Lorac was on HauteLook again. This time I wanted to try the Cococin Cream Compact Cream Foundation.
The Cococin Cream Compact Foundation was $5.00 each.
I also purchased another Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup.
The Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup was $3.00 each.
I can tell I’ve gotten darker. The Cococin Cream Compact Foundation was a little light on me. Shade CR8
I applied the Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup over the cream foundation. This seemed to work. Shade WD5
Nature’s Shea Butter had a sale offering 30% off any purchase on their website. I don’t need any shea butter at the moment. LOL! I did order a couple of bars of soap though.
When I previously ordered from the Nature’s Shea Butter website, I received two samples of their soap. One of the soap samples was the Handmade Orange Hibiscus Bar Soap. I tried the sample and loved it!
I also purchased a bar of the Handmade African Black Soap with Shea Butter.
This is another sample of their All Natural Soap I received.
I find myself gravitating towards more natural beauty products. My skin is seeing positive results.

Yankee Candle is having their semi-annual clearance sale. YAYYYY!!!! I noticed some of the Samplers® Votive Candles were 75% off. The regular price of the votive candles is $1.99. The clearance sale brought the price down to fifty cents each. I normally don’t splurge on Yankee Candles unless there is a sale.
These are the candles I ordered from the Yankee Candle Website.
This is my Yankee Candle store purchase
9-Honey Blossom
4-Island Spa
2-Napa Valley Sun
1-Fluffy Towels
This should last me for a while. 🙂

Birchbox recently gave me a coupon code for 25% off any purchase from their Website. The coupon code was to celebrate me receiving my 25th Birchcbox.
I came across the Shea Terra Organics Whipped Shea Butter Ultimate Moisturizing Body Crème. There were several scents to choose from. I chose the White Chocolate scent and it smells absolutely delicious.
If I wasn’t addicted to shea butter before, I am now! LOL!

My youngest daughter recently went to her first prom. Naomi didn’t want to spend a lot of money. She is only a sophomore in high school and this wasn’t her school’s prom.
I used mostly BH Cosmetics. The foundation I used was the BH Liquid Foundation in Mocha. I also used colors from the BH Malibu Eyeshadow & Blush Palette for this look.
Naomi curled her hair using the Bellezza Wand.
The dress and shoes Naomi wore is actually her sister’s. The jewelry I purchased was from Charming Charlie (the jewelry was on clearance too).
Not bad for her first prom. I taught her well. 😉

This week all Shea Moisture products are buy one get one free at Walgreens. You need the Walgreens Rewards card to get the savings though.
My youngest daughter and I already use the Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Restorative Conditioner. We are both pleased with how our hair has been responding to this combination.
Since my youngest daughter already does a good job of taking care of her hair, I bought the Deep Treatment Masque and Extra-Moisture Detangler for her. I know she will continue with her hair routine using these products.
The Shea Moisture product line does make it easier to stick to a natural hair routine. 🙂

My skin is really enjoying the benefits of using shea butter. As long as I use shea butter, my skin doesn’t get ashy. I previously purchased the Nature’s Shea Butter Sample pack from HauteLook. I shared this with my daughters.
I ordered another sample pack when Nature’s Shea Butter was on HauteLook again.
This time around I received two of the West African Shea Butter. That works for me. 😀

The Cocoa-Shea Butter is my favorite.
Here is the rest of the sample pack.

Once again I’m getting back on the fitness wagon. I usually drop off a little in my fitness routine during the Winter months. I’m just not motivated during that time of the year. I made a promise to take better care of myself. I am making it a point to carve out more time to exercise. It has always been easier for me to exercise once the weather warms up.
I am easing my way into things by participating in the 30 Day Squat Challenge. Here is the link http://www.fitsugar.com/30-Day-Squat-Challenge-30806625
One of my Facebook friends suggested a group of use should to this challenge. So far so good. 😉 It is always nice to have a positive group of people around you during your fitness journey.
I also purchased two pairs of running shoes from Famous Footwear.
Adidas Duramo running shoe
Saucony Grid Cohesion 6 running shoe
As always consult with your doctor before you start any fitness program.
Wish me luck!

On my recent visit to ULTA I noticed there was a sale on Ardell and Andrea false eyelashes. The twin packs of false eyelashes were $3.99 each. The single pack of lashes was $2.99 each.
Until recently my favorite accent lashes were the Ardell #305. My new favorite accent lashes are now the Ardell #315.
I decided to try the Andrea #53 false eyelashes. What I like about these lashes is the fact they look natural.
I also purchased a twin pack of the Ardell #120 false eyelashes in an effort to step out of my comfort zone.
I didn’t forget to use my 20% off coupon either. 😉 Total purchase before sales tax $16.75.
