PSA and a product review
PSA – Old Navy is having a killer online sale right now. Matt and I both bought a few new shirts last night. If you need some clothes, def check out Old Navy. The sale ends tomorrow!
Now on to the fun stuff, makeup! A few weeks ago I found a new and great mascara. It’s Loreal’s Power Volume Collagen mascara. This stuff is the bomb! Like for realz!
If there is one makeup item on my must have list it is mascara. I LOVE mascara! I don’t think anyone should ever leave the house without it to be honest. It just gives your eyes a kick. I guess it doesn’t help that I have super light eyelashes and always need mascara. I used to get my eyelashes dyed when I was in Alabama, it was my “treat”. When I moved to Texas it was harder to find salons that offered this service and it was expensive. Not the $10.00 I had been used to. And now that I’m in NC I just haven’t bothered.I ran to Ulta during lunch today and picked up their Day, Night and Play makeup kit. I had a $5.00 off coupon too which is really the only reason I bought it but hey, a girl needs makeup. Maybe I’ll get adventurous now that I have some colors to play with. I am actually pretty excited to think of all the possible colors I can try now. Maybe I’ll try to do a different color every day this week. Hmmm.

This ain’t a fashion blog!
But every now and then I actually have fashion stuff so here goes.
Last weekend Matt and I went to his parents house to the beach. I mentioned his cousin Emma was in town, well as we were leaving his dad wanted a few pics of the 3 of us. Later his mom posted the pics on fb. After seeing those pics I decided I wasn’t really digging my long hair. Now mind you I’ve been growing it since before the wedding but seeing made me realize I was ready for a change. Not a huge change but a change so I made a hair appt for Saturday. When I got the salon I showed the girl a pic and told her to cut it. Aside from my bangs being just a tad too short I am really happy. The length feels good and I think it looks pretty cute. I also think it makes me look younger, though I’m not sure that’s on the plus side.
( posting from my iPad so the pic is at the bottom.)I also wanted to share a little makeup tip since I’m fashion blogging today. A while back a blog I follow on twitter mentioned she was using Olay total effects 7 moisturizer. A little research said it was suppose to improve your skin tone. Well I have pretty crappy skin tone so I love to try things that might help to even it out. I even switched to Clinique’s even better foundation. (Matt wasn’t having the $80.00 for a bottle of the even better serum so this was the next best thing.) The foundation was just a tad heavier then I really wanted for summer and while we were in NYC I decided to compare that with my Bare Minerals. I decided I was digging the Clinique but I wanted it a little lighter so I added some of my Olay total effects to the foundation and blended them on my skin……ahhh perfection. It adds just the right coverage without feeling to heavy. I finish with my BM mineral veil powder to set the look. For me this is a great solution plus I am tone correcting. And to be honest I do feel like my skin tone looks a little more even in the few weeks I’ve been doing this.
I would definitely recommend both products to anyone looking for a change or those who might need a little tone correcting.
