<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px;">I am so incredibly disappointed in the world right now. With everything going on with the coronavirus right now, the world is a scary place. Not only is the virus scary, the way people are acting is even scarier. You would think people would come together and be kind and help each other, but it’s been the exact opposite! People are acting like animals. People that don’t have kids are stockpiling diapers, formula, etc. just to resell for 4x the price. That’s sickening. </span><br />
<div class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2">I saw an article online about a guy that went through 3 DIFFERENT STATES with a U-Haul and bought all the hand sanitizer so he could resell it for between $8 and $80 per bottle on Amazon! Luckily karma hit him hard because Amazon is cracking down on price gouging and they banned him from listing it. So now he’s stuck with a garage full of hand sanitizer with nowhere to sell it. The funny part is that he’s actually upset and is saying that it’s “not fair” and is going to “hurt his finances”. No, asshole. It’s not fair that you took all the hand sanitizer and didn’t allow anyone else to get any. There are elderly people and immuno-compromised people that really need items like that and can’t get it because of selfish people like him. It’s so sad. </span></div>
<div class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2">People are literally fighting over Clorox wipes and toilet paper! I saw on the news that a man was stabbed over toilet paper! When did people become so evil?! I was in Walgreens yesterday just getting normal items that we needed for the week and I heard a woman in the next aisle on the phone. She was telling whoever she was talking to that they just restocked the Clorox wipes and asked if that person needed any. All of the sudden I saw half the store go RUNNING to that aisle and almost mauling her for some Clorox wipes. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I felt so bad for her. I saw a video online of an elderly woman with one package of toilet paper. Some lady with literally 10 packages of toilet paper in her cart comes up to the elderly woman and tries to rip the toilet paper out of her hand! Luckily another customer saw and got her toilet paper back and was able to get her safely away from the crazy lady. I couldn’t believe it. That’s how we’re treating our elders now?! It disgusts me. </span></div>
<div class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2">Because of people going crazy and buying everything, people like me that were just trying to shop for the week can’t get what we need. I couldn’t even find a gallon of milk yesterday. People have kids they need to feed. They have families to protect. The main point of this post is just to remind people to be kind. Of course get the items that your family needs but don’t go overboard. Think of others as well. Help people that need it. We need to come together right now as a country instead of having the “every man for himself” way of thinking. </span></div>

<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2">Be safe, disinfect, try to stay inside if you can, and above everything else, WASH AND SANITIZE YOUR HANDS! I cannot stress that enough. If you’re religious, pray. We will get through this. Be kind!</span></div>

The palette features a cosmic blend of whimsical fantasy like shades, balancing cool and warm tones to complement the best of the intergalactic world.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-style: italic;">Featuring 9 buttery mattes, 6 high-shine creamy metallics saturated with electrifying pearls, 1 glitter powder charged with glass pearls and silver sparkles and 2 sheer multi-reflective shadows for a multidimensional glow.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-style: italic;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">The Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde palette retails for $67.00. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-style: italic;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">Guys... I have never been this impressed with a palette in my life!! Before anything else, I need to mention the packaging. It is so beautiful!

Not only are the shades absolutely stunning, but there are also so many different TYPES of shades. The pigmentation is absolutely amazing. I swear this palette is going to last forever because I’ve been using it daily and there is barely a dent in any of the shades... even the ones I use the most. The glitters are beautiful. Nebula is one of my absolute favorite shades and for a pressed glitter the quality is amazing. It sticks to my lids all day with minimal fallout. All of the shades are super buttery, easily blendable, and very easy to work with whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. </span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1">I’m really impressed with the quality of this palette and can’t say enough good things about it.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Hi my Loves!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I’ve been doing my best to set aside time to write these posts, but I’ve been working a ton and keep starting posts and then never finishing them. </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;">🤦🏼♀️</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> I really need to stop doing that. Hopefully I’ll have a little more time to myself in the next month or so and I’ll be able to write a lot more often. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Today I wanted to review a product that I’ve been so excited about since it’s launch date was announced. I’ve been dying to get my hands on this gorgeous palette and finally was able to for Christmas! (If you’re interested, you can buy your own Huda Beauty- The New Nude Palette on shophudabeauty.com for $65.)</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">One of the main reasons I wanted this palette was because it had so many different types of shadows. It has 18 shades total. There are 10 matte shades, 4 reflective shades (these are SO unique and my absolute favorite shades out of the entire palette), 2 glitter shades, 1 pressed pearl shade, and 1 concealer base. It has a variety of warm and cool toned shades as well. There are so many different looks you can do with this palette...the possibilities are endless. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">As expected, all of the shades are super pigmented and blend like butter. I suggest using a glitter glue when you use the glitter shades to help them stick. They look absolutely beautiful when applied on top of a glitter adhesive. I’ve had this palette for a while and have done quite a few different looks with it. I’ve worn the shadows for 8+ hours some days and they still didn’t crease at all. I was pleasantly surprised! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I definitely recommend this palette. It is a high end palette and the price point is obviously higher than drug store brands, but I promise it is </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">so</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> worth it. The quality far exceeded my expectations and was so worth the cost. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Hey Beauties!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I’m very excited about this post because it’s been a long time coming. Jaclyn Hill is one of my favorite YouTubers and one of the reasons I got into makeup as much as I have. I’ve wanted to buy the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe palette since it first came out. I didn’t get around to it right away. Once I finally did, there was a shipping issue and the palette never got to me. They ended up shipping me the one I ordered plus an extra for having to wait so long. (Their customer service is wonderful by the way.) Anyway, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about this palette with all of you!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">First impressions:</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The very first thing I noticed was how many gorgeous shades there were! There is a perfect amount of matte vs shimmer shades. The pans are also big which is nice. You really get what you pay for. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Of course I immediately started searching my favorite shades. They were as soft as butter. I was really surprised at the nice texture of the shadows. Also using them for the first time I noticed how easily they blended. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This is a wonderful palette for </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic;">everyone</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">. It’s great for beginners because of how easy the shadows blend together, and it’s great for more experienced MUAs because of all the different shades it offers and the endless looks you can create. I could not be more happy with my purchase! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">For people that want to purchase this palette, I bought it on Morphe.com. Also, I noticed that they have AfterPay, so if you are unable to pay all at once you can pay in 4 equal installments by being billed every 2 weeks. I thought that was super nice as well. </span></div>

