Makeup Obsessions

Thats right the title to this piece is Makeup obsessions, and for us women that's the funnest part of our day! Trying new makeup is a joy and what's not better then hearing whats hot from one woman to another. Lets start this off right with my must-have foundations.

My first makeup obsession is the NEW urban decay Naked Skin foundation.
When I heard about this foundation I must say I was a little skeptical at first. The launch of this product claims its like a second skin and leaves a demi matte natural finish, and I must say it REALLY does!! The formula helps skin achieve a natural bright finish its simply beautiful. Its a very Buildable coverage,but it is a medium coverage but you can build your coverage up if desired. Another amazing plus is the range of shades and numbering system from warm tones (ending in “.0”) and cool skin tones (ending in “.5”)  that was so genious!!! The finish is matte, never flat, and luminous, but not shiny. One down side and thats it just one is the product is very liquidy and drying...but I love this foundation and love that natural air brushed finish it creates.

My second makeup obsessed foundation is Revlon's colorstay whipped foundation. It is such a nice full coverage foundation that goes on like silk and leaves your skin simply flawless. The new colorstay whipped creme makeup is everything that the original colorstay was, minus the cakey finish. The application of  the foundation looks good when you first apply it and as the day goes on it looks even BETTER.  I'm so impressed with Revlon's quality recently and this product claims to last 24 hrs and I honestly feel like it definitely stands by its claim. I can wear this all day and my foundation will not wear off.. even in the humidity. The only pitfall to this product is I feel like Revlon could of done a better job on the range of colors say like Loreal true match did with their foundation. All in all I say the packaging is so glamorous and looks expensive,  and the product is amazing. Can't go wrong with this foundation especially for your buck :)


My next favorite is Still Glamorus cosmetics, and if you've never heard of this makeup line I will tell you why: This is a NEW makeup line from a Beauty Guru on Youtube: kasey that I recently heard about who runs her own cosmetic company and makes her own pigments. Yes you heard right kasey makes her own makeup. Her pigments are stunning and richly colorful, They are packed in 5 gram jars and never fails to amaze me. The line carries a range of products from pigments, lipsticks, eyeshadows, glow blushes, primers and more. So all and all I really Love her makeup and I'm Obsessing over how great her makeup is!! My favorite color pigments are Goddess (shown above),Vintage, Jazzy, and Nude beach.  Kasey has done a wonderful job with her makeup and it's worth a try to check it out. I included her Link down below.  http://stillglamorus.com/category_14/Pigments.htm




This makeup obsessed product is Smashbox's Hydrating Photo Finish Primer. This primer is incredible, and I was recently turned on to it when my good friend deejay told me all about this great primer and mailed me a bottle. Now this face primer is a little pricey selling for $42 USD but it last a extremely long time since you just need a small amount, and the benefits you reap from this are astonishing:

  • Delivers immediate hydration to
         the skin
  • Sustains hydration for hours after
  • Smoothes fine lines and pores
  • Skin appears Flawless 

  • So when you see the benefits your skin gets from this its just a must.. and like that old saying goes: It's a crime not to prime! Yes you could use something a little more budget friendly but high end is always better in most cases and you get what you pay for and Smashbox is a great company that is cruelty free, and products are well well made.


    My Last makeup obsessed product is the Lorac lipgloss in jimmy. Okay so what's so special about this lip gloss that's not special about every other lip gloss on the market?? Well I'll tell you why..it's a hydrating gloss infused with natural antioxidants that nourishes and protect your lips. So  What does it do? It Creates luscious gloss features like a swirl of striped hues for a one-of-a-kind high-shine finish. Its flirty and has sexy colors and a sweet sweet sweet sweet creme brulee fragrance that is NO JOKE addicting!! I have never smelled a lip gloss this good before and it will have you wanting to buy every color..but hey that's a good thing!! It's also Infused with acai berry, pomegranate extract, and vitamins C & E, also these non-sticky glosses provide a dose of protective antioxidants and a satisfying, silky smooth application..yup I'm not lying this product does everything it says and MORE!! This lip gloss is also FREE of Parabens and Sulfates. :)

    Stay Beautiful and confident Girls :)

    ♥ Summer Must-have Nail Colors ♥

    This years obsession for nail polish has only gotten stronger and funner and the trends for this year are so fun and playful and also chic and feminine. Even with the weak economy in America women still go out and purchase all of the latest trends and must-haves because all of us want to look and feel our best, and strut our stuff in Style!!

