She is having a very lovely giveaway that I would love to win. I love cute little things and she has them in her giveaway! Check it out here! Her blog is called Highlight your beauty, open your heart. So cute. :D

I just saw their facebook post about this product and was surprised how inexpensive it is! I was expecting at least $100.00, however less than $50.00! Click here and see how amazing it is.

It's a polisher for your face to get rid of the dry skin and helps prepare your face for makeup because it evens the skin. I have been wanting something that exfoliates my face and this is worth the price.
$39.99 baby!
Once I get this I will for sure talk about it all the time!

It is memorial day and we are going to a friend's house for a barbecue. I thought I would try something different today with my outfit.

• Shirt from Papaya
• Tank from a friend
• Purple pants from Target
• Sandals from 

I pretty much end up with a similar look almost every time because I love the grey smockey look with dash of color.
What I used:

• Toxic Love Spell on the lid and crease( a grey with bits of color sparckles)
• O'l 55 on the inner lid blending it out on the crease(bright blue).
• Birfday Suit on the brow bone(matte light brown).
• Icecream Daydream on the Tear Duct(metallic pink).
• Finally, O'l 55 on the water line. 

I now recently live in an area where it does not take too long to get to a farm or a winery. I live in a place where there are Farmer's markets every Saturdays. I love it! I love fresh food and homemade beauty products. Best of all, I love when you are able to pick berries!

The only down fall is that you need to work with the food fast or it will go bad quicker than store bought! You can look up a recipe for jam or freezer jam online or a cookbook. :) We got 12.8 pounds of Strawberries for $30! So much jammmmm!

First let me point out that I will try not to over state or get over excited when writing this review/info post. I just wanted to share with you beauties on what I have discovered.

• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• Hard Candy's eye primer
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• MSC Awesome Sauce

Go to their blog for more information. They are having a winner announced every month just by being a follower of their blog. You must fill out this form first. But you need to follow the blog. I love them! I am getting a new brush from them soon and will talk about it. Go check their brushes today!

I usually go to some place like Old Navy for cheap flip flops or sandals. However, I saw these at Famous Footwear on sale for $20! I believe they are originally about $35, I forget because I saw the sale price haha.

I am excited for cute sandals instead of plain ones that wear down fast.  I may be getting new walking shoes because I need some. What are your favorite sandals?

Check out Lipgloss Love Affair's giveaway. It's super awesome with how much she is giving away. It's so nice of her!

About a month ago I took the pledge to buy products that do not test on animals. With that being said, I wanted to do a update on how I have been doing with that. Because I do not buy things that often, the only beauty purchase I have made since that pledge was Madd Style Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow, which are Vegan, so yay!

Basically I have been struggling a bit on my pledge. I did not realize now hard it is for me to not give in on a few products.

The #1 product I want to buy
Nars Sheer Glow liquid foundation

My struggle
I got a sample of it, and the sheer matte, about three months ago(before I pledged!). I still have those and still use it from time to time and I LOVE THEM! I hate how I want Sheer Glow so badly because it's a foundation that works well with my skin more than others do. Plus, it has very amazing coverage without it feeling heavy.

*sigh*

I am struggling big time!

What am I going to do?
Try my darn hardest not to give in because I simply love this product, and as far as I know, Nars tests on animals. :(

If you took the pledge, what are your struggles?

I finally got my new piggies! I am so happy with the picks I chose!
What colors I got:

• Polkadot Punch
• Space Oddity
• Ol' 55
• Phantasm
• Icecream Daydream
• In the Buff
• Secret Sinner
• Burf'day Suit
• Tiny Dancer

It is another MSC face of the day! I have to tell you I have been using this brand only since I got the Shamrock Collection almost two months ago. I cannot express how much this brand is amazing in cost, pigmentation, color range, staying power, and freakin beautiful shimmer!

HOW TO GET THIS LOOK

• First you need are the three colors: Toxic Love Spell, Bon Bon Blitz, and In the Buff.
• First thing you do is take awesome sauce and take a little bit and spread it all over the eye area. Let it dry for about five mins.
• Take In the Buff and pat that all over. (this is matte)
• Then take Bon Bon Blitz and pat that on your lid and a little on your crease.
• Take Toxic Love Spell(LOVE IT!) and put that in your crease and V.
• Take a brush and concealer and clean up whatever eye area that has color from your piggies.
• Take any black eye liner and line your eyes thinly.
• Then take whatever mascara you like and finish the look!

I just received my second shipment of MSC! I got 11 new piggies to play with and I am super excited to do so. I tried out a few just now before work and wanted to make a little post about it. Plus, I thought my hair was super cute today.

How to get the look

• Piggies to use: Tiny Dancer, Birf'day Suit, and Space Oddity.
• Get your brush and sweep Birf'day Suit all over your lid and brow bone.
• Then get Tiny Dancer and put that all over your lid and slightly on the crease.
• Take Space Oddity and blend it well in the V and crease.
• Add a little more Birf'day Suit on your brow bone to soften Space Oddity so it won't look harsh.
• That's it!
• Add Mascara and you have your simple MSC look!
