My Stash

My palettes, I had 2 more MAC quads that Asher destroyed.  The bottom left is one he pretty-much-destroyed, but I can (and do) still use it. It is my favorite.  I will talk about each of these later. 

All the MAC I have.  This is very much my favorite and I have had just about all of this for at least 4 years now.  The little pigment samples are divine.  They are a great way to try colors without spending $20 on something you may or may not love and they last me a while... note the LACK of full-sized pigments in my collection. I had one and gave it to Valerie's friend.  And darn if I did not get Sumptuous Olive shadow in the pan for Christmas and I already have it in the bottom left palette.  Any takers? 

Primer (absolutely a MUST) and bases I use.  I love the 75% off one the most, I used all the shimmery pearl and wish I could find this little disk again.  I really love it.  I prefer Victoria Secret primer, but I do love the Urban Decay one too.  I love the NYX jumbo pencils, but after their epic fail of a sale in May, I am not buying from them. 

My eyeliners.  I really need to get some new ones ;-) I love Victoria's Secret more than any other eyeliner... but I do love MAC teddy almost as much...

My lippies, I love the MAC lipstick, but it is very, very dark.  I like sparkly lip glosses and the Urban Decay one is my current favorite.  I love Victoria's Secret Vixen lipstick too... with the shimmery white lipgloss over it.

I struggle to find a mascara I LOVE, but the Benefit "Bad girl lash" one is actually pretty amazing.

I heard over and over that I "needed' these and I hate them.  Anyone want either? Only used once. 

I have other "lesser" brushes, but I use these and my pouffy face brush and foundation brush (Asher was conducting an orchastra with both) every time I put on make-up. 

I used one of the $10 coupons I get EVERY TIME I shop at Victoria's Secret to get these a couple months ago.  They are wet/dry shadows and I actually really like them all. 

I love playing with these and the kaleidoscope collection is amazing.  How can you go wrong by $1- $2 to try a new color? NOT a fan if the lip stuff at ALL though.  

 

 

 

 

 

I will be talking about what I like and why, skin care, etc, but this is a look at my Stash 

Purpose of the Blog

I have Three main loves that are just for me in life.

These all pale in comparison to the love I have for my family and this love is certainly made more complete by the spiritual beliefs that I have. This blog is an adventure in loving one's self after the familial and spiritual needs are met.

My three loves are:

Cooking

Make-up

and home photography.

This blog is a tribute to recipes, make-up products, and home decor- all on a budget... with a few splurges from here and there once in a while.
