That's what these are. I got them at Dillards for $50. Erica, I love your legal day pictures! That dress is awesome!

it's beautiful! i love all the pictures!

everything looks great... and really large

another picture... you're going to be sick of seeing my face! but i got earrings this weekend, and am bored at work so I thought I'd share! Oh and for favors... my mom calls me yesterday and says "did you know you can get your own M&Ms?!!!!!" So she is getting some Tara & Joe M&Ms with organza bags. She was SOOOO excited about them, it was pretty funny!

Good Luck Everyone!!! That is awesome! Congrats!

Wow, that's good she's coming home! How great that you can share all of this with her now Hope her health starts to improve!

I love your pictures! OMG 383. I didn't know they seriously didn't wear anything under!

That's how I felt too. I spent 326 on all of it. But that includes 2 brushes. Which I'm going to buy cheaper some place else. So subtract amost 60 bucks from that total. Not really that bad IMO!

I'm like you I hate wearing makeup and always want to wash it off as soon as I get home, so i know what kind of feeling you mean. What kind of foundation did you buy? I went to get my make up done at 1130am, then FI and I ran a ton of errands and got home at 4ish. And it's 112 degrees here, and that is what it looked like after all of that. Still looked fresh, IMO. I actually wiped some of it off when I got home, just to see what it would look like, and it still looked nice. Here's what I got Foundation Primer (I told her I knew I wouldn't be using this aside from out wedding day so she gave me 6 tester tubes. Some for practice, some for the real deal. Which was so nice, because why buy a 30 dollar tube when you'll use it once!) Tinted moisturizer - this is my foundation. I don't need a ton of coverage so this is what she recommended for me. I used it today, with a sponge (which I've never done before) and it seemed pretty fool proof. I didn't put tons on, but hey, I'm taking baby steps here! Consealer duo with eye brightner - one for under eyes, one for red marks, blemishes etc. under the consealer there is a eye brightening powder that you put under your eyes to make them appear brighter Bronzer Blush A Moasic pallet - which is used for my eye shadow, and as a highlighter on my cheek bones. has 4 colors Creme eyeshadow. she used this as a base for the moasic pallet, but i loved how it looked alone, so i bought it for everday use. I'm wearing it today. Only needed a tiny dab, and I love the color. I think it's called Gold Rose Translucent Setting powder - gave a nice glow OHH I can't believe I almost forgot this! My favorite thing - eyeliner. Sounds crazy but she taught me how to put it under my upper eyelashes to open my eyes up. It's amazing. Not easy to do as I got a bunch in my eye this morning, but I'm determined to figure it out. It was amazing the difference. I think that's it! I never realized how excited I am about all of this.. I might have opened pandoras box with this make up stuff!

Do you girls think i'm better of going to a Laura Mercier store/counter instead of sephora? I would go to the LM counter. I personally didn't have a great experience at Sephora. The girl wanted me to pick my eyeshadow, blush, etc. I was like "um no, I don't know what colors look best" She didn't seem to know either. The girl at LM, was incredible. Even drew out what to use in which order, where to apply, which brushes to use, etc. And she told me why she was doing what she was doing, what teqniques to use for each product. I had a great experience there.

that's too bad about the seating chart. why do some people think they know better than you would? i don't ever get that! cannot wait to see some pictures!

Quote: Originally Posted by SoontobeMrsE What is the difference in the LM and BE makeup? For me it was mostly the feeling. BE made me feel really.... plastic. Does that make sense? LM felt so natural. I wan't rushing home to wash it off. And I actually wore some today and I love it. It's so easy and a tiny bit goes a long way. So even though it's expensive it will last a long time. Girl that did my make up said she's had her bronzer for 2 years and she uses it every day. Here are pictures of both. Yes I'm wearing the same outfit! But it was washed in between! Granted no eye make up in this BE picture, but you get the general idea. Bare Escentuals: And the LM make up: with a little too much eye make up

OMG this is great! I can't pick a favorite, I love too many of them! Something about the Hula Girl, and the "cow" are so cute!

I bought mine at the bridal store.... hmm wishing I would have shopped around a little!

I would get a long, single tier, simple veil. One that doesn't compete with your dress.

Very nice! What a great find!

Morgan, your stuff always looks so great!!! Nice job, again

Im going to go with one or both of my bms to bare escentials to get my make up done there, i think it would be too light for the wedding day but i would like to try it for the rest of the time we are in Punta Cana. I hate heavy makeup and i heard it's really light. anyone use it? And then i'm going to go to sephora for a makeup trial too for wedding day makeup. I got Laura Mercier. I actually got my make up done twice this weekend! Sat I had bare escentials, Sunday I got Laura Mercier. To be honest, I didn't love the Bare Escentials. I know there are tons of girls on this forum that do, but for me it felt like a plastic mask was attached to my face. I hardy wear make up anyway, but as soon as I left the store I called FI saying OMG I have to wash this off NOW! Also, I don't usually have a problem with pores looking large, but they definitely did with the BE. Laura Mercier was definitely more expensive (but then I bought almost everything she put on me) but it feels SOOOOOOOO much better Here's a picture. I'm not doing the under eye eyeliner. FSIL, talked me into trying my dress on when we were there. I haven't had it on since I bought it almost 8 months ago. It was weird having it on, I felt like i was getting second thoughts. Has anyone else experienced this? FSIL kept saying it looks great. When i bought it, it just fit. I've lost 13lbs since then so im hoping once it's fitted properly I'll love it again. I think that's probably totally normal. Plus if it didn't fit right I'm sure you were looking at it going "ugh it just doesn't look right" But it will once it fits you perfectly! Apparently it wants me to type more.......

Erica, I'm glad to hear you legal day went well! Can't wait to see pictures!!! I am finally feeling like things are starting to come together!! Finally! This weekend I checked a bunch of random things off my list like: Make up, FI tie, bra for dress, earrings, favors, oot bags are done.

And this weekend hasn't been very good either. But I did buy lots of fruit and veggies yesterday at the store, so I'm going to be good this week, no more bad food. We can get back on the bus together

WOW! You have a lot going on right now! You one friend.. she's what I'd call a shit show. Why couldn't your wedding have been their family vaction? Ugh, annoying. I have a friend that did the same shit to me. Whatever, their loss! Too bad for them! Your sister... oh my. What does she see in this loser? Is he coming to the wedding? Hang in there! You'll make it!

congrats that is so exciting!!!
