This Week in Les Beaux Nuages

Hello Fabulous Readers; I have some updates!

My schedule has become sooooo demanding over the last few months and a lot of new and exciting opportunities have presented themselves to me. I am now working full time for M.A.C Cosmetics as an artist in the downtown San Francisco area. I float between Bloomingdales and Nordstrom (Westfield Center), so if you are in the area, come by and say hello! I will be working practically everyday from now until January and come January, my business partner/fabulous existence partner in crime Ashley (A.K.A. Bonnie of Honey in the Bank) and I will start a new campaign called "2 Girls 1 World" where we plan to travel the country & world, remaining in one location for 1-2 months at a time starting with Cabo San Lucas on Jan 1. We will be posting updates about our adventures including video blogs and journal entries about our experiences. I am sooo incredibly excited about this and I will be sure to keep you all abreast of everything exciting detail.

Until we leave for our first destination, I will be posting the traditional Les Beaux Nuages entries along with updates for M.A.C. lovers; however, the postings will most likely not be everyday. I will start the week off with my selection of a word, song, beaux tip, shoe, still photo, video, and place instead of a daily posting. Hopefully this is acceptable to you all; I do appreciate you frequenting my blog! Look forward to postings on either Sunday or Monday of each week!


Word: Caustic (kah stihk)
:::adj:::meaning:::biting in wit:::

example usage: She gained her reputation for being caustic from her cutting, yet witty, insults.

Song: "For the Record," by Mariah Carey
From E=MC2, 2008


Beaux Tip: Is it one of those weeks when you just cannot make it to the nail shop to get your fill? I understand; trust me.
Since having chipped nail polish or that awkward gap between your cuticle and your polish is not a desirable look; I recommend removing the old polish and applying a glitter nail polish. The glitter nail polish will help to camouflage your need for a fill. It works, I did it last week!


M.A.C Update: Last Thursday M.A.C released 6 new holiday promotional sets!!!!
The "Little Darlings" Collection includes:
3 lip gloss sets: coral, neutral, pink (5 lipglass/lusterglass colors)
2 pigment sets: cool, warm (5 pigments in each set)
1 eye pencil set (5 eye pencils)
Each set is $29.50 and only available for a short period of time!
Get yours while supplies last!
