Featured on Style Sessions

Good morning and happy Tuesday to you all! I hope you survived the muck of Monday and that you are in gear for a great week.  I actually had a fabulous Monday despite the rain and gloom we had as weather.  I had my coffee, a great day at work, and a workout (!!!)... my first in a little while.
In fact, I hadn't realized how long it had actually been until I drove to the gym and found it had relocated.
Don't worry, I found it.
Uhhh, yeah, so here's to a healthier few months and some GOOD NEWS!
Matters of Merrymaking was one of a handful of local Memphis style blogs to be featured in a Style Session blog post by the Memphis Flyer.  We were asked about our favorite upcoming trends and advice on style going in to the New Year.  I kind of sound like an ignoramus quoted in the article, but what can I say? I'm passionate about patterns.  Check the article and other FABOOSH Memphis style blogs here.  Thanks to Sophorn for the write-up and photo below. 
Xo, my little chickens.

Beauty Feature: On Your Mark! Round Three


ON YOUR MARK!
A five part beauty feature taking us on the journey of finding the ULTIMATE eyeliner.
The Contenders:
{Round Three}


3.  Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Perversion

I am obsessed with black eyeliners, and this was reviewed as being the blackest black you can get.  Also, the fact that it was matte was alluring.  I definitely love the color and pigment of the eye shadow, but it smudged a tiny bit more than the previous two eyeliners.  It stays soft for blending for about 30 seconds before drying and staying all day, so if you are a fan of the smoky eye- this is an ideal eyeliner for you!  My only complaint is that it is a REALLY soft pencil so you have to sharpen it frequently, and it did not sharpen evenly for me.  Just a little pet peeve!  Any thoughts on Urban Decay?

Coming Soon

 Round Four: bareMinerals
