Most of my posts will be about nail polish, makeup, pen pals, and card making. I'll also throw in random posts from my every day life. Enjoy!

They sell pressed eyeshadows, highlights, nail polish and other beauty items. I purchased several eyeshadows from Heather at Feather River Body and I'd like to share a couple looks with you today. I haven't swatched the shadows yet, but I'm hoping to get to that soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
The shadows shipped the day after I ordered them, talk about quick shipping. They were packaged nicely and all arrived intact. They are individually packaged in a cardboard container, and have metallic pans with the names on the back for easy reference. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaop6biO9S-z4-Qv0h9GZI11xjo7S7UDnluRDaHFo48PfvZjPMKC5I75S-Jq_Ls4PPC9cC7xfB2tW_oBQPdoA4wNsZalCfR3p7jVzgNt0wbMuHcWJOdqh-Eb0XV7qWM1ZuA1WqKycNoo/s1600/IMG_4479.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaop6biO9S-z4-Qv0h9GZI11xjo7S7UDnluRDaHFo48PfvZjPMKC5I75S-Jq_Ls4PPC9cC7xfB2tW_oBQPdoA4wNsZalCfR3p7jVzgNt0wbMuHcWJOdqh-Eb0XV7qWM1ZuA1WqKycNoo/s400/IMG_4479.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
These are the colors I got. They are all beautiful and I can't wait to use them all. They are professionally pressed and look very nice in my metal palette.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is the close up of the look I did. I used about four shadows to get this look. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented and were very easy to apply.<br />

Lost Princess is featured in this look. This is the color I was most excited about trying upon receiving my package. It is such a bright gorgeous color that made the blue of my eyes pop. I am so in love with this color.<br />

A while back I participated in a challenge with a couple friends on Instagram where we did a look based on our favorite holiday. One of my favorite holidays is Easter, and I knew this was the palette that I needed to use to create my look. Here are a few photos of my look.<br />

The next makeup assignment I did for Vizio Makeup Academy is Smokey Eye. I used to be scared of using black eyeshadow in any capacity. This assignment made me get way out of my comfort zone. I was scared and nervous, but after a bit of time, it became easier and I was less nervous. <br />
<br />

<br />
The part I was most concerned about was blending it out and not looking like a panda with harsh lines. It took a while but it ended up working out. This look is darker than I'm used to, but it grew on me. I did this look back in July, and since then, I've branched out and started to wear darker colors.<br />

Though this look doesn't look very "natural" to me, I still like it! I normally don't wear eyeliner, but I believe it definitely made this look!<br />

On a daily basis I don't highlight and contour, but when I have extra time or a special occasion, I add the extra effort.<br />
<br />
I used the contour products that came with the makeup set that is part of the makeup academy. I was impressed with the cream products! The colors worked well on my skin and blended nicely. Here is my before photo using the contouring map provided with the assignment.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4j1xJphkQM8MPV3D3Gq4VdC-xMQcjbfbibahThVhhnYVQskqFZiyeJ2wPTarNsJrKbk1fnnpG6bgMzurHhwcOJxnCTM-Xea03oh2orJ-jIFOtJv4DHbl6KyyrB1AjHy6EDhe6q86080Y/s1600/IMG_0230.PNG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4j1xJphkQM8MPV3D3Gq4VdC-xMQcjbfbibahThVhhnYVQskqFZiyeJ2wPTarNsJrKbk1fnnpG6bgMzurHhwcOJxnCTM-Xea03oh2orJ-jIFOtJv4DHbl6KyyrB1AjHy6EDhe6q86080Y/s400/IMG_0230.PNG" /></a><br />
<br />
And here is the after photo. I may have blended away some of the contouring I applied, but I'd rather have that then the lines show. I'll have to continue with my highlighting and contouring skills.<br />
<br />

Thank you to those who have stuck around with me! I have a new adventure I'd like to share with you! I have decided to sign up for an online makeup school through Vizio Makeup Academy. I've heard many great things about this academy, and I'm looking forward to learning to skills and to enhance what I already know. Here are some pictures of the makeup that came with the kit.<br />

