Over it.

Lancome makeup that is. I am a creature of habit. At most restaurants, I've only tried 1 or 2 of the menu items, because I get the SAME things over and over. Why mess with a good thing right? Well, I am also a creature of habit when it comes to my makeup. I've probably been wearing Lancome makeup for 8 or 9 years now. I wear makeup everyday, but I am not one of these that is obsessed with makeup...I don't play around with new things, I don't buy new shadows, glosses, etc. all the time. Call me boring, I guess. I also "do" my makeup the same way all the time. I need to get out of my comfort zone desperately. Well, it's time...I am sick of Lancome. Don't get me wrong, it's very good makeup...but for some reason it's just not working for me anymore. I feel like it melts off much more easily than it used to...or my skin has just changed over the years...whatever the reason I am ready for something NEW. But, what?!? I want coverage, but not "caked on" looking...I need recommendations!

I also have been having awful problems with my mascara smudging. I have decently long lashes, so I've never been too concerned about mascaras, I usually can use anything and I am pleased. This also has to do with the fact that I am pretty low maintenance when it comes to makeup. I've worn several different kinds of the lancome mascara, but I was always just as pleased with the cheapie drugstore kinds, so why pay that much more money. I wore the pink and green bottle of maybelline, for like...forever and it even started smudging on me recently. I don't know if my lashes have gotten longer (wouldn't make sense?) or what...but I swear after a day at work I come home now, and my mascara is smudged all underneath my eyes...annoying! I am currently using this falsies volume express, but I am still having problems with it being smudged...HELP!
I tried this mineral make up once...hated it. Took way too long to get enough onto the "oscillator" to be any good.
This is my "go to."
I do still love this powder...dual finish.
Chanel? Nars? Bobbi Brown? WHAT NEXT?

    I am having the same problem. I am trying MAC right now and it seems to be working. I have also started using a different mascara. I use the yellow tube (don't know the name) made by Cover Girl and haven't had problems with it yet. I did just start using it last week though. If you find anything good, let me know!!! I hope you are doing well.

    Two fab mascaras are Maybelline Full N Soft and L'oreal Voluminous. I have been using Benefit Hello Flawless powder foundation and loving it lately. Also loving Too Faced Primed and Poreless powder, used as my setting powder. I have pretty oily skin and these work well for me. I've never been married to one particular line, although I still go back to Clinique every now and then. I mainly wander around Sephora (in store and online) and try the things that grab my attention, no matter what brand. Sephora has a great return policy if something doesn't work for you. Have fun shopping! (And I don't work for Sephora, just love makeup!)

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
