My Favorite Perfume L.A.M.B.

I finally was given a bottle (actually two) of L.A.M.B. perfume last week and I wanted to talk about how much I love it. Also yesterday I went to Pier One and they had tons of stuff on sale, got a new reed diffuser for my room and this cute blue flower ring and a bunch of bath stuff. They had lots of glitsy glam kind of girlie things like a blinged out eyelash curler and some other stuff like that. Lots of jewelry but I promised myself to be good and only get a couple of things. Oh Joy!

Autumn Colored Eyes

I am in no way a professional or even a makeup tutorial girl however, I am an enthusaist and I watch a lot of the makeup artists on youtube and would love to be as good as them one day and working as a makeup artist as well. In any event I decided to give it a try making a video doing my makeup and playing with the colors of fall and Autumn since that is all that I see when I look out my window these days.  New Hampshire is one of the best places to come and be a leaf peeper if that’s your thing at this time of year because the fall foliage is amazing. We had a lot of rain too so the colors are extra bright and popping. Lots of bright yellows along the Ashuelot River this week when I took a ride up to my mother’s house so I really wanted to make sure I used yellow in the look. Hope you like it and it was fun going out in Keene to do my grocery shopping looking like the outdoor scenery lolol!

Too Faced – Tricks of the Trade

I haven’t really shot any videos of me because when I did this video last week I had a huge sty in my eye that made me look like sloth. So, I got the makeup and had to wait until the swelling went down before I could see how the shadow insurance felt on my eyelids and see how pretty the eyeshadow was. Overall I am happy with all of the items that came in this collection. I was just bummed out because I broke my lipstick and I absolutely love the consistency of the lipstick. It is so creamy smooth when you apply it and the color is one of the best nudes I’ve found to date. Stay tuned for a mini-haul of some plus size clothes I scored for a steal and some featured plus size lingerie from one of my friend’s online stores.

Soft Smooth Lips

There are certain things about New Hampshire that I like, dispite the fact that life is just a little too slow for me up here. One of those things that I just love about NH is Badger Balm. I’ve talked about them before because I love their balms, especially their lip balms because of the unique scent combinations that they offer.  Well today I went to a Food Co-Op up near Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital and I managed to get my hands on some of their very scrumptious Cocoa Butter Lip Balms. The flavors I picked were Creamy Cocoa and Vanilla Bean. Who wouldn’t want those flavors on their lips?  The cocoa butter balms are 100% certified organic and they are nice big tubes, much larger than their regular balms.

Badger Balm Cocoa Butter Lip Balms

Now that I’ve got the tube open I can’t stop applying this stuff to my lips. I just love the feeling of it, when your lips start to warm up the balm it glides on so easily. It makes them feel so incredibly soft and the feeling of the creamy cocoa butter is just outrageous. It’s so much better than having a waxy balm on your lips. Considering that the first two ingredients listed on the label are extra virgin olive oil and cocoa butter, I don’t see how you can really go wrong. I cannot not sing enough praises about this stuff and I really am a little proud that I live in a place where they have developed this little gem.  They might not be “girlie” but they are packaged in brightly colored tubes and have the cute little badger logo on them so they are sure to grab attention where ever you might go. So I feel if you like to take good care of your skin and especially your face this is one product to add. It’s just delish!
