Random-ness.

Do you ever have those days er, weeks where you want nothing more than to shut your brain off? Hi! That's me right now. It isn't all negative though. Thus, my post today was born. A collection of all the crazy thought swirling around in this noggin of mine plus some exciting news because well, I just don't like surprises.

• Surprise! I'm switching to Blogger! I am really nervous and reading so many mixed reviews on which platform is better. Any help, advice or support will be greatly appreciated while I'm trying to build up my new blog!


• I'm going to Luke Bryan with my family in August!! Hold on- gets better. Not only will Lukey be there but I will also see Lee Brice, Dierks Bentley AND Cole Swindell. Wait what? I know. Magic. in. one. concert.


• Speaking of which all country fans listen to "I Don't Dance" by Lee Brice. I am listening to it on repeat.


• Does anyone here read Two Thirds Hazel? Erin posted today about being the parent to kids that aren't yours and it made me one happy camper. I'm a nanny to two little girls who have completely stolen my heart. I went an entire week without seeing them and it was harder than you would think! We definitely have our days, but I wouldn't trade my job for the world. In regards to Erin's post I sometimes feel as though the other parents are mean to me or look down on me. For example, when I pick Maddie up at preschool there is a mom that ALWAYS slams the door in my face. Bitch. She will also make comments about how nannies just can't teach kids properly.In a days time I do everything they do so what gives them the right? I'm rambling. Just go read her post.


• I told you all via twitter I was going to post about Wen hair care at some point this week. I'm not. Still trying to figure it out which I will explain when I finally get around to posting. Hopefully next week!


• This seasons Bachelor sucks. Andi- That argument was confusing and forced I think. She just wants Bachelorette. Nikki- Really cute and I think would make an awesome girlfriend but I'm not convinced she is 100% ready to be a step mom. Claire- Well, she has crazy eyes. Something is just not right there. You know what JP? I think Renee was your best bet. Dumbass. Thoughts?


•  I desperately need a new moisturizer. Please help!

This was a disaster of a post but what are you going to do? Enjoy Wednesday and follow me on twitter for updates on my new blog! @pearls_sass!



 

Do what you love, love what you do.

A lazy, snowy makeup review.

It is a cold, snowy day here in New England and I haven't done much. I am actually typing this from the floor which you will come to see in the pictures that follow.I have decided to share with you my thoughts on the products I have recently purchased, I am awfully picky with products so the ones that I may not like, you might! (I'm kind of a handful.) Different products are always different on different skin types and tones so don't be afraid to experiment! Anyway- here goes.

(Told you I'm on the floor.)

First- Sephora CC Cream in the shade medium tan. I bought this product in a darker shade as I have been going tanning and I wanted it to match my body. I don't love this CC cream. When I purchased it I was expecting a light product that would provide just a little balance and color correcting in my skin. I'm not one that likes the feeling of having product on my face. I am getting used to it as I have been wearing it almost every day but I don't think I will purchase it again. As a positive it isn't drying out my skin nor making it oily, so while I like it, I don't love it.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer- No thank you. For a tinted moisturizer this is extremely heavy, I would use it as a full coverage foundation. It felt as though I was painting on my face with a heavy acrylic based paint. It also completely covered my freckles which I didn't like at all.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer- I have used this twice and I am thinking it will be given to someone or end up in the trash shortly. I don't find it does much concealing and it is extremely hard to work with. Almost like clay. Nevermind how hard it is blend into the face. I would definitely pass on this product.

MAC Prep and Prime Translucent Finishing powder- I use this on my T-zone to keep from getting shiny throughout the day and right under my eyes to keep eye-liner from running. Love it. This will definitely be a staple in my collection for years.

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara- I bought this at CVS about a month ago strictly because it was on sale for one dollar. Who can beat it? I didn't expect to like it, maybe throw it in my purse for touch ups here and there. I LOVE it. The tube comes with a "length" wand as well as a separate "volume" wand. This product works wonders for my lashes.

MAC Rebel Lipstick- Obsessed. Can't get enough. Creamy and goes on wonderfully. Stays for hours. Buy it.

That is proof that I need to go be productive so that is what I am going to do. I have zero christmas shopping done and that is a serious problem. Off to the mall I go. Happy makeup shopping.

XOXO
