New eyeshadow

I got my Coastal Scents eyeshadow's yesterday.  I used them today.  The pigment is pretty good for $0.28 per eyeshadow. I have zero complaints.  I use MAC primer so my eyeshadow will normally last all day. Hopefully this one does too.

I really love all the options I have now. I used the mirage palette this morning. Tomorrow the warm and with 176 to choose from I am completely satisfied.

Coastal Scent Mirage Palette gets about an 8 from me. They are not as great as MAC eyeshadow's, but for the price and what you get they are well pigmented with A LOT of options.

I did my makeup today.  My hair was done from the salon, so I decided what the hell...why not.  I really do want to do my makeup and hair more often.  I am definitely a very causal person. Jeans and sneakers are just so comfortable. I've always wanted to be the type of woman that gets up in the morning and looks like a professional stylist has been to her house at 5am.  Soon I will be a casual version of that. :)

I used to only do my hair and makeup when I went out, but since I don't go out much anymore I just never ended up wearing makeup at all.

Over that last few months I have started doing my hair before work and I really love it. Now I am taking the next step and doing my make up.  I was wearing eyeliner and mascara and that's about it. I think I am going to start doing eyeshadow too. I never wear foundation. Most of the time just a light powder to take away the shiny.

I guess at age 30 I am trying to reinvent myself. Not a huge change, but just enough. Today is start of new Jackie that wears makeup.

Happy Saint Patty's Day

 I made Beef Wellington last night with a side of herb and butter rice. It came out pretty good.  I didn't use the cut of meat you were supposed to, but really it's all about the pastry anyway. I was tasty and Eric and I loved it. I packed a to go box for him so he can have it tonight again for dinner.  Then I realized I don't have anything to eat for dinner tonight. PB & J it is while Eric has left over Beef Wellington.


I got the horrible news that my laptop has been delayed until 3/29/11.  Seriously?!? It's already been over a month Dell! Ugh. I kinda want to cancel the order, but hell if I buy a new laptop who knows how long i'll have to wait for it.

 Today is St. Patty's day. I am Italian and probably part Irish, but I am Italian at heart. I am however dating a McCoy which in the future will be my last name. I decided being a future McCoy means I should get all dolled up. I did my hair curly and even wore green eye shadow. I wish you could see it better in the pictures.

I sent my McCoy an IM this morning and of course he isn't wearing green. I'm obviously better at being Irish than he is.

Yay....I just made plans to go to the hockey game with some of the HR chics from work. I'm excited. I never get to hang out with girls.

Hmmmm...Yesterday I bought a bunch of cute eye shadows from Coastal Scents.

Mirage Palette

Warm Palette

It was like $50 for 176 eye shadows! They are about a dime size which is plenty to play with and lots of variety.

Then I went a bit crazy at E.L.F. $40 at E.L.F is A LOT! Everything is like $1-$3. Today I have to try and resist buying a bunch of crap from Folica.
