Get Ready With Me 1

So I have had some issues uploading my video onto this sight so I will post the link down below so you can go right to it on YouTube =)

What's funny about this video is that it should have posted AFTER the one I am posting today lol!! You will see Aaron coming in and out because I had to help him get ready, deal with a big spider and so much more.  This video and the next are a bit long because I go into detail of the products I use, and why they are good---like a review,  I apologize for them being long, I will start having just review videos and just tutorials coming soon.  I want my blog to be for all types of women and girls who always wear makeup and ones that have never been comfortable wearing makeup so I want to mix it up a bit so that people new makeup understand the importance of certain products...Also, I am new to Blogging/Vlogging and learning...but hey you have to start some where right?  So, please enjoy this video and let me know what you think!  What products do you use?  Also, please follow me on YOUTUBE, and subscribe to by Blog!  Have a great day!

Milani NEON Nail Polish

I went to my local CVS store and they had Milani Cosmetics on sale buy one get on 50% off.  I love these products!! So I started looking at the polishes.... I noticed the NEON collection.  I tried a few out and was only impressed by one.... the 505 Dude Blue it is a deep electric blue and it only took one coat and it covered beautifully!!! I don't think it would need a second coat.  The 2 other colors that I tried I am not so found of.... the 507 Pink Hottie and 508 Pink ROCKS!  Pink Hottie, is a Bubble Gum pink and not so much a Neon, and Pink ROCKS! would be classified as a pink/magenta color, both are pretty but sheer.  I think this is the formula L'oreal was going for with their "jelly" line this summer. You could build these 2 colors and still have the sheer effect, but the formula is very thin, and does not give you the NEON you would be wanting.  There are 4 other colors available that I would like to try out at some point.  I will post a picture of the colors on my nails.  The 505 is on my thumb, 507 is on my index finger, and 508 is on my middle finger.  You will be able to tell the pink formulas are a little runny because of build up around the cuticles.  What are your favorite Neon colors?

What to Wear Wednesday

I was nicely tucked into my bed when all of a sudden I was awaken by dogs barking and my kitchen light turned on.  It was my daughter... exercising her right to stay up late.... so once she was put in bed, I tried to lay back down and with any luck my mind turned on and I could not go back to sleep.  All, I can think of is what all I have to do today for work, home, myself, and everyone else.  So, I figured I would turn on my computer watch a few videos with General Hospital playing in the background and take some quiet time.  With almost 2 hours before I have to be at work, when I almost always oversleep, I figure I will ATTEMPT to shower, dress nice, and MAYBE do my hair and makeup.... I know that is a stretch to get it all done, but HEY!  You have to start somewhere.  It's suppose to get to 100 degrees today and it will be a dry heat, so I am thinking a maxi skirt with a cotton tee, something that the air can breathe through!  How do you spend your time when you have a little extra time?  Hope you all have a happy Wednesday!!!

Tear Filled Makeup Days

With Graduations, kids moving off, and this time of year for me, its hard to want to do a full face makeup. I know that
 1. I could bust into tears at any moment and do not want to look like Alice Cooper (Cougar Town Reference)
2. I do not want to put energy into something that could ruin so easily.

I will give you a little back ground of what's going on in my world.  My "baby" just turned 7 on Monday and will be graduating from his little school that caters to Pre-k to First graders to the BIG school and starting 2nd grade on Friday.... meaning I will no longer have a little school kid any more.  Then my other 2 will be 5th graders and my oldest will be a 7th grader!!!! WOW how time flies!! On top of all of that, Sunday will be the one year anniversary since my mom passed away.  I am staying strong through all of this and miss her terribly, but this is an emotional time for me.  I still want to look good but do not want makeup streaks down my face so I have had a small makeup routine on hand.



1.  CLEAR MASCARA!
I have always used the Maybelline one they always have it and you can use it for your eyebrows too if needed.
Clear Mascara is great because it will give your eyelashes the definition you are wanting, allow you to look awake and alive with out it falling off your face at a drop of water works.... another plus, if you are having a stressful/busy week and needing a simple go to makeup routine like this all of these products will come off easily with not a lot of effort.

2.  Lipstick/Gloss/etc...
Everyone has their own preference of their go to feel good lip product, I like lip products that will be moisturizing and give a little bit of color at the same time like the Maybelline Baby Lips, they do the job of 2 products and it lasts forever!!!

3.  Powder/Powder Foundation (if needed for blemishes or coloration)
just something to throw on that takes 45 seconds that will stay on the Rimmel Matteyfing Powder does a great job and is affordable--- any drug store should have it

4.  Concealer
If needed you could use a concealer a great one is the yaby concealers THEY ARE TEAR PROOF!!! they have great coverage and super affordable!! I received mine in my IPSY bag and have not been disappointed!!

5.  Blush
Throw a little color on your cheeks if you want, you could even get a blush/ bronzer duo for the days you are feeling a like doing a little more.

Personally over the past few days I have been using Products 1 & 2, but I have all in a little bag if needed.  There are times we need a pick me up because even on our sadder days if you take care of your self, you feel good on the inside!  I hope you all have a great Thursday!!!
