PSA and a product review

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. 🙂

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.
