Looks like you're a Mac lover like me. Love dipdown for eyes and shroom too. I'm also addicted to Mac's "naked lunch" eyeshadow and "high tea" lipstick. By the way - if you ever want to look seriously tan try Xen-tan at nordstroms. It's incredible.
Anywho - gotta love a beautician's advice. Thanks!
Thanks for all the tips! I miss my Matrix steps 1-3. I need to go back to that. It's the best!! Did you get my voicemail about the earrings? Was I too late?
Am I a boy? I dont know what any of this stuff is?
I took notes . . . Thanks :)
You're right about the manic shopping... I'm already one foot out the door, heading to MAC... thanx cuz!