<br />
I know, I know. It’s been a while. We had a busy summer and did a lot of fun stuff with the kids over the summer, so I didn’t get a chance to blog as much as I would have liked. They’re back in school now though so I’ll have a little more time to work on some new content. I’m really bad about starting a post and then saving it halfway through and not finishing it. I’ll get another idea and start a separate post a few days later and do the exact same thing. 🤦🏼♀️ I’ll get better about finishing my posts, I promise. 😂<br />
<br />
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you would know that my holy grail makeup remover wipes are the Neutrogena sensitive skin makeup removing wipes. I’ve been using them for years. Recently Neutrogena came out with Deep Clean Purifiying Cleansing wipes though, and I decided to give them a try.<br />
<br />
<b>I’m glad I did. </b><br />

I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin. My skin will absolutely let me know if it doesn’t like a product I use, so I wait to give my opinion on products until I’ve used them at least a couple times and can see how my skin reacts to it. I was so happy that my skin didn’t react negatively to these. A lot of products that claim to remove waterproof makeup don’t work as well as they claim, but these wipes really do. They easily take off my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. They even take off my false lash glue easily, which most other makeup wipes can’t do. They have a slight scent but it smells fresh and isn’t overpowering. My skin is left feeling soft and moisturized after using these. They never dry my skin out or irritate it (which is easy to do). I also really like that they have a rough texture because it helps take the makeup off more easily. It isn’t rough enough to irritate your skin, but it definitely helps in removing your makeup more quickly and easily. The packaging keeps the wipes nice and moist. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I’m super impressed with these makeup wipes and have definitely found my new Holy Grail product. I would like to try the other Neutrogena Micellar products soon and see if they’re as good as the makeup removing wipes. </div>
<div>

<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! We definitely are in my house. We've been doing a lot of fun outings with the kids and friends lately. I can't believe they go back to school in just a few short weeks. I'm half sad because we've had such an awesome summer, but I'm also half relieved because I'll get a break from the craziness that summer break entails. 😂<br />
<br />
I got my first Ipsy bag in the mail earlier this week and wanted to share what I received with you all! Here's what I got:<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>1.) Simple Micellar Makeup Remover Eye Pads</b><br />
I've actually tried these before so I was pretty excited to get them in my bag. It wasn't a sample either, it's full size with 30 pads in there which is awesome.<br />
<br />
<b>2.) Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner</b><br />
I ended up giving this to a friend because I like gel liners better personally (for my top lid) and pencil liners for my waterline. I have way too many eyeliners as is. I've heard great things about this though and it's a high end brand so I'm sure she'll enjoy it.<br />
<br />
<b>3.) Elizabeth Mott Tapered Blending Brush</b><br />
I was really happy to see this when I opened my bag because it's one of the things I was hoping to get when I saw other people's Ipsy bags this month. I've been using it everyday since I got it and I'm super impressed with it. It blends so nicely and doesn't cause any fallout. It's a great brush.<br />
<br />
<b>4.) ella eden Single Eyeshadow</b><br />
I have similar colors to this shadow in quite a few of my palettes and way too many eyeshadows as it is, so I gave this away also. It's a very pretty color though and the reviews on it are great so I'm hoping my friend enjoys this one too.<br />
<br />
<b>5.) Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter</b><br />
This is the product I was the most excited about receiving. I've been using it every night since I got it during my before bed skin care routine and I already see a noticeable difference in my skin. It makes my skin so smooth but doesn't make it oily at all. I am definitely going to buy the full size of this product when the one I received runs out.<br />
<br />
Do you get Ipsy? If so, what did you get this month? Have you tried any of the products I got in my bag? Let me know in the comments below!<br />

<br />
I am subscribed to a <i>lot</i> of different blogs, and recently I saw quite a few of them do a post about the last 10 things they Googled. I thought it would be fun to do also, and it's a great way to get to know the person behind the blog! Here's the last 10 things I googled.<br />

If you watch the ACE Family YouTube channel, you'll know who she is. For those who don't, she's a huge YouTuber that has a channel with her fiance Austin McBroom and their adorable daughter, Elle. There was recently some rumors that came out about her past, so I was doing some detective work (AKA being nosey). 😂<br />

I currently have a GoFundMe set up because my mom passed away unexpectedly on Mother's Day this year. She was cremated and is currently in a plastic box that is taped shut. 😔 (That's what she was given to us in.) The money is going toward getting her the beautiful urn that she deserves and also going toward renting a moving truck to drive down to South Carolina (where she was living) from Chicago (where we live) to go through everything and bring back all of our family mementos, furniture, etc. <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/5mgj6j-in-memory-of-my-mom" target="_blank">Here is the link if you would like to donate. </a> Anything is appreciated greatly. Anyway I had a question for them about the account and was trying to find a phone number or email address for their customer service.<br />

I had a Monroe piercing for a few years which I loved. I had to take it out for a while and it closed, but not completely. I was buying a 16 gauge piercing needle so I could re-pierce it myself since it wasn't closed all the way yet.<br />

Showbiz Shelly is a very popular radio personality that was on the radio station b96 for years. Recently I turned on the radio and heard her on Kiss FM (which is the #1 competition for b96) and I wanted to know why. Apparently she switched stations and that was a huge shock to me.<br />

I've heard of a cleft palate before and knew what that was but didn't know the difference between a hard cleft palate and a soft cleft palate so I wanted to look it up.<br />

<br />
I've been trying to get my mind off of everything that happened in the last 2 months, and what's better than retail therapy?! A good friend gave me a gift card and told me to buy some things for myself to cheer me up because things have been so rough lately. Normally I would save it for bills, or the kids, or something we <i>need,</i> but she insisted I spend it on myself, and who am I to argue?! 😉😄 I bought some clothing also that I may post a collective haul of soon, but for now I wanted to post some awesome new drugstore products that I purchased and have been using pretty much daily. Let's jump right in...<br />

<b>Covergirl Trunaked Peach Punch Palette</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I actually purchased the entire Peach Punch line. I'm really impressed with the highlight, it's beautiful. The highlight is by far my favorite thing from the entire line. The blushes are really pretty too. The entire line is peach scented and I love it. It's not too overpowering, but definitely scented. The palette is nice, I like the color scheme a lot and the gold/nude colors are gorgeous. The only downside is the matte colors have quite a bit of fallout so you have to be careful with that.<br />

<b>Maybelline Lemonade Craze Palette</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I was super excited to finally get my hands on this palette. The colors are beautiful and it has some shades that you wouldn't normally see included in a palette. I wish they had more yellow hues, but overall I really like it. A few of the colors could be a bit more pigmented but for the most part it's a great palette.<br />

<b>Loreal Paradise Enchanted Palette</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is another palette I was very excited to finally purchase. It's apple scented, and I'm not going to lie, that's 90% of the reason I bought it. 😂 The colors are absolutely beautiful. I've been using this palette the most out of the palettes I've purchased recently. Every color has great pigmentation and there are so many different looks you can do with this palette alone. It has a mix of matte and shimmer shades which I love.<br />

