The kit was $9.99, likewise the palette was $9.99! So last week my friend and I headed over to Marshalls. A little bird told me about TheBalm products being sold there (and by a little bird I mean Rianne). There wasn’t much there however near the checkout line I found a few more Items. I decided on the Blue Eye Kit and the Shady Lady Palette. The Blue Eye Kit came with two shady lady shadows. A green called “all about alex” and a brown called “racy kacy” (Racy Kacy is in the palette as well, can’t go wrong with a gorgeous brown though!), A overshadow in a gold-ish color called “No money, no honey”. The idea with the overshadows is to put over your regular shadow and give it an extra pop. I think that many of the eye shadow shades are pretty on the shimmery pearl side but…

So sorry for this being so late but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do products of the month or not. I decided I’d give it a try. Let me know if you think I should do this monthly! 🙂 I’ll go from left to right! Yes to Carrot’s Body Butter. I love this for my dry skin. Very moisturizing and there really isn’t much of a smell to it. Purchased from Walmart Fresh’s Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment. I received this from Sephora, I love the moisture it gives however I will probably never repurchase as it is over $22 dollars. Fortune Cookie Soap in Baker’s Dozen. By far my FAVORITE sweet smell from FCS and this is on top of my love of lemon scents. I can’t make myself use it until I purchase a new one lol. Milani’s Liquif’Eye metallic eye liner pencil in 01 Black. My preferred black eye liner!…

So this is my first Face of the Day please let me know if you think I should continue these or not! This is a day of many firsts, I actually took this picture yesterday and it was the first time I ever tried false eye lashes, I have a few different types but I finally took the plunge, not sure if dramatic lashes are easier to apply or not but that’s what I decided to use. My mother told me I should wear them today so I wore them again lol I had some lady staring at me thinking my lashes were really that long HAHA, it made me laugh because my lashes are red and you can barely see them normally so for someone to think I’d have such lovely lashes was beyond me. I was kinda going for a toned down Victorian… french… something or other style. (Remember…

While I know this is quite similar to my Travel bag because lets face it, I only carry about 2 products in my purse on regular. (Lipstick/Gloss and eye liner) we’ll call this an updated one. I decided I would do the Blog Hop via BlogLoveTherapy. You should check out the hop. 😉 Anyway in general I am a over-packer and this stuff is just for one night. (Imagine if I was gone for a week!) The bag it’s self is from IKEA (UPPTÄCKA Toiletries bag) costs just around $6.00. It comes in 5 colors, I just so happened to like the off-white color the best. (I’ve been on a cream/white-ish kick for going on a year!) I love this bag because the mouth of the bag opens so wide it is so easy to find what i’m looking for in the bag. This bag is much larger then my usual travel bag…

I decided I’d redo my nails since they were chipping away and breaking sadly. I can always tell when I’ve had an overworked week when my nails are mostly broken by the end of it! SAD FACE Anywho I decided to use my Revlon nail polish in whimsical. I also used Sally Hansen’s hard as nails xtreme wear in white on under Whimsical. On both of my ring fingers I used China Glaze’s Dress Me Up. Two coats of everything! Whimsical gives the white on color a more softer look and it looks delicate and lovely. I picked it for Easter because I had someone tell me last month or so at school that it reminded them of Easter eggs. lol Adorable!!!! Ria from Ria Loves Pawlish actually did a review on the nail polish back in February which is where I saw it at (I can’t recall where I saw it before then)…

My sister had her Recital this weekend that just past. I decided today I should post some photos I took because it was too adorable. I really hope she decides to continue with it, I actually enjoyed it more then I thought I would have. They went from youngest to oldest and the younger children had two of the older children (or teenagers depending on their group) stand off to either side to do the dance with them in case they forgot their steps. Which face it, the 3 and 4 year old kids are not going to remember everything lol. My sister is 4 so she was one of the first acts up. Her first one was “I Have Learned A Ballet Dance”. (She’s the tiny one in the middle) All of the students had adorable costumes. They even had one performance that the older girls had glow in the dark lights on…

I ordered from makeupmania.com recently and I feel like not even two days later this stuff was at my door. CRAZY fast shipping. Which also makes me excited with the website because I am totally up for doing business with them again. (Plus they carry a lot of Ben Nye stuff YES PLEASE!) I only ordered two shadows and a blush to see how they are as well as a cake eyeliner. The blusher is seriously pigmented! The pressed eyeshadow in just the pan is $2.50. Likewise with the pan only for the Blush. I suppose they are the same size because they are in the same size pan. Which makes sense. Though I’ve never had such a small pan for blush. I really like the feel of them but so far I’ve only used the color Bisque. It applies oddly on my lid, splotchy or something. I haven’t heard…

So I finally got all of my pocket watch necklaces in the mail. I ordered three of them from three different sellers via ebay.com. What prompted me to check ebay was modcloth.com. I adore modcloth. Almost everything they sell. However, most of their stuff that I like is out of budget for me or better yet, out of my comfort zone. The pocket watch they sell which looks similar to the one that I got goes for $27.00 not including shipping. I bought a very similar one if not the same for $5.35 with free shipping. The seller for the silver vintage looking pocket watch is warmest999 of ebay.com. This was also the quickest shipping. This is by far my favorite one, mostly because I was lusting over it for so long on the modcloth website before I thought to check ebay lol. Love the face of the watch, I’m going to…

Weekly Nail: China Glaze’s Fast Track and riveting. Probably a more neutral look for me. Which isn’t often at least with my nails. I love the orange (riveting) however, I thought it would be too bright atm so I toned it down with the neutral color but it has some gold in it. My nails are so short I had to cut them I was having trouble typing lol. I am probably going to be stuck on these hunger games colors by china glaze for a while because there are so many ways to wear all 12. More videos and blog entries coming soon. Filmed today 🙂

Now I’m more of a neutral’s girl when it comes to my purses I don’t go all crazy and I want something that will go with most of what I have. Here are a few that caught my eye on charmingcharlie.com. Anchor’s Away Tote : $29.97 Straw Look Satchel: $34.97 Stunning Straw Handbag: $39.97 This store has some pretty cute looking bags, and they aren’t too expensive.I know a few people who shop there and really like the products. There are loads of purses and a bunch of other things on the website in all shapes sizes and colors. I think I may head to the closest location and check them out.  I could use a summer bag! 😉
