Mascara

I was online ordering some more Bare Minerals Mineral Veil and decided to try the Bare Escentuals Volumizing Mascara. I am a total freak for mascara so let's just say I've tried a few and may be a good judge. In general, this is a good product. Nice packaging, smooth formula, brush is ok. It is a volumizing formula so it is thick. That is normal. You just need to swipe the clumps off the end of brush when you pull it out and you won't have any problems. It does not flake much. Another plus. My only problem was the brush. The bristles are very densely pack and it is hard to push my eyelashes onto it. In my experience blinking down onto the brush normally will shove them through but with this brush it was not as easy so not as much product was getting onto my lashes. Well turns out the formula doesn't dry very fast so you can keep applying over and over and it won't get clumpy/spider leggy. Overall a good product but does not give you as dramatic lashes as say Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Blasting Mascara which is so far my all time favorite mascara. Perfect brush, perfect formula, lasts forever and gives a super dramatic look.

Here is a pic with the Bare Escentuals on. I've got some eyeliner on too.

Happy Admin Day!

I am an admistrative assistant at one of my jobs and today is Administrative Assistant Day or something like that. Waiting at my office door was this.

So sweet! My coworkers are very kind to me. Unfortunately, I ate that whole chocolate candy bar after I finished lunch. The lesson here is don't wait til your starving to eat. But the lesson I learned is immediately distance yourself from anything like this. We already follow a strict no candy/snacks rule at my home. I was useless against this temptation! Gah! Well, c'est la vie. I know what to do next which is don't let this little hiccup discourage me from eating healthy. Onward to greater health!

Spring Time

It is spring and the weather is almost cooperating. Soon I will be playing tennis like crazy. Looking very foward to that. In the meantime, I am trying to decrease my work schedule so that I will have more time for tennis. Anyway, wanted to post these beautiful flowers I saw today.

Salon Effects #2

Just a follow up to the last entry...

Check out ze nails now! Aren't these great?

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

I love pretty much everything Sally Hansen produces but the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips are the best thing EVER to happen to my nail routine. Very easy to apply, no drying time, awesome colors and patterns and they last 7 to 8 days even when I work all of those days. Normally I can only get about 5 days out of regular polish since I paint my real nails and I work so much. Even on the 7th day the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips are only barely chipped.

Here is on day 1.

Here is on day 7.

Pretty great, right?

Old Navy cardigan

I am loving these Old Navy Women's Perfect Cardigans. Definitely recommend them. They are light weight and perfect for spring or for layering in cold weather.