<b>NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
When I saw this palette, I had to have it. I have a TON of nude eyeshadow palettes, but not many with bright colors. This palette literally has every color of the rainbow and although I haven't had a chance to use every shade yet, I've used about 75% of them and they are all super pigmented. NYX has yet to really let me down, and this is just another great NYX product.<br />

<b>No7 Airbrush Away Pore Minimizing Primer</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I wasn't looking for a primer, but I always try the in-store testers. Once I tried this, I had to buy it. It's silky smooth (silicone based) and does help make my big pores look not as noticeable. It's an excellent primer and I've been using it every single day lately.<br />

<b>NYX #thisiseverything Lip Oil</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I've owned thousands of makeup products, but for some reason I've never owned a lip oil before. So for that reason, plus the pretty packaging, I had to get this. I've been putting it on my lips at night before bed and I really love how hydrated it keeps them throughout the night. I'll definitely continue to use this nightly.<br />

<b>Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Palette</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Okay, this one isn't drugstore, but I felt I should include it because I really love it. I've been wanting this for a while and finally splurged on it. I'm glad I did. Normally I use powder contour products and was a little nervous to try cream products because I thought they would be messy to apply. I was wrong. I am really impressed with this palette and (as you can see) I've been using it a TON. If you're on the fence about buying this because it's high end and a little more pricey, definitely splurge and get it. It's totally worth it, I promise!<br />
<br />

My mom had a stomach bug and wasn't feeling well, so she went to take a nap. I hadn't talked to her yet that day... I was planning on calling her after work to wish her a Happy Mothers Day. Around 2 PM, her husband turned her over and saw that she was gone. He did CPR and the paramedics did as well, but she had already been gone for a little while so it didn't work. After getting an autopsy done, we learned that she had a massive heart attack in her sleep. She didn't suffer or feel any pain, and she went very quickly. She's had heart problems since birth so the way she went wasn't surprising, but the timing definitely was. I had just seen her at my grandma's wake the week before, and she was doing OK. For her to just go from being fine to dying was such a horrible, heartbreaking shock.<br />

When my Grandma died, I asked God why he took her, but now I realize that if my grandma didn't pass when she did, I wouldn't have had the chance to see my mom again before she passed. (For those who don't know, my mom lived in South Carolina and I live near Chicago...so about 900 miles away.) If my grandma didn't pass away when she did, I wouldn't have gotten to hug my mom, and laugh and cry with her. I wouldn't have gotten to show her our new car and show her new pictures of her grandkids. It was a very short trip so she didn't get a chance to see my kids because we didn't bring them to the wake, but I'm still very grateful that I got to see her one last time. I found a voicemail that I didn't know was there a couple days after she passed and she was saying how I was the most beautiful woman in the room and she couldn't believe how gorgeous I looked, and how proud she was of me. I lost it when I heard that. Everyone has told me I look like her as far back as I can remember.<br />

We haven't always had a perfect relationship. We're both very emotional people and extremely stubborn. (Like mother, like daughter.) We always knew though that no matter what was going on between us, if we really needed eachother, we would ALWAYS be there for each other. No questions asked, without a doubt. It's so hard to not have her here. She was my #1 supporter, my #1 source of comfort, and my best friend. Since I was two, we would say "Buddies for life" and interlock our pinkies, and now I do that with my kids.<br />

It's been 1 week today since she's been gone, and I'm absolutely heartbroken. I can't go an hour without crying, and everything reminds me of her. I feel like I'll never be happy again. She took a huge piece of my heart with her when she went. I'm planning on writing a separate post with a bunch of our memories together. I was going to include it in this one but it would be so long if I did that, so I'll do it separately. <br />
<br />
If you are religious, please keep me in your prayers. If you aren't, please keep me in your thoughts and send me some positive vibes. I've never gone through anything like this, and losing the only two family members I had within weeks of eachother has been beyond heartbreaking. I'm trying to be strong for my babies, but it's so incredibly hard. 💔💔💔<br />
<br />
I love you, Mommy... to Heaven and back. 💖<!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/share/clipdata_180520_052932_888.sdoc--><br />

