Life Happens

And sometimes life happens...

It's been an eventful couple months over here, but I think I'm finally back. I've definitely missed this little part of my life and am excited to get back in the swing of things. I logged into Blogger this week to find out that my Stila In The Light Palette tutorial was featured on 15 Minute Beauty! (Check it out here - 14 Stila In the Light Palette Tutorials to Try Now!) What a surprise considering I've been neglecting this blog! I can't even explain how excited I was to see that. =)

I haven't quite decided where I'm going to pick up this blog - if I'll go back and put together specific posts on things that I discovered during the past months, or if I'll just skip it and pick up right now. Until then, here's what you've missed:

* I went a little crazy with lip products. I'm pretty sure I doubled my collection.
* I re-discovered the Maybelline Whisper lip colors and now own over half the collection. Oops. =)
* I've been in love with the Marc Jacobs Lolita eye shadow palette. So worth the money!
* I purchased the Naked3 palette months ago and haven't touched it. Fail.
* I excitedly purchased a few Nyx Lip Butters and was disappointed until I watched Jennifer's and Alli's reviews.
* I've totally fallen in love with Maybelline's Master Glaze Blush Sticks.

I'm sure there's more, but those are the highlights. Hope everyone's been well and having a good start to 2014!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Tutorial

Pigs are flying! I finally used my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette! Alright, so I only used two shades, but that's way better than I've done over the past 4 months. (Has it really been that long?) This look is super simple and really pretty for the spring. It's just a fresh, bright rosy look. Hope you enjoy! Step 1: Start with a base or primer. I uesd a Sigma Eyeshadow Base in Provoke which is just a nude base color. Then apply Burnout over all but the very outer corner of your upper lid. Step 2: Apply Buzz in the outer corner. Step 3: Line your top lash line with a dark brown to create a softer look. I used Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel. Step 4: Line your waterline and inner corner in white. I used Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in 07 Pure White. Step 5: Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I used a combination of L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black. Face: It Cosmetics ...

Disney Caribbean Beach Dec 2024 - Day 2

Disney Day 2! Hotel + Party day! I got awesome sleep the night before. It's kind of nice ending the day with Animal Kingdom because then the park closes well before bedtime. I woke up feeling good, almost like I didn't need a relaxing morning and afternoon, but knew it was going to be a long night and I would rather be feeling good for the whole party instead of falling asleep lol. Prepare for a bunch of Skyliner pictures. And Christmas party pictures... I took my time getting up and ready and then headed over to Riviera to get some breakfast. I can't tell you how much I love the menu at Primo Piatto. And that's saying something - I just don't care all that much about food. I like it plain. Though I do like it pretty! Anyways, there's a bunch of things on the menu that sound awesome when usually I only get a few options, so I knew I wanted to try it. (Spoiler, I actually didn't even each at Caribbean Beach lol.) I mobile ordered and then went to check ou...

Sometimes you just need a break...I mean, God

Today is Sunday. I worked out today. I did BBG Week 15 Abs + planks and a circuit of standing ab exercises. Yesterday I did BBG Week 15 Arms. And before that, I worked out....last Sunday. And I haven't ran for a solid 10 days. And I'm not "scheduled" to run for another 4 days. I KNOW. I fully remember that I'm training for a half marathon. I KNOW. But I am honestly not worried about it. I believe it was all part of the plan. His plan. I needed a break. I knew that I needed a break. But I fully under-estimated how much I needed a break. {Insert forced break.} Except this break was not just a physical break. I was not just physically tired. Though I was well past physically tired. I was also mentally tired. I have a LOT on my plate right now, and I got WAY overwhelmed. Like WAY past overwhelmed. And I was spiritually tired, almost empty. I was filled because of all that was going on, but the weight of everything was dragging me down and I just simply nee...
