Last Night's Look
Yesterday evening was balls to the wall turquoise for girls night at Steam Restaurant on Greenwich Ave. Dinner was as delicious and exotic as this eye look. While Steam did not have the Southeast Asian curry I miss so much from New York, and still have not really been able to find in Greenwich, it was a super-chill and tasty night. Steam is BYO, and we ordered tons of items to taste, so it was a fantastic mix-and-match smorgasbord.

My eye makeup was inspired by the above photo from Makeup Geek. I used the amazing Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadow in Pegasus.
If you haven't tried Maekup Geek's foiled shadows, you're missing a truly unique product - the finish and texture is unlike anything else.
(Unlike anything else - those words also describe my obsession with blue eyeshadow. Once relegated to obscurity, it's one of Mom in Mascara's staples.)
Cheers in teal!

My skin was smoother than life in a week. So I went back for more. Which is why I look like a dartboard this week. Check with me in a few days.
Sometimes our vain or handsy self gets a grip on our heart. Greed is a nauseating and nasty (yet altogether naturally occasional) vice. But as a wise woman once said, “remember all those women on The Titanic who waved off the dessert cart.”
Jasmine Swann, a self-characterized "clean beauty junkie with a dirty past" has a special meaning of love too. Of course, hers isn't easy either.
Gifts are symbolic and it's in our human DNA to want to share with people we love. Psychologically speaking, gift giving is a deeply natural way of forming bonds.
Don nary a bracelet nor necklace... but enrobe your life in gemstones nonetheless (without the new-agey bull-crud).

beautyblender: I still really love you, but lowercase is soo goop circa 2008.
Forcing another person to do virtually anything is generally indicative of malice. Unless mom is forcing you to eat your veggies. (Also, an appearance by Brandi Glanville.)
The face cream was... well, really and truly, thickly, abundantly black. Strangely black. It was ambiguous in its inexplicably. It was wonderfully luxurious, and inexorably mysterious, but just too expensive for what you're really getting.