<br />
I lost my best friend, my biggest supporter, my source of comfort, my everything the other day...my grandma. She didn't suffer, she just passed in her sleep. My grandma wasn't just a grandma to me. She was so much more. She was like a mom to me. No matter what I was going through, she was always there for me. Even through the toughest times in my life. She never left my side. Tears are streaming down my face as I write this. She lived such a full life, and was ready to be with her husband... I just wasn't ready to let her go. Her wake is tonight and I don't know how I'm going to get through it. Normally when something is going on in my life and I need comfort, I go to her... but obviously I can't do that today and it's hard.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share some memories I had with her, more so for myself than anything else.<br />
<br />
I remember playing "grocery lady" with her at 3 years old and her asking me what the microphone was for. I picked it up and said "clean up on aisle 3". She thought that was the funniest thing ever and said she couldn't believe that I knew what it was for. I also remember during this, she would take coffee breaks, and I told her that she took too many. This was one of her favorite memories too and she always loved talking about it.<br />
<br />
I remember going to her house and playing with all of her cans in the basement pantry. <br />
<br />
I remember when my brother was born I was being protective and said no one could hold him. When he came home from the hospital and she went to see him first, I cried my eyes out. She said it broke her heart and after that she always came to me first.<br />
<br />
I remember her coming to my gymnastics practice when I was 6 and being so happy that she was there.<br />
<br />
I remember the many sleepovers at her house growing up. Walking to the park, going to Amazing Savings for toys, watching The Sandlot. I remember when I would get scared I would climb into bed and cuddle with her. <br />
<br />
I remember going back to school shopping with her every year at North Riverside mall and she would let me pick out any clothes and shoes I wanted. She always spoiled me. 💖<br />
<br />
I remember the many Christmas Eve parties at her house. I remember always asking her to make deviled eggs and the cookies I loved so much. She made everything from scratch and even if I used the same recipe it never tasted exactly like hers did. She was the best cook.<br />
<br />
I remember her showing me her ring with all of her kids and grandkids birthstones in it, and telling me all about it. <br />
<br />
I remember her always having candy in her candy dish. I don't think that thing was ever empty. My kids knew exactly where it was too. 😊<br />
<br />
I remember the day I got married, her being there. I remember telling her when we separated and her telling me she knew he wasn't the one. Later she watched me fall in love all over again and absolutely adored him too. <br />
<br />
I remember the making her a great grandma and the first time she met Nevaeh. The first time she met each of the kids. She loved her great grandkids so much. Lexi was her special girl, they were so attached to eachother. <br />
<br />
I remember when I got in trouble at 18, and she wrote to me and never gave up on me. When I came home she took me clothes shopping because I had nothing left, and was so proud of me.<br />
<br />
I remember when she told me about her surviving breast cancer and showing me the prosthetic breast. I freaked out. (I was really young.) We laughed about it later. 💖<br />
<br />
I remember seeing my grandpa's dentures floating in the sink upstairs and running downstairs screaming. She thought it was the funniest thing ever. 🤦♀️😂<br />
<br />
I remember the talks we had and crying together and hugging eachother. I remember thanking her for never leaving my side. I'll never ever forget how it felt to hold her hand or hug her. I'll never forget her scent or her warmth and comfort. <br />
<br />
I remember her taking us to pick out our kitchen table and chairs for our first apartment. They were SO expensive but she was so proud of us and said we deserved it. 💖<br />
<br />
I remember the many breakfast and shopping dates we had with her. And the many trips to Walmart. Those were our thing. 💖<br />
<br />
I remember her always ordering Egg McMuffins and Filet O Fish sandwiches at McDonald's. <br />
<br />
I remember how much she loved where she was living and how active she was in her community.<br />
<br />
I remember all of the 4th of July parades and fireworks at her house in North Riverside. It was a tradition to go together every year.<br />
<br />
I remember visiting her and my grandpa at their winter home in Naples, FL. I loved it there, and so did they. She would make homemade orange juice from the oranges growing in her yard. <br />
<br />
I remember my grandma writing me letters while she was in FL for the winter so I could get mail and practice writing letters. <br />
<br />
I remember my grandma flying me out to Florida when I was in 6th grade so I could go to Disneyworld with her and my aunt and uncle. I felt so special because I was the only cousin that was invited and I got time with her alone. Of course she spoiled me on that trip. 😊<br />
<br />
I remember taking Lexi to the special Christmas event at her retirement community where they had Santa, horse and carriage rides, etc. She was so excited we were there and loved showing us off to everyone. She was so proud. 💖<br />
<br />
I remember her always teasing us about wearing destroyed denim jeans. She always used to ask why we paid for jeans like that when she could just tear them up for free. 🤦♀️😂<br />
<br />
I remember her singing the song "When I'm 64".... I can still hear her voice when I think about her singing it. <br />
<br />
I remember the way she would talk about my grandpa after he died and how much love they had for eachother. I always said I wanted a relationship like they had.<br />
<br />
I remember how she always told me how beautiful I was, even when I didn't feel like I was. She was a spitfire too, if she didn't really think you were beautiful she would NOT tell you that you were. 😂<br />
<br />
I remember her many peptalks and all of her support. I'll never ever forget that. I hope she knows how truly thankful I am for that. I honestly don't know if I would have made it to where I am without her support. <br />
<br />
I remember her always telling me to forgive everyone, and always telling me to pray and stay close to God. She was always so strong in her faith. <br />
<br />
I don't know how I'm going to go through life without her. She's always been my rock. I was her first grandchild and my mom always said I was my grandma's favorite. We were so close. I just hope she's proud of me and is watching over me. She's my guardian angel now.<br />

"God looked around his garden,<br />
and found an empty space.<br />
Then he looked upon this earth,<br />
and saw your tired face.<br />
He put his arms around you,<br />
and lifted you to rest.<br />
God's garden must be beautiful,<br />
He only takes the best."<br />
<br />
"God saw you getting tired,<br />
and a cure was not to be.<br />
So he put his arms around you,<br />
and whispered "come to Me".<br />
With tearful eyes we watched you,<br />
and saw you pass away.<br />
And although we loved you dearly,<br />
we could not make you stay.<br />
A golden heart stopped beating,<br />
hard working hands at rest.<br />
God broke our hearts to prove to us,<br />
He only takes the best."<br />
<br />
I love you, Grandma, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever. 💖💔<br />

<br />
I purchased the Milani "Most Loved Mattes" Palette at Walmart for $20. It's definitely on the pricier side for a drug store brand eyeshadow palette, but it's worth every penny. I was so impressed by it! It comes with 12 shades, a mix of matte and shimmer shades. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has a full size mirror inside as well.<br />
<br />
All of the shades are extremely pigmented, easy to blend, and have minimal fallout. I keep finding myself reaching for this palette each morning because you can do SO many different looks just using this palette alone with its mix of cool toned shadows and warm toned shadows.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p8JcJCWyT64/WtnslgQdU8I/AAAAAAAAI6A/TE7RZrO_u-0BJMiK5QLJer1-Ktzr0TiPwCEwYBhgL/s1600/20180420_080115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1207" data-original-width="460" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p8JcJCWyT64/WtnslgQdU8I/AAAAAAAAI6A/TE7RZrO_u-0BJMiK5QLJer1-Ktzr0TiPwCEwYBhgL/s320/20180420_080115.jpg" width="121" /></a></div>
<br />
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the market for a new eyeshadow palette. It really is great and very versatile. The array of shades would look beautiful on any skin tone.<br />
<br />
Let me know in the comments below if you've tried this palette or what your favorite palette is at the moment! 😊<br />

<br />
I'm so excited, I <i>finally</i> got my ombre mermaid brushes in the mail! They're really great quality, and the best part? (Wait for it....) They were totally FREE! (Seriously. Lol.) They're really good quality too. I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'm debating whether I'm going to use them or keep them for decoration and get another set to use to do my makeup, because they're almost too pretty to use! 😣😊<br />

<br />
I got them from using the app Verydice. It's a super simple (but very addicting) dice game. You can get 30 free rolls to start by downloading it and using my friend code: 1218897. After that you'll get between 1-10 free rolls everyday, and you can earn more rolls by watching short ads or doing quick surveys. Honestly I just use the free rolls that I get daily and let my points add up like that. It's free to download and free to play!<br />
<br />
What apps are you into at the moment? Anything good you think I should download? Let me know in the comments below! 💞<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Brrr it got so cold here in Chicago again. It was beautiful for a couple days, I'm talking upper 50s which is unheard of here in January, but now it's back to being ridiculously cold. 🙄 Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, I went to the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale during the week (and last night as well) and got some amazing deals on done really cute stuff. I love seeing hauls so I thought I would share what I got with you. Unfortunately 99% of my VS Pink clothes (and even underwear...wtf) was stolen last year so I'm starting from scratch. 🙄😔 I was really happy to be able to get a few things and start my "collection" over. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's what I got:</div>

</tbody></table>
These are my absolute favorite out of everything I bought. I was really lucky to get them too because it was the last pair they had and they were hidden in the back. They are normally $80 and I got them for $30!! SUCH a good deal and they are so freaking cute. 🤗 The lettering goes from silver to gold to rose gold, which I love.<br />

