expensive makeup???

i for one am an avid youtuber and i have been on the look out for dupes or close copies to urban decay, mac, and nars. all high end brands that i absolutely love :)

for those of you mommies who are on a budget but love to wear makeup, i habe found the most amazing eyeshadows, and lip products. get ready for it.....wet 'n wild....i know cheapo, crappy drug store makeup! (for those who have not heard of the hype and new formula for the wet 'n wild products here it is!)

wet 'n wild eyeshadows are so creamy and pigmented. i mean literally one finfer-swipe is all you need!!! i watched rave reviews about these eyeshadows and i just had to try them. i think i love them more than my urband decay just becuz i have more varieties of colors.

i have some pictures below of swatches and i will post pictures of makeup looks as well in my next blog. im so excited to do this. im thinking of doing makeup tutorials online just with wet 'n wild makeup. (excluding my foundation routine, and powder)

its a work in progress since i only have so little right now. but there is a sale on wet 'n wild going on this week (40% off at don quijote!!!!) and i will be taking advantage of that one way or another haha. i can pretty much double what i got today from the drugstore. so yeah im gonna get my moneys worth. ^_^

hope you liked the swatches and if your not a believer try it out for yourself!!!!!

bye for now :)

nigtmares???

i just recently awoke from a horrific nightmare. it started off with me going to church. i sat next to my momma and during the prayer, she was suddenly yelling at me "is your dancing holding you back from coming back? what are you doing wrong? you are such a failure!!!" i was so shocked and confused also becuz my own father was joining in on this wild banter alongside my mother! i began crying as i said "can we do this later? like not during the prayer?" they both got louder. everyone began staring at my parents, not saying a word to stop or intercede this ridiculousness. my face grew with embarassment and i quickly walked to the restroom. they followed me in their and demanded to know what i was doing wrong. i responded "why? why do u two need to know every single detail of my life?" i stormed away crying again so hurt that my very own parents thought so low of me.

i wanted to talk to someone but i was led outside looking for my daughter. i searched and searched and saw my cousin she came to my rescue even tho she had no idea of what had happened. it was dark in the small parking lot so i decided it was time to get going. everyone but 3 people were left. church ended as soon as it started becuz of the interuption of my tactful parents.

i saw kairi walk out on the sidewalk up the steep street. my cousins and i went running for her. we headed for the van and noticed 3 creepy men walking up past us. we stopped to let them pass. the older man with long hair ran his hand through my hair. that definitely was not normal and something was up so we began to run downhill. i was behind the others so i told them "get in the van!!!! get in the van now!" then i noticed all of the 3 creepy men chasing us. so i ran as fast as i possibly could and jumped in the van. the two men sped past us in a motor vehicle down the hill, spiraling out of control they hit the tall gas tanks below and there was an explosion.

we decided to go uphill and sped past the other long haired maniac. with the doors open we sped past him and i noticed he was holding a hand gun. i yelled "close the doors!!! he has a gun!" i looked up and saw a glimmer of hope a police car! we past the female cop knowing our fears were soon to be over.

we turned around from the top of the dead end street and headed back down. there was no sign of the female police woman anywhere....we past her car and saw a body laying on the sidewalk. frightened for our lives i told my cousin to sped up and try to hit him. the creepy old man aimed his weapon and opened fired with no fear of our oncoming vehicle. i told them to duck and swerve. we missed him.

i looked behind and he jus stood there. i calldd out "where is kairi?!?!?!?!?" "right here" my cousin replied revealing her slumber to me in her chair. my heart settled. but we were still speeding towards the gas tanks at the bottom of the hill. the brakes engaged and we barely made it as we came to a sliding stop.

all three of us had premonitions of an explosion 3 different ways. as we woke to reality we caugt hold of the creepy long haired man walking toward us. my cousin was on her way out the drivers doors when i snapped at her to close the door and hit the gas. as we sped to a quick getaway the two men from before were fused together from fire burns. the white male was clearly dead but the black man was still alive. we ran over the fused bodies we could hear the black man shriek in pain. too afraid to look back we drove away. far away from that horrible scene that took place after what i thought would have been a quiet evening at churh...

i woke up....terrified and alone.

buying overrated overprice makeup???

i have decided since i have more important things and people to care for i want to be careful about where my money goes. and ladies especially mommies, we all like to get purdied up with makeup and feel sexy, beautiful, and just awesome. clothing isnt my thing. but makeup is!

i have found thee most amazing super duper fantabulous liquid eyeliner evar! for me personally i hate using liquid but ive heard many reviews about the wet 'n wild liquid h20 liner and i had to try it, when i did i absolutely fell in love with it.

it has a thin brush applicator very smooth and easy to apply. just be careful becuz a little goes a long way. pigment is great. it is long lasting.

the only downside to this is: it is not waterproof. my solution would be to use a matte black shadow to set the liner to keep it in place :)

why i am so in love you ask? get ready becuz this will knock your funky freakin socks off. $2.99 yes $2.99 for this amazing no need for a brush or cleaning liner :)

i would love to go and find a purple and green liner to do double lining jus becuz it is so dang affordable!!!

btfw, i spent $15 on mac's fluid black liner
1) i will never need to buy any for a year.
2) i will never need to buy it again becuz i found my new liquid liner love
:) wet n wild baybay!

challenges

now for me. i am a stay at home mother. i will admit it is difficult for me to adjust as a housewife and mother because i bring nothing to the table "financially" anymore. i habe worked ever since i graduated. i enjoyed working and providing what i could for my family. but since the tables have turned and there is a greater need for me to stay home and raise my children, there are challenges i have yet to meet.

1) not having my "own" spending money. i can live without that for the moment b/c it is not a neccessity. that is why the hubby works :) i have the great reward of watching my children growup. that is the best gift in the world.

2) keeping the house & children in order. sometimes i feel i have way too much for mw to handle. i cook, clean, and care for my daughter while pregnant with our son. however, rhe upside is i have all day to do what needs to be done! i can take breaks when i need to. i can nap on my bed :) and eat when i want (usuallt when i need to) and cook the meals i want to eat!!!

3) so much time on my hands. everyday is a new adventure. i need to figure out what i want to do, what needs to be done, and if i can squeeze in a project of my own.

the only thing i wish i could change is the amount of time my hubby spends watching tv, playing games, and playing on his phone. but this is for another time :p
