I decided to do a look and tutorial with some of my new stuff. The Precious palette by LA Colors didn't show up as well with a brush and eyelid primer as it did with a sponge tip application on concealer when I swatched them, so I had to toss in a MAC eyeshadow to bump the look up to what I...

On Saturday, my mom babysat my daughter and kept her overnight, giving my boyfriend and I a day and night together. Unfortunately, being a single mom limits my availability so most weeks we don't see each other more than a few hours on two separate days. The times we get a (nearly) full day...

I needed to do something bold and bright, and so I decided to do a tutorial for it in the process (check out the links in my signature to see it). I've gotten my body more tan, and while I don't want to quite even out my face/body, I do want to get my face a bit darker so I don't have to load...

I wore this for a girl's day with my dear friend. We saw a movie, went out to eat, did a little shopping, etc while her husband watched our kids. It was a much needed break! So rarely am I able to have a day to myself without having to stick to a schedule or be back by a certain time. The life...

On Saturday we celebrated my best friend's half birthday. Yup, I said half birthday. Her real birthday falls right between Christmas and New Years, and unfortunately that means it doesn't always get celebrated as it should. Soooo we decided to do a half birthday party! And it was awesome...

Why would they say that? When I saw my mom while wearing this, she immediately started complimenting it and asking if I had taken pictures of it. Of course I did, mom! I pretty much always take pictures of my makeup! And I'm glad I took them right away... Because a couple of hours later...

I wore this one last week... A friend asked me what my inspiration for it was and the answer is that it's just summer. I just wanted something warm and summery after all the rain we had here in NorCal the last month. It's finally sunny again... And hopefully will remain that way for the next few...

This look is totally inspired by Jennisse's new tutorial. I thought it was cute, and decided to do it myself. I didn't love the way it turned out on me, as much as I liked it on her, but I did still like it enough. Foundation & Concealer: MAC Select Cover Up...

Last week was my boyfriend's 31st birthday, and I wore this to his birthday lunch with his family, plus a doctor's appointment I had just before. I opted not to do color on my lower lash line, which is unusual for me, and I can't decide if I like it or not. Do you prefer me with or without...

I had to take my mama to the doctor a couple of days ago, which required me getting up at 4:30 in the morning. Blah! I decided to keep my makeup simple and do bright lips, to save time. Foundation & Concealer: MAC Select Cover Up Concealer (under eyes) MAC Studio...

I wore this to a Memorial Day BBQ, followed by a wig party. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of me in my neon pink wig though :( By the way, I tried a little something different with my eyebrows... What do you think? Foundation & Concealer: MAC Select...

I wore this to my boyfriend's niece's graduation party :)I wore it with this exact outfit.Unfortunately it ended up raining, so we were all crammed indoors for what was supposed to be an outdoor BBQ, but it was still enjoyable. Face: Olay Complete moisturizer...

This is a look using my second WNW trio (click here to see the first) :) One thing that I've noticed about these is that the colors on the WNW website look completely different than the true colors of the eyeshadow, which is annoying. But I'm still loving how pigmented these are...

I recently picked up a couple of Wet n Wild eyeshadow trios because they were less than $3 and I hear nothing but rave reviews about them. Now that I've got some in my possession, I can definitely see what the hype is all about. They're super pigmented! Here's a look using one of them, as well...

I did this using my new palette :) It was for a playdate for my daughter and a few other kids, and then a shopping trip and dinner with a friend. Face: Olay Complete moisturizer Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer in Blend MAC Select Cover Up Concealer...

I wore this to take my mom to a doctor appointment last week, and to help her out after. She ruptured her ear drum and it throws off her equilibrium, so I was her chauffeur and assistant that day. I did this look using my new palette and lashes! Face: Olay...

This wasn't worn for anything special, just to run errands mostly. I wanted something soft, but not totally neutral. Face: Olay Complete moisturizer Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer in Blend MAC Select Cover Up Concealer (under eyes) MAC Studio...

I think I wore this to get my nails done... But I don't remember for sure. I wanted to keep the look simple, because I didn't know what I planned to wear when I did my makeup that morning, so I went neutral on eyeshadow. The lips are, again, Angel on top of the original Viva Glam Gaga...

This is what I wore on Mother's Day. Not quite what one might picture for the day, but I don't typically stick to what's conventionally appropriate for specific things. While grabbing some last minute items at Safeway, I asked my 4 year old daughter if she's embarrassed to have the mom with the...

I wore this on a day with my daughter (park, library, Starbucks, candy shop, etc) and then to see my man. For my eyes I literally just layered the Golden Amber over the Sable. And for lips, I layered Angel on top of Viva Glam Gaga...