She was here for the weekend and we had a blast! One of the places we visited was the Ice Museum at Chena Hot Springs Resort. This was my first visit to the museum, and it had exceeded my expectations! We took so many photos that I wanted to share with you all, and instead of showing them individually, I tried making a few collages! I hope you enjoy these photos!<br />

Essential oils have so many great properties, and I love seeing what they can do to help my day to day life. Here are two things I've made recently that I thought you might be interested in. <br />
<br />
The first thing I'd like to share is a rollerball blend that I use to help me sleep at night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9SIL80nEdLI75PLPFoNDo5Xms2BvO4PEHqPY-wVENZJFtwb3BiV0NQLHLrg2-pOx8rm9DLFN23w3m9FT1NAcWHb-tSBB0geCA1L-4tWekF2vhyphenhyphenM_qXR4OLqzp3NwrGbw-2aGntNG5020/s1600/IMG_0338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9SIL80nEdLI75PLPFoNDo5Xms2BvO4PEHqPY-wVENZJFtwb3BiV0NQLHLrg2-pOx8rm9DLFN23w3m9FT1NAcWHb-tSBB0geCA1L-4tWekF2vhyphenhyphenM_qXR4OLqzp3NwrGbw-2aGntNG5020/s1600/IMG_0338.JPG" /></a></div>
I mixed lavender oil, <a href="http://www.edensgarden.com/" target="_blank">Eden's Garden</a> Relaxation blend, and Eden's Garden Four Thieves blend with Sweet Almond Oil. I reused a rollerball bottle I had and kept that label. Every time I make this blend I change things up a little, but generally, I add about 8 or 9 drops each of Relaxation and lavender oil, and one or two drops of Four Thieves, then fill the rest with sweet almond oil in a 10ml rollerball. Every night, I apply this blend to the bottom of my feet and sometimes to the back of my neck. <br />
<br />
The next idea I'd like to share is DIY Poo-Pourri. The idea behind this product is to spray it in the toilet prior to going poo... and supposedly no one will know. I've made this as a funny gift, but it actually works, and I've had people request I make them more! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I got the recipe from <a href="http://essentialoilbenefits.org/diy-bathroom-toilet-spray/" target="_blank">here</a>. This recipe makes a few bottles, which is perfect for gifts or multiple bathrooms. I've made this spray with many different blends of essential oils, it's fun to play around to come up with different combinations. The last time I made this, I used a blend of grapefruit, bergamot, and lemongrass. <br />
<br />
What kind of DIY projects do you like to make? Would you ever use an item like Poo-Pourri? <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />

We took many pictures and I wanted to share them ALL with you! Instead, I chose five to share. The drive was absolutely beautiful, and we had beautiful weather the whole way. Thank you sis for such an awesome weekend!<br />

I knew after seeing that polish that I had to order! Colour Alike is based in Poland, their polishes are 5-free and cruelty free! Here is the first color I tried, #511. Most of the polishes don't have names, only numbers.<br />

On the ring finger I added<strong> </strong>Pure Ice Shimmer-Wing Rose. It didn't show up in the photos as much as real life. I liked the added subtle shimmer!<br />

After my last post I decided I wasn't going to do empties for a while because I had company coming and needed to toss all my trash. However, after a while, I decided to start saving my trash because I enjoyed showing it to you last time! So this does not include all my trash since I last posted. <br />