This was normally around $50 and I scored it for $22! It's thick and super comfy. The wording is a velvet material and that made me love it even more, so I had to get it.<br />

I got really lucky with this one too, because it was also the last one. In case you couldn't tell, I love anything with bling. 😂 I'm just a little extra when it comes to things like that, I can't help it. This was originally $40 and I got it for $20.<br />

Okay, I'll admit these weren't on sale but I fell in love and had to have them. I literally have over 200 pairs of panties... I could buy 100 more and I will still never have enough. I've been wanting these velvet thongs for the longest time so I had to get those. The black boyshorts were super cute so I added that to my bag, and the last pair says "Pants are useless" so of course I had to buy those. These were 5 for $28.<br />

The 4 on the left came together in a super cute box as a gift set but I opened it before I decided to do a haul and didn't get the chance to take a picture. It was only $10 for all 4! I got it from the Victoria's Secret store, not Pink. The one on the right was purchased from Pink, and it's their "Cool & Bright" body mist. I was in line and saw it on the shelf, and once I smelled it I had to have it. Another thing I collect is perfume/body sprays. I'll never have enough of those either. 😊 This one was normally $10 but I got it on sale for $2.50!<br />

Last but not least, I got two pairs of tye dye logo knee socks. They were free with purchase and since I went twice I got two pairs! They are normally $10 each.<br />
<br />
The sale ends Sunday, and I may go back either today or tomorrow to get one or two more things. I don't have to explain nyself but I don't want people to get the wrong idea. I work my butt off full time (all while raising kids) and am very frugal with my money. I pretty much only shop during sales, at places like Discovery, or at discount stores like TJ Maxx, Burlington, Ross, etc. I take very good care of my things and am very appreciative of and thankful for everything I have. 😊<br />

What was your favorite piece from my haul? Did you go to the semi annual sale? Let me know in the comments below!<br />

<br />
I apologize for not posting as often as I'd like, but between work, the kids, and the holidays coming up, I barely have time to think, let alone blog. I do have a few posts I'm working on currently though, so you'll be seeing those soon. 😊<br />
<br />
Recently I tried something new and fell in love, so I wanted to share it with all of you. I normally get my nails done professionally at a salon, but it gets expensive. It's around $50 every two weeks or so, and that definitely adds up. I saw reviews in one of the Facebook groups I'm in about imPRESS press on nails. It piqued my interest so I decided to try them. (They're only $6 at Walgreens, why not?!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
It was hard to choose which design I wanted to try first. They have so many different designs (matte, glitter, airbrush designs, etc.) as well as a variety of nail tip styles and lengths. I finally picked out a set, bought it and went home to try it.<br />
<br />
They were super easy to apply. It's idiot proof, you would have to <i>try</i> to mess it up. You just match up the right size nails to your nails, take off the plastic backing, and apply the nail onto yours by applying pressure for 30 seconds. It's so incredibly easy and takes maybe 10 minutes total, if that.<br />

<br />
I was surprised at how long the nails stay on for as well. Once they're on, they're ON. They aren't going anywhere. Lol. I keep mine on for about 2 weeks (when you can see the new nail growth on the bottom) and then I remove them and apply a new set. Even when I remove them I have to really pull hard to get them off. Whatever they use to bond the nail to your nail really does a great job; it works <b>much </b>better than any nail glue I've used in the past.<br />
<br />
Overall I give the Kiss imPRESS nails a solid 10/10. They're great for special occasions or everyday wear, whether you're in a rush and need your nails to look great for a date night, or you're wanting your nails to look nice for work.<br />
<br />
Have you tried Kiss imPRESS nails? If so, what did you think? What's you're favorite design? Let me know in the comments below!<br />

Hello Gorgeous;</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I've been trying a lot of new products lately and am going to post a lot of reviews in the coming weeks. I love reading new product reviews because (unfortunately) I'm not rich and have to be frugal with my money. Reviews help me decide what to buy and try out and what I shouldn't waste my money on. Since I've been trying so many new products lately, I thought it would be a good idea to review some of them for you guys so you know what's worth buying and what you can live without. Of course different products work differently for different people, and my opinion/review of a product isn't the end all be all, but like I said it's always helpful to see what other people think about something before dropping money on it. Here are my thoughts...</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<b>Application</b>:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I really like the applicator. It took me a minute to figure out how to get the product out, lol, but once I figured it out I was really happy with the way the product dispenses. You push from the bottom and it comes out of the little holes on top. It's not messy and you can easily control exactly how much you want to come out. Even just touching it for the first time, it's super silky and I loved the consistency. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>First Use:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It's a thick primer but very smooth and blendable. It reminds me of the Smashbox Photoready primer a little bit. It comes out in a nude color but is basically translucent when applied so it will work for every skin tone. It did what it claims and lightly blurred my problem areas/the little wrinkle I have on my forehead and my laugh lines. I applied it first with my fingers, and the next time I used it I applied it with a damp beauty blender. Both ways worked well. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Recommendations:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I would definitely recommend this primer. It's super smooth and blendable, and will fill in wrinkles and large pores. It makes it very easy to apply concealer and foundation over it, and definitely helped keep my makeup looking flawless during a long, hot day. It's also mattifying so it would be great for someone with oily or combination skin. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Final Thoughts:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'll definitely be using this primer often. I would like to try the other products from this collection as well, including the forehead primer, foundation, and the concealer. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer! I apologize for not posting much lately. There has been a TON going on lately and I've been really busy. I'll try to get better about posting more often, I promise! ☺</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Anyway I was sent some goodies from TanTowel to try out. I'm love tanning and self tanning, so I was super excited to receive this in the mail! Here's what they sent:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1BzYLm8Kt4s/WX25Tcw7hyI/AAAAAAAAGd8/RVp9IdtG3WwYZTkewG4Ql6EKckgsiMNFQCLcBGAs/s1600/Picture_20170718_102627985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1126" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1BzYLm8Kt4s/WX25Tcw7hyI/AAAAAAAAGd8/RVp9IdtG3WwYZTkewG4Ql6EKckgsiMNFQCLcBGAs/s320/Picture_20170718_102627985.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I've tried countless tanning products over the years, but had never tried a self tanning towelette before I tried these. I was a little skeptical at first. Here are my thoughts on this product.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Application:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The application was super easy. You just apply the product by rubbing the towel on your face and body in circular motions. There isn't a color guide, so it's easy to miss a spot and not notice. You have to be super careful to not do that. There is one towelette per package, and although it's supposed to be able to cover your entire body, it didn't for me. It started drying out after I applied it to the top half of my body, so I did end up having to use two and a separate facial one for a full body application. I was very surprised how quickly the product dried. I was completely dry in under 5 minutes. I didn't get that awful sticky feeling either, like I do with many self tanning products. My absolute favorite thing about this product is that it doesn't smell ANYTHING like all of the other self-tanning products. It has a citrus scent to it that smells super fresh instead of the dreaded normal self-tanner odor. </div>

