Lippie: Lancome's Lilac Flash lipstick
Eyeshadow: Just a wash of MAC's Rite of Spring shadow
Current makeup dilemma: My skin has recently done a 180...and has become dry. It appears to be sucking the nutrients out of my makeup. My primer is failing and I have caking issues. I am in a tizzy.
Drink: Coffee with Vanilla Nut Creamer. Coffeemate has discontinued my beloved Blueberry Creamer.
Current lemmings: A Wet n Wild Palette, a lilac spring coat, kelly green handbag, a good man, new episodes of Gossip Girl, the new book by Luca Turin and Tbone(I feel like I am the only person not reading it!) and L'Oreal's Skin Genesis Eye Serum.

I am having a bit of a sad makeup day myself... due to too much wine last night! :(
Hence my dry skin this a.m. (which is normally combo oily t-zone) and teeny headache that is lurking...
So I did the bare minimum today (hair & makeup-wise)...
I can't wait to go back to bed.
I feel your pain and hope your day gets better!
