Nails of the Day- Essie Love and Acceptnace

Love this polish! I am new to the nail polish craze and I am becoming obsessed! I love Essie polishes. So smooth and quick dry time :-)

High Five For Friday!

This has been a long week.  I am so excited for the weekend.  I can sleep in until 8 am.  I am living on the edge.

And now for my week in review.

1.  I have a new obsession.  Nail polish.  After making 2 trips to Ulta I have settled on a lovely shade of taupe.  Bam!

(and the little person loved it too)

2.  My kitchen has been demo'd!

3.  I love LOVE my new bag

4.  Easter Egg Hunt this weekend!!

5.  The Weather is getting warmer!  This means color has exploded in my house!!!!

March Favorites

It is already April.  I need to start Christmas shopping or I might miss it.  I have been working on launching a website for my side business as a makeup artist.  Slow and steady wins the race, right?

I had so many favorite things this month.  It seems brings out the over spender in me.

And without further ado...


MAC Pro Longwear Foundation
I know I gave up on this last year, but I have begun mixing the NC 20 and the NW 20 together and it is amazing!

Bare Escentuals Handi Buki Brush
I don't use mineral makeup.  I breakout and look like a pizza.  I can't throw away a makeup brush if it still works so, I held onto it.  For 10 years.  This brush is amazing for applying my liquid foundation.  It was by total accident that I started using it (OK, all my other brushes were dirty).  If you have this, try it.  It is the BEST finish I have ever achieved.

MAC Technakohl Eyeliners
I recently purchased a few of these and I LOVE the wear on them.  They last all day for me without budging. These aren't recommended for the waterline, but I have done it and I can still see, sort of.

Benefit Powderflage
March was busy, and I forgot to sleep.  This help mask the blue/gray circles under my eyes.  It doesn't get cakey like other powders and it feels like silk.


Revlon Lip Butter- Tutti Frutti
Pantone told me this years color is tangerine, so I have to obey.  Since I am not one to wear much color on my lips, this is the perfect hint of orange without being overkill.

Simple Gentle Cleanser
Since I am a sucker for a good commercial, i decided to try this when I lost my CeraVe cleanser.  It has calmed the inflammation down and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after I wash.  And it was only 7 dollars!


Color Club Neon Nail Polish
I got this in my March BirchBox.  I am not one for bright nail polish, but this is completely wearable.  The finish is smooth and opaque and the dry time is so quick.


Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Blow Dry Perfector
Let's just say, I no longer need my straightening iron...I am in love.

This last one is not a beauty product, but I love it, and it truly is a favorite...


Michael Kors Hamilton Tote
Words can't express....

I would love to know other people's favorites :)
