Sunday evening was the night of our highly anticipated after hours B.E. party. If you aren't hip to mineral makeup yet check out Bare Escentuals here. I, unfortunately, did not make it due to mommy obligations. Not cool, but it happens.

Jennifer also jumped on the cosmetics case and started her own mineral journey. For those of you that don't know, Jennifer has some of the most beautiful skin I have ever seen and really doesn't need the makeup, but we are very glad to have her aboard. Now at least she will know what we are talking about when we name all those crazy eyeshadows.
Speaking of shadows, I have a theory about B.E. eye makeup. It goes something like this: If you can make a sentence or phrase (that makes relative sense) out of the names of two or three shadows, it will probably be a good combo (within reason people). For example you will see above (kind of) the "Queen Phyllis-Noble-Bubbly" combo. And I would imagine her bubbly is rather noble-she is a queen after all.

Here's what you do: Buff a base with "Queen Phyllis" from lid to eyebrow. Sweep 'Noble' into the crease and blend 'Bubbly' onto the lid. Voila! I did not include the eyeliner in the theory, but here I am wearing 'Fashionista' and two coats of soft black mascara.

Please ignore the wrinkles and what needs to be tweezed.