* Olay Shine Shine Go Away-got this in a Walmart Box and I liked it. I don't have a shine issue, but it felt nice. I won't repurchase only because I like other cleansers better.<br />
<br />
* Dry Oil Body Spray I made-I LOVED this stuff. I'm going to make a post about this eventually. I'm going to make more later on.<br />
<br />
* Bath and Body Works Fresh Sparkling Snow hand wash-I love these hand washes, but I'm not going to purchase many more because they are pretty spendy (but they do smell delicious!). <br />
<br />
* Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy for dandruff- I don't have dandruff, but I LOVE this shampoo. Cleans my hair nicely and smells wonderful. Will repurchase when I need more. <br />
<br />
* St. Ives Apricot Scrub-I love this scrub. I've used it several times over the years. I like it, but will probably make my next scrub.<br />
<br />
* Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Mandarin & Tiare Flower scent- this is the second one of these and I like the scent. Dove makes great body washes.<br />
<br />
* Mally Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightener Pen- I'd wanted to try this product for FOREVER! So when I finally got it, I was excited. However, my skin is far too light to notice any difference with this product. It felt great and blended well, but I didn't see a brightening effect. I won't repurchase.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
* Beauty Rush lip balm from Victoria Secret-I love this lip balm, it is nice and thick for night time. Will repurchase.<br />
<br />
* Josie Maran Argan Balms- I bought a couple sets of these a while back and have been using them like crazy. They are amazing and feel wonderful on my skin. I mainly use them for my hands. I will repurchase.<br />
<br />
* Nivia Soft Cream- This felt strange on my skin, so I tossed it out after using it twice. Will not repurchase.<br />
<br />
*Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh perfume sample- Love this perfume. Would repurchase if I needed more perfume, but I don't :)<br />
<br />
* Loreal Magic Perfecting Base- I loved this face primer, and I'll probably repurchase.<br />
<br />

Have you tried any of these items? What did you think??<br />

I had never heard of Ebelskivers before, so I had to do a little research. Turns out they are Danish pancakes that can be filled and are oh so delicious. <br />
<br />
Here is the pan I have-it is a Nordic Ware pan. It is a great pan and worked well for me. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here are the wood tongs used to flip the Ebelskivers (I think any skewer type object would work, but these feel super fancy!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Here is the mix I used. I have enough mix to make another batch. After that, I'm going to try to make some from scratch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6mK3WaxOnMKncbS2ZFt36_aFXzVAfJ1pcsFTlKtHcPr9t1nh6vCzITQ0tVcSBv2SShySemjrBCotYe1Kj2SDa5iHLpnBo-gPLkLpnoqmv_z94gtGDCjsOncNxi2kCi-axIL98Lwrvx5E/s1600/IMG_0820.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6mK3WaxOnMKncbS2ZFt36_aFXzVAfJ1pcsFTlKtHcPr9t1nh6vCzITQ0tVcSBv2SShySemjrBCotYe1Kj2SDa5iHLpnBo-gPLkLpnoqmv_z94gtGDCjsOncNxi2kCi-axIL98Lwrvx5E/s320/IMG_0820.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The Ebelskivers in the pan after I poured some batter in, added some jelly, then topped them off with more batter. They only took a couple minutes to cook until I turned them over.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUQz7qWQnSTEFrmLZgas97u2VhchMOhbtM_SEC8zgVk99utM2OOlR5r5DYlxxzbOW9N0d8y2ZtCf9TpLZlWUyJAM03h70LXv9YVo-WqI_1jUMsHxnt3wLhiXekyWVQDk20nzE3DMwOV8/s1600/IMG_0817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUQz7qWQnSTEFrmLZgas97u2VhchMOhbtM_SEC8zgVk99utM2OOlR5r5DYlxxzbOW9N0d8y2ZtCf9TpLZlWUyJAM03h70LXv9YVo-WqI_1jUMsHxnt3wLhiXekyWVQDk20nzE3DMwOV8/s320/IMG_0817.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the final product. I added some syrup to mine, which was not necessary, but still tasted yummy nonetheless. I forgot to take a picture of the inside goodness when I was eating them, but trust me, they were delicious. <br />
<br />
Next time I make them I would like to try to add some chocolate inside. Have you ever tried Ebelskivers? What are your favorite recipes and fillings?<br />
<br />

