my "best of" for make up.

"

lip plumper by Fusion beauty. this one is fabulous. its expensive but worth it b/c it doesn't sting or have a weird after taste and it WORKS!

"Big, pouty lips of the genetically blessed (or not) have generated a demand for a plumper pucker. Thanks to LipFusion, achieving pout perfection—without a needle—is possible in three simple steps. Starting with the original clear formula, followed by a plumping pencil and colored gloss, a gorgeous, color-full pout can be yours for up to 48 hours."

eye shadow.. by POP beauty. I love this one for Blue eyes. really makes whatever color eyes you have really pop. :)
there are also different intensities. for night, afternoon, and morning events. they have sets for brown and green eyes too.

"Yet another glimmering master class in eye makeup from Pop! These twelve super silky, long-lasting glowing lid finishers have been carefully combined to make your blue eyes pop and sparkle in no time at all! Twelve tasty shades in an irresistible shimmering pink wallet - it's the perfect accessory for those glam parties.

Shades include: dark purple, burgundy shimmer, deep brown shimmer, taupe sheen, lavender sheen, fuchsia sheen, champagne sheen, neutral rose sheen, golden ivory sheen, camel sheen, pink with gold glitter, and peach with gold glitter.

eye liner. the best eyeliner I have ever used. and least irritating to my eyes.
very easy to apply. can be soft or more dramatic.




L'Oreal Double Extend Lash Fortifier and Extender Mascara, Carbon Black
I like this mascara just as well as any of the really expensive kinds I have tried. BUT! you have to let the lash fortifier (white part) dry first! and then apply your mascara to reap the benefits. you can even do multiple coats of the fortifier if you let it dry before subsequent coats.

baby magic


I just wanted to take time to give a really good piece of parenting advice. No, it doesn't have to do with how often to feed or whether you should spank. Its all about the Symphony in Motion mobile w/remote (at least until they are 5 mos old). this is the most amazing form of baby paraphernalia I can think of when it comes to getting a shower or ready for church undisturbed. It even worked on Bronwynne. the songs are classical composers bach, beethoven, and mozart. its not annoying music. but very soothing. you can get it on ebay. it comes in really bright colors or one like this one so it doesn't clash with nursery decor. the remote allows you to turn it back on from a distance.....b/c you know if they see you... you turn into a pumpkin. so... here it is, my gift to anyone else on here thinking of having a baby, anyone with newborns to 5 or 6 months old..... freedom to shower, do the laundry, cook dinner, be with the husband, do your makeup... (oh the days of spending hours in front of the mirror!), whatever you want to do (in fifteen minute intervals) with the Symphony in Motion Mobile.
