Brunch Look

I'm back with another video!

Today you will be seeing a tutorial

on my go to brunch look!

Enjoy :D

ZOOtopia?

A trip to the zoo was
just what the doctor ordered.

A few weekends ago we decided
to go to the zoo - SO WE COULD FEED
THE GIRAFFES - but we also checked out all of the
other animals too.

A Birthday & Beach Day

May 27th was my 

hubby's 32nd birthday.

Every year I ask him what he would like

to do, and he always says the same thing...

"Idk...Nothing Really"

Omg! What am I supposed to do with that?

So we always just end up going to dinner - just

the two of us. 

This year I decided I was going to take matters into

my own hands. 

I decided to throw Ricky a surprise party.

But not just any surprise party - a 

bowling surprise party.

I was even able to get

his parents to drive up for the event :)

*I feel like it is necessary for me to put my "bowling look"

in here...*

I told him we were going bowling for his birthday -

but I did not tell him there would be a party waiting for him!

And let me tell you, it is almost impossible for me to keep

secrets. So this was big.

The next day we were off to the beach!

I know, I know. We are crazy

for going to the beach 

on Memorial Day Weekend, but it

really wasn't as busy as I thought it would

be. 

We headed to Cocoa beach to meet

up at Coconuts for a few drinks

and then some fun in the sun!

Thank God for these babys... The sand was SCORCHING!

I feel like I should be holding up an ice cream cone in this pic. #instagramready

Damn Steph, perfectly posed legs!

Here I am, expressing my thanks to Leigh and Steph for

providing the champagne.

Ohhhh this hat... #hateit

Here is where the fun begins...

A friend from work let me borrow his reflector to try out.

So we put on quite the show of 

"trying it out" lol.

I just love the golden glow it gave us!

For the following pic, we flipped the reflector over to the

white side. This obviously gave us much less of a

golden glow, but it was still pretty!

Had to get the booty shots in...

BECCA Backlight Priming Filter Primer Review

I finally bought it - the 

BECCA Backlight Priming Filter

Primer.

Do I love it?

At first I did!

And I still do really like it.

I love that it makes my face look

extremely luminous.

As you can see here - So luminous!

I love the smell.

I love that it feels moisturizing.

I love that there is a lottttt of it, and one pump goes

a long way.

The thing I don't love about it is that it doesn't seem

to keep my blush and bronzer on while at work for 8 hours like

the Smashbox primer did.

Or did it?

Now that I think about it, I can't remember if my 

bronzer and blush stayed on throughout the full work

day a week ago (before I bought the BECCA primer).

Am I being overly picky?

I MUST PUT IT TO THE TEST.

Channeling my inner science class 5th grader:

I devise up a question, hypothesis, a list of products used, a detailed summary

of the experiement, and the results.

Question:

Does the Smashbox Primer help hold the makeup on my face longer than

the BECCA Primer?

Hypothesis:

After putting Primer 1 on the right side of my face, and Primer 2 on the left side

of my face, I will work a full day. I believe the bronzer and blush will stay

better on the side of my face that Primer 2 was used on.

Products used:

BECCA Primer: Primer 1
Smashbox Primer: Primer 2

Bronzer

Blush

Experiment

Yes... The video quality is shitty but
to upload it to blogger without uploading it
to Youtube first - it had to be a much smaller
file. Quality was the sacrifice I had to make.

BUT - primer goes on somewhat clear,
so you aren't missing much.

Conclusion

After 8 hours of wear, I found
that the Makeup on the left side of my face
(Primer 2: SMASHBOX) seemed to stay on better.
They both seemed to be about the same with
oil control.

End of the day pics with Daisy!

She often tries to steal the show.
JUST LIKE MAMMA TAUGHT HER!

You can tell more in this pic that the makeup on the left side is slightly more
intact. 

Makeup For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation

I recently bought the Makeup For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover

Stick Foundation in the color 125 = Y315 - Sand. 

Spoiler Alert!

I LOVE IT.

I heard about this product on Snapchat and was in desperate

need of some new foundation and thought "What the hell? Sure

I'll pay $43 for a stick of foundation!". I honestly would have NEVER

even given this product a second thought -  because of its price - if I

had not watched the Snapchat of Buynow/Bloglater going on and on about it.

Here are some positives and negatives with this product.

This product is amazing! It is super long lasting, has great coverage, and is relatively

easy to apply. It is well worth the $43 I spent on it, and I think

it will end up lasting a long time because I am using less of it

than I do normal foundation.

Foundation still looks good almost
all the way through the work day.
This is normally never the case!

The only negative that I could find was my Ultra HD Stick has a really weird smell.

 I don’t know if they all smell like this but mine definitely has a bad smell when I open it. But thankfully it does not continue to smell after I have applied it to my face!

My friend just ordered her own Ultra HD stick, so I will have to go smell

hers and see if it was just mine.

Makeup For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover

Stick Foundation I rate you 5 Stars!!
