Whats in My Makeup Bag

So here it is....the perfectionist in me wanted to wipe down all my makeup before showing it but I wanted this to be the real deal, well minus two old q-tips I used to blend my eyeliner (I didn't think y'all would mind not seeing those.)

I took one of the bags off my Mary Kay travel roll up bag because its clear and I like to see what I'm digging for. Here's whats in my bag, my must have's that travel with me, even to the grocery store! haha!

Thanks for taking a tour of my makeup bag!

I also wanted to add a BIG thank you for your feed back and very kind words! I have tried to comment back to each of you but it does not post. I'm sure its something I'm doing and I hate to sound dumb but thats why you haven't gotten a response back from me!

Blushing Bride Keris

I had the honor of doing beautiful Keris' wedding day makeup along with many of her brides maids and her wonderful Mom for her wedding 2 years ago. Since I didn't have a blog then I thought I would share them now! Keris and Jeremy had an absolutely gorgeous wedding! Enjoy!

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down...a product review

If you have read any of my previous post you know I love eyelashes and that
mascara is by far my favorite makeup. I am extremely picky about mascara. I recently tried Too Faced Lash Injection Pinpoint(Extreme Defining & Lengthening)Mascara.
Lets first start off with the things I did like.
The brush is very tiny which I think is great for younger girls or someone who is just learning to apply mascara.
Yep thats really all I liked about it....
Ready? Here's what I didn't like.
This mascara is seriously stinky! I like a very black mascara, this mascara although it says it is black hardly showed up on my lashes. It gave me some length and seperation but the look was far too natural for what I want! Maybe someone with a very fair complection or a young girl just starting to wear makeup but this product is definitely NOT for me! This product was a THUMBS DOWN for sure!

I'd love to know what your favorite mascara is?

HELLO again!

I'm back no not in April, May, or June but the last day of July! I usually don't like when other blogs have "STAY TUNED" posts BUT I'm making an exception and doing one! SO HERE ARE SOME FUTURE POSTS COMING UP!

I have a few fun reviews!
I'll be showing you whats in my makeup bag!
I was asked to do a tutorial so I'll being doing my first one of those! Yay!
I'll leave you with a peak of whats been keeping me happy and busy the last almost 3 months!!

Issues...

I haven't been posting because I've had some blog issues and really haven't had the time to sit down and figure them out! I am still a very amateur blogger! I have a lot to learn! haha!

I did want to answer a question that was left in my comments...What face makeup do you wear?

I am currently using Mary Kay Full Coverage Foundation and Medium Coverage Foundation. I mix the two for a more custome color and coverage, I usually am darker in the summer months and its just easier for me to adjust the shade of my foundation this way! Trust me its super easy! I also use Mac Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium Plus to set the look! I hope this is helpful!
We have been so busy and I have lots of cute pictures, updates and even some reviews! Thank you for all the sweet comments and great questions!! Hope you all have had a wonderful April! You should see me back with regular posts in the month of May!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I am linking up with Jamie on this gloomy Wednesday for WILW!



I'm loving all the sweet snuggles the twins and I have been getting in this rainy weather from my sweet Lib!

Straight out of the bath snuggles!

I'm loving my hardwood floors! Here are the best before and afters I have right now.

AFTER! (from Tiffany's shower)

I'm loving that we have the babies names picked out! We pretty much always have but we changed a middle name and its official now! YAY!

I'm loving all the encouragement my sister has given me this week! She is always so encouraging thats just her, but this week she has really been a source of encouragement straight from the Lord! It just reminds me to never take an opportunity for granted where I might be able to do the same thing for someone else!

I'm loving that I finally duplicated the Mila Kunis makeup I loved from the Oscars! This is the best picture of it and it was not planned to show the "look" so just look at the eyes. I took the picture at the end of my day so my lipstick is nonexsistent! Mila's makeup artist used Lancome products on her I duplicate her look using all Mary Kay so I purchased no products for this look!

 

I'm loving these cutie pies!

AND their Daddy!

Happy Wednesday! I'm hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!

Friday's Favorites

I am linking up today with my beautiful, bestie and SIL Lyndsie for one of my favorite topics!

In my perfect world I would probably spend all my money on my children's clothes and decorating our home since these are two of my favorite things! haha! I do everything on a budget which means my house projects are never "done". Our home is always a work in progress but I kinda love that because I love decorating and design so much! When our twins arrive this summer we will have 5 children and 3 bedrooms so the babies will be in with Mommy and Daddy for as long as possible! I have lots of ideas for our nursery and I know just how I want it to look! Since we really aren't working on the nursery just yet because that's the girls room for now, here is a super "sneak peak" of what the room will look like when the time comes for the babies to move to their own room.


Benjamin Moore Alexandria Beige

This is a Ralph Lauren sheet set that I found and LOVE! I hope to turn this material into part of the bedding! Oh if I only knew how to sew....So that's my work in progress!

Have a relaxing and wonderful weekend! I am so looking forward to our weekend!
