Come Back To Me


I don't know where my heart has been lately.  Every since that thing happened and all the hurt and suffering I went through, I just don't know how I can even start to talk about what happened, and how I feel. 

I run like I always do.  I've ran so far I don't know where I am. 

I lost you once, and for a while there it just seemed like a dream.

What's Baking in my Oven? NOTHING! What you smell are my scented wax tarts ;)

 YUMMY scents!
 
These are the new ones that are supposed to have an easy clean up.  When the wax dries you can take it out of the warmer easily.   
 
This is just what I store them in.  I don't have a huge collection..YET!  I have two wax warmers, one upstairs in our master bedroom and one downstairs in the entry way. 
 
Honestly I do love the Scentsationals that's sold at Wal-Mart.  They have a great selection for $2 and I find I can melt them for a few days and the smell will still last. 
 
Just wanted to share a little bit of what makes me happy..a nice smelling home!

Silver & Black Crease Cut Tutorial + Pics



There are SO many tutorials on youtube BUT I just wanted to give it my twist.  I wanted to wear a black top (which I really don't own) so I had to go with my corset I bought years ago from Forever 21.

This was such a daring look to pull off for me because I don't like wear full blown black eyeshadow, and although this wasn't straight up black, it was totally something I would only wear if I were in the dark somewhere..haha.  Oh yeah, after I got done taking these pictures, hubby tells me we need to get a few things from the store.  TARGET was extremely packed with kids and parents going back to school..I was like wow what a day to wear this look.  ^_^

The eyeshadows I used are all from TheBalm's NUDETUDE palette.  Eyeliner is by NYX, and NYX silver glitter liner was applied to my lid.  Eyelashes are from China and eyebrows are by NYX.  Silver eyeliner is from Essence.

Jordana's Twist and Shine Balm Stain Review + Swatches!


Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Sweet Pink
Here's what Jordana says on their website about the balm stain:
• Moisturizing Balm Infused with a Light-Weight Stain
• Applies with a Glossy Finish then Transforms into the Perfect Flush of Color
• Long-Lasting
• Retractable, No Sharpening Required
• Paraben-Free
• Made in USA
 
I dropped by my local Walgreen's and found this for $2.99.  I've heard some news about this on Noveau's blog and thought i'd give it a try since the price was very friendly and I love Jordana.

What it look like on my arm..freshly applied.
 

On my lips (my skin is a little dry right now sorry!) I didn't have to apply a lot to get the color to show up on my lips (a plus!)
 

After I blotted off the balm, there is a stain!  I wiped and wiped and it didn't budge. 

PROS:
True to color
moisturizing
leaves a stain (as claimed)
cheap!

CONS:
MORE COLORS! I would love to see a wide color range in these.

Overall this really does beat Revlon's or any other balm stains I've tried.  I truly am loving this because my lips still feel moisturized.  Another thing to note is that there is a sweet smell to this, and it's not bothering to me at all. 

SO, if you can.. grab these if you love balm stains!
