Haul: Make Up For Ever, Red Cherry, NYX

Here are a few items I purchased within the last few weeks.

I went to Make Up For Ever Professional in the city yesterday, which was quite empty to my surprise.  I forgot to pick up Smokey Lash Mascara and a lipstick palette.  I also need to go back to pick up some eyeshadows & the HD blush.

This is what I bought from there:
HD Microfinishing Powder – Original Price $30
HD Invisible Cover Foundation #173 & #177 – Original Price $40
HD Concealer #355, #360, #345 – Original Price $28
All Mat  Primer – Original Price $45
Camouflage Concealer Palette #4 & #5 – Original Price $36

These are the Red Cherry Lashes I purchased from IHeartRedCherry.  They were $1.70 when they had their sale.  100% Human Hair & they are SO SO LIGHT! I love them.  I still Love my NYX Lashes though.

This is what I got from NYX
Jumbo E/S Pencils in the following Colors:
#622 Yellow
#618 Purple
#623 Orange
#616 Pacific
#607 Horse Raddish
#604 Milk
Orange Cream Blush – Great for Women of Color.

I also picked up this eyebrow grooming set for $9.50 from Duane Reade
It comes with a scissor, eyebrow shaver/brow comb (I will NEVER use), a brow brush.

My Nails for the last few days…

Essie Mint Candy Apple & Tart Deco on the Ring Finger

I went to Dashing Diva & got my toes painted in China Glaze For Audrey.

I hope you all had a great weekend .:smiles:.

All Black Everything: Which Outfit? Help Me Decide…

One of my best friends (we’ve been friends since elementary school) is celebrating her birthday exactly one week from today, which is Saturday, March 27, 2010.   The party is going to be at an indoor rooftop spot; pretty cool & sexy, and the dress code is all black.  All black is usually easy for me because that’s mostly what I have dress-wise, and I love to wear black.

I have two outfits (a dress or jumpsuit) which are kind of similar in design that I want to wear, but I am not exactly sure which one I should wear next Saturday.  That’s where you guys come in…

Which outfit do you think I should wear? 

***Pics aren’t too great. It’s hard taking them by yourself. lol

Here’s the jumpsuit….
