It's a five day cruise and classes are available to take on the cruise, at a reduced rate. I will be attending two classes by Lauren Nicely . I normally take at least a couple makeup classes a year; and since I did not attend The Makeup Show this year, I am eagerly awaiting this cruise (not to mention that I need a vacation)! My plan is to write a few posts on the classes that I'm going to take and the activities that were available for the makeup attendees when I get...

The color that I bought is Truly Topaz and probably in the Fall/Winter I will be back to my Heavenly Honey shade.
