Newest Family Member




The hubby and I went to the Atlanta Pet Rescue where we adopted Toby (formerly Romeo) on August 13, 2010! He is a 2-year old Bichon Frise. He is the cutest thing!

Unfortunately, we had to take Toby to the Vet and they told us he has pneumonia. Poor guy! We are hoping he gets better very soon!

Makeup Guru


So, I've been thinking of changing the name of my blog since the hubby isn't really involved in it. haha I basically post about the house and do product reviews, so we shall see what I come up with.

If you haven't noticed, I love makeup! I don't go crazy wearing it, but I think I like collecting it...haha Anyway, here are some products worth mentioning.



Chanel's duo eyeliner in black & Sisley's phyto-blush in pinky rose


NYC's blushable creme sticks in Big Apple Blush & Urban Spice.
You can get these at local drugstores. They are great for a quick touch of color and you can also use them under your powder blush for all day wear.

These are the creme blush swatches. They may look dark and very pigmented, but are very sheer once blended in. I think these were like $2-3 dollars each.


These 4 products are NYX from Ulta. (www.Ulta.com) First two are eyeshadows: Aloha and Pearl White. The lipstick is in Watermelon (gorgeous color) and the lipgloss is in Smokey Look.
This line is very affordable! The lipstick was like $2-3 and the eyeshadows were probably $3 something. They have a wide range of colors. Worth looking into either at their store or online. :)
I recently had my makeup done at Mac. I wanted to try some of their products from their new collection " In the Groove". I ended up getting the brush cleaner (very important to keep your brushes clean!), 2 Mineral Skin Finishes, cremesheen lipstick, and dazzleglass lipgloss.


Mac's Mineral Skin Finishes in Soft and Gentle (I use as a higlighter on my cheekbones) and Petticoat (I use for blush or highlighter). Petticoat is such a pretty color. These pictures don't do it justice. Both products give you a really nice glow without being too shimmery. My favorite Mac product so far :)

Swatches of the MSF's. The bottom one is Petticoat, but it looks more pinky/rosey in person. It's also not that dark. The top one is Soft and Gentle. Colors look way better in person.
Mac cremesheen lipstick in On Hold and Dazzleglass lipgloss in Money, Honey


I'm not a big perfume wearer. When I do wear them, I only like fruity scents like Escada or Jo Malone. Marc Jacobs has a nice one called Daisy. It kind of smells like fresh cut grass...haha I got the one in the rollerball so it would be easy to put in my purse or to travel with.

Well, hope you liked the reviews on the products and if you like playing around with makeup go check them out. Here is the Ulta link: http://www.ulta.com/
