. Then I used the blue cording that I bought at Joann's on Monday to wrap around the ceramic center part. I got 14 yards, thinking it would be plenty, but it didn't even cover one full lamp. So I guess this will be the third day in a row I am visiting Joanns.

I was working on my lamp over at my friend Tracy's house, she also had some crafty things to do - homework for one of her classes! And we watched Superstar. If you have not seen this movie - do it! It is a must for when you need a little pick-me-up.

Enjoy it!!
