Good Evening Everyone,

I stopped this blog so long ago, 4 years in fact. I guess I just got sick of it. Well I can tell you 4 years later and long hours at work. I am still no where, except bored I guess. I dug up all my old passwords and dug back into what is the blogger world. I would love to keep going with my posts on makeup. But I am going to keep this blog going, and its going to be a blog about this single girl who just cant catch a break between work and my love life. Praying for Mr.Right to fall into my lap but it seems I am only finding Mr. Right Now or better then that Mr. Married. I am so over all of it. If I didn't have my gay best friend I don't know what I would do. But I can talk more about him later. The stories I have lived and heard from this man.

Good Night World, stay tuned its going to be fun this time around.

Hey everyone - I recently picked up two of these from my Avon Representative. Lucky for me I procrastinated , because I had been wanting to get them for awhile . I kept forgetting and ended up getting them for $5 each ! How awesome is that ! So if you like them , try and get them before your Avon is out of them . Remember you can always just go to Avon.com and order off the website if you don't have a Avon Rep near you .

Deep Purple

I like these , I think they are easy to use as well. They go on easy , and blend well together. I think the pigmentation is fairly well , especially for the price I paid. They stay on well also , I have worn them through a few work days. Just remember to use a eye shadow primer before hand !!

Nothing Beauty - Just babbling - Picture Today

2012-04-10T07:01:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone - So I was thinking like just now . I have not posted anything in awhile. I have to be honest as much as I love sharing all my stuff with you guys . It can be so tiring some times. I wish I had more time to do all the things I want to do and share with all of you . I just don't have the time, I hope some day I do . I always have all these awesome ideas in my head and I never get them out to actually do them . So as of right now , I decided to make this a blog about what is going on with me or my random thoughts for the day . I will of course have stuff about beauty on here. But i want everyone to know who I am - because I think I am pretty awesome ! : )

I have not been able to show you guys who I am , because I am to busy trying to get my pictures perfect or words right. Well I decided I am not to worry myself about that anymore. If I have something to share , I am going to share it . Show everyone the world through my eyes. See what I see, and maybe you will understand why I am so crazy!

Also , I am trending away from makeup right now - with summer coming and all , I don't wear to much of it . Therefore , I don't want to make it seem like I do when I don't! Trust me - If I get something new and exciting or find something new and exciting - you will still all know about it !!!

I think I am also going to have a picture a day also ! So I will have a new one hopefully every day of something fun and random or cute and sweet ! Today I decided to share two of my kitty cats in their new toy !

Left side is Tigger! Right Side is Dory!!!

Hope you all have a good day !!

They stay on all day also , which is wonderful especially if used over a eye shadow base.

Julep Maven Box

2012-03-12T08:47:00.003-07:00

Good Morning everyone ! I wanted to share my "It Girl" Julep Maven Box I received in February. I got three polishes in the box and a sample of their lotion also. The colors are very pretty, and all the pictures are only one coat . The nail polishes apply well , and they are pretty opaque with one coat, even the glitter went on well . Without needing tons of re application.

With the Julep Maven box , you can get your first box very very cheap ( I have coupon code below!) , you sign up and choose which box you want. At the end of each month you can choose the same style , or you can choose a new one. If you want also you can skip that months box if you don't see anything you like that month! Each month you choose to have a box sent to you , it is only $19.99 a month!

I think its pretty cool, being able to choose if you want a box every month . As well as already knowing what will be in it ahead of time.

Note: If you wish to skip a month or change which style you will receive . They have a time frame which is the 20th - 24th of each month!

Before unwrapping, So pretty!

Revlon Color Stay Eye Shadow Quad

2012-03-11T15:24:00.000-07:00

It has been so long since my last post! I have been under the weather and so busy , I have not found the strength till today ! The weather is finally getting better , I am so excited ! I hope it stays this way !

Review on Revlon Color Stay Eye Shadow Quad in 575 Delightful

I tried this quad out for a few days , I am not very happy with it . It has beautiful colors and they come out amazing . They go on fairly well also , however the colors did not stay on very well at all . To me you can have the most beautiful colors but if it wont stay on then it is no use to you . I tried it with a base as well , the results were a little better but about the same .

Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quad Review

2012-02-24T07:21:00.002-08:00

Just a quick review on Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quad. The one I have pictured is Pastel Perfects in 30Q Seahorse Frost. I picked up this quad a week or so ago , It has four colors. They are labeled as Base, Lid,Crease and Liner.

