This morning came very early, especially since I stayed up way too late last night.
Can you say 4 hours of sleep? Luckily for me, I don't need a lot of sleep, but on a consistent basis I need a bit more than 4 hours.
I basically threw some clothes on, used a cut piece of MAC wipes (cleansing towelettes $15 for 45) to carefully freshen my eye makeup -- I removed a bit of smudge, but not the eye makeup, and put on lipstick.
In less than 5 minutes I had a pick-me-up, and I was ready to go to take my youngest to school.
I took a couple of pictures, but I'm not sure I'm going to share them. I looked good, but not the way I looked later in the day. Let's keep the illusions, shall we!
Here's the lippie I chose:
NYX Gold Pink
But I want to report on how well the MAC graphblack and earthline holds up after a long night and very little sleep. Nothing migrated into my eye, despite the fact that I apply the graphblack to the waterline.
For most people, I would have looked as if I had done my complete makeup, not that I had slept in it.
I think that is a pretty good recommendation, don't you!
I was talking with the MAC SA last week who did my makeover, and she told me that these pencils are waterproof, which might be why they work so well. But there is nothing on the pencils to indicate they are.
I bought these colors because first, I loved the way they looked on another SA the week before, and when she put them on me, I loved the way they looked on me too.
Meantime, on other nights and mornings, the skin around my eyes has been irritated from whatever makeup I didn't remove, either from the mascara, pencils, or minerals -- or all of it) and I had to take off the complete eye makeup, cleanse and re-moisturize before I could head out the door -- and sometimes it took a couple of days for the redness of my skin to recover.
Not today. I was good to go. And I did.
I had a great day, how about you? This was just the beginning.