    This years nail polish has dramatically shifted from Bright Neon hues to metallics, ombre nails, chic corals, mellow yellows and soft pastels to soft pretty wearable nudes and creamy beiges. So without further adue I will take you beyond the nail shelves and show you some of this years hottest colors and brands,  and list dupes for cheaper polishes for those of us on a price friendly budget...which frankly I think we all are. I will also showcase my favorite summer polishes as well and show you a few nail tricks I've learned!!

    One of the most popular trends this year has been NEONS!! They are Fun and bright and eye-catching and certainly not boring, and as the famous icon Marilyn Monroe once said "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”  and with that said doesnt it just make you want to jump on the Neon Band Wagon?

    The popular brand OPI has great collections and was one of the first brands to come out with a neon color collection as well as China Glaze. This collection by OPI Outrageous Neons retails for $19.95 a little pricey I know but you get six polishes including a white base coat to make the polishes vivid and brighter as well as a shiny top coat and four Statement making shades:  Ridiculousy Yellow, Formidably Orange, Riotously Pink, and Seriously Purple. With all six shades your only paying about $3.32 for each polish which is a great price for OPI polishes which roughly retail for around $8.00 and you can create endless designs with these polishes from ombre to color blocking to marble nails. A great neon dupe for OPI neons is Sally Hansens Extreme Wear in Crushed which retails for around $1.99


    The next trend of nail polishes I'm going to talk about is Chic Corals which are always fun and girly and China Glaze leads the way in fun coral colors. One of the most popular coral colors is China Glaze's shade in Naked. Naked is  a beautiful feminine peachy soft color by China Glaze. The color is a bit sheer so you will need a few coats to build up the intensity. Another great China Glaze coral color is Dress me up the color is a bit of a dusty rose color but fits in the coral family It’s a creamy color with a soft delicate nature and beautiful for daily wear. High Hopes and Peachy Keen are also great coral colors by China Glaze.

    A nice coral dupe is NYC's Central Park for only $2.99 in drug stores. The formulation of the NYC nail polishes are actually  Great! The brush isn't too big or small, and I didn't find the nail polish to be streaky or bubbly. With a couple of coats your  nails are going to look stunning. The great thing about corals is that they look great with short or long nails.

    The Next  Must-Have Nail Color for Summer are Soft Pastels. essie makes great pastels for summer. With pastels you can find any kind of brand and price range because pastels do very good every summer year to year and never seem to go out of style. They are easy to wear and very wearable and virtually go with any outfit and are a must-have in any women's nail collection. A very beautiful High-end nail pastel color is Chanel's Riva. My favorite pastel color is from essie in limo-scene that is obviously a bit more affordable then Chanel's Riva.  The picture directly above shows limo-scene at it's best. The color is a sheer pastel pink perfect for french manicures and can also be in the nude color family as well. Another stunning pastel shade is essie's Lapiz of luxury retailing for $8.00. The color is a beautiful soft taupey blue shade which is shown in the picture on the right and is a picture I personally took and I'm actually wearing today! A nice dupe for pastels is Sally Hansens complete salon manicure line in Barely Blue Bell.  Shown above which is a lovely turquoise shade and reminds me alot of essies turquoise & caicos.
     


    Last but not least is Nudes!!! Nudes are personally my favorite nail polish shades. They are so pretty and chic not to mention ultra feminine and sexy. They take a big shift from the metallics and neons but they definitely hold  there own and pack a powerful punch! essies Be Right Bag is a beautiful nude shade, and nude shades work very well with short nails. I also favorite essies innocence shown above. essies not just a pretty face is also a great choice. There are endless nudes from essie as well as others like china glaze, OPI, Revlon just to name a few. I personally favorite Essie for nudes because I think they do a wonderful job on they're nude shades. I really like Revlon's new shade in Elegant and the price is very affordable and makes a nice dupe for essie's nude shades retailing for about $4.00 compared to essies $8.00. So if your looking for a beautiful shade for summer a nice nude wont let you down!!

    Nail Tips and Tricks: A great nail tip I like to do is sticking to a schedule, that might seem a little odd to some people but I find it keeps my nails healthy, beautiful and always upkept great. On wendnesday and sunday nights I give my nails a nice manicure by filing them down, massaging my cuticles and apply my favorite base coat and nail color.

