More and more I find myself gravitating towards the NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadows. Hautelook was offering sets of the loose pearl eyeshadow during their last NYX sale.
I purchased the Smokey Metallic Pigment Set and the Color Poppin Pigment set. These sets were $5.50 each.
(L-R) Smokey Metallic Set – Mocha, Mink, Charcoal
(L-R) Color Poppin Pigment – Space, Orange, Turquoise

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.

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. 😉

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.
