Urban Decay skull palette

Urban decay Vegan Palette

I like that the vegan palette came with primer potion and a 24/7 eyeliner. Both are items I wanted to try so that is awesome!!!

Both palettes seem to be very pigmented and are shimmery!  

Stay tuned for photos on looks I come up with!!!

Have a great day!

August 2012 Birchbox

I recieved my august birchbox the other day in the mail. Overall I must say I like this box. This was the Beauty School box!

First thing I noticed was there was not the usual product page. There was a fold out card with different beauty tips on it. The descriptions of the items was on the back of the card!

(sorry its sideways..its right on my computer but turning here for some reason)

First is the Caldrea Hand soap

A delicious-smelling soap loaded with aloe vera and olive oil to soften hands. Full-size $10.50

DDF Brightening Cleanser

This foaming gel uses an all-star team of skin brighteners to fade discoloration and even out skintone. Full-size $38

(again sorry its sideways)

Juicy  Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur

This modern scent is a feminine blend of wild berries, mandarin, and waterlily. Full-size $70

Per-fekt Beauty Lash Perfection Gel

Amp up your lashes with this multitasking primer, conditioner, and mascara. Full-saize $28.50

Birchbox Find

Schick Hydro Silk Razor retails for $9.99

I threw away the info on this so here is what bircbox.com says:

The Schick Hydro Silk Razor is our latest Birchbox Find. Thanks to this innovative new razor, we’ll be showing off our legs all season long. It has a water-activated moisturizing serum that moisturizes for up to two hours after shaving. Plus, the five blades have skin guards that follow the natural contours of your body to smooth skin and help prevent irritation. The result: silky legs

Can't wait to see what everyone else got.

Take care

Just a yuck day

We are having such a yucky day here...

My daughter is 11 months and she has been having some yuck diapers today.. started in the middle of the night.

Also last night i started to not feel well and by the time morning came i was doing all i could to not live in the bathroom.

I haven't been able to do much today. by supper time i was finally starting to feel better. I was able to make a dinner that i could keep down. Then i was so hungry i had to pace myself!

Have you had that happen? your sick and then when you can eat you want to eat the house!!

What are your tricks to feeling better quicker?

Hope you are all feeling well!!