<b>Results:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be with the results, to be honest. It did give me a subtle glow, but nothing compared to my Jergens, San Tropez, or Fake Bake products. Maybe it's buildable color and would work better after a few applications, but seeing as they are $27 for 10 towelettes, that would end up being pretty costly. These towelettes might be good to use <i>with</i> another product, but on they're own they're simply not worth it and don't live up to the hype.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>How Long It Lasts:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Because it was only a very subtle "natural glow", the color only lasted for a couple days before it started to fade. You would have to reapply multiple times per week to keep a good color. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Overall Opinion/Last Thoughts:</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Unfortunately I probably won't be using Tan Towels again. They are too pricey and don't give enough color for it to justify spending that much money on them. I do however, think they're good for touch-ups and because they're individually wrapped it makes them very convenient. You can just slip a couple in your purse to use for later. These were nice to try, but I don't see myself going out and spending money on them. The color payoff isn't what I was hoping for, so it's just not worth it in my honest opinion. </div>

Have you ever tried Tan Towel self-tanning towelettes? If so, what did you think of them? If you've never tried these, what self-tanning products do you use regularly/what products would you suggest? Let me know in the comments below! 💖</div>

<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather and beginning of summer! It's been getting warmer here in Chicago, but it's been pretty rainy. Yesterday was absolutely beautiful and sunny, and it's already warm out this morning, so I'm looking forward to taking the kids out somewhere to do something fun before work. We stopped by the mall to get pretzels and smoothies, and of course I couldn't walk past all those stores without stopping in for a minute (or thirty). Lol! Here's what I bought for myself:<br />

(I <i>always</i> get sucked into the shelves they have along the checkout line, with all the cute cheap stuff. Lol. That's where I found these adorable socks. Someone had to stop me from buying another 12 pairs, haha. It was very tempting, they have such cute stuff!!)<br />
<br />
That's everything I bought yesterday, Have you made any recent exciting purchases? What are your plans for Memorial Day?? I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day (and remembers the <b>reason</b> for tomorrow).<br />

<br />
I've been so incredibly busy lately between work and my kids, so I haven't had much time to dedicate to my blog. I'm trying to write a little bit at a time when I get a chance, and I'm determined to post <i>at</i> <i>least</i> a couple times per month, hopefully more often than that.<br />
<br />
Today I wanted to talk about some products that I wasn't very impressed with. We all love to talk about our Holy Grail products- the products we can't live without, but what about the products that were a total fail? Posts like this really help me decide what to buy and what to pass on, so I thought I'd write one of my own to let people know what products I would suggest staying away from. (Some of these might surprise you!)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<b>L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation</b><br />
<br />
The first product on my list, is the L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation. I know, I know, it's a very popular product and most people seem to love it.... unfortunately it didn't impress me at all. I tried it multiple times with different moisturizers underneath, different primers, without a primer, with different setting powders on top, by itself, etc. but nothing seemed to help. I have combination skin, and it definitely seemed to stick to my dry patches pretty badly, worse than any other foundation I've used. I understand it's a matte foundation, but I haven't had this problem with any other matte foundations. The other thing I didn't like is that it didn't keep my face matte for more than a couple hours. I kept having to touch it up with powder, which was annoying. Eventually I had enough and just threw it in the trash. Onto the next....<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Another foundation I wasn't very impressed with was the Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation. This one had good coverage, but once again it stuck horribly to any dry patches I had. I also wasn't very happy with the shade selection. I tried a few different shades and they all oxidized badly after a few hours and turned orange. I'll definitely pass on buying that ever again.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>NYX Lip Primer</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is one of those products that I knew I didn't really <i>need</i>, but wanted to try. (I normally just put on some Chapstick/lip balm before I put on any gloss or lipstick, and it works just fine.) I love the NYX brand as a whole though, so I thought I'd give this product a go. Unfortunately I wasn't very impressed. It wasn't moisturizing at all and the product itself was actually pretty dry. I'm not a fan and won't be buying this again.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Salon Perfect Eyelash Glue</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I was at Walmart one day and saw a pack of lashes that I had to have. Normally I stick with Ardell lashes and Duo glue, but I wanted to try something different. The Salon Perfect lashes ended up being a good product, but I wasn't impressed with the glue at all. It didn't dry down quickly and didn't hold for even half as long as the Duo glue usually holds for me. This product is a thumbs down for sure.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>L'Oreal Infallible Paints Eyeshadow</b><br />
<br />
L'Oreal came out with the Infallible Paints Eyeshadows pretty recently, and I'm always up for trying new things and experimenting with new products, so I bought a couple of these. Come to find out... I should have just saved my money, lol. Normally I <i>love</i> L'Oreal as a brand overall, so I really wanted to like this product but there was nothing good to be said about it. They are cream shadows that never really dries down completely, and no matter how carefully you apply them, the color ends up looking uneven. They crease <i>horribly</i> too. I literally threw these in the trash because I was so disappointed in them.<br />
<br />
Have you used any of these products and what are your opinions on them? Are there any products you've purchased recently that you regret buying? Let me know in the comments below!<br />

<br />
Good morning beauties!<br />
<br />
I got something exciting in the mail yesterday, and wanted to share it with all of you! FabFitFun was kind enough to send me the Spring 2017 box to see what all the hype is about. I've been seeing and hearing about FabFitFun everywhere. There are so many videos on Facebook and YouTube of celebs unboxing their FabFitFun box. If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of FabFitFun (lol), it's a subscription service that sends a box for each season. Membership is $49.99 and each box is a $200+ value. In each box will be a collection of fashion, beauty, fitness, and wellness products hand picked by the company. The products in my box were all full size, unlike a lot of subscription services.<br />
<br />
Here's what was in it:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The box itself was really pretty, and the way the products were packaged was really cute. I was really impressed. They crammed a ton into the box! I was surprised it was as full as it was.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
You can use this for picnics, the beach, concerts, etc. It's perfect for spring/summer and I know I'll get a ton of use out of it.<br />
<br />

