'69 Camaro SS shirt and high waisted jeans

FINALLY done with my morning/ early afternoon chores!  Ready for errands now.  Busy, busy Saturdays.  This is my clothes for the day-- cropped out my face bc I have yet to do my make up and I look frightening.
Def pairing this look with my black hightop Converse.  Neutral makeup.


Later!

Buxom Amplified Mascara

  Buxom Amplified Mascara.  Quick review.  These are the pictures...I got this at Sephora for free...I think.  Hahah I can't remember.  But I really like this mascara.  This whole brush changing thing confuses me...I don't understand how it works!  It makes me feel like a child to say this, but it's like magic! Sadly, I haven't really figured out the trick to get a certain brush when I want it.  I like either of the brushes, so it doesn't matter too much.  

The mascara itsself is really good!  I don't really have problem with clumping ( That I have found so far), which usually happens to me on my left eye for some reason.  No real flaking that I can tell either -- I will make sure to keep better track.  AND what I realy love about it-- I get great looking lashes without really any effort. Some mascaras you ahve to use a brush then separate with a comb...etc etc etc.  But not this!  I keep it in my purse because I am usually running late in the mornings and do this in the car once I get to work.  It's perfect for that because I know that I am able to just apply and not have to worry about mistakes!  The brush is really easy to control and not too big so I never really make a mess on my eye with it.  

I really like it better than Benefit They're Real.  I think it gives me for volume and length and doesn't clump.

So far, this has been one of my favorite mascaras I've used.

I'm going to go with a score of:

9/10

I am not sure the price because I got it for free...but it's prob more than I would like to spend on a mascara for everyday.  But we will see.

Make Up Brush Storage

I have quite a few make up brushes.  I have some that are pretty short!  For these, I wanted to get a new container because they would get lost in the container I had them in and I was also running out of room.  ( haha a good problem to have!).  The American Cancer Society has "Discovery Shops" that sell clothing and other items (Kind of like a Goodwill) but the money goes towards Cancer research/etc.  It's a win win!  I found this little mini vase/creamer thing.  (It would be really cute as a cream holder...but I don't have my own place yet...) ANYWAY! I went into the shop looking for things, especially something for my brushes.  And there it was.  I was so happy.  I think it was only $7 dollars or something.  I love it!  It's perfect for my shorter brushes and it also looks super cute- much better than the pink plastic cup I have my other brushes in.  I have been looking or something else for my taller brushes, but haven't been lucky-- Yet.


But ya, this is just an idea for people looking for storage solutions when it comes to make up brushes.  Cute and functional, I am able to have my brushes at arms reach!

Super Sick

Sunday I was in the car driving back from being out of town and I just felt pretty ill.  I thought they were just really bad allergies -- I couldn't stop sneezing and was pretty congested.  Then at night, it hit and I knew it was a cold or something.  I had work at 6 am the following morning.  I managed to get to work, but felt pretty terrible.  I worked till about 9 am.  I had to leave work.  I felt as though I was going to faint and I got sick to my stomach!  Once home, I immediately fell into bed and slept for basically the whole day.  I got up at around 5 pm to have some chicken broth and watch a movie (just so I got out of bed for a bit).  I went back to sleep a little after 7 pm and slept about 12 hours (luckily I have today off).  I woke up a few times during the night, but I feel much better today.  Toast for breakfast and Airborne.

Doing some laundry and I have to go buy food for this week...Ugh don't really want to, but today is the last day I have off till next week....




Hopefully I don't vomit at Safeway....hahahah

N.Y.C High Definition Mascara

I got this mascara as a birthday present from my sister.  I tried it and had to review right away when I got back from out of town.

I totally love the cute bright packaging!  It makes it super easy to find in my make up stash - mascaras tend to have a darker color tub and it always gets lost in my bag!  Not this tube, that would be like losing a highlighter.  Now the brush:

As you can see, the wand is pretty slim and it is a plastic-y wand.  I like these because they provide me with great separation of my eyelashes, which seem like all the want to do is hang out in one big group...*sigh*.

And now- The Results!

(Before: I only have liquid eyeliner on..no mascara)

(After: HOLY MOLY! look at the length!)

I was super surprised by this mascara!  I literally said "wow" out loud after seeing the results.  I chose my left eye because my eyelashes are shorter on that eye, so I am able to see what this can do on my shorter lashes...poor left eye.  I was really impressed.  I didn't even spend time with a lash brush or anything because I was out of town and didn't have all the tools of the trade with me, but I just couldn't wait to try my new mascara!  Also note, I didn't curl my lashes before either.  I am going to try to pair this with a voluminous mascara and see what results I have.

Thanks Sister!

Sephora Birthday!

Sephora has birthday gifts for VIBs.  I went today to pick mine up!  Super cute little gifts like this make me so happy...it's the little things in life that can make all the difference!  There was another lady picking up hers too.  Her birthday was today! I told her happy birthday.

"Real Birthday Turn-ons!"

It comes with Watts up (champagne highlighter stick) and They're Real (mascara) both by Benefit.  I have tried (and loved) the mascara.  I have yet to try the highlighter...but I will review!

A Happy Birthday, indeed!

Today I had lunch with a friend!  We went and got Thai food.  We ate so much food it was delicious.  Another patron even came over to tell us that she and her table saw what we ordered and asked their waiter to bring them the exact same order! hahaaha I thought that was fantastic!  It was nice to catch up, I never get to see her as much as I would like or used to.  It was a great day!  After that, I had to run around and do a ton of errands.  I finished shopping for my nephew's birthday and had to get things for the house.
I found out that a friend is having a BBQ tomorrow and I will be unable to attend.  I was pretty bummed about that.  I always miss these summer BBQs!  But we are planning on doing something Monday.

All and all a great day! super busy though.
