It is not too early to think about gift ideas that are fun to make and have on hand, just in case - it's about 80 days to Christmas!  Here is a nice gift for your friends:

 These glass pieces are from a dollar store and are cemented together.  It's a pretty way to display jewelry and so quick to make - you could also add a doily on the plate for a girly look.  Place in a gift bag and you are set to go!

This little bronzer is a convenient way to give some color to my cheeks.

 Lorac TANtalizer gives a matte finish without being too dark.  I like this handy size - perfect for travel and touch-ups.

 
 I have decided I am done with the leopard look:

I know it is still popular but I am starting to find it dated.
But while looking for my leopard shoes I found these which I so love!

 I think I also bought these in black - the brocade look is so pretty and can be worn casual or dressy.
For me, mules are a great way to change up a look from day to night and are very comfortable ~ currently my favorite style of shoe.

Little GD may be an artist in the making - she drew her favorite pony free-hand on her easel:

I keep a variety of crayons & coloring pencils available all the time.  This is the 'art gallery' in the great room to showcase their work.

 This is short as my head is unhappy - don't know why as the weather has been beautiful here on the mountain.  Of course migraines do not need a reason to torture you!
Be well my dears and "Hello" to my new followers - it is wonderful to meet new people.

I could not resist another palette from the Maybelline The City Mini Palette x Shayla:

 I love these colors!  The mauves look great together and the light gold highlighter is nice for under the brow.

No 7 Stay Perfect Eye Shadow Palette in Smoky - these are such beauties!  8 shadows and a double-ended brush & mirror.  They are very pigmented so you don't have to keep layering - my sensitive eyes are very happy!

 I will probably pick up another!

My sweet grands come this weekend - we are going to make pumpkin raisin bread and I hope time does not go by too fast.
Be well.

I have been on a MAC binge lately and got these gorgeous eye shadows with fall colors:
A Glimmer of Gold

These will be so nice for fall & winter.

Revolution makeup has nice products that are not expensive.

This palette of concealers is smooth & creamy - easy to apply and have various shades from light to dark.  You can use these as concealers and contours - I use disposable foam brushes to apply.
Many times these are on sale so I stock up.

 No7 Airbrush Away Radiance Boosting Primer is a nice light diffusing primer that truly gives a smooth finished look to the face.  I don't normally use primer but this is wonderful and can give a natural look if you did not want to do a full-on face.  It feels soft as silk when applied - I definitely would buy this again.

I must confess I have had this lovely bag for a while and have never used it.  In my defense there were years that I was recouping from brain surgery so switching out purses was not high on my to-do list! 
Chanel Timeless Classic Tote
 From the Cruise 2016 Collection. Black quilted leather Chanel Timeless Classic tote with gold-tone hardware, dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps:

 I truly believe we should use our pretty things - don't save them for some future time!

I love this type of Italian bread.  It is perfect for french toast, sub sandwiches and as the base of a meal such as hot roast beef with gravy.  And the grands are happy to have it with just butter as a quick snack!

When there is a sale on MAC, I am there!
MAC A Medley of Mauves - these are sooooo my colors (so I bought 2)!

MAC Cosmetics Tendertalk Lip Balm ~ the color is so sheer I swiped some on a white napkin (it took 20 shots to get this 1 photo!).  This felt light on my lips and was not sticky or goopy.  You can easily put your favorite color of lip gloss over this - so glad I bought it for under $10.

I have started using Algenist products as there is science behind the brand. And since this item was less than the $70 retail, it was a good value with 2oz of product.
                                               Algenist Optical Illuminating Moisturizer

I use this under the eye and it does give a soft blurring effect - it does not stay this white/pinkish color - it blends nicely and it moisturizes without being shiny.  No fragrance.

Time for a nice pitcher of sangria - so many good fruits now to put in a light red wine:

I enjoy using apples, pears & grapes - whatever is in the kitchen.  You can also use sparkling water if you like fizz.

I love the fall wreath on my mahogany door:

Have you started decorating?  I just love this time of year!
