These past couple of days have been really hectic! I have been helping my husband with his work and it has side tracked me by more than I imagined. Thank goodness today is the last day of crazy (I hope) so this will have to be short 😦
I found NYX Butter Lipstick for $2.98 on clearance at Target, SCORE!! I got the last two left at my Target, Big Cherry and Little Susie. I already have both of these but I know a happy home where to send them 🙂
My Frank Lloyd Wright Membership Card came in the mail and it is more than I expected so simple, so Frank, LOVES!!! We will be visiting lots of his homes this spring and summer and I will love busting this out ❤
My second to last order of the Real Techniques Bold Metals came in 🙂 I am so sad I haven’t had time to play with these 😦 I am only missing the eye liner brush that I didn’t originally buy and regretted. I can’t wait to use the powder brush, the pointed crease for the eyes, and the oval shadow for eyes. I will give my full thoughts in a couple of weeks once I get to really use all of them and test them out.
The last of my Valentine’s Day cards are getting sent out today. Yay! Hope they make it out to the people soon lololol
Have a great day! xoxo

They are so pretty! I hope you get them because the ones I have tried I love! Although the price is a tad crazy. I caved when I saw them on sale at Ulta for buy one get one half off and I used up my rewards but I can say the only one I am not gaga about is the blush brush. I need to play with it some more but I don’t see it as a blush brush too little, I like blush brushes big and fluffy but I don’t hate any of them.

I have yet to find somewhere to store them 😩 I am trying to burn this candle I have so I can use the jar but it’s taking forever! I would just destroy it but I love the scent lololol

Oh you should definitely clean out the jar after you finish burning it! It’ll be perfect because then you can see the metallic handles peek through! 😀 Just need to add some beads/stones or something so they hold up! Haha aw no! I’ve heard they do take awhile to burn up though! :O :O

Yes I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect beads or something but nothing just yet. I know my patience is wearing thin but I’m more than half way through it so I must stay strong Lololol

Yes! I hope you find something! 😀 I got my holders from Daiso but they’re coloured so you wouldn’t be able to display the handles if you got them! 😦

Yeah it’s hard to find a nice, tall, skinny holder because I want something just for these brushes since they are just so pretty I want to display them 😔 If I find anything I will for sure post it lol

First, I’m excited for your FLW membership! I can’t wait to see more photos (what they let you photograph anyway, lol).
And, your cards are so much fun!!!!

The FLW card matches perfectly to the lapel pin so I can’t wait to use both soon and yes hopefully they let me take lots of pictures but if not I usually have Dylan take pictures because they aren’t as mad when little kids do it lolol and thank you about the cards! They are so much fun to make 😃 Also did you see the Instagram lipstick tag? It’s ok if you can’t do it I know you are busy but it’s just taking a picture of your 5 favorite lipsticks which trust me was way harder than I thought 😃

Sorry! I’ve been lost to the world. I just finished my three days on, so I’m catching up quickly. I will definitely pull out my five favorite shades. Thanks for the tag!
What a brilliant idea to have Dylan take the photos! I hadn’t thought of that 🙂
