Hi guys! I went into the mall planing on picking up two things and stay for an hour but ended up getting nothing and spending three hours. This is what happened when you go with a 7-week old who's temperament cannot be predicted lol! On the plus side, I ended up meeting two mommies and babies and we really hit it off. Who knew you could make friends in the mall once you have a baby?

Anyway, I wanted to do my makeup this morning and went for my classic brown smokey eyes. I used two of my trustee Nars duo's Pandora and Cordura. They key to good smokey eyes is to really pack the black near your lashline and tightline using a black kohl pencil. Here I used one by Lise Watier but you can use any soft black liner. And of course, no smokey eye is complete with nude lips; I used my palest one, Myth by MAC.