The brochure says "this ultra-lightweight spray is fortified with a unique blend of rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to improve hair's softness, strength, and moisture levels, while acting as a barrier against heat". It smells <i>amazing</i>. I already used it this morning, I couldn't wait!!<br />
<br />
<b>Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator $79</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is probably the item that I was the most excited about. Dr. Brandt is pretty pricey, but I've always wanted to try it. I was so excited to see this included in my box. I used it last night before bed and it made my skin so silky smooth. "This formula contains aluminum oxide crystals, lactic acid, and smoothing botanicals to polish away dead cells and leave you with bright, smooth, healthy-looking skin." It definitely lived up to what the brochure said about it.<br />

This is a super cute water-resistant bag. It's big enough that you can fit all of your beach essentials in it (sunscreen, cell phone, water bottle, etc.) in it, or use it to put your wet bathing suit in to take home with you after a day of swimming. I love the little saying on the front too. This is another one of my favorite products from this box.<br />

I was excited to see that this is a 4-pack. The brochure says "dry, dehydrated skin is no match for this deep-conditioning sheet mask. Made out of 100% natural wood-pulp fiber, this single-use mask allows pores to fully absorb essential nutrients and nourishing ingredients for ultimate hydration". I haven't used this yet but am looking forward to trying it out tonight. Look for a review on this in the near future! 🙂<br />

These lip products are made from natural ingredients. The box itself was <i>adorable</i> and the sayings on each item are awesome as well. I'm in love with the packaging as much as I'm in love with the product itself! It comes with a liquid lipstick, plumping lip gloss, and a lip liner. The color is beautiful, it's very pigmented and <i>extremely</i> long lasting. I put some on at work last night, and had to scrub it to get it off 8 hours later! I was very impressed with it's staying power!!<br />

I've seen these in the store, and have heard great things about them. I tried one yesterday and it wasn't bad. I can't make a final decision on these yet because obviously it will take time to see results, but I will be doing a full review in the future, so keep an eye out for that!<br />
<br />
The total retail value of my box was $369! 😱<br />
<br />
Overall I'm extremely impressed with FabFitFun. Now I understand why everyone has been going crazy over it, and why it sells out so quickly! If you would like to try out FabFitFun, they were kind enough to give my subscribers a coupon code! (Who doesn't want to save money?!) If you use my code, "SARAHF" at checkout, you'll save $10 on your first box! Check it out, you won't be disappointed! You can visit their site <a href="http://www.fabfitfun.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, and all of their social media links are listed below.<br />
<br />
Have you heard of FabFitFun before, or ordered from them? If so, did you like it? What is your favorite item from the Spring 2017 box? Let me know in the comments below! 💖<br />

Work Hard, Play Harder Good morning, beauties!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As some of you may know, I recently went back to working full time after taking quite a while off to stay home with my kids. We <b>really</b> needed the extra income so I found a job and have been working full time again for the last few months now. Anyway, I work my ass off, so I always try to set aside a few dollars to get something for myself from each paycheck (after bills, kids stuff, and expenses of course). Since one of my favorite stores (as you probably already know if you've followed me for a while) is Burlington Coat Factory, it's a no-brainer to use the money I put aside for myself there. A little bit of money goes quite a long way while shopping there vs going to the mall. Here are some things I've purchased for my spring wardrobe in the past month or so!</div>

<div>
Not only does Burlington have amazing clothes, they also have a TON of awesome home decor. I could <i>easily</i> spend my entire paycheck there in 10 minutes if I wasn't careful. Lol. I've been wanting a mirrored storage box for a while to put as a decorative item on the vanity I plan on getting (eventually). I came across this one and fell in love. The top of it has fake diamonds (that look real) under a glass panel, and they move around when you open and close the box. I am completely in love and so happy I found this!</div>

A lot of women are obsessed with shoes, and while I love shoes, I am definitely more obsessed with purses. I needed a new one for the spring because my everyday Coach purse that I've been using was getting pretty worn out. I saw this one and fell in love right away. It has gold hardware, and comes with a little wallet. It's nice and big with a dividing pocket in the middle. The little puff ball is mine, I bought that from Burlington a while back but it matched perfectly so I clipped it on there.</div>

We're not allowed to wear jeans at work, so I wanted to buy some more bottoms to wear to work.

I wanted some more fun, springy prints, and at $5.99 you can't beat the price, so I bought two! I'll definitely buy some more when I go back.</div>

I'm <i>so</i> happy to finally be in spring. It's definitely my favorite season and I've been loving the weather lately. It's definitely been warming up! I've been asked a lot (both through this blog and on my personal Facebook page) to do a review on the new L'Oreal Infallible Total Cover foundation, so I thought I'd do that today.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I have very acne prone combination skin. I've gotten it under control lately compared to a few years ago, but it's still not perfect. I still break out and have some blemishes here and there and some acne scarring, so I almost always use a full coverage foundation. I was using the Kat Von D Lock It foundation but it's a little pricey so I don't like to use it everyday. When I saw that L'Oreal came out with a new full coverage foundation, I had to try it. I bought mine at CVS for $11. They have a good range of shades, going from ivory to cocoa. I sometimes have problems in the winter finding a light enough shade for me without pink undertones, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a perfect match (#303). I was also very pleased with the price. It claims: "You can get up to 24 hours of full coverage with a lightweight feel and a natural finish! Blends instantly to cover dark spots, blemishes, scars, and hyperpigmentation for a flawless complexion."<br />

<b>First impressions...</b><br />
<br />
The first thing I noticed when swatching it on my hand, was that it's very thick. You have to squeeze the tube pretty hard to get it out. A little bit goes a long way. Luckily it didn't feel very heavy on my face. I wouldn't say it's very lightweight, but it doesn't feel like a mask either. It's somewhere in the middle. I would, however, definitely suggest using a good moisturizer and/or primer before applying this because it will stick to dry skin and make it very noticeable. This product has a demi-matte finish. It does do a wonderful job covering imperfections. I barely have to use concealer when I use this. My t-zone and chin can get pretty oily throughout the day, so I did have to touch up my setting powder a couple times, but that happens with any foundation.<br />
<br />
<b>Final thoughts...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I'm really impressed with L'Oreal Infallible Total Cover, and have been using it almost daily. It's become a drug store favorite of mine. Unfortunately the tube is only 1 oz., so it runs out pretty quickly. That would probably be my biggest complaint. I would give this product a 9/10 and would recommend it to anyone with oily or combination skin, acne prone skin, and/or skin discoloration that is looking for a full coverage foundation that is long lasting.<br />
<br />
Have you ever tried the L'Oreal Infallible Total Cover foundation? If so, what did you think of it? Let me know in the comments below. Hope you all have a wonderful week! 💖<br />

