It's Makeup Time!

I am a makeup whore! I love makeup, the smell and texture of it! I love the packaging and the crispness of a new compact! I will also admit, while i have bought and thrown away more makeup than any gal could need in a lifetime, I rarely wear makeup! I love the idea of it, a finished face, the perfect nude lipstick, eyes that pop! In reality, i never look that together! I have good intentions every season to be the lady who leaves her house perfectly made up everyday, even if wearing jeans and a wifebeater, but i'm not her!

I have had relationships with them all, I've gone out With Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Vincent Luongo. Hell, i've even had relationships with the women, Bobbi Brown, Sue DeVitt, Trish McEvoy. I've broken up with all of them!

Today was my day to pick a new mate, and recently I had been seduced by Laura Mercier, I have been trying to avoid meeting up with her, but I lost today, despite my best intentions.

What i've realized is that the minute you walk into a store, you get sucked in. Ever noticed that every makeup artist tells you the following: you have the most perfect shaped lips and eyes, your skin is beautiful, your eyebrows are perfect and your lashes are so long! LIES! They all lie to you! They tell you a foundation looks amazing, but when you point out that every single PORE is showing, they immeadiately wipe it away and say, no that wasn't right for you!

The perfect store would have a makeup artist that walks over to you and honestly tells you, don't use this skin cream, your foundation is a shade too dark, that you really can't pull off smoky eyes!

So for now, i'm believing that Laura Mercier and I will be a perfect couple at least for a few months!

How it is supposed to feel!

After many hours of delays due to weather and a small diversion to the remote runway at Dulles i have made it up to NJ, for a day or two of relaxation prior to the NY Gift Show. Its the kind of summer I miss in Florida, the days are long and lazy, the temp peaks at 80 without a touch of humidity, families stop at Magic Fountain to get a late afternoon ice cream and you can sleep with the windows open! The hint of fall can be felt at night when you take in the cooling air.

I heard it was 95 and humid in Miami yesterday, with Tropical Storm Fay chugging along!

Sorry i'm not in Miami sharing it with you!

Avoid all Stores!

I know, you can't believe your eyes! I'm telling you to avoid the mall, avoid Target, just stay away! It's that time of year, BACK TO SCHOOL. The amount of people in the stores buying supplies and school clothes have made it unbearable to shop!

The other day I stopped into Sports Authority, that was a mistake! First of all, what a disorganized store, a big dark warehouse of a space with virtually no sales help and no discernable floor plan. Next stop, the mall. There is an interesting phenomenon in South Florida, the mall is always full of tourists wheeling HUGE suitcases around. It is almost impossible to walk around without having your foot run over!

Target, need toiletpaper, soap, soda, not this week! Getting in the parking lot is even a feat!

Time to shop online!
