Running Around with the Fiancé

Today I had a lot of running around to do as I have my friends baby shower coming up (I bought the cutest stuffed animal, knit cardigan and jumper for her little boy to be), a bridal shower for my friend getting married in August and my girl Carina's birthday! I bought her some stuff from MAC that she wanted =). Le Bf who is now Le Fiance (sounds weird...I know, but in a good way...that was my little surprise!) and I ran errands together mostly for me, and I helped him finish off an essay on Health and the Law....we have also been visiting a lot of family and friends to share the news...so its been a busy time! I have lots of pictures of the proposal, what he did and also a video because being the wonderful guy that he is....it could not just be a plain old proposal :P....We have been dating for 7 years now..highschool sweethearts, both graduate this year and will be planning a long engagement! We dont plan on having a wedding ceremony until we both have a little more saved up and finish all our schooling (and hopefully have a home to move into first...haha...which will probably be a few years).

Back to the outfit and makeup....it is 29 degrees C here in Toronto today, beautiful weather! I decided to wear my thrifted bohemian inspired top with my fave JC gladiators and slouchy leather bag from Winners...I was a little hot in the top :s....later on I am getting together with the girls for ice cream...Im debating whether I should change into a loong maxi dress...the one I wanted was sold out at American Eagle....it was plain white....cute braided straps....no logos and was such a soft material....should have got it when it was on sale :s...oh well....

The makeup in this post was picked up at CCO in Buffalo....so much cheaper than buying at the actual MAC store! I got a mineralize skinfinish for $19 in the color Petticoat which I do not recommend to those who have trouble with using a light hand....If you do have this, I highly recommend using the 188 brush because if you put too much you could end up looking like you have a skin disease....trust me, my first try wasnt the most pleasant...I also got the fluidline eyeliner in Blacktrack for $10....I am in lovewith it...so much better than using pencils...The concealer is NYX which we do not have in Canada..its good for undereye circle...

Hope you all have a great Thurs!

OMG! CONGRATS! I knew this was gonna happen for you, sooner or later - 7 years is a hella long time and you guys are so sweet together :) :D

Good call on the long engagement - I would love to be married but I just don't have the time and don't feel "adult" enough for it (though I am 27 lol) so a long engagement would be a great idea for Mike and I. When we get around to it!

Congrats again!!!!!

NYX concealer? I've seen it in Vancouver...hmmmm.

Wanderlusting said...

PPS - loves the top and glads - maxi dresses rule too. Wish Vancouver would hurry up and get hot lol. It's 18 here but that ain't good enough :D
bye sweetie!

I can't wait to see the proposal pics and all. Even though we don't know each other it's weird how I look forward to it lol. In a good way.

Gigi said...

p.s. I have a question: been debating on getting the fluidliner.

how is it compared to liquid eyeliner for top lashes? does it come out as dark/black and does it last?

leeselooks said...

YAY.
congrats girl.
such amazing news!
you must share the proposal, etc.
sounds magical!


oh- and i NEVER wear eyeliner but i got "backtrack" last week and i absolutely LOVE IT. it is perfect, but it is taking me some time to get a nice fluid line !

enjoy this special time.

Nice photos! Love the sandals!

Ashleigh said...

Gigi: It does not come out as black as my liquid liner however it lasts all night and does not wear off unlike the liquid liner I wear (also, it is STILL pretty black...) Overall, I like it better

Anon: The sunglasses are Burberry

Kicking Couture: Im NC25 and got CJ02 otherwise known as Fair becausde I use it for undereyes- its not great for covering blemishes

Thanks to everyone else for your well wishes!!! XOX
