Fast, Simple Smokey Eye

These are the products used today!

Revlon Nearly naked Foundation

I mixed both shades to get my color!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner

Nyx La Amoureux Mascara

Urban Decay Naked Pallet

Also, I used NYC Bronzer but I forgot to put it in ooooops..

So for the eyes I just applied Sin from the naked pallet and put it all over my eyelid and in my inner corners to highlight.

Then i drew a thin line of the eyeliner on my lid, and just smudged it until it looked smokey. 

Applied mascara AND DONE! Super easy and quick!

Outfit and Makeup Of The Day :)

Hello Everyone!

So today when I woke up, at 6am... it was chilly and cloudy out, and there was even a bit of rain. 

So me thinking that it was going to stay chilly out, yeah right, I put on pants and a sheer long sleeve shirt.  Now, at 10am, the sun is making it's appearance. Whatever, I am going to continue to wear my "cold" clothes. Haha.

 

I just have on old navy skinny jeans. The stretchy ones that are soooo comfortable. Any body type can get away with wearing these things. They kinda just suck everything in making it look even and "skinny". But they are super comfy which is a plus.

My shirt is from Pacsun. And I've had it for over a year, and this is my first time wearing it o.O oops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This morning has been filled with snuggles, oatmeal, and a sleepy baby girl, who is currently sleeping on the couch.

How sweet. All snuggled up with her blankey, that she loves so much!

 

Okay, onward to the makeup.

NYC Eyelash Curler

 

Here is me, as I'm applying my war paint. Haha

I just apply the foundation with my fingers usually, but today I wanted a more full coverage look so I used the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and in a circular motion brushed it on.

 

Then I took my ELF contouring brush and applied the Wet N Wild Blusher in Heather Silk on the apples of my cheeks. And using the same brush I applied the Maybelline Shimmer Powder on my cheek bones and down my nose just to give a little glow to my face.

 

After, I took the Bare Minerals Brush and applied just a tiny bit of the Cover FX Powder and put that over top it all. The powder gives me just a brightening look. And also with that same brush I took the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and put that on my nose and around my mouth, where I tend to get oily.

 

Then on my eyebrows I took the Revlon ColorStay eyeshadow and took the 2nd color down and just filled my eyebrows in a bit.

 

Wet N Wild Pallet, I took the color 2nd down on the left and applied all over eyelid, then took the 3rd color down on the left for my crease.

 

 

Applied my Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss.

Curled eyelashes, applied mascara! BAM!

Such an easy look and took really no effort. You can substitute and change any products you would like to get the desired look!

 

Out in better lighting.

Enjoy!

Easy Chowder & Cinnamon Coffee Crumble!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

I know I have been gone for a while, but now I'm back! As you can see the blog has been revamped! Thank you very much to my friend Danielle!

 

Now the chowder recipe is something that I threw together and it turned out AWESOME!

 

 

Ingredients:

1can of cheese and broccoli soup

1can of water

1can of milk

1chicken breast

3cups of mixed veggies

2slices of cheese

salt and pepper for taste

 

 

All the ingredients are just things that I had left over. I used mixed frozen veggies which included: corn, broccoli, carrot, and cauliflower. The cheese was just American sliced kraft  singles. (improvise) Next time I will try to use all FRESH ingredients! Also, I will make a big batch next time so we can have leftovers!  I asked my husband if my chowder was better then his moms and of course he said NO HAHA. But he did say it was 2nd Best!

 

 

 

 

The Cinnamon Coffee Crumble recipe I found on PINTEREST! << link is included :)

The recipe for the crumb part calls for orange zest, which we did use, but the second time I made it I used lemon zest, and it was just as good! Also, the almond extract works so much better then when we tried the vanilla extract! 

So sit back and enjoy your piece of cake and enjoy it with some great tea, or coffee. Its great for dessert or breakfast!

We are excited to try this meal during the winter time ;) Ooooo can't wait to have it snuggled up with a nice warm fire.





Stomach Bug

So a few days ago, my daughter had the stomach bug for less than 24hours, so I chalked it up as just eating too much junk food at my parent's house. Then My nephew got it BAD! 

So of course, I got it 10x worse! I already have stomach issues so when a bug hits me, it hits HARD! And boy did it. So bad to the point where I was dry heaving and throwing up bike for a few hours. I couldn't get off the floor. Thank goodness we are at my parent's house and they helped out with Lil A.

This is me today, day after ER trip. Which was awful! The ER only had two nursed on staff and one doctor, and a full ER.... Took them over an hour for the doctor to visit than took three hours before someone ppl my blood and then another hour for them to start an Iv drip. And during the whole time I just wanted pain meds for my stomach and something to make the nausea to stop. OH! And I've chips. 

This has been my best friend for the past few hours.

Lil A just wants me to get up and put my shoes on! :( poor girl.

Toddler Tuesday

Hello Everyone!!!

Today started out real good, 6am, I was in a good mood, Lil A was in a good mood, all happy. After breakfast, not too much. I tried to hold out on a nap because she hasn't taken a morning nap since she was itty bitty. 9am rolls around ....OKAY LITTLE GIRL, NAP!

She clonked right out!!! I'm wondering, growth spurt maybe? She woke up at noon, didn't want lunch, just snacks. So that's what we did.  2:30 comes around and I decides I would make homemade paint!

She loved them!!! She grabbed the brush and just went right to work!

"Oooo pretty momma"

Then she continued to paint her face and lips. Even a little taste here and there! 

All I used was 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup of water. And food coloring!

Xoxo

Toddler Tuesday!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Today I will be doing my first blog post for Toddler Tuesday! Yay!

Sorry I missed Makeup Monday yesterday, but my skin has not been very "acne free" so we will do that one this weekend!

 

My first item for Toddler Tuesday is going to be... NETFLIX!

 

 

 

 I know, I know, some of you are like why is Netflix a toddler item? Well you see, in my house, we do not have cable, just Netflix and Hulu.  My child loves scrolling through all of the movies and shows, looking for characters she knows. And then when she finds what she wants...BAM! MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!

 

She recently for the past couple weeks has discovered Tinker Bell, and let me tell you, she is OBSESSED! Every time the t.v. goes on she starts dancing around and squeaking!

 

Next, is a consumable.

Honest Kids Juice

 

100% Organic Juice with only 40 calories, 100% daily value of vitamin C, AND 1/2 the sugar as "other" juices.

My lil one loves these. She gets so excited when she sees them in the pantry. Makes her feel like a big kid I think! haha.

I'm not quite sure on the availability of these. I found mine at Fresh n' Easy, but I  know on the East Coast we don't have Fresh n' Easy, so Wal-Mart may have them too. Also, you can always get them online.

To get coupons and special offers, you just have to go like Honest Tea on Facebook, or follow on Twitter.

 

I know there isn't too many items that I have mentioned, but most of my products are a weekly thing, not monthly, so some of my posts will be shorter than others!