<br />
The weather here in Chicago was really beautiful for a while, and then this last week it turned cold again and now we're in the middle of a snowstorm! Yes, in the middle of March. 😏 I decided to stay in the house until I have to go to work tonight, so I thought I might as well write a review of the new Moda oval brush set I got a while back. I've been meaning to do it but have been <b>so</b> busy between my kids, their after school activities, work, etc. that I just haven't had the time to sit down and write it. Seeing as you couldn't pay me enough to go outside in this crap right now though, I <i>finally</i> have time to write my review. So let's get into it! 😉<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKaU9SZ4TEc/WMayobf9ERI/AAAAAAAAGV8/2o8xbifpnqsceB7giO7-tBddatHzcMrMwCEw/s1600/15942028_1283147238397810_1540996186_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKaU9SZ4TEc/WMayobf9ERI/AAAAAAAAGV8/2o8xbifpnqsceB7giO7-tBddatHzcMrMwCEw/s320/15942028_1283147238397810_1540996186_n.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>

<br />
The Moda brushes are a perfect dupe for the more expensive Artis oval brushes. I've used both and honestly there is no difference between the two, other than a huge price gap. I don't have the extra $200 to spend on a brush set, and I'm not about to sell a kidney to be able to do so. 💁😂 I wasn't expecting the Moda brushes to be an exact dupe, but I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely suggest buying the Moda brushes over the Artis brushes, because they are just as good. You get the same quality and end up saving a ton of money! I purchased my Moda Prismatic Oval Brush Set from Walmart for about $16. I had been on the hunt for these for quite a while, but couldn't find them anywhere but online. Every Walmart within a 50 mile radius was sold out of them (Believe me, I checked!). Finally one day I was in Walmart looking for something else, and came across the last set tucked away behind a face cream display. (I'm sure someone hid it on purpose to come back and buy it later....sorry! Finders keepers! LOL.) They come in a 4-pack of brushes with a <i>beautiful</i> holographic finish. I honestly didn't even want to take them out of the packaging because they are so gorgeous. They have <b>super</b> soft synthetic bristles. I was really surprised how dense they were, but so soft at the same time.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned, the set includes 4 brushes. The largest one is a 3 inch oval brush. I use that to buff in and blend my liquid or cream foundations. I've been loving using it with the new L'Oreal Infallible Total Cover foundation. 👌 The next brush in the set is a 2 inch oval brush. I use it mostly for blending in blush/bronzer. The 1 inch oval brush works <i>flawlessly</i> for contouring/highlighting. It gives such a nice, precise contour. I am obsessed with this brush and WAY more impressed with it than any other contouring brush I've ever used. The smallest brush in the pack is tiny with bristles that make a circle. I use this brush to cover any imperfections I have. It's very small so you can really get in and cover anything you need, especially in harder to reach places that a bigger brush wouldn't be able to get at. The brush necks are also somewhat flexible which is really nice, because it makes them much easier to maneuver around your face.<br />
<br />
Overall I'm <b>extremely</b> impressed with this brush set. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it's also <b>amazing</b> quality, and definitely worth the hype. They are very affordable and also 100% vegan for those of you that are looking for that!<br />
<br />

<br />
I desperately needed a few things, and have a pretty strict budget right now, so I decided to stop by Burlington Coat Factory, TJ Maxx, and Discovery to look and see what they had. As usual, I picked out more than a few things. Those stores get me every time!! Burlington Coat Factory and TJ Maxx have brand name clothing/shoes/accessories/etc. for up to 65% off retail! Discovery is a great store with inexpensive clothing that is still cute and trendy. Since I got a lot of cute stuff for super cheap, I decided to do a haul for you guys! Here's what I got:<br />

I also got a pair of plain gray leggings from Discovery for $4.99. They are so soft and comfortable! I was surprised that they weren't sheer (like so many leggings unfortunately are). I couldn't take a photo though because they're currently in the laundry. They are just your basic plain, gray leggings that you can wear in so many different ways.<br />
<br />
I'm very happy with everything I purchased, and it was nice to spend a little something on myself for once. I haven't been shopping for clothes in quite a while, and I really needed some new clothes! Comment below what your favorite item from my haul is! Also let me know what your favorite store is to shop at for clothing/accessories/shoes! Keep an eye out for an OOTD with some of the clothing I bought soon!<br />

It blows my mind that it's already December. This year seriously flew by so quickly...and so much has changed for me in my personal life this past year. It's crazy. Anyway I haven't done a review in a while so I decided to review a product that is on a lot of people's wish lists for this Christmas season. </div>

I love Soap and Glory as a whole, their brand is awesome and I am absolutely <b>obsessed</b> with their body lotions. They have such amazing smelling body lotions that make your skin as smooth as butter. The downside of the brand is that it used to be a little hard to find, as it was only sold at stores like Sephora or online. Recently select Walgreens stores started selling Soap and Glory brand products, so of course I went online and searched the closest Walgreens store to me to check out their entire display. </div>

Soap and Glory recently came out with "The Perfect Ten" (limited edition) eyeshadow palette. When I saw this palette I was eager to try it because I loved all of their other products so much. I actually got it as a gift for my birthday and was so excited to receive something I had been wanting to try so badly. The Perfect Ten palette retails for $20.00. It's (obviously) a 10 pan eyeshadow palette, which is perfect for an everyday daytime nude look, or a sexy smokey eye. (The names of the individual shadows are super cute too- Moon Mist, Minky, Nudecomer, Copper, Toasty, Damsel, Cream Soda, Choccy, Plumtious, and Smoulder.)<br />

The packaging was cute, and I love that they included the shades on the back to show you what you were getting. It has a magnetic closure also, and I love that because it won't just fly open inside my purse, and it makes it harder for little fingers (AKA my kids) to open and destroy it. This palette has a good range of shades. I love the first white shade for my brow bone, and the darker shades are perfect for your outer corner. </div>

I have to be honest, the first time I tried this palette, I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping I'd be. The double-sided brush is not good at all (which I wasn't expecting it to be, I rarely use the brushes that palettes come with). The matte shades were pretty chalky which caused a lot of fallout and the palette as a whole wasn't as pigmented as I was hoping it would be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not to be defeated (lol), I tried it again another day. This time I used a primer, different brushes, and a setting spray. Each time before I dipped my brush in the shadow, I sprayed the brush with NYX matte finish setting spray (black bottle). It made the shades <b>much</b> more pigmented and easier to work with. I was much more impressed this time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Perfect Ten wasn't perfect in my opinion, but it wasn't horrible. I don't reach for it everyday but I do enjoy using it once in a while. I like the shimmer shades the best, as they're the easiest to work with. My biggest tip for getting the most out of this palette would be to <b>make sure</b> you use a good eye primer and setting spray on your brushes. Trust me, it will make a world of difference.<br />
