My trip to Chicago

I recently went to Chicago for a conference. It was my first time in Chicago and I loved it. I would describe it as a Midwest New York. It has the hustle and bustle, there are people out at all times of night and has great shopping. What I did notice is that during the day a lot the women wore flats. When I worked in New York, I pounded the payment in at least 3 inch heals everyday, so I can appreciate fashionable flats. However, being what can be considered shorter in stature I probably won't adapt the flat into my everyday wear but I would wear flats when I know I have a long day of walking. Below are very cute reasonable priced flats:

The shopping was great in Chicago. I spent 4 hours in Filene's basement. Great deals. I bought this sundress for $29.99

This is great for a Sunday Bruch and for $30.00 bucks I couldn't pass up the deal.

This blouse was only $24.99 and looks great with at pair of jeans.

Make-up Challenge Update

After 3 weeks of my make-up challenge, I am really enjoying my drug store cosmetics. The two products that I use daily are the Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Mascara and Revlon ColorStay Mineral Foundation.


Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Mascara- 2 thumbs up. This mascara lengthened my short eyelashes without any clumps. I love it!!!


Revlon ColorStay Mineral Foundation- I am not typically a foundation wearer. I'm always worried that my foundation doesn't match my skin color perfectly and people can tell. Plus I don't like heavy make-up on my face. However, I pushed away my foundation concerns because I heard so many good things about mineral make-up as well as Halle Berry was the spokesperson so if Halle wears it I have to try it. I now wear this foundation daily. This product evens out my skin. This make-up is so lightweight, you can't even tell that I have it on. The cons- 1) the brush that comes with the foundation to apply is a little hard. I am getting used to it now, but I would suggest buying a softer brush to apply and 2) it doesn't provide full coverage to make skin look poreless. I can still see my pores after application. So this product I give one thumb up.

All in all, these products are definately comparable to the department store brands.