    My ALL TIME favorite Base coat and Top coat is Sally Hansen Continuos treatment Base and Top coat Shown above. I am loyal to this product for many reasons and first is I can save space instead of breaking out base and top coat bottles I have this all in one product which saves me time and space on my nail rack and I just use this ONE bottle for both steps. A great Bonus to this product is the fact that when I use this as a top coat I have NO CHIPPING for at least two weeks!! NO JOKE girls no chipping. At first I was skeptical because I always hear about top coats that dont chip and its always not true, but when I tried this the first time and i had no chipping with my OPI Cajun Shrimp and Sally Hansens Blue me away I was utter amazement!! It works girls and I'm not sponsored or getting paid by anyone I just know this product works and does what it says....So go run out and try it!! :)


    Another great nail tip is Q-tips which might be kind of basic to most people but I swear by the bigger precision tips. They work wonders and if I get a little messy I can wipe the sides of my nails off clean and easy. For removing old nail polish I use these as well. They are bigger and soak up alot of nail polish remover and make doing your nails a quick process.


    Hope all of you enjoyed my Blog piece and Have a GREAT day and remember Confidence is key and if you don't have it 'Fake it till you Make it'   :)   xoxo

    May favorites ♥

    Hi! I wanted to share all of my favorite beauty products and maybe a few random things for the month of may, and update you gorgeous ladies on the things that I have fallen in love with for the month and more than likely in the months to come as well. Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions about any of these products you can email me at monicatill@ymail.com


     My number one favorite for this month is the monthly subscription service MyGlam. It is a really cool monthly service, For only $10 a month you get 4-5 full size beauty products or deluxe size products. How can you go wrong with this? It's very affordable and you get to try new beauty products out in the market every month so you can really tell if you like it and repurchase it later if you want or not, they also give you a discount if you'd like to purchase it in the future or give you a discount on other beauty items as well.  I recently recieved This Full size Marbella eyeliner pen in this months Glam bag as shown in  the picture above.

    Right now I have a ton of makeup and I vowed to use up alot of the makeup I have before buying new things, and with this monthly service I still get to try new things without breaking the bank and it keeps me excited well I'm on a "NO BUY" period. One down fall for MyGlam is they do not ship internationally right now, and there is a waiting list until they do open subscriptions which is every few months but well worth the wait. I've tried Glossybox, Birchbox and this by far is my favorite! You can sign up for this service at www.myglam.com


    Another monthly favorite of mine is Revlon's Colorstay foundation. I have always been a huge fan of this foundation because of its all day wear (which really is a 24 hr wear) and its flawless  air brushed application. Its not cakey and gives you a nice full coverage. Right now they just released a new product called Revlon Colorstay whipped foundation. So of course I immediately ran out to the drug store and purchased it. I love the new packaging of this product unlike the old one which was in a tall skinny container and was hard to get out of the container. The new packaging is in a small round glass container, and I have to say the glass is very thick and everything about it looks fancy and makes you feel like you just bought something from neiman marcus or sephora. You won't be dissapointed with this drug store foundation.


    Another favorite of mine is this Beautiful summer color from Wet n Wild called Candy-licious Rose bonbon. It's a pretty unique color and it's a new color and product from Wet n Wild. The brush is a Manicurve Pro brush, and the pro brushes are great because unlike the original Wet n Wild brushes,  it is bigger and more precise. Personally I like the bigger brushes because it gives a easier application, and is virtually mistake proof meaning painting your nails is going to be a piece of cake. Your nails will look professionally done, and of course its more then affordable. For only $1.99 your nails will look colorful and gorgeous.


    My next fav is the Matrix Color Care Shine Shake. Now it is a bit pricey it sells for around $17.99 but this hair product is simply AMAZING. The smell alone of this product made me fall in love with it, it has sweet vanilla notes in it and not to mention the benefits my hair  reaped from this product. The great thing about this is you can use with wet or dry hair. I like to style my hair then spray my hair with  this and I have beautiful Shine and it conditions as well, and leaves my hair color Rich and Vibrant and I can smell the vanilla all day long! So I really recommend buying this product.


    My last monthly favorite is the Sephora Brand Nano Eyeliner it glides on so smoothly and comfortably, it creates a remarkable smooth creamy line of color. It has Shea butter and rosemary extracts which make the formula soft and easy to work with. You can Make beautiful impact with your eye look, and right now colorful eyeliner is a must-have and the nano eyeliner comes in an amazing range of colors. I recently purchased a dark purple color called plum  its a gorgeous color.

