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

As of late, I've have been loving this foundation. I have gotten a tan, and this prompted me to buy a new foundation matching my new shade. The color that I bought is Truly Topaz and probably in the Fall/Winter I will be back to my Heavenly Honey shade. I've used Black Opal foundations before, and I figured I would give this new one a try. Read on for my thoughts. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION "Keep them guessing with picture poreless skin.
