Ipsy: October

I know I'm a little late to the party with this one, but I'm trying!

The theme of the October bag was Spellbound.  I love that they are doing these little cards now!  I can't really say the products in the bag match the theme, but the bag definitely does!

And here is my overview for the month!

The first product is probably the thing I find most underwhelming, and it is the Marc Anthony Coconut Oil and Shea Butter hair oil.  I get hair oils from Ipsy all the time it seems like, and I always tell them I don't like them and not to send anymore, but whatever.  It isn't that this product is bad, I have some other things from this brand and it is good, but I just really don't need, want, or use hair oils.

Next is the Tarte Lifted Sweatproof Mascara.  My first thought was how different tis packaging looks from most mascaras and how well this is going to stand out in stores!  It is bold and bright whereas most bottles are in blacks or darker colors it seems like.  My next thought was that I wish I had a trip to Disney planned so I would have a good reason to try out its sweatproof effectiveness!  This is such a cool idea, and though I haven't yet opened the bottle because I have many others open and I don't want this one to go bad, I am excited to try it out!!


This is the MDMFlow liquid matte lipstick in Retro.  Though I don't know the brand, which is always a bit disappointing, I do love lipstick!  This is a more summer-y pink shade than I would expect in a "Spellbound" bag, but it is a pretty color with a nice consistency, so I'm not mad at it!

This is a Dirty Little Secret single eyeshadow in the color Bronzed.

Here is a swatch because you couldn't see the color too great in the package.  It is a nice color, but nothing really special or unique.  Once again, though DLS isn't an exciting brand for me, I have had some products of theirs in the past that were quite nice, so this is ok.

And finally, this is the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion.  I am so back and forth about this product!  I am excited to try such a well known and raved about product, and Urban Decay is an awesome brand, but I have so many black eyeliners!  Oh well, I shouldn't be complaining.  It is always an exciting day when Urban Decay is included!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

What I Did This Month... November

This has been a month of quite a few firsts... I got my first job!! I am working at a daycare with kids ages 2-12 in the afternoons after school. I am really liking it, and I don't have to work weekends or Holidays so is is great! And then I got my second job... Back in the Summer I asked my cousin about having a job in his clothing store, and he told me that I could be a gift-wrapper closer to the Holidays. So I am doing that on Saturdays! I mean, I'm not complaining (much), I am making good money! But oh my gosh... I have been so tired! I started out the month making Triple Salted Caramel Cupcakes for my Mommy's birthday! The next semi-interesting thing I did this month was go to my neighbor/sister(sort of) wedding! I was a Guest Book Person/Dress Fluffer and Holder/Unofficial Bridesmaid... In all reality I have absolutely no idea what I was! But it was a pretty wedding, and we had fun :) This was her getting her hair done... Her and her (now) husband dec...

Outer Banks 2013: Day 11, Monday June 17th

9:00 AM Well we had to wake up early this morning... Since Elijah was sick yesterday we missed a lot of what we were going to do, and had to try and fit it all in in two days instead of three. But missing that day was worth it because he feels so much better today :) We had waffles again foe breakfast this morning, which were just as good as the day before. Now we are driving across the road to the Wright Brothers Memorial. 11:00 AM We just left the Memorial/museum! See, he is feeling much better :) Remake of the first plane Markers depicting the flight distances, see that one way off in the distance? :) The Wright Brother's Memorial Now we are on our way to Currituck Lighthouse! 12:30 PM We de decided to stop for lunch at a place in Duck called Route 12.  We know about it because it was featured on the Tv show Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. I had Chicken Tenders and fries, which were very good :) 4:00 PM We just left Currituck Lighthouse...