    I put this eyeliner in the corners of my eye lining very softly and the liner is so creamy it makes a great application and very fun to work with. I bring it outwards to the outter eye just a bit for a beautiful touch of color!

    Hope you guys enjoyed This piece and have a Great week Loves!!

    My Beauty Favorites of April!!

    Can you believe how fast the months are  flying by we are almost into June now and Summer will be here before you know it. So I wanted to share my April beauty favorites ranging from beauty products  to fashion accessories, as well as some great Summer tips to get your Summer started right!

    I absoutely love these duo eyeshadows from mac, they are stunning and they are so rich and the pigmentation is amazing, the colors are gorgeous ranging from neutrals to bright vivid hues. You can't go wrong with this mac duo eyeshadow the colors are great and with Summer right around the corner they are very popular for their quick application. You can use one color for a lid color and another can be blended into your crease area. If you decide to go with a neutral shadow you can use the lighter color as a highlighting color. i love these because of the fast application lid and crease is all you need and you will have a stunning eye look to boot! You can purchase these beautiful shadows at www.maccosmetics.com for around $22 You wont be dissapointed with this great high-end makeup choice.


    These DSW Ballet Flats are a great choice for Spring and Summer. They are  so light and airy and might I add comfortable as well. You can pair these with just about any outfit from leggings to dresses to jeans, if you want to go from day to night just change out your flats and into a great pair of heels laying around. There are so many styles for flats you can purchase a pair with a slight heel on it. The possibilities are endless with the great styles these flats come in. Whatever your style is these flats will meet your needs, you can get a nautical style for that preppy look or a flat with a foral design for a more feminine look or a rhinestone flat for a more edgy look. So whatever pair you choose your bound to look amazing, and I absolutely love my flats because they are so comforting and with small children they are a must and they are a great trend right now so you cant go wrong with a shoe like this.

    My Loreal leGloss is honestly the best drug store gloss I have ever purchased. I picked up two flavors one for my makeup collection and one to store in my handbag for quick touchups. I really love these glosses  because they have a great scent to them and their not sticky and the color is amazing as well as the shine and staying power. For $6 you are getting a steal!! You will look so gorgeous and with Summer coming up shiny glosses are a ultimate sexy look, with that healthy glow and tan and beautiful glossy lips your going to look stunning!!


    My Naked palette from Urban Decay is one of my Holy Grail of makeup products. The colors are so great and there are endless looks with this twelve color palette. The shadows itself really do deliver a big punch! The shadows are so rich and pigmented and also so creamy with little to no fall out. There is virtually no color fall out and the staying power is amazing. Also included in this twelve color palette is the Urban Decay Eye Primer potion which is Urban decay's number one selling product. It keeps your shadows from creasing and makes the colors more vivid and this small travel size will last you a very long time since it only requires such a small amount so you will have it for awhile before you will need to repurchase another. This is such a universal palette and is great for any season and any occasion.

    I recently just purchased this Mac 217 blending brush after reading great reviews from www.makeupalley.com and I can honestly say this is the best blending brush money can buy. For around $22 which can be quite pricey for most people this blending brush will last you for years and is an awesome brush for quick eye looks or more detailed eye looks. I think for starters this would be a great brush to purchase as well. Its going to make blending super easy just brush into a window washing motion and the brush is going to do all the work for you. The brush is great for shading and blending of colour or creamy products. This brush has fine, densely packed fibers that are arranged in an oval shape. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials so your going to get the best quality in a brush, and this brush will definitely suffice!! It's a great investment that will last for years and you will be so thankful when doing your makeup with this brush. You can also get creative and use this brush to apply concealer as well.

    I just purchased this Essie nail polish as well and its one of my favorite beauty picks for the month of April. Essie's Mint candy apple is an amazing color and is so on trend right now. These colors are selling out everywhere and they make a beautiful nail look for Spring and Summer and go with any outfit, and will make you look so trendy and stylish. The color is a light pastel blue, and pastels and neons are so popular right now so dont forget to pick up this beautiful rich nail color.