30Q Seashore Frost

30 Q Sea Shore Frost

(Left to Right- Base, Lid,Crease,Liner)

With it on , a little sloppy (whoops)!

I was honestly not expecting this quad to give me that much color pay off when I first bought it . I have not gotten a Maybelline quad in some time. The last time I have used one , they were not that great. I was very impressed with the color pay out . It went on nicely , It is not chalky at all . If used with a eye shadow primer , it will stay on and apply easier as well. Another plus is being able to build it up at much as you like, some like this , others do not . I personal like it , so i can go for different looks with it.

Zoya Swatches Haul

2012-01-27T16:17:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone ! Just wanted to show you the colors I got recently from Zoya.com. They had a coupon code to get 2 free polishes and you had to pay $6.95 shipping and handling or you could have spent $25 or more , gotten the two free colors and also free shipping . I went with the second offer instead. These are what I picked up, I adore all the shimmer colors. I also bought some creme colors and didnt notice how close in shades they were until actually seeing them . This is picture heavy and I took pictures with and without flash and some of them change the color alot , very weird .

Remember this offer is expired , but I would follow them on Facebook because that's where I find out about all the cool stuff!

I think my favorites from these are Faye and Rica , they are SO pretty on . Which do you prefer ?

Faye with Flash One Coat

Faye without flash one coat

Apple without flash one coat

Kimmy with flash one coat

Zoya Kimmy swatch

2012-01-24T00:36:00.001-08:00

Hi ! Just a quick picture of my nails today . Which are Zoya nail polish named Kimmy . I actually bought this because my best friends name is kim , and the color is amazing . It looked great with one coat but was a little transparent so I added a extra one to make it less transparent . Either way I love this color !!!

Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation Review

2012-01-20T19:37:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! I have been so busy shopping and working . I have been delayed in new posts! I have so much to show . I have a alot of hauls coming soon! lol

So I was hearing good things about this clean finish foundation from the web , and I had to try it out myself. Let me tell you , I adore it so

much!!!!

I have been using it now for about a week , and I love it . I stopped using my Mac Prolong wear and started using this daily.

The things I like about this product is the bottle , for one. I have never liked glass bottles, you cant always get all of your product out firstly and secondly you cant cut it open to get it either!!!! So the reason I love this is the attachment it has when you open the bottle.( I have it pictured also for you too see.) I like it so much , also you don't waste pouring out to much product . You can simply apply what you need and put back in the bottle. Which is awesome!

What else I like about this is that is does cover very well , it claims to be 100% pore less. I don't think that is true . HOWEVER , it does do a darn good job at cover your pores. Along with that, it is not heavy feeling on your face. The foundation I have been using for about 2 years now , always felt kind of heavy for my taste , but it lasted and covered well so i kept to it . This one is giving me all those things plus it feels light on your face.

It is nice also because it comes in a variety of colors for skin tones , which is lovely!

All in all though , I think this is a great product. I bought my first one at Ulta for $4.99. Not bad at all, and can you believe I went to Walmart and they sell it for $3.97!!!! OMG! So yes I picked up a back up ! So if you are interested , and wanna pay even less I would go to Walmart for it !

Thanks! Hauls coming soon!

Magnetic Nail Polish. Today's Manicure

2012-01-12T12:09:00.000-08:00

This is a relativity new nail polish available at Sephora . It is a magnetic nail polish from the company Nails.Inc , it sells for $16 . I received mine as a gift for Christmas , and I love it . I didn't think I would at first , but the more you play with it the more you can do with it . The polish it self goes on very well and it dries pretty quickly which i adore. After that all you have to do is take the lid of it and hold it above your wet nail before it dries for design. I love it!

Color Tattoo Eye Shadow by Maybelline

2012-01-12T08:46:00.000-08:00

So I had seen these and was a little worried to pick them up since a lot of creamy eye shadows never work out for the good and usually end up creasing. I noticed they looked alot like a Mac paint pot though. So of course my curiosity got the better of me . So I picked up three colors to try out , which were the white, purple and bronze brown. Cant go wrong with those right?

swatches

comparison

So upon actually trying them and working with them , I find these little gems amazing. I actually tested it on my hand when first getting it . I put some on my hand , I used soap and water to take it off and nothing came off. I then wiped my hands with a paper towel and a small amount came off , but hardly any at all . Basically showing me that these bad boys will stay were I put it . Looks good to me . I have worn the bronze and the white , and I love them . They have not creased on me yet and they have stayed on my lids until I took them off.

I included some pictures and also did a side by side next to a mac paint pot just to show the similarities , especially in packaging .
