Beauty to Go

Sorry it's been a while since my last post folks! It's the holiday season AND a presidential transition time so between working my day away for America's fine research universities and getting ready for the holidays I've been neglecting you guys. Sorry!

Today, though, I found something great that some of you moms out there might like. Ive been on a quest lately, a quest that has to do with my somewhat southern roots. There is an unspoken rule in the south that most southern women abide by. The rule is "Never step foot outside without makeup on." :D OK seriously, you don't do it lol. Anyway, because of this, I always have makeup with me. Im definitely not the prissy type and I dont mind if it wears off throughout the day, but I like it if, at some point during the day, I dont look like a hag. Not saying anyone who doesn't wear make-up does look like a hag, I'm just saying *I* look like a freakin lagoon creature in the morning. No one wants to see a lagoon creature.

For quite a while, Ive been trying to find good quality makeup that travels well. I found a great Bobbi Brown palette today that I think will work great! Now granted, it was a bit pricey but I thnk it's going to be worth it in the long run. I bought a cheap make up palette two weeks ago that I thought would work well but no matter how much I put on it looked like there was nothing there. So much for going cheap! No one in the drugstore price range had an all over palette so I had to call in the big dogs. Here's the palette

There's 3 eye shadows, a blush and 3 lip sheers and a giant mirror. Im pretty happy with it and being Bobbi Brown I know it will be good makeup. It rang in at a steep $58 but it should last me a while. I'll let everyone know how it fares when we go to Tunisia next week! Oh and only 5 shopping days left after today!
