Timelies all!
Wow, the makeup conversation is still going on. I may look into some of the Smashbox items mentioned. The mall that has a Sephora is the one I was planning to stop by to see if the Easy Spirit there has black pumps in my size. (I went to a different mall on Saturday and the Easy Spirit there had no dress shoes in my size. Bleah.)
Jessica, if you're looking for alternates to Frontera downtown, I could pimp Prairie Fire.
I'll admit to not eating there yet, but it's a spinoff of Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook, which I am a big fan of. Prairie Fire is supposed to be of the same quality and menu as PGC, just aimed more at the corporate clientele of the Loop instead of the family/date clientele of the North Shore. The halibut is amazing, and the pies are legendary (the recipe for their piecrust has been written up in the Tribune).
(Edited to fix link.)
In non-makeup news, I have ordered new glasses, and they are bifocals. In four months I turn 50. I feel old.
I started wearing bifocals two years ago, and I'm 44.
What got me feeling old recently was talking with a classmate in my cataloging class on Saturday. I mentioned that my job might be going away within the year, and how I started working here in 1992. She looked at me and said, "That's when I started preschool."
I. am. ancient.

I need to get bifocals (I have the prescription; just have to pick out glasses). I'm 45, and was told people generally need bifocals when they turn 40.
Connie, did you get the kind with the line on the lenses?
And reading that post, it sounds like I'm lalala-ing your feeling old, Connie. I'm sorry about that! I just know exactly what you're going through, is all.
In other makeup news, I just wrote up and posted a tutorial for doing a blood-spatter manicure. [link]
Your classmate is 12?
Or else spent time in a Hell dimension?

Edited to fix it to 1992 and make y'all look crazy!
