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.

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
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. 😉

I make it a point to get myself something nice for Mother’s Day. This time around I found some really affordable gifts. 🙂
I’ve had my eyes on this nail polish set for quite some time. I originally received the Pardon My French mini nail polish from Color Club in the June 2013 Birchbox. This color was from the Wanderlust collection. I would periodically check the Birchbox website to see if this four piece mini set was still available.
Birchbox offered another collection I liked as well. I received the Heirloom Pearls mini nail polish from Color Club in the April 2014 Birchbox. This color was from the Gala’s Gems collection.
(L-R) Heirloom Pearls, Aquamarine Azulino, Gold Struck, Breakfast At…
These palettes from BH Cosmetics have been out for quite some time now. I was on the fence on whether or not I was going to purchase them. I kept seeing them on sale. I decided to buy the San Francisco and Malibu palettes during their Mother’s Day sale. I also purchased the liquid eyeliner.
I first found out about Nature’s Shea Butter when this company was on HauteLook. I ordered the Taste of Shea Mini Sampler. Nature’s Shea Butter had a Mother’s Day Sale on their website. This time around I ordered my favorites from the mini sampler pack. I also received samples of their soap.