On to the nails!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
June 21- First Day of Summer. I used Daily Hues Nail Lacquer in Juliana (love the name!) and added a couple Sinful Colors Nail Tattoos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVextHqZ-JjRWc3QmBaTYLZiWeEHhr-9AIg4odNYonN1RsM0zn8jNBsyQI2L8BxxtQjgDmxp2b56D1Bm7c5TTdgZBYuINy0N3DeY8le4Poa3sgpf7bE6qTthYcj5tswOj-GxykY5dRlp4/s1600/IMG_0831.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVextHqZ-JjRWc3QmBaTYLZiWeEHhr-9AIg4odNYonN1RsM0zn8jNBsyQI2L8BxxtQjgDmxp2b56D1Bm7c5TTdgZBYuINy0N3DeY8le4Poa3sgpf7bE6qTthYcj5tswOj-GxykY5dRlp4/s1600/IMG_0831.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
June 23- National Pink Day. I used Pure Ice Flirt Alert, Sonia Kashuk White Lie, and Icing OMG.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqUSVU9iNUkknGfsav6x-QzA12ZH3SRxq-ebver9vHPfbpZcYbMnRGdt95PkgrHMrTSlIUTuCFDYbW91WSAaIeaKyJqY_XEZcRWdNhsKUrpMgOce6wi-hWc6K8OWhzMfGRgQ7nDbhhdo/s1600/IMG_0844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqUSVU9iNUkknGfsav6x-QzA12ZH3SRxq-ebver9vHPfbpZcYbMnRGdt95PkgrHMrTSlIUTuCFDYbW91WSAaIeaKyJqY_XEZcRWdNhsKUrpMgOce6wi-hWc6K8OWhzMfGRgQ7nDbhhdo/s1600/IMG_0844.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
June 26- Fav Neon. I love neons, and can't pick just one favorite one. Here I used two coats of unnamed Dollar Tree skull polish on top of a white base. I added Loreal Masked Affair on the ring finger, but it turned out streaky.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicDakPggczCE71UwfylTgD4qT5wMjD5sDRvaR7GQYDQ-RFKMBWFKjAo4ns5l0gsA9XaC3Q40klXfMOigAn1s-SNliaFQOhuqJDrFu2Qh3mIPatgoG_l52XT7H17BJuBGotpGK4vseUu9U/s1600/IMG_1202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicDakPggczCE71UwfylTgD4qT5wMjD5sDRvaR7GQYDQ-RFKMBWFKjAo4ns5l0gsA9XaC3Q40klXfMOigAn1s-SNliaFQOhuqJDrFu2Qh3mIPatgoG_l52XT7H17BJuBGotpGK4vseUu9U/s1600/IMG_1202.JPG" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
July 01- Canada Day. I had a hard time finding a red nail polish, so I tried a technique using red acrylic paint. I mixed a little water with the paint, dabbed it on my nails (base is Sonia Kashuk White Lie again), then removed the excess water with the same brush. These nails look a little Dexter-ish. Besides them looking like blood splattered nails, I like how they turned out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
July 04- Independence Day. Cinema Swatch Lacquer Chiyo (blue base) and Sonia Kashuk White Lie with Kraftygurl Designs Liberty Belle on top. Love the glitter topper! It is so fun and festive!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG19TjPunqkLs7jSLaz1NcMbsznzdBiZ_1tPAZTA9WBkMsVTCFTQyMQ705tPXWUjs0HsPQj2XBHJ9pXo7b3-PQa8B76OvRPPaegA7_yvdH9Ay6PaFMoxw0jzdRcR4f55e7wLIRuKLqKEs/s1600/IMG_0872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG19TjPunqkLs7jSLaz1NcMbsznzdBiZ_1tPAZTA9WBkMsVTCFTQyMQ705tPXWUjs0HsPQj2XBHJ9pXo7b3-PQa8B76OvRPPaegA7_yvdH9Ay6PaFMoxw0jzdRcR4f55e7wLIRuKLqKEs/s1600/IMG_0872.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
July 07-Chocolate Day. I used MDJ Creations Lumina with Loaded Lacquer Dark Chocolate Truffle on top. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8v-K9UZx8c3IOkoqsrR5hbiaMJ2yJ995-X12xQzqfhh0VaFcssXViTGDxxtcVImwar7Of5tbOUOH5sXmv3ByN5Q7tPKvmqFPqj7QtfEdWhRbIXA9cezvGYtaXKUZEMGSfPVF4dnxMsTU/s1600/IMG_1672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8v-K9UZx8c3IOkoqsrR5hbiaMJ2yJ995-X12xQzqfhh0VaFcssXViTGDxxtcVImwar7Of5tbOUOH5sXmv3ByN5Q7tPKvmqFPqj7QtfEdWhRbIXA9cezvGYtaXKUZEMGSfPVF4dnxMsTU/s1600/IMG_1672.JPG" /></a></div>

