Well it’s that time of year again.…I know I keep bitching about it but I can’t help it! I notice it more the days I work (you know, because staying home and taking care of two kids ain’t work, right??) I spend all this time actually putting on a full face of makeup, powder and then powder again…
I get to work and after I’ve gotten the first model’s makeup done I get a quick glance at myself…. EECCCKKK!! That poor girl (or boy) had to sit there in my chair …

Okay, I want the upper light green one! Elke

I divided up the posts because there are quite a few photos here! I feel like these pictures are pretty accurate and true-to-life, so hopefully these will help some of you who can’t get to the store yourself.

The Beautynomist brings to us Fashion Week from the Phillippine’s!
