Hey beauty babes!

Ya'll know what a brush roll is it, right? Okay, so... I made one! Now lets start with this... I do not, and I repeat do not sew. AT ALL! So, the fact that I was able to concoct this brush roll into looking the way it looks and functioning the way it does, someone ought to give me a cookie... more like a cookie times infinity! I almost broke my new sewing machine several times due to my incompetence and lack of hand eye coordination. I am lucky to still be alive and that sewing machine is definitely lucky it didnt get thrown through my window! haha

On a happier note, this gosh darn brush roll is so stinkin' cute, and it really makes me love it even more because I made it!! Here is what it looks like! Don't make fun! hahaha It's the very first one I've ever owned, nonetheless the very first thing I've ever sewn! I refused to go with the "this is my practice one" attitude because I literally was having so much trouble making it that I was bound to make this one as perfect as can be so I didn't ever have to make another one! hahaha


Just wanted to say... you can still see the chalk lines (on the black fabric) all over the place because I needed some cheats to help me along the way. I didn't clean it up too well because I was excited to take pics and show you!

Hi Dolls!

I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already noticed) I put up some pages at the top of my blog. I added some new photos, a blog roll, an inside look to who I am (under My Story), contact information, and soon to come my Wishlist. I have so much on my wishlist - I just havent really had the chance to write them all down.. it's coming soon!

This is a much needed announced E.L.F Haul. I purchased quite a few things from E.L.F about a month or so ago and then I decided I wanted to try out MORE things, so I just waited on blogging about them until I had everything together and I tested most of the things.

I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!

I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!

Warm Bronzer High Definition Powder Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I absolutely love the warm bronzer. It's got a super light sparkle to it, but nothing crazy. It's perfect for my skin tone even when I use self tanner. I havent used the HD Powder yet, but I have heard it compares to the MUFE HD Powder, and if that's the case then it's going to be perfect! The Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder is kinda dark for me right now. The blush in the pic (sorry about that) looks very pale, but it's very similar to Nars Orgasm. I'm not too crazy about the blush right now but I know in the Spring and Summer I'll definitely be putting it to use!

Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Black and Smoke Defining Eye Brush Professional Eye Shadow Brush Professional Lip Defining Brush (2) Eye Shadow "C" Brushes Powder Brush

I haven't used the Eyeliner & Shadow Stick, but when I do I'll let you know how it turned out for me! The rest of the brushes are FAB! The 5 brushes in the center all work great! I was really hesitant. I typically use MAC brushes and I wasn't sure how these would compare, but they are really great. I use the Lip Defining Brush for my lip balms (so I dont have to use my fingers) and the bristles dont clump or fall out and it applies just the amount I want/need. I use the "C" brushes for cream eye shadows and I have had no problem with them! The last brush is one of my ultimate favorites! I heard so much good stuff about it, that I had to have it! It's a powder brush that can be used with liquid foundation too! I use it to apply my Bobby Brown Moisture Rich Foundation and it's applies it so flawlessly, I'm in love! I have the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki that I also use and they are veryyy similar. I will do a review on that in another post, but this brush is simply perfect! These are all simple and easy to clean and are really excellent quality.

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

I just swatched these colors for you quickly. I really havent worn any of these colors for more then 2 minutes. I can tell you that they are very pigmented. I absolutely loved the way they looked on me even with how I applied them. My favories are the last two: Mango Madness and Lilac. I will be painting my nails this week a new color and one of them will hit the top spot. I'll keep you updated!

Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Mellow Melon

Love this lip balm! Smells yummy and tastes yummy! If you have read my posts you know that I love to lick my gloss off. Haha So I always taste and comment on everything I put on my lips! It goes on smooth and like I said, tastes fab! It's a peachy color and just cute to throw on when you're on the go!

Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

I do not like the conditioning balm in Strawberry Cream. Yuck! It tastes miserable! It just reminds me of the times I accidentally get my hair conditioner in my mouth when I'm showering. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens. lol) It just has these super gross taste and it looks bad on my lips too! Bad buy! The gloss in Vixen, tastes fab and goes on cute too! Very pigmented gloss and does come up like an orange/red color. I love it! And the gloss in Clear was just for a quick pick me up if I'm on the go or if I am wearing a matte lipstick that needs some lovin'. It's super glossy and alittle sticky, but I dont mind that. I actually love glosses that way because I dont lick them off as quick! hahaha

Tinted Moisturizer in Honey Tinted Moisturizer in Apricot Beige Tone Correcting Concealer in Apricot Beige

I initially purchased the TM in Apricot Beige and it was just the perfect color of my face. I dont really mind if I am just trying to hide my rosacea, but I do want some color if I am leaving the house with just tinted moisturizer on so I purchased it in Honey. It gives me alittle more color without overdoing me. Its nothing special but it does the trick and I cant complain. I use a Sephora brand TM and their's is more pigmented and lasts longer, but c'mon this was a buck! I'm really not complaining. As you can see I havent opened the concealer. I use a MAC concealer presently and just havent had the opportunity to play around with this yet. I will eventually and keep you updated!