I love matte nails, and love trying to stamp as well, so I combined the two. For this manicure, I used Violet Abnegation from the Divergent set from Sephora, and Stamped with Mundo de Uñas Cream. I absolutely love my polishes from MDU! They stamp nicely, and have a large color range. I used Zoya Matte topcoat.<br />

I'll continue to post them because there are a few beauties!<br />
<br />
Day 16 is Holo. I love holo and have several holo polishes. There is one that stands out and instantly became a favorite-Loaded Lacquer Clark, Glitter's Full from her 2014 Ha-Ha-Holiday collection. This polish is such a beauty and has great formula. Another lovely polish from Heather!<br />

I've been trying to use a bunch of untried polishes, and here is another one. This is Buddy Vampire by Superchic Lacquer. This polish is so gorgeous and has beautiful red and purple glitters throughout the deep purple base. I used three coats for opacity. They applied nicely and cleanup was not an issue.<br />

I've never done leadlighting, and quite frankly I don't know much about that technique. However, I did have a white polish I've been wanting to use for a while now, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity.<br />

This is Darling Diva Polish Soap...Poisoning. It has a very sheer milky base with glitters that are meant to represent soap bubbles. I used three coats here and didn't like how it looked on my nails. However, I think this would be a beautiful polish layered on top of something more opaque.<br />

They are one of my favorite types of nail art, so I was excited to try out a few new polishes for this prompt. Well, the blue did not work out well for the gradient. I was a bit bummed with the blue not working well, however, they remind me a bit of tie die nails. I used two unnamed colors made by Mariposa (purchased in Canada last year).<br />

After doing this gradient, I also decided I need to purchase some kind of barrier product to help with clean up. Do you have any recommendations?<br />

On one hand I'm saddened that I haven't worn it before now because it is so gorgeous, but had I worn it earlier, I'm not sure that I would have experienced the full beauty due to lack of sun. This polish definitely shines in the sun! I can't stop staring at them. <br />

Heather is an awesome glitter mixologist, and is such a sweetie. A while ago I wanted to do a mani and couldn't figure out what to do. Loaded Lacquer No Bra and Condemned were sitting next to each other, so I figured I'd try to do something with both of them together. Surprisingly, the colors work very well together! <br />

It is no longer available, but I wanted to share this post to let you know how awesome these Sephora brand products are. This palette includes 72 eyeshadows, 28 lipglosses, 8 blushes, 4 two in one creams for cheeks and lips, 18 cream eyeliners, 6 makeup tutorials and 2 mirrors. Here are some pictures from the palette!<br />

I absolutely love this palette. The shadows and blushes have great pigmentation, the lipglosses feel lovely, and the eyeliners add a nice subtle look. I love how this palette looks like a bow when it is all put together, and it looks so neat when you open the "arms" on the palette. I loved everything in this palette! If you haven't tried any of the Sephora brand products, I suggest you give them a try! <br />

save my trash and make my own! These are empties for the past couple
months-I hope you enjoy looking at my trash!<br />

These are some perfume samples I've gotten from my sister from Sephora. I loved all of these perfumes. It's always fun trying new perfumes, especially samples!<br />

