This Blonde Does Not Do Mornings!

**This post started the morning of Tuesday but due to a terrible morning and long night at work, is concluding on Wednesday!**   It's only Tuesday... I'm just sayin'!  Being a glutton for punishment, I decided to pick up a dinner shift last night and schedule an appointment across town during morning rush hour for this morning. I've officially lost my mind and feel like I need to duplicate myself, one for day and another for night! Ha! One can dream! Even though I felt as if I needed an endless vat of coffee, I didn't want to appear as such so I mustered all of my energy and slapped some makeup on myself! I used the same palette as I did for the grey smokey eye, but using the pinks instead! I'm a little more obsessed with it than I am the greys but I'm a pink girl all the way!!  Happy Hump Day! When I began writing this post, I was sitting at the airport in Orlando about to take a security test to obtain my badge. I had just acquired a j...

Money Can't Buy Happiness, But it Can Buy Makeup!

It's not hoarding if it's makeup! So, in my usual drugstore search, I discovered a new brand and decided to give some of it's products a go! A few friends and coworkers have suggested it, so I figured why not?! This brand on trial is NYX , it's products: "Pin-Up Tease" mascara, "Push Up Bra" eyebrow pencil, "Super Skinny Marker" liquid liner! This is my current eye routine: I use Younique Moonstruck Fiber Lashes, e.l.f. eyebrow kit, and e.l.f. eyeliner "Kohl" pencil. I used to be a presenter for Younique but selling makeup via social networking was just not for me, however, this mascara is amazing! I am almost out and plan on trying their newest mascara. It is also a two part system, gel and fibers, but it supposed to be waterproof! I use this the eyeliner for the inside of the lower lid and and on the outside of the top lid using the smudger on the end. As for the eyebrow kit, it came with this measly, teeny brush, tha...

Slap on a Little Lipstick and Pull Yourself Together!

It's hump day!  Halfway to the weekend, which usually means nothing to me since I work at a restaurant in a massive theme park! However, this weekend I have one of my closest friends coming to visit and I couldn't be more excited!! She was behind the motivation for me to start this blog, so yall be thankful! Heading into work, I wanted to post just a little something! First off, this blog is means more to me than just an outlet to express myself. It is becoming a way of releasing confidence that I've built up within myself in the last few years. I used to be the girl who threw on whatever slightly matched and didn't give a second glance at my roots or makeup! If I put eyeliner on, I would stun my beau at the time! Since then, I've grown to love myself and learn what makes me feel beautiful, now I want to share that knowledge! Quite wise, haha that's literally laughable! But if some person is taking time out of their day to read this, then I must be ...
