Beauty Box Reveal!!

First I want to thank Tiffany at Blabbering Thoughts for hosting this fun beauty swap.  Also want to thank Megan and Andrea for co-hosting with her!!

Blabbering Thoughts

I finally received my package after a loooonngg week of waiting ... gotta love snail mail!!  The first swap I did, my package to someone got lost and now this time the package to me got lost!!  Maybe I should stop doing swaps....yea right! :)

It was definitely worth the wait though...Cassie @ Overuse I Love You hooked me up!!  Look at everything I got!!

  • LA Colors Eyeshadow in Lotus.  I've seen this brand before and have been wanting to try it out.  I love trying new eyeshadow colors - my favorite color in this trio is the pink!  How fun!
  • Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish in How I Met Your Magenta.  This color was so perdy!  It had almost a gold shimmer to it.  I painted my nails with it as soon as I opened up my package and it was dry by the time I got done taking pics!
  • Two Nail Files (which I NEEDED).  I love the bright blue and pink colors.  Not that it really matters if they match or not, but I love how she color coordinated the polish, eyeshadow, and nail files.  It's the little things :)
  • LA Colors Lipgloss in Clearly Said.  I've been needing a good clear lipgloss and this is very moisturizing as well as super shiny.
  • A CUTE CUTE necklace - it says Live Laugh Love - the camera on my phone wasn't cooperating and wouldn't focus.  Guess I should actually use my fancy camera, huh?  And, if I stalked her correctly on the internet...she MADE it!!  Go check her store out here.

And look at that cute little basket she sent the nail polish and necklace in!!!  Thank you so much, Cassie, for spoiling me with all of my new beauty products!!  Go show her some love here!!

I sent my package of goodies to this amazing blogger, Christine!  Go check out her blog and her Beauty Box Reveal!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture but I was more focused on getting some makeup on my fac

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people.  Ok, maybe it's not t
