It looked like MAC was giving something away. The store upstairs appeared to be the same. I guess the economy has not impacted the money we spend on MAC. I know in Maryland, WOC spend a lot of money at the MAC counters. |

She even told me that I can totally rocked Girl About Town with a deep plum or berry lipliner. I was shocked because I'm a NW47 and I thought that was a too bright lippie for me. Sorry for the long post but I just had to say something... |

Oh how I wish we could take better care of ourselves and realize makeup is optimal on clear healthy skin, and using makeup means you have to do double duty on skincare!!! |

My problem is hormonal and it was made worse by the IUD that my gyno. suggested. I'm on hormone therapy right now and I hope it gets better. I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that sometimes we are too quick to assume that people are dirty, lazy, ignorant about skin care when really they have a medical condition. This doesn't just apply to skin but many things. Please don't think I'm attacking you because Im not. In the past I too assumed all sorts of things about people with thin hair, bad teeth, overplucked eyebrows etc and I feel bad now and ask myself how many times was I wrong ? |

I think as long as there is a proper balance between your outfit, hair, and the makeup ... supposed "night only" looks can be worn during the day. Hell, if I could, I would rock black smokey eyes all the time but I don't do my makeup every day.
