Anime eyes - It's what happens when your bored

Sooo, I was extremely bored Wednesday since I had to have a procedure done on Thursday which involved being on a liquid diet the day before and not leaving the house, I'm sure you can guess the procedure =/. Anyway, I thought I would play with some makeup. I had watched a Youtube where this girl did an Anime Halloween look. She did an awesome job, way better than me. I have to admit I didn't try too hard at this look and I did both eyes within 10 minutes, which you can tell from the results lol. I wasn't even going to do a post, but I figured why not.

So yes, Anime eyes. It's what happens when your bored 

My favorite setting powder

I've been using this Maybelline Instant Age Rewind powder for a while now. I love it as a setting powder and I would say it's comparable if not better than MAC's mineralize skinfinish natural. I apply it over my liquid foundation and you seriously can't even see my pores!

It looks a little chalky on my finger, but not at all on my face. I apply it with a big fluffy brush and it's absolute perfection. The only negative to this powder is that it's SPF25 so it does NOT photograph well.

Unfortunately, I tried this powder for the first time on a night out when a flash was going to be used forgetting that it contains an SPF. As you can see it leaves a serious white cast, but in person my face and body completely matched. I still love the powder, just for day time wear though or when I know I won't be taking any pictures with a flash. Notice how smooth and even my skin looks? It's almost as if the skin is blurred, it just looks flawless.

Have any of you tried this powder before? What's your favorite setting powder?

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was pretty eventful. I went to a Saints game and a festival. I'm a huge Saints fan and I'm  so glad we finally won.  It was starting to look pretty bleak for a while, we're 1 and 5 now, which still sucks but at least we don't look as pathetic. 

 They gave out pink ribbons to everyone in honor of breast cancer awareness month. 

Fall Inpiration

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I can't wait to start dressing in layers. I love scarves too so I'll be able to pull them out, I even wore my Givenchy one yesterday for the first time. Here are some outfits that are inspiring me this season

 

Perfect for a night out

What's inspiring you this season?

One day...

We all have aspirations or things we want to do, see or experience at some point in our lives; a bucket list of sorts. Even a list of goals of things you would like to accomplish at some point. I think it's important for people to have a list because if keeps them focused on things and helps them get to where they want to be in life. Besides, the journey of life is so much more fun when you have things that you look forward to or work towards. These are some of things things I would like to do and see.

Mint Green & Gold

The other night I went out for some dinner and drinks w/ the hubby and we met up with some friends. I wore this mint green shirt that I got from Forever21 with white Hollister shorts. Jason in the back =P

Check out my new phone. I got the Galaxy SII. I think the SIII just came out, but I thought it's screen was too big. I put my hair up in a large sock bun. I've been wearing my hair a lot like that lately.
