I have been MIA a lot recently and I apologize for not updating TCC in a few days. My daughter came down with the flu Thursday and we have been nursing her back to health. She has overcome most of her symptoms and it appears that she will be attending school tomorrow (Monday).
In addition to taking care of my sick little one, I have been getting ready for my trip to NYC next weekend. This is my first time visiting The Big Apple and I am so excited to finally go there and visit my publicist and BFF @AlexisTai. While preparing for my trip, I decided to go ahead and get a sew in weave so I spent most of my day Saturday at the salon after work. Sunday, I shopped around with TheCubicleChick online promoter @Ms_July8th (who is quite fabulous by the way, her eye make-up was so lovely, she turned heads everywhere we went!) and she gave me pointers on eye make-up since I am such a nerd when it comes to applying it. We bumrushed Sephora and a few other stores and I copped these wonderful items which is the start of my new eye make-up collection:
Urban Decay Vol II Palette
Application and blending brush by Sephora
When I got home, I played with the palette and came up with an interesting look (LOL). I am just a beginner but I was kind of pleased with my first try with the pigments.
Half Baked, Flipside, & Homegrown Pigments
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Zero
Starting off not too colorful but playful (hopefully)
I am just about done with shopping for the trip! I hope all of my Cubicle Chicks had a fabulous weekend. See ya on the flipside! And please comment and let me know what you think about my new pigments. 
Special thanks to @Odara112 and @Shercole for their make-up advice!
good choice of brush and very nice look!!
Thank you! Ashley (@Ms_July8th) advised that I could start off with that brush since it did both application and blending and once I have mastered that, I could step up to other brushes as I add more color and skill. I think I am going to have a lot of fun trying different looks
Hey just stopping by from BlogHerColor.com.
I had to comment because I love the Book of Shadows Pallets. I got 1 last year and a few weeks ago I picked up 2 which is fabulous. The 24/7 glide on pencils are the best I just got the holiday set with 5-6 different pencils in it.
Have a blast in NY, it's a great city. I'm there everyday and still miss so much. I can't wait to see your pics.
Thank you so much for visiting the site! I am just getting into eye make-up really to be honest. I've blogged about my lack of experience before in a previous post and now I feel like getting my feet wet with colors. Yes, the 24/7 pencil I used tonight went on effortlessly with no dragging. I heart it! I will make sure of course to Twitpic and upload as many pics as I can! I will also make sure you visit and bookmark your blog!

Heyyy! You look fab sis. I too have just started using eye make up and I bought an eye shadow palatte from Avon w/ some cute colors. I can't wait to see more looks. I've been to NY twice and didn't want to leave. Such an amazing place. I look forward to your tweets and twitpics. : )
One day we will have to visit NYC together! Couldn't you imagine? Fun times! Yes, I am going to experiment with more colors and styles to see what suits me best. Never been a fiend for make-up but I can see myself easily getting addicted.
