Three, two, one…CHEEESE!
LOL! I’m pretty sure the trucker who was stuck next to us on Highway 37 in bumper-to-bumper traffic thought I was a weirdo, but whatevs.
I took these last night as El Hub and I were on our way to dinner in Napa for our anniversary.
I literally only had, from start to finish, about 5 minutes to do my makeup before we left the house, so I blazed through this look figuring I’d be able to make any adjustments and fixes in the car on the way to the restaurant.
Of course, me being me, aka “always in a hurry and five minutes late,” I forgot my makeup bag at home.
Doh!
Aaaand, I didn’t realize until after I looked closely at these pics that my brows were a little wackadoo, haha!
Oh, well.
Wish I could say that my makeup always turns out perfectly, but that’s so not the case, especially when I’m rushing.
I did finally get to break in Chanel New Moon, though, which I’m happy about. I patted it on bare lids (didn’t even have time to put down primer), and then smudged MAC Teddy liner on my lash lines.
That’s Chanel Malice on my cheeks and NARS Giza gloss, with MAC Gingerroot Cremestick Liner, on my lips.
Gingerroot is discontinued, but I love it so, so much… I only bust it out for special occasions.

New Moon keeps haunting me. I left it behind the last time I was at the Chanel counter (picked up Mirage instead) and I definitely regret it. Such a stunning shade!

July 9th, 2014 at 4:17 amSuch a fresh look! Mr. M prefers this kind of makeup on me for dates anyway (though I rarely oblige, haha). Is your husband the same?

July 9th, 2014 at 6:33 amI hope you guys had a great time. And you look totally fab so forgetting your makeup bag just gave you one less thing to tote around. 🙂
PS You’re killing me with the Malice. It’s all I could think of while buffing on my NARS today. I already felt like a traitor!

July 9th, 2014 at 11:02 amYou look beautiful! I think some of my best looks were when I only had 5 minutes to do my makeup. It keeps things natural and you end up enhancing what you want/need to enhance! Happy anniversary!
