another face of the day + mom's birthday present from dad (so cute!)

Ugh, I have a rotten cold right now, and it is NOT FUN!! *sniff, sniff* -- literally!


Yes, it's another face of the day post, just because they're simple enough to do on workdays! ;)  I guess you could call this a label whore face of the day, because I used a lot of high-end brands today.  Ack!

Face: NARS Sheer Glow foundation (Mont Blanc - a perfect match!), MAC MSF Natural, YSL Touche Eclat (under eyes) YSL Poudre Soleil in Light Sun, Givenchy Le Prisme Blush 25 In Vogue Orange (like MAC's Ripe Peach but 10x better, in my opinion!) 


Eyes: MAC Shroom e/s (all over lid), Shu Uemura ME 450 e/s (a metallic olive green; in crease, outer V), Stila Topaz eye kajal (inner corners), L'Oreal Hip Cream Liner in Teal (upper lashline), MUFE Aqua Eyes 18L (lower lashline/waterline), MAC Star Violet e/s (lower lashline), YSL Mascara Singulier


Lips:  YSL Rouge Pur lipstick in 148 Tea Rose

later, with MAC Creme d'Nude lipstick

I also used Evian Facial Mist for the first time today, to set my foundation.  It feels so refreshing and really let the foundation sink into my skin nicely.  I highly recommend it!

And before I go, I wanted to share a photo Dad sent me the other day.  He surprised Mom with a super-sweet early birthday present (it was also the 40th anniversary of their first date!) -- a pink, cherry-embellished bag by Juicy Couture!  Nice work, Dadd-o!! ;)

Her actual birthday is April 23rd -- happy early birthday, Mama! 

Don't you just love moms and dads sometimes?? haha  I mean, I love mine alll the time, of course (yes, Mom, I know you read my blog...), but sometimes they are just extra cute. ;)

Bye lovelies!
