<p>Soo, long time no post. I have been a slacker lately and I have been working quite a few doubles (16 hour shifts) in the past month or so.</p><p>Mardi Gras came and went. I had to work Mardi Gras Day. It was soooo busy! Its a holiday here in New Orleans, so everything is closed. I really didn't know it wasn't a national holiday until, like, senior year of high school. Its horrible to admit that, but I think most from around here think that too, lol.</p><p>I rode in a parade in 2006. It was fun, but a lot of work. I didn't realize it was that hard. You really get a good upper body workout.</p><p><img style="width: 317px; height: 233px" src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/46/m_b329708ad0aad953ea0a9d6b84ba6b88.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="233" /></p><p><img style="width: 299px; height: 220px" src="http://b7.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01210/77/08/1210648077_m.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="220" /></p><p>I wanted to do a cool Mardi Gras look with purple, green, and yellow. But it came out a hot mess, so I washed it off and just opted for green and gold for Mardi Gras day. And I wore just purples for Lundi Gras (the Monday before Mardi Gras, and sometimes its better than actual Mardi Gras).</p><p>But anyway, this is a look I wore Saturday night out to the French Quarter. I am standing in a wedding in March and it was her bachelorette party/lingere shower.</p><p>I wanted to do my all time fave look with MAC Juxt and Humid, but decided I do that too often, and opted for purples instead.</p><p><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3299.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p><p> </p><p>FACE<br />-Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 (this replaced Origins Zero Oil Mattifier, and I like the Murad one much better)<br />-MUFE HD Primer No. 5 (blue!) and All Mat Primer (I mix them together)<br />-MUFE Camoflauge Cream Palette No. 1<br />-MAC Stuido Fix Fluid NC15<br />-Silica Powder from Coastal Scents (I read/watched all the things about it giving you some horrible lung disease, but I don't believe it)<br />-MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Blonde Degrade (used as blush)<br /><br />EYES<br />-UDPP<br />-MAC Blackground Paint Pot (only on lid)<br />-MAC Parfait Amour e/s (over Blackground)<br />-UD Deluxe Eyeshadow in Zero (outer V and into crease)<br />-UD Deluxe Eyeshadow in Fishnet (used over Parfait Amour to make the purple a little brighter)<br />-MAC Rite of Spring e/s (highlight)<br />-UD 24/7 Liner in Lust w/Fishnet smudged over it (on lower lashline)<br />-Benefit Bad Gal Waterproof Liner in black (waterline)<br />-Dior Diorshow Mascara in black<br />-Anastasia Brow Powder duo in Golden Blonde<br /><br />LIPS<br />-MAC Viva Glam II lipstick<br />-MAC She Loves Candy lipglass (from Hello Kitty)</p><p><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3294.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p><p><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3295.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p><p><img style="width: 240px; height: 320px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3296.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p><p><img style="width: 240px; height: 320px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3297.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p><p><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3298.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p><p>My I don't like paying twelve bucks for a drink face! I would rather buy a MAC eyeshadow! But I still bought those $12 drinks. One of the girls last night recomended a Vanilla Vodka and Coke...it was pretty tasty.</p><p>They must have been real tasty because I heard a lot of stories about stuff I did last night. Apparently I like to take hats off of men and dance around (and I think it was a really expensive cowboy hat I took last night...I was told the owner wasn't very pleased). Also, there was a fire truck going down Burbon St. last night and stopped in front of the place we were at...I apparently talked them into letting us take a picture..I must have grabbed that one to pose with us.</p><p><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i64/jackieg02/blog%20posts/IMG_3302.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p><p>Anyway, it was a fun night! Now, I just have to think of some way to wear my eyeshadow for the wedding. I know I shouldn't do bright and bold.</p><p>The dresses are a light sage green color....Any recs?</p>
