Future Makeup Additions for my Face
I have a very little makeup collection right now + I want to start Contouring 'n Highlighting my face, so I've been doing some research on drugstore makeup I can afford & made a list of all the makeup I'm gonna buy in the future once I have the money. FYI I'm frugal & I don't buy things in every color they have, I buy what I need and don't buy another until I'm finished with it or there's a sale. Now that I've explained, here's my list of all the things I'm planning to buy =)
I don't need Foundation since I have a Normal skin type, so I was looking for a tinted moisturizer & found this to be much better + it has so many good benefits to it.
IDK if I'm really gonna get this b/c I have a hard time finding Shades for my Skintone, but I guess it'll be at the bottom of my list. I DO know that I'll be buying the Eyelid Primer though.
I've never worn Blush before, but after seeing how it adds a pop of color to your face in so many tutorials on YouTube I really want some now & found out this was the best shade for my Skintone. I didn't want to look like a clown or like it made me look too girly or pale, this adds a nice shimmery glow & I can't wait to get my hands on it.
I'll be using this Fan Brush to apply my Blush & Highlight my face with a Light Bronzer. I've seen in a lot of videos how this is good for those uses since it applies the product on very lightly like an airbrush finish & I can't wait to try it out.
I chose this Light bronzer to Highlight my face with, it'll give me a nice glow where the light hits my face.
I'll be using this Dark bronzer to Contour my face & give it shape since my face is round and I don't have visible cheek bones. It was really hard finding a dark bronzer to Contour with my Skintone b/c I kept finding ones that would be so dark they'd make me look like a Drag Queen if I bought them or like a dirty homeless girl, LOL. Glad I found one in the end b/c I was seriously about to give up.
I don't own an Angled Brush & didn't want to spend a lot on one if I was just gonna be Contouring with it, so I chose a cheap one by ELF to start out with and later on I guess I'll buy a better one.
My boyfriend bought me this already, I'm just waiting on it to come in the mail =) He said I should get it in 2-6 days. I wanted it b/c it has all the colors of the rainbow, I'll be able to do a LOT of practising 'n experimenting with it & also b/c it's a very good brand for an affordable price.
That's all the makeup I carefully chose for my makeup collection list that I'm gonna buy in the future, IDK how long it'll take but I'm happy I did the research & most are the same brand. I don't like having to search high & low for a makeup brand b/c it's only sold in specific stores etc. + it's a lot easier when I'm going down the ails of the store looking for all of it.
I'll defiantly be doing Swatches of all these products once I have them & also will do a review on them as well ^__^

Back from ACEN!
Its been a long and fun weekend! I've had my best year at ACEN, even though I went alone! I met a ton of people and made some new friends, and am even going to my first Loli meetup next month!
^^ someone pulled a fire alarm, and everyone had to evacuate!
My new friend, Miss Lyz, who has an amazing sense of fashion, and made the bow that I am wearing~ :3
Dylan joined me for the last day.
I'll made a post on the little goodies I bought this year! I actually spent more time at the Lolita Panels. I got to meet the designers of Angelic Pretty, and saw their Spring Fashion Show! I felt so ~exclusive~ because the dresses had never been seen before, if you are a fan of Angelic Pretty, they've got an adorable line out for spring/summer! :)
Even though I wore replica's, I got so many compliments, I felt like a real princess <3
Thanks for visiting! And I will make a post on the goodies I bought later!
Simple Flower Presentation
Chivalry is not dead! I am suffering from a nasty sore throat and was surprised with flowers this morning.
But now to leave romantic sighing aside and answer the practical question:
When a charming young man comes to your door dressed in his best blazer with a bouquet, what kind of vase do you put the flowers in?
After trimming the ends of the flowers to freshen them up and make them short enough to fit in a vase, I found a beautiful creamy-white jug in the back of a cupboard (Thanks, Mom!). Not only does a classic jug have great sculptural quality and charming personality, the creamy color makes an appropriate backdrop for vibrant flowers and would suit any room color. You can group other objects around the jug to make a personalized arrangement, but keep it simple. You want the focus to be on the lovely blooms.

Swim Lessons Week 5
Another Saturday morning spent at swim lessons. This was Maddie and Ty's first outing since Tuesday and I was a little worried that someone was going to get sick in the pool. However, everyone was fine!
waiting for Maddie to finish her lesson
(I know I look gorgeous...I work out right before the lessons!)
Marshmallows
Friday night Chris' family went out to dinner (the kids and I stayed home). Then everyone came back to our house afterwards to make s'mores.
another interesting outfit for Maddie...pajamas, Tinkerbell costume, and sweatshirt
Snuggle
Science Project
The Doyle family got a bunch of science projects for Ty and Maddie for their birthday. Chris and the kids did lots of the experiments on Thursday when they were home sick. Chris could only take pictures of the volcano because the other experiments he had to be very involved in.
