So we went to this bar with a bunch of my boyfriend's fellow law students-
we sang karaoke (something Joe would NEVER do! lol)

I used some of the new COOL HEAT (MAC) shadows...

So I went to Target w.the BF. He was shopping for Family Guy Season 5- and I went over to the cosmetic dept. and let me tell you, I RARELY EVER buy drug-store brands...they just never seem to please me. I don't know what it is.
Anyway, I bought a few items to give it a try.
Neutrogena Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads
Price: $5.89 (on sale)
I LOVE THESE!!! The best part, is that they were super soft and they did a WONDERFUL job removing my eye makeup!! (just as good as my MAC wipes-my HG)
Here's what the wipe looks like after I removed my eye makeup:
Here's my EOTD and more pictures after using my Neutrogena Extra Gentle Makeup Remover Wipes:
L'Oreal Voluminous Eyeliner- Mistake Proof Marker
Shade: 450 Black Noir
Price: $5.94
After reading about this on another blog, I thought I'd give it a try.
I didn't like this AT ALL- it was gliding on pretty sheer and I had to go over it a bunch of times.
It ended up looking like VINYL on my eyes- I don't like that vinyl look.
Rimmel Spark It Up!- Gleaming Eye Darkening Liner
Shade: 610 Tiger's Eye
Price: $4.89
Okay this, besides the Neutrogena makeup remover pads, is my favorite out of this haul.
It reminds me somewhat of MAC's TEDDY Eye Kohl...bronzey-dark color- super pretty!
Revlon Gloss
Shade: 020 Pink Afterglow
Price: $5.94
This color is very pretty, however, when I applied it, it was a bit sticky and I could feel the tiny sparkles on my lips when I rubbed them together- I really don't like the feeling of this on this lips- I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like the gritty sparkly feel.
L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipgloss
Shade: 125 Bloom
Price: $7.64
I HATE this stuff!! When I first applied it, it felt super smooth and the color is pretty. However, since it claims to stay on for 6 hours, it became more and more dry (completely dried out my lips)- it also started to get cakey and I had to rub hard to get this crap off of my lips! Yuck!
So I guess this wasn't too eventful! Sorry gals! The products I recommend trying are the remover pads by Neutrogena and the Rimmel eye liner. Hope this will be of some use to you!!
So I have ALWAYS hated swimsuit shopping!
It's just one of those things I don't enjoy-
However, for YEARS now, I have been wanting to buy one of those swimsuits from the 40's-50's.
They seem very sexy to me, yet at the same time, they offer more coverage than the skimpy impy tweeny yellow polkadot bikini ones! lol
Don't get me wrong! If you have the body for it, they look great!!
I have had the hardest time finding the old-style suits!!
But, lo and behold I found a great site that sells them!!
I was looking around the site and I found some realllllly cute bathing-suits.
I wanted to know what you ladies thought!!
Here's a wedding I did (back in May)- never had the time to post it- so here ya go!!
This was for a woman (i think in her late 30's) who was getting married for her second time.
The bridesmaids were all married with children. (just to give you an idea of the age group I worked with)
Everyone was so sweet- I was able to work outside in natural lighting- with a view overlooking the ocean!
I had to apply everything heavier than I normally would like to, because they had about 6 hours to wait until the actually ceremony-
The Bride:
Bridesmaids:
Sister of the Bride:
Mother of the Bride:
I totally forgot to have a vox graduation celebration!!!
