My Stash

(Here is Rocco, my boyfriend, bc he is SO dang cute! Now back to topic ha!)

Why do we have so many products and things??? Being a woman is totally ridiculous!

But here I am....

I get asked a lot about my eye make-up (don't judge the above Tired Mom photo lol). So I was going to share a few of my favorite things as of right now.

Clearly Vaseline is my thing so that is always included lol....can they just get me to promote them lol!!!

I am obsessed with cream eye liner now. I just started using it for the first time. It lasts all day and does not move!!! I use a tiny brush to brush it on. At first I'd always tell make-up artists NO, I don't have time or patience for that. Well I love it so much. I do it in black of course but I do use a copper color pencil liner on my bottom lashes and then I use a little black pencil to fill in on the top because your lashes look thicker when you fill it in. The cream eyeliner is great for a cat eye. I wish I had cute photos to show you but sometimes I can nail the cat eye. My friend Lacy and I always say we do a cat eye to look younger and bring your eyes up!!

I always do a pretty neutral eye shadow all over (I have large eyes so that means a lot of space for art!!). My new favorite color is Burgundy Chic by Merle Norman as my darker color. It is AWESOME. I'm guilty of doing 3 or 4 eyeshadows at a time but I never do when I use burgundy chic.

Anyone who knows my daughter Cecilia knows she puts the SASS IN SASSY!!! Girl gets it honest. She is getting her own vanity with a little stool and her own make-up to get ready in her closet. She is fabulous at four. Cecilia loves the Urban Decay Glitter Liners. (Expensive taste). She will do a line for a little sparkle or we will just color her whole eye with it, haha. I am sharing this because I LOVE sparkle and I do this above my cream eye liner and always notice people staring at my eyes then. Grab one ladies from Ulta!

I started trying a new mascara too! I try many mascaras. My favorite, I've said before, is Better Than Sex Mascara. But, I wanted to try Too Faced "Better Than False Lashes." It is a three step process. Nuts I know but it doesn't take long at all. I was intrigued because it has actual fibers you put on your lashes. I am still not certain it is worth $35 when I can get Better Than Sex for a little cheaper but it is pretty good so far. I've only used twice so I can't tell you yet. What's your favorite??? I'm always looking for a good one!!!

Lastly, I know it is winter and some ladies skip on shaving all the time but this girl, I can't. I have a weird thing about feeling hair anywhere on me. I can't deal. So, I shave every day. To keep my skin soft and not dry, though, I only use EOS shaving cream now. It is my favorite. I can't stand skintimate and those others now. Just thought I would share if you haven't tried that one.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are going to celebrate a beautiful debutante in the family so that means we get to get ALL dressed up! We can't wait to dance and enjoy a yummy dinner and drinks.

Here is  CIRCA 2007 of my husband, Patrick, and I as he presented me as a debutante. I know the dresses these days are going to be way more fabulous!! I'm excited!!!

Kisses,
