Hey Dolls!
I want to tell you about my latest obsessions! I have TONS of obsessions, but the latest are super fun and cute and I can't help but share!
This is my Louis! I got it for Christmas this past year (2010) and he's my favoritest ever! I LOVE BIG BAGS! Call me the bag lady if you will, but I do not mind wearing oversized purses! They are my obsession and I can't help it! I am that girl who carries EVERYTHING with her so oversized bags are a super must!
Okay seriously, if you do not own this, PLEASE go out and buy it now! I have been wearing Dollymix for-EVER! I can't imagine my life without it! I honestly can't compare this to any other blush because it's all I wear! I will say that I wore a blush (last night for the first time) that is part of a limited edition palette from Sephora and it was suuper cute, but doesn't compare at ALL to this! I love it because it's the perfect pink to your cheeks and you can either wear it as a light pink or a hot pink- for day or night. Amazing for all skin types too! I'm usually really light in the winter and tan in the summer- I wear it year round! Ladies, if you purchase it or already own it, let me know how you like it!
Where do I start? Ok, so... I barely have any eyelashes! I don't know why, either! All my life I've been eyelash deprived! So after going through tons of the 'drugstore' brand mascaras, I gave in to spending $24.50 on DiorShow! DiorShow gets summed up in one word: FAB! Why is DiorShow "FAB!" well because it worked WONDERS on my eyelashes, all like 10 of them! (okay I know I have more then 10, I'm just exaggerating - ha!) I love the fact that it gives volume, and length, and really made me feel like I had a million eyelashes! So after wearing DiorShow for about 2 years, I was just looking for something similar, not as expensive, and can make me feel the way I feel about DiorShow. Setting myself up for failure, I began my journey. I tested soooooo many mascaras and I was just NOT happy! I couldn't find anything to give me what I wanted... I just wanted my eyelashes to look like I have a million... is that too hard to ask? Out of NOWHERE Benefit BADgal Lash popped from the shelf to my eye! I was just looking at Benefit products at Sephora and noticed the brush itself. It looked super similar to DiorShow and I was intrigued. I tried it on and batted my eyes, and that was it, it came home with me! It's my the newest addition to my lovely makeup collection and I'm so inlove! I miss my DiorShow because I'm so used to looking at it, although it makes me feel great to save $5.50 and still have exactly what I'm used to! I dont mind spending money on beauty products, I truly dont, but if I can save a penny, why not?!
I was never really a lip gloss girl... I always lick it off. I have a bad habit of doing that! Lipsticks usually work better with me because they arent typically "glossy" and hardly taste yummy to make me want to lick it off. haha- typing this makes me laugh, because I never really admitted to the fact that I eat my lipgloss LOL! This Lip Fusion is a lip plumper and it's super fab! I purchased Nars Turkish Delight and it tasted terrible (going back to me licking my lipgloss off) and I just couldn't stomach it- plus my lips are a rose color and the light pink-ness of Turkish Delight made me look kinda funny. I went back to Sephora to exchange it and a makeup artist helped me find this one! It tastes yummy and looks GREAT on my lips! I wear it all the time, even going to the grocery store! I don't mind the minor tingling it gives me once I put it on and for alittle while after, either! I can say that it doesn't really make my lips look any bigger or "puffier." It just tastes, looks, and feels good! It's alittle pricey at $29.00, but definitely worth it for me! Oh! And I surprisingly don't lick it off!
I LOVEEEEE THIS FOUNDATION! I was on a hunt for a new foundation that gives a medium to build-able full coverage and this was just it! I was previously wearing Hourglass in #5. Hourglass is a great foundation, but I don't miss it! Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich is perfect for my dry skin! I am also using self tanner so my skin tone on my face is alittle off from time to time and this has made my skin look like a porcelain doll! It gives my skin the hydration it needs and keeps it soft and put together in every single way! It makes me feel like I'm not wearing anything while giving me the coverage I want (because I can control it). Also, it's only $45.00 compared to the $60.00 I was paying for Hourglass!

Hey dolls! This is my second post although it's technically my FIRST! I'm super loving this whole blogging thing! After a super tough year, I've really needed to find a niche and I've FINALLY FOUND IT!
I've decided to make my first real post about organizing! I LOVE TO ORGANIZE! It's in my DNA to put everything in order and in boxes or drawers and sometimes even label them! For those of you who are neat freaks and organizers, CHEERS TO YOU!
After having all my makeup sitting in drawers and cosmetic bags, I was bound to find SOMETHING to organize it in a way that makes it easier to utilize! So what I did was purchased these Desk Storage Drawers from Staples and drilled it into the wall underneath the open area of a desk I already had! Seriously has worked WONDERS!
Each drawer is organized in categories... like foundation/primers/bronzers or mascara/eye pencils/brushes.
It's so convenient and has made doing my make-up so much fun!
What I also put together that many of you might find convenient too, is a brush holder! My sister bought me a candle last year and I finally used it completely. So I took the remaining candle wax out of it and filled it with super duper small beads from a craft store. I store the brushes I use on a daily basis and some eyeliners. It sits on my make up counter and not only is it convenient but super cute! I put the little beads in the candle holder to keep the brushes standing erect! I absolutely adore the little thing and I know my sister feels great that I will forever be using the new brush holder I made out of the candle she purchased for me!
So thats my MAKE UP SPOT! I hope you all enjoy my posts! I'll have tons to say, tons of information to give, and tons of answers for your questions! Let me know what I can do to help!
