Lockheed Martin Christmas Party 2008 and FOTD: Sat Dec 13

Every year on the 2nd weekend in December (right around my birthday, actually) the Donaldson Center Lockheed Martin holds its annual Christmas party, sometimes at the Hyatt, usually at the Crowne Plaza. I was very pleased to have a lovely dress this year, thanks to a wonderful woman who is an alum of the college I attend. I was looking for a dress to borrow and she gave me this dress. Yes! Gave it to me! I was so excited. These photos are actually taken after the party, so I am missing a hair clip (had to return it to my sis) and Kevin's hair had been in a ponytail (he looked very dashing. The dress was a bit long, but that's what I get for being 5'2.

FOTD: Eyeshadow: Wet 'n' Wild Mega Eyes trio in Amazon Greens; Lipstick: Revlon (I don't remember the color, left it at my parents house. Wine something. It's a bid faded in the pix); Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara in Rich Black; Wet 'n' Wild Mega Glow Illuminating Powder in Catwalk Pink; ELF blush in Glow; Max Factor Silk Perfection in Cool Bronze; Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent Medium (I think);

I will have more pix up when I get some from my sis. :-)

Kevin and Mary's Early Christmas!!!

Time for Early Christmas! Actually, Kevin needs to make sure his Game Cube works w/in the 30 day return limit. And we won't be together for Christmas anyway :-(
Beautiful couple, ready for "Christmas"
Kevvy goes first
Wonder what it is (lol)
Yay! It's a Game Cube (I actually told him to make that face for the picture. Because I'm silly)
Opening the box.

There were two games inside! 007: Agent Under Fire and Metroid Prime

Goofy couple!!

A Gift Fit For A Princess

Today, Kevin went shopping for each other's Christmas gifts. It was great! First we went to Gamestop. Kevin is getting a Game Cube, Metroid Prime, and a James Bond game. He also pre-ordered COD5 while we were there (of which he is playing the beta right now. Loves it).

Next, we went to the mall. Tim and Patrick went to the arcade while Kevin and I wandered around a couple different stores before landing at the perfume counter at Belk. We had stopped at VS, but Kevin didn't like their perfumes. At Belk, we tested out basically everything. The top contenders were Estee Lauder Pleasures: Delight; Vera Wang Princess; and Roxy. In the end, we selected Princess. I am sooooo excited! It smells delightful.


What Vera Wang says:
Created for the playful, unpredictable, independent woman who treats every day like an event and adventure. This is a woman who likes to make her own magic, this sheer, flirty blend of water lily, lady apple, mandarin meringue, and golden apricot skin are melded with sheer floral notes, accented with dark chocolate, and finished with a pink frosting accord, amber, warm woods, musk, and vanilla - a whimsical treat.

I actually got one of the gift sets, with a body lotion and a little bottle for your purse. It is TOO cute! :-) I love my Kevvy!!!

I am not allowed to have it yet and he cannot have his Game Cube. After all, it is not Christmas yet. But I know, if he pouted and said please, I'd let him play his games.

I may decide to ask for one of the other fragrances for Christmas. They were all so nice.

Anyway, in addition to the fragrance, after Belk, I dragged all the boys to Claire's and picked up some nail polish. I got a blue that is a really beautiful very pigmented color. I swatched a bright extremely pigmented orange while we were there and it came out matte. I don't see a lot of matte polishes. I also got a set with 5 smaller polishes, bright bright colors: green, yellow, orange/coral, fushia/purple, and blue. They are all a bit iridescent and a bit sheer, except for the orange/coral and fushia/purple. Those are pretty good. They also dry matte, but with a top coat look very nice. Not the wet-shine look, but still nice.