The top item is Bare Minerals Well Rested in liquid form. The concept was nice, but it didn't make a difference in my makeup. It did make for a nice subtle highlight, but I have plenty of highlights. I didn't finish this one, but decided to toss it because I rarely reached for it. The Olay eye cream felt nice on the under part of my eyes. There are three metal balls that felt cool when you roll them under your eyes. I didn't notice any difference when using this product, but it felt nice. Next up is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara. I almost tossed this one right away. The brush is HUGE. Not just a little big, but ginormous! I had a hard time getting used to this brush, but once I did, I loved the mascara. I wont repurchase solely based on the brush. The Rimmel Exaggerage eye primer did not work well at all. I tried it a few times and gave up. The small mascara is made by Markwins I believe. It worked okay, wasn't awesome, but wasn't bad. <br />

I got the Eclos skin renewal Clay Mask as part of a box from Freeman. This mask felt amazing! I got several uses out of this packet. If I were in the market for a mask, I'd definitely keep this one in mind. I received the Apirita Express Beauty with aloe mask from a friend and it was nice. I preferred the Eclos one though. The Elemental Herbology Moisture Milk broke out my skin as soon as I used it. I gave it another shot and it did the same. Needless to say, I didn't finish this. The Ralph Lauren Midnight Romance perfume smells AMAZING! I almost want to purchase a whole bottle!! The Smashbox lipgloss in VIP Pink was a beautiful color, great formula, but smells disgusting. I couldn't stand it, so in the trash it goes.<br />

This Biore face wash feels amazing! I loved how it felt on my face and how it made my skin feel. I definitely recommend this face wash! This Tresemme Hairspray is by far my favorite hairspray. I've purchased multiple cans of it, and I'll continue to purchase this hairspray. I got these Olay wipes in a Walmart beauty box. I LOVE them! I don't generally use makeup wipes, but I used these in my makeup for theatre class, and they worked AWESOME! I recommend these to anyone who uses wipes. They worked amazing. </div>

My sister gave me the Bath and Body Works Pomegranate Lemon Cream lotion and boy does it smell amazing. It didn't take me long to use up the bottle. I loved the scent of the Philosophy Crispy Marshmallow Bars body wash/bubble bath. It is a nice product, however, I think it is overpriced. I probably wont repurchase solely on the price. The Eclos anti-aging super concentrate night booster fluid smelled nice and felt good on the skin, though, I'm not sure it did much for my skin. Sometimes its difficult to determine if something works when I don't use it for a long time. The Avon Anew clinical advanced retexturizing peel seemed to work nice. This is my second tub. I feel like it helped keep my skin clear and smooth. <br /><br />

The UD Pore Perfecting complexion primer potion sample seemed nice, but it wasn't anything I'd run out and buy. I have lower end primers that I like better. Essie Matte About You is an amazing top coat, but it dried up after not using it for a while. Lush Lemony Flutter. This was the first thing I've ever purchased from Lush. I loved it, I love how it feels and smells! The Disturbed Potions Vanilla Jasmine Mango Intense Cuticle Cream is probably one of my favorite cuticle creams. It works like a charm. I'm not a fan of Jasmine scent, but I was able to get over it. This stuff is amazing. If you get a chance to try her stuff, I suggest you do! I didn't finish this Nivia Lip Butter. I like it, but I have found a new love-Lypsil. These Nivia Lip Butters are pretty nice, though. Finally, the Jose Maran Argan Balms are super amazing. I purchased a couple sets of these argan balms, and have loved every one of them. I've only been using them on my hands, but they can be used for multiple things.<br />

Almost
two months ago I posted my goals for January. Obviously I failed at
one of them-try to be more active on my blog. Well, needless to say,
that didn't happen. I suppose I didn't take into consideration how much
time school would take and how much energy I wouldn't have to blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The next goal: Drink more water. Well, I did good some days, and other days, not so good...<br />
<br />
Make more time for family and friends. I tried, but it didn't work out as much as I had hoped... I'm definitely going to try to keep in better communication with everyone.<br />
<br />
Begin the list for the Use Your Hoard Challenge. Didn't happen. I have purged some craft items, but that is as far as I got. <br />
<br />
I'm not planning on making any more goals at this time due to time constraints! But in the meantime, I'm planning on trying this recipe:<br />
