This is my last week just relaxing at home...back to grad school next week. I've been loving my three weeks off. It's much more fun to blog than write a thesis. I think this ecard says it all...
This past Saturday I hit up Northpark with a couple of awesome gals. Lisa moved here a few months ago from PA/NYC, and thank goodness she did! She's TOO much fun. We met through a mommy's group and instantly clicked. We have a fab time hanging out every week! Plus, our sons are both complete lady killers. This is her trying on hats in Loft...
Lisa is hiding her "disco ball" eyelids underneath this pompom hat...post Bobbi Brown counter.
If you haven't checked out Lisa's blog, twitter, pinterest, something, you're way behind. She's even given me a full tutorial on how to use it #what? few twitter pointers lately and I'm actually "tweeting" now to the 42 people masses. You should follow me, so I can follow you, and then we're all winners. YAY!
Emily is another sweet venting buddy friend and she cracks me up. Seriously. I met her through her hubby a few months back and we're neighbors too! I think I knew we'd be great friends from her bachelorette party. She had me at three rum and diets and an enthusiastic "I'll cut that b*tch!" on the corner of 7th and Main. Aww. :) I know we'll be friends 'till the end.
Em hard at work. (She'll cut you.)
Back to the mall...so I haven't been to a mall on a weekend in oh, 15 months. The mall is somewhere I take my toddler on a weekday morning so we can stroll around in his stroller, sans crowds. Holy shoppers...Saturdays are crazy! Nordstrom was off the hook! We hit up the Bobbi Brown counter, and while we're looking at mascara, the girl offers to glam up my eyes with some mascara, gel liner, shadow, and about 32 things for dark eye circles. Yesss! Okay maybe not 32, but this chick made my eyes look more alive than they have in 18 sleepless months.
the AWESOME concealer kit (a cream and powder) and
the no smudge (waterproof) mascara...LOVE IT ALL
this corrector goes on before the concealer kit...it's AMAZING and totally erases your
dark circles...it's darker than it looks in the pic, and takes just a dab...AWESOME
I was so excited about my little eye glam-out I wanted to throw on a prom dress and hit up a high school gym. This make-up is worth its weight in gold. Seriously. I'm a Bobbi Brown fan for life now...mad props to Lisa for her savvy cosmetic advice! I love this stuff so much I'm heading back to Sephora soon (YES they carry Bobbi Brown now!) and getting the gel eyeliner and a couple shadows.
When I tweeted about how much I'm loving Bobbi Brown's stuff on twitter, she RETWEETED me! Lisa and I were overly excited about this...check it out!
Awesome!!!! So glad Lisa gave me that twitter tutorial last week LOL.
Another new product I'm UBER pumped about are these alpha beta facial glow pads by Dr. Dennis Gross! O M G. Why didn't I see these or hear about these before now!? I haaate how pale my face looks, especially when I bleach my hair glow-in-the-dark blonde. I hate bronzer even more, because it clogs the hell out of my pores. Even when I tan outside I spf 50 my face to death because I'm scared of wrinkles and more freckles. Just use these on your face after it's all nice and clean, and you get an awesome tannish glow for days! Plus they're packed with vitamin d! These wipes are seriously the best thing everrrrrr. Bye bye bronzing powder!
Em was so excited about these wipes she sent this at 10:00 last night lol...
P.S. to Em: Lisa told me today you can order them online or get them at Sephora! WIN!
So, all around the girl Northpark day on Saturday was awesome. We all bought some makeup, we got our smell on at Bath and Body Works, hit up MAC, Loft and had some fun girl convo. We even chowed down some Red Mango after lunch, where the cashier guy was overly enthusiastic about their product, voted "best fro-yo in Dallas". Hilarious. I need more days like that!
Here's to awesome friends and fun times!