    If your reading fashion magazines like I am you have probably seen how popular these neckalaces are right now, and its called the sideways cross neckalace. When I first saw this type of jewelry I really liked it because it was so different then the typical jewelry piece I usually find. I love dainty pieces and this is definitely a dainty piece but carries a big impact on the style it possesses. It's just so stunning and really one of those pieces that will never go out of style. Right now this neckalace is being called the kelly Ripa neckalace because she has been seen everywhere with this neckalace on as well as Selena Gomez. So as you can see celebrities are really rocking this type of neckalace and it can be yours for little to nothing in price. Ive seen this beautiful neckalace on www.Ebay.com for around $12- $16 which is a great deal and your going to love wearing this beautiful neckalace and you will get so many compliments. I purchased mine from www.Etsy.com because I wanted it to be hand crafted and filled with 24 karat gold. I love Etsy because all of the jewelry is handmade and the craftmanship is amazing. So if your looking for a feminine  and dainty neckalace then you will love this gorgeous piece, it will look amazing for Spring and Summer as well as the Fall and Winter months.


    For a quick instant Summer glow use a Bronzer and apply it to the hollow area on your cheeks and lightly sweep across your face as well like your nose area and sides of your eyes. You will have a instant tan and beautiful Summer glow. For a great highend Bronzer use Nars laguna $34 which can be purchased at www.sephora.com and if your a girl on a budget use Elfs dup Blush/bronzer duo for $3 at www.target.com or in any Target or Kmart. You can purchase any Nars products from Sephora

    For the Mothers: Pampering yourself this Mother's Day!!

    Mother's Day is right around the corner, and as most of us can say its one of our favorite holidays. The husbands treat us extra special and send flowers and perfume, the kids make sweet little cards for us or make something crafty you cant help but smile at, and breakfast in bed is served for alot of us. So its always a fun day filled with lots of memories, hugs and happy faces, but when you think about Mother's Day and what it means and the tradition of giving that mother something special or doing something special to show her you appreciate her and all that she does as a mother I think we as moms deserve something special like this not just on a yearly basis but more then that the job of a mother is never ending and its a huge title to have. We do so much for our families and for the jobs that we go to everyday and so much of us is sacrificed for the people that we love. I truly believe that pampering yourself is so important and it should be done at least once a week. If you dont think you have the time or your just way too busy, just try it at least for Mother's Day go ahead and follow these fun quick ideas and tips and play some music, light candles and put the kids to bed, have a glass of wine and give yourself that much needed pampering you deserve!!


    The definition of Pampering is:To treat with excessive indulgence. That is exactly what we want to do when pampering ourselves is indulge ourselves with the things  that we love, giving ourselves that treat we normally dont give ourselves on a daily basis. The night before Mother's Day just go ahead and put the kids to sleep and give yourself one hour to do these wonderful things for yourself and you will feel Amazing afterwards. Most of us cant do these things very often, so I urge all of you to  make time for pampering at least on Mother's Day. I pamper myself on a weekly basis which I normally do on Sunday nights and it really gives me a sense of self and its just great time I give myself and we all deserve this and your body will truly thank you later.

    On Sunday nights I begin my pampering ritual around 9pm after my son is in bed. First I begin with a hot bath and I light a couple of tea candles for the relaxation and sip on a cup of hot green tea which is full of plenty of antioxidants and is a nice treat to your body. After I soak and enjoy my hot bath I indulge my skin by applying my favorite lotion (cetaphil) all over my body, then taking a warm pair of fuzzy socks I mix a couple dime size amounts of vaseline and my lotion together and rub all over my feet which helps add moisture back in my feet and will help any dry areas or blisters. Since we are on the go most the time it is very important to take good care of your feet.

    For my hair I like to give it a nice conditioning treatment and put that shine back into my hair. So after I get out of the shower while my hair is still damp I apply a leave in conditioner which is going to help detangle your hair and help manage any frizz  and condition your hair and leave it healthy. My choice is Bumble and Bumble for $23 and remember its just a weekly treatment so dont be scared of the price tag it will last a long time and it is a great tool for your hair so it really is a good investment. After you apply your leave in conditioner you can let your hair air dry and enjoy that time off from Blow drying :)

    Now for the Facials, because whats pampering without a facial? I like to switch up with my facials since after you use a product for too long it can start to loose its potency so I like to mix it up between a chocolate mask and avocado mask and they both smell amazing and you can purchase them for around $2 at any walmart or target in the Beauty section. So depending on the directions of the facial mask you purchase it's usually very easy you would apply your mask and let it sit for around 10-15 minutes then wash your face off with warm water and enjoy how glowing your face looks afterwards.

