Stella Burlwood Mini Resin Watch Review ♥♥

New hair color ;) Review soon ;) :)

Stella Mini Resin Watch

Fossil's description:  We love the unique combination of faux burlwood and shiny rose gold-tone in our mini Stella watch. Dress it up or down—it’s perfect for every day.

That is probably the best picture I can take of it on my arm lol.  I am left handed so I wear my watches on my right hand..and the camera button is on the right side of the camera making it harder and heavier to snap a shot with my left hand.

Anyways, my new LOVE.  I still love my other Fossil watch, but this one is my go to watch now.  It isn't too dressy and has a touch of rose gold to compliment my skintone.  I have gotten a lot darker but that doesn't matter..I look good in tan/brown lol. 

The resin material is super light and it doesn't bother me to wear it.  I just love that this is simple and different. 

They have a bigger version of this but I got the small one because it looked better on my wrist vs. the bigger one.  I did take a look around the Michael Kor's watches, tried on a few but nothing screamed out to me like this one. 

The sale price on this is $105, but I was talking to the SA yesterday and she says all the Fossil watches have an 11 year warantee on them.  Not bad. 

ELF Eyelid Primer - a hidden gem!

So while I was in Kmart I bought this on a whim because it was only a dollar. I had just purchased Milani's's paint palette and was curious to see how this would work with it.

 My first thoughts about this were it is very greasy and I didn't have much hope for it. I swatched this on my arm and then I applied a few colors from the Milani paint palette. I wasn't too impressed at first until the formula dried and then the colors came out very vibrant. In all honesty I think this primer is better than urban decay's.

For one dollar you really can't beat the price. I'm definitely going to go back and stock up on some a few more of these.

Would I recommend this? yes I would!!

Garnier Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment Review *new love* ♥☻♥

The ingredients look good ;)

Yeap, thats the little man hogging the bed.  Sometimes I wonder how I manage to not fall off the bed..hrm.. :P

Anyways this is such a great product.  I was in the hair care aisle at walmart looking for something to take care of my REALLY dry ends.  Nothing seemed to intrigue me until I got to the end of the aisle and saw this orange bottle.  Tiny and simple.. I picked it up and it said it had argan oil in it so I wanted to try it..not to mention I use Garnier's hair color often so I love the smell of that too.

I showered that night and applied this to my damp hair.  Instantly I saw it smooth ends out.  While it was drying (naturally no hair blow dryer), I noticed that my ends weren't frizzing out and my hair did NOT feel greasy which is a plus for me.  I wash my hair everyday because I have an oily scalp.  The real test was in the morning because usually my hair is really dry then, and this definitely passed the test.  My ends still looked and felt hydrated.

You can pick this up for around $5 depending where you get it.  I would recommend this for anyone who wants lovely soft hair that's not greasy.  I have noticed a great hair improvement with this product.

Xen Tan - Hope for the Pale Faces :)

This retails for $24 at Ulta.  As you can see in the pictuer above, it is olive based so you for sure will not have any orange tint to your skin.

Since I am slightly anemic, my face is really pale compared to the rest of my body.  My body is tan, really tan haha.. but my face..not so much.  I wanted some color for my face since I am uncomfortable with tanning out in the sun, especially with my face since I don't want to do anymore damage to my skin. 

The color upon first application is light, but with the second night of using this I noticed more color.  This definitely isn't streaky, it is gel like and it applies really smooth.  My face looks like it is naturally tan with the rest of my body and I no longer look like a ghost.  This does give me much more confident when i'm at home without foundation on. 

Would I recommend this?  YES! 

Illamasqua Blush in Nymph ♥♥♥

NUFF said.  ;)

Just here to get things off my mind for now. :(

ok i know my latest post wasnt any fun and this one won't be either.  i have discovered a few new beauty items that i absolutely love and will hopefully post as soon as i can. 

but for now it's late, i'm home alone with my son, and i'm feeling sad.  my husbands job demands a lot of hours at work, and i know he works hard for us, but i can't wait til we get out of the military.  i don't think he understands right now what it is like to be on my end at all.  wait, i take that back, i don't think he understands at all what it is to be me at all. 

men - they're taught to not show any emotions or it resembles weakness.  this is true to my husbands part.  there have been many times when i've gone through sometime hard and i've done it alone.  i know, it only makes me stronger, BUT i really need him to understand me this time. 

there have been a number of times when i've wanted to pack up and just go back home, but this time it's happening for real and it's not out my anger or past immature issues. 

a few things i'm afraid of, not wanting to come back to the military life after this move.  i know i love my husband dearly, but i don't know how much more of this i can take.  it hasn't even started but i really hate his job schedule as it is already. 

i'm dreading the moment my son tells me he misses his daddy.  it will absolutely break my heart every time as it does already when we are home.  the shift in life will be hard for him if we move back to the military life.  well it will be hard both ways. 

i'm feeling a little abandoned, almost like i want to hate him so i can just pretend he's leaving because we weren't meant to be.  the biggest thing i see in my head when i look at him now is "i'm leaving". 

i really need to get it together..but i'm scattered in pieces everywhere.  i'm sure one by one ill pick myself back up.

Duty Calls :/

this is just a quick post but also to get things off my mind.  my husband is deploying soon and it's not just for 4 months this time.  it'll be closer to 6-7.  keenan and i are moving in with my parents so they can help keep keenan company while walley is gone.  its stressful thinking about it.  i know i'm in denial.  but its only because if i think about it too much i'll cry uncontrollably.  can't explain the kind of love we have, but when he's gone my heart feels like half of it is missing.  *sigh* im blessed to have keenan there to put a smile on my face and force me to keep moving.  he's counting on me.
