Put Your Best Face Forward

Eyes.Lips.Face is a cheap/ridiculously affordable makeup line that is backed by Nordstroms. First heard about them a few years ago in college and was recently reminded of them again by z100 and Time Out. Many of their products are $1 each...pretty good quality that will last you beyond what you expect from the price tag. Start a makeup collection or restock, ELF has you covered.

Still here. I apologize for being haphazard with entries...between the insanity that is currently work and not having consistent internet access, blogging had to take a backseat for a little while...

Back in the day circa campus life, I was able to see prominent speakers and performers that were relevant and well sought out for free for about $5. Ah and followed by drinking free beer pumped from a keg (I know, classy) in which the entrance fee was either $5 or free. We may not be able to keep the beer flowing, but...

Many universities open events to the public at a fraction of the cost it would be otherwise or again, is completely FREE. My 2 favorite to visit for events: http://events.nyu.edu/ (NYU) and http://www.newschool.edu/eventlist.aspx (The New School). From seeing Tim Gunn of Project Runway and Tim Gunn's Guide to Style to award winning documentary screenings, school is in session.
