Trial and Error

Other people went to parties, watched TV, or drank champagne--I spent New Year's Eve on two beauty experiments, going to bed in braids and wearing Kate Beckett eye makeup.

The former left me with an overgrown Afro look, and the latter did NOT leave me looking like a hot TV star or even a runway-ready NYPD detective. It did, however, leave me looking like a 40-something librarian with nice eye makeup, so I'm keeping the look. 




ps: In other beauty news, the fringe is definitely history. I've gone all week without even a barrette to keep the hair out of my eyes.
