New buys and a few photo's ♥

Studio Secrets™ Professional Magic Perfecting Base

This base is supposed to reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines. The product claims to provide a flawless matte finish that makes your skin look smooth and resurfaced. I have only used this "magic base" a few times since a bought it... so far I honestly am not sure if I really am finding it useful. It doesn't really make my makeup look any different than it does when i just use my Cetaphil moisturizer. I will try it a few more times though. It does feel incredibly velvety and smooth though to the touch.

I also bought a few new LASplash pigments: Russet and Lovely. Russet is a pretty brown with gold shimmer/reflects pigment, and Lovely feels more like chunky glitter to the touch. It is a pretty white with fluorescent pink; nice for highlight or inner corner, or for using over another shadow.

Here are a few pictures, the weather has been beautiful the last few days :)






















Recent pictures of my princess

she just recently started being able to sit up by herself... she can only do it for a minute or two right now though without toppling over, hehe ;)

  3. I <3 your skin! What color are you in MAC JW? I always try to guess people's color haha. NC42 or NW30?

    My sister bought that primer not too long ago & I tried it.

    I just hate that you have to dip your finger in it. It is veryy smooth though. After using it 3 times...my skin became irritated.

    I use Ceptaphil Moisturizer & Facial wash too.

    Your daughter is adorable.

  4. @ taj acosta- thanks!! and yes she does lol... I may have to try the smashbox

    @miss p- thank you!! i'll pinch her cheeks for you lol.

    @molly - thank you! I'm an NC42... while at least that's what they told me when they matched me but I feel like its too yellow-ey for my skin. I may have to try the cetaphil face wash, my skin has been breaking out some... i'm not sure what it is though yet :(

    & I looove your outfit, pretty much something I'd wear, love the vest. I love vest, blazers, cardigans - anything to pair with plain tanks & whatnot.

  15. I received the primer in the mail last Friday and I've used it 3 times so far, I don't have an opinion just yet, so far, it feels useless...I'll keep using it to see the final outcome.

    I gotta try that LASplash @ Ulta! It's like 6 lights from my house, haha.

    Me too, I don't use that purse enough! I hate switching out purses...uber laziness!
