Thanks!

Don't try the Fenty brown liner.  It has sparkles in it too.  Of course, I don't mind them   I don't put liner on my upper lid tho.  I think I may add UD's Bourbon liner to my Sephora list.

I better start to get ready for this evening.  The only thing I know what I'm going to wear is my Lancome foundation and Kayali (light) Musk fragrance.

All time fav fragrance!

I have begged DH to take a Fall Foliage cruise along the north east seaboard.  We never have but a couple of days ago he said he would like to take a Fall Foliage cruise   I wanted to clobber him.

@monicakm  I know you're happy about the weather and this "lizard" over here is freezing in these high 60 degree temps 😫

We do like your family and go out afterward when grandaughter has dance recital or band recital.  It's so fun and the grands enjoy.  

Stay happy in your cooler weather!

I have come to your rescue with appropriate lizard clothing.  You should be nice and warm during the winter

Our high today was 90.  Tomorrow, 68

Aren't grandbabies the best!  Our granddaughter is a 16yr old hs jr.  She is the blonde in front,  I haven't seen many of her musical performances due to health reasons.  Last night was my first time seeing her as head of the percussion team.  Like her mom, I don't know of an instrument she can't play or learn to play overnight.

I don't know if you remember her first boyfriend moved to another state last year and then we got the news he had taken his own life   I loved him like my own grandson   He was my grandson's best friend.  Both of the grandkids were in therapy and still in therapy when their uncle ended his own life (sigh).  So they're still in therapy.  Granddaughter is taking some college courses now and my daughter said she wants to be a Christian counselor for kids.  She's always been very driven and focused so at her young age, it wouldn't surprise me if she sticks to her plans.

She looks so much like her dad that I never thought she looked like me but in that bottom photo, I see it!

@monicakm  Your granddaughter is such a beautiful girl!! Thank you for sharing those photos with us- she looks like she's having so much fun 🤗.  Its wonderful that she already knows the career that she wants to do- she'll make an amazing Christian counselor to children! 😊💖

Thank you so much @SportyShorty07.  She has always been true to herself and a leader.  Her brother, not so much but he has his own set of wonderful traits.  He just doesn't have the leadership drive she does.   I'm so thankful that I was able to see her perform.  My daughter and son in law were working the golfcart transport last night so she picked us up at the car and drove us to our seats   It was a bit embarrassing tho.  BTW, I wore *our* Natasha Denona blush topper last night.  Put it over a Makeup by Mario pink blush.  Another neutral eye using the NARS Summer Unrated palette.  First two shadows, from the left, second row.  Brown liner on the bottom waterline with the shimmery gold underneath , 2nd row, 3rd from the left.

@monicakm  Your granddaughter is definitely on the right track with her leadership skills and I bet that your grandson is really great too! That's so nice that you got your daughter and son in law to drive you in the golf cart to your seats.  No need to be embarrassed, think of it as a VIP chauffeur service entrance ✨😉💖. 

    Ooh I used *our* Natasha Denona blush  topper on top of my benefit dandelion blush today and I felt so glam. Your makeup look for last night sounds glam and gorgeous! Such a pretty eye shadow look with the NARS Summer unrated eyeshadow colors you chose along with brown liner and shimmery gold underneath. I bet you topped your eye look off with some great lashes. Love it 🙌💯💖. That NARS eyeshadow palette should earn a spot on your Makeup Hall of Fame pedestal!

Those two kids couldn't be more different if they tried.  T is an 18 yr old in love.  At this point in his life, he works just enough to take his lovely girlfriend on dates.  I don't think he's looking at the future yet.  He will.  He's just not as mature as his sister is.  Example, when they were little tykes, he wanted everyone to do everything for him.  He could do it, but why if someone else would do it for him (his mother blames me for doing everything for him...rut ro.  His sister is a "I CAN DO IT MYSELF" girl from the time she could talk.  And if it took her all day to accomplish something, oh well.  Shades of her mother (my daughter).

"Great lashes".  Of course!  No look is complete without great lashes.  It brings the eyes alive.  Hey, I think I will put the NARS pallet on display.  There hasn't been anything on that stand in a while.  Or, the MAC Tempting Fate palette.
