New Shoes. Drool.

Hi ladies,

Just thought I'd share my most recent splurge- and they're consignment, so not nearly as big of a splurge that they normally would be! These are my new Michael Kors platform sandals.
Funny story actually. I was shopping THREE YEARS ago, and I fell in love with these shoes (but in a dark brown), but they had sold my size, 9, the day before. Oh, and they were like 60% off... uhm... So I have pretty much been fantasizing over these shoes for the past THREE YEARS.

And I go to my fave designer consignment shop and.... OMFG.

Spring Cleaning- BLOG SALE!

Before I started blogging and youtubing I had a decent amount of make up but now it's really gotten out of control. I can't things just sitting there... even if I do love some of these products. They just don't get use by anymore and need a home. Hopefully will find something and put it to good use. :)

I do love this products but I already have one opened so this unopened one is just sitting there. *sold*

MAC Strobe Liquid- 50% left (Retails $29.50) $10 *SOLD*

Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation in the color SP50 Used 4-5 times (Retails $34) $24

This is a GREAT foundation in my opinion but since I've started using my self tanner more this color is a little bit too light for me. No point in it just sitting there. I do love it though! I'm going to get a darker color for summer because it has SPF 42 in it!! :)

MAC Mineralize Blush in Fad-dabulous - used 3 times (discontinued) $20 *PENDING*

MAC Minerlized Blush in Earth to Earth -used once (discontinued) $22

As you know I did just do a blog post about this but as I said the color was a bit dark for me and I  just wasn't the biggest fan of this. There are marks in this from where I used the brush to stipple it. 

NYC Chroma Face Glow in Sunstone (used 3 times). This product has been discontinued and was a limited edition item. $4 *SOLD*

NYC Chroma Face Glow in Sunstone used twice $4 *PENDING*

I love both of the Chroma Face Glows but I bought 4 of them because they were limited edition.

This was once my favorite highlighters but I have since taken in way too many other "pinkish" highlighters that I love a little bit more.

New Movie "BABIES" coming Mother's Day weekend.

< p="">




"BABIES" is a new film opening Mother's Day weekend.  The film is about 4 of the world's newest humans.  From First breath to First Steps. 

The adventure of a lifetime begins…


Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès, from an original idea by producer Alain Chabat, Babies simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. The children are, respectively, in order of on-screen introduction: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco.



Re-defining the nonfiction art form, Babies joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.



A Focus Features presentation of a Chez Wam/StudioCanal co-production with the participation of Canal +. Babies. Executive Producers, TBC Productions, Chez Wam. Original Idea, Alain Chabat. Adapted by Thomas Balmès. Edited by Craig McKay, A.C.E., Reynald Bertrand. Produced by Alain Chabat, Amandine Billot, Christine Rouxel. Music by Bruno Coulais. Directed by Thomas Balmès. A Focus Features Release.



In theatres Mother's Day Weekend, May 7th.


They will chronical simultaneously:

 Bayar from Bayanchandmani, Mongolia






Hattie from San Francisco, CA



Mari from Tokyo, Japan



and Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia



Here are some Exclusive film shots from Meet Ponijao.  How sweet!







This looks like a cute film. I think it would be very interesting to see how children are born and raised in other parts of the world.




This is what USA Today is saying about the movie:

My boys needed new soccer cleats for the upcoming spring season. I happened to notice while out that Famous Footwear had their great buy 1 get 1 half off sale.  Works out for me.  I also have the Famous Footwear rewards card (free to get so i recommend it. They also send you great coupons throughout the year on top of the rewards you earn).  So I looked at the soccer cleats.  Got both of the older boys a brand new pair of Nike Soccer cleats and only came to $29.99 for both pairs all together.

These are the ones I bought for them:

Goodbye Darkness- Get rid of dark circles

Now these are some tired momma eyes. I have blueish/purple circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep (almost 3 years of it) and I pretty much look tried ALL the time. Dark circles can be very aging on the face so I had to find a solution to this pesky problem. My eye "bags" are also a little puffy and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that. 

Dark circles all natural and at their finest.

Step 1: I added YSL Touche Eclat (color #1) to add a subtle highlight and brighten up the darkness.

Step 2: Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Light Golden. Because I have blueish/purple circles I picked a concealer with a yellow base to help counter act those colors. I also took the concealer down on my nose and between my brows. 

Step 3: Benefit Powerflage really helps to even everything out and camouflage any darkness that your concealer didn't cover.

Here are the products:

The YSL Touche Eclat is a highlighter pen made to give you a refreshed look and help cover up any minor darkness (such as an acne scar). I'm still figuring it out and my feelings are a little mixed on this.

Amazing Concealer: I can't say enough AMAZING things about this product. It wasn't named the 'Amazing Concealer' for nothing. It's creamy, easy to work with, doesn't set into fine lines and covers those dark circles right up.

Benefits Powderflage: This product really is quite cool. It smooths out everything under your eyes and takes away any darkness that your concealer could not cover. It's a VERY light, barely there powder!

I think using all of these products really help to make me look feel more awake and not look like something out of the night of the living dead.

Do you have certain products that you consider a "miracle" to disguise dark circles? Now only if I could figure out a permanent way to get rid of the bags. :(
