Last night we went to my nephew’s Bar Mitzvah. We had a fabulous time with our family, and it was fun to have our little triad dressed up and out for the evening. I did my own hair and make-up, and was pleased with the results. I have to rave about Lisa Watier Eye Shine Metallic Eyeliner ($16.00CAD). I picked one up in Silver Grey and was thrilled with it. It was very soft easy to use, and made a very pretty shimmery silver line. Perfect. The best part was how it lasted. Often nice soft liners like this go on great and look great, but smudge and transfer easily leaving lines all over the eye-lid. This liner did not budge all night. I applied it with white highlighter on the browline, silvery shadow blended to just above the crease and lots of Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara:
I wore pants, which is unusual for me. I always wear dresses for evenings out, but I found the top at Winners and just had to wear it. It would have been very unflattering with any skirt but a straight skirt, and all my skirts are A-line, so pants it was. Paired with slim fitting dress trousers (from Wal-Mart!!) and sparkly peep-toe pumps,I think it looked elegant and modern. It was also nice to be free of panty-hose (which always end up in the garbage can half-way through an event anyways). I could not get a good picture with the outfit and my face, so use your imagination:
The girl, in all her red gorgeousness. I actually found her dress at Once Upon a Child, where I always look first for dressy things for her. Since dressy kids clothes is rarely worn, it is the perfect thing to buy used. She loved it:
Some pics from the dance floor. You’ll notice I did some very subtle photo-editing to protect innocent eyes:

by the end of the evening, the girl was a teensy bit tired:
