Tarte & Epiphanie

I've been wanting to do a post about these two products because I love them so much!  I got them both from the Hubs for Christmas.  He did good!  What girl doesn't want her stocking jam packed with makeup?!?!

Ok, so the first thing is the Tarte Cosmetics NeutralEyes Eyeshadow Palette - Volume II.  This is my go-to eyeshadow every morning.  Even if I am using other eyeshadows, I always come back to this one and use a few of the shimmery ones to blend everything in.  And I can't say enough about the packaging!  I thought it was a clutch at first.  It came with their emphasEYES Aqua-gel Eyeliner in Brown, which I am absolutely in love with.  It may be my favorite eyeliner right now.  A brush and primer were also included.  I'm not sure if this is still available in the stores since he got it at Christmas but I did find it online here.

See, I told you - looks like a clutch!

Notice: While getting this out to take a picture, I dropped it and the one on the top broke.  So. Very. Sad.

Aren't these pretty colors??  The top row is all matte and bottom is shimmery.  I love it because they all compliment each other and you pretty much can't go wrong.  My kind of eyeshadow.  

My next favorite thing right now, is my Epiphanie Camera bag.  I searched and searched for a girly camera bag because I didn't want a plain black one.  I wanted the durability and functionality of those bags but I wanted it to match my style.  I found this website and I was like a kid in a candy store...candy website...whatever!

Isn't it just LOVELY?!?!  This picture does not even do the color justice!  And the little camera makes me smile every time I see it!  My favorite thing about this bag...it's lightweight.  It doesn't hurt my shoulders from carrying it around all day.

On the inside, there are all these compartments you can put several lenses in.  I use one for my wallet when I'm using this as a purse.  And yes, I do use this as a purse when I know I'm going to need my camera.  

Here are two more of my favorites from their website.  

These are a bit pricey but worth every penny!  Especially if your hubby buys it for you! :)

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