    After my wonderful facial I like to give my Hands a nice manicure which takes around 30 minutes. I just file down my nails to the length and shape I desire then apply a nail whitener from nail polish staining, then apply a Base coat to my nails, after those steps are done I take my nailene skinny french tip pen which can be purchased at any drug store for around $4 and you can also purchase the nailene guides if you dont have a steady hand. I apply a thin white line to the tips of my nails for that beautiful manicure look. You would apply a shiny yop coat which would prevent chipping and give your nails that gorgeous shine as well, and then your hands are going to look amazing, and if you'd like to take it up a notch you can apply nail art stickers as well.

    Last but not least for Pampering I like to get dressed and wear some cozy jammies and treat myself to my favorite box of chocolates and watch one of my favorite movies like the Notebook, Pearl harbor, Its a wonderful life, Message in a Bottle, Sleapless in seattle and many many more. Its just a fun way to relax and take a break from the busy lifes we lead! Happy Mother's Day to all of you and God Bless!!! :)

    Spring-The Happy little things!!!

    If your like me you get the simplest pleasures from the smallest  purchases  like a lotion that has the nicest smell or a lip gloss that makes your lips looks so pretty and has a lucious scent that really makes you smile or a beaded bracelet that just catches your eye. The perfect spring day for me would be taking a walk with my son through the park taking in the fresh air, then doing some shopping to find those perfect items that are really going to put a smile on my face, it could be a keychain or a bracelet.... So I've put together some of those little treasures that really make me happy and are great items to use for spring as well. I hope you guys enjoy my little pleasures and be sure to comment below and share some of your spring favorites. I would love to know what you enjoy!

     When I go to the store  to pick up a Beauty magazine to read it makes me feel so nice and feminine. You just can't go wrong buying a fashion magazine in the store. It's such a nice feeling and so relaxing reading your favorite fashion and beauty magazines. There are so many options to relax with your favorite magazine, you can read in the bath while you are soaking in your favorite bath salts or lay out and tan, you can be getting a pedicure. No matter what your doing it's such a fun little pleasure plus your catching up on all the latest fashions and trends, and its just very enjoyable!

    I purchased this beautiful ring from www.Etsy.com with a ultra steal price tag of $14  it really is so much fun purchasing items online, you get to shop in the comfort of your own home and it can be so relaxing. For me I love the thrill of waiting for my item to come, then when it comes you get this package in the mail and it just makes it all more fun to open up the package and get excited about what you bought. It's a really nice fun way to shop and look for great deals! The reason why I chose Etsy is because everything is handmade and I feel like the craftmanship really shows in the items and the shop owners are generally very passionate about the products they make and alot of time is invested to insure each piece is perfect. it's so much more personal then getting something that was made out of a factory overseas. I bough a few stacking hammered silver rings off of the Etsy website and they're the best quality. They never tarnished, or turned my finger green or anything like that. They look as nice as the first day I recieved them and the prices are beyond fair so it's a great way to feel nice and have a great piece to wear. 

    No matter what kind of woman it is, most women enjoy candles. Candles are very zen like, and put a warm feeling into any room and not to mention smell amazing. Candles are definitely one of my greatest joys, they are great by the bath tub or when I'm reading a book and they are great on my desk when I'm working. So if you want to put a little happiness in your life go get some scented candles and enjoy their presence.

      Decorated photo frames are always one of my favorite pleasures, Because they are something you can keep forever and everytime you enter a room with your families smiling faces it's a great joy. There are also so many Do It Yourself fun ways to make photo frames with your family like decorating and painting frames and putting stickers on them that makes a really fun activity for children. So if your interested in spicing up a room or re-vamping it add some  decorated photo frames, involve your kids and it will be a cherished memory. You'll love looking at your photo frames and its a priceless happiness!!


     A Great Lipstick is a must!!! It really makes me feel so happy and sexy as well. I think as women we work so hard on a daily basis with work, kids and managing our homes so all of us deserve to splurge on occasion. When you purchase a highend makeup item it gives you a nice feeling, you just feel nice. I think for $34 this lipstick is well worth the price, its so moisturizing and creamy, so pigmented. I feel like just the confidence that it gives you is enough in itself to buy something like this. The packaging on this ysl lipstick is just amazing,The gold hardware adds a luxorious feel to this lipstick and there are so many beautiful spring and summer colors that will brighten up your face and make you sparkle. So give yourself a little well deserved gift and keep in your clutch and you are bound to feel so sexy, feminine and confident every time you take this lipstick out and wear it :) You can purchase at www.sephora.com

    Hope you Enjoyed this Blog article and as always Thanks and have a great week oh and don't forget to smile :) Love ya!!
