May Favorites!

So, lately I've been on the hunt for cheap drugstore goodies. Here are my new favorite drugstore finds!

L'Oreal's HIP Gel Liner

This stuff won't budge! Ever tired of reapplying that eyeliner on your waterline? Fear no more! I've  applied this & ever after washing my face and using eye makeup remover, and it still stays on! (Depending on you, this could be a good or bad thing!)

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

Ever come home too tired or too drunk to wash that makeup off your face? Problem solved! These babies are inexpensive, get rid of all that makeup, & make your face feel fresh. Say "Yes To" these!

NYX Jumpo Pencils

I've heard great reviews on this product, and they're all true! I bought this in "Lime" and I la-la-love it! I plan on buying a lot more. Just make sure you put on an eye primer first! It also makes a great shadow base.

NYX Candy Glitter Liner

I'd never tried a glitter liner before I got this stuff, and let me tell ya, I adore it! I got this in "Crystal Aqua", this stuff is so fun, great for a night out on the town. It gives you that extra "pop" to your eye for a fun look!

Wet N Wild Color Icon Pallet 

I've been hearing great things about this new line from Wet N Wild on Beautylish, I was pretty skeptical at first because this brand hasn't really been popular since the 90's, ha ha ha! But, I thought I'd check it out anyway. Let me say... WOW! This stuff is great. I absolutely LOVE it! I bought the "Pride" pallet, this stuff is SUPER pigmented, it stayed on all day long (with Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion of course)! I give it 5/5 stars!

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara 

Okay, so this is not a "new" favorite... But, lately I've tried two new $20-$25 mascaras (Bad Gal lash by Benefit & Too Faced Eyelash Injection) and they are nothing compared to this mascara. I swear by this stuff, it stays put all day long, though it is a bit hard to get off, I don't think I'll be using any other mascara any time soon!

Long time no blog!

Sorry for the lack of posts! I've been a busy little lady! Part time babysitter, part time makeup artist! Ha ha!I did bridal makeup about 2 weeks ago, and worked on a photo shoot this past Sunday with Kim Bartel photography! What a blast! Here's a cellphone photo of the makeup ha ha!

These ladies were so much fun to work with!

I'm officially an Temptu airbrush addict. It's so great for the Texas heat!

snow days & the hermit life

Well, I don't think anyone reads this but it's been a while since I've blogged! It's been snowy the last three days in TEXAS! One day it's almost 80 degrees and the next it's 17 & snowing!!

me and my yorkie Lil' Bit...

my favorite picture of the day! haha

soo I've been stuck in the house playing with makeup and mixed up a couple tutorials i found to make my own "ke$ha" look!

this was so fun!

I also listened to the new Kesha CD while doing this so that made it more fun! haha..

What I used: Naked Palette by Urban Decay, HIP gel eyeliner by L'Oreal, 24/7 Glide on pencil by Urban Decay, Blunt by MAC, HighBeam by Benefit, a gold glitter Mascara by bare minerals, and naked lip pencil & lip stick by Urban Decay!

Black swans & broken glasses!

Finally feeling better today! I started my day off right with a cup of coffee, worked on my site a bit, grabbed a shower and took my dogs out.

The beauty of before & afters.. ha ha ha

My best friend in the world picked me up and we headed to Ulta!

I sat in the car and found my sunglasses... broken! How sad!

But it was amusing trying to keep them on! ha ha ha!

Anyway, so we get to Ulta, and I'm looking in the Urban Decay section... and what do I find!!?!?

THE NAKED PALETTE!!!

I was soo excited because it's always sold out, EVERYWHERE! I already have one... But I really wanted another one just in case they stop making them! ha ha!

I always picked up the new L'Oreal HIP cream liner in black... which I love... and you'll see what I used it for later...Also got an Urban Decay lipstick in "Naked" it's such a pretty color! Then my partner and crime headed to WalMart so I could get some flavorless Jello so make those "pore strips" than get all the gunk out of your skin! See the tutorial for that here!

And this was my project for today.... *insert drum roll here*

Can you guess what this look is!?!?

Black Swan!

Ta-da!

Red lipstick, hot tea, & sicky me!

Sunday is my most favorite day of the week! why?

• Grocery shopping with my Stepdad!
• Football all day!
• New episodes of Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, & Holly's World!
• Plus I get to spend all day with my family!

Today was also a very special day because Miss Kandee Johnson's lil cupcake was born this morning, and she is absolutely precious! AWWW!! I am so happy for her and her family! What a little blessing!

So, still sick unfortunately, so I whipped out my "Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System" book and looked up what to do for a sore throat... Mix a tablespoon of ACV and a cup of water and gargle 3 times... It also mentions that Katy Perry uses this to keep her throat germ free too!

Now off to spend some time with the family and watch AFV! Lots of love from Texas!

Skins

sick days & no make up

one thing I really hate... BEING SICK! but sometimes I do... ha ha ha! I actually have an excuse to stay in bed and not go out!

I'm glad I had one fun day / crazy night before my sickness came out! I went out with my brother looking for two player zombie-killing games, which was unsuccessful...then he took me to lunch at Parkway Grill where I got a yummy chicken wrap and drank the biggest beer I had ever had!

then I went to go see TRON: Legacy... again! I love it so much, the soundtrack is perfection ... Daft Punk is amazing and even more amazing LIVE! I feel so lucky to have seen them at Coachella!

the light show was incredible!! anyway, after tron I came home for some more beers :) then went to visit a friend I hadn't seen in a long time.... then the morning after

SICK! YUCK!

Hot tea Earl Grey with honey & lemon... good ole' Nyquil and throat spray... these are not my favorite things ha ha ha! I had the best bath today with my favorite soap (http://www.iviscents.com/) in Birthday Cake, yum! So I'm feeling a little better now...But thank goodness I have found this show on Netflix to keep me company! I'm on season 2 now

I was so sad to see Cassie go... She was my favorite because I think I identify with her most of all.. Today I found out the American version of this show (which I heard is bloody terrible... ha ha ha!) is being taken to Congress to be banned because of the "Child Pornography" ... But for some reason I don't see MTV being dumb enough to actually show naked 15 year olds... anyway... Guess I'll finish my show...

sick kissses & cough syrup,

chels

MORE MAKEUP & BLOODY MARYS!

rude people & the little angels that cured me!

Whew! It's been a long day, I've been awake since 9am which is way to early for me (ha ha ha!) I went out to the "Bridal Market" or Bridal expo to hand out some of my business cards!

I thought this was going to be soo much fun! I was very wrong, people seemed very rude, and people that I gave them to looked at me like I was an idiot...

I got a discouraged, decided to leave, but wait!
I see all the cars parked outside, and what do I do!?
Put my business cards on every car!
I won't let mean people bring me down or discourage me from my love of makeup!

And to warm my heart I received 2 new photos of my Great baby nieces!

Ennovy (18 months) such a precious sleeping angel... My niece Amber named her after her Mom Yvonne... Except backwards (ha ha ha) I love my family!

This is Sa'miah at 4months... she is such a beautiful girl... i can't wait to meet these little angels someday!

I can't believe it's already 5AM in Texas! I just can't get these eyeballs to become weary!

weekend fun!
