Birthday Makeup



These are some of the very special things I got for my birthday, from my family. :) A lot of my family got me gift cards to Sephora, in which I went straight to Sephora and bought several things I had been wanting to try. Every Thursday, I'll post something from this little "Birthday Bundle" until I run out of things to talk about. ;)

So without further adieu...I give you: "They're Real! Push-Up Liner" by Benefit.
This is a gel eye liner that has a slanted tip for perfect precision in the lining process. It's big sister is in fact "They're Real! Mascara" which is one of the best mascara's out there...so I've heard. Unlike most gel liners this does not come in a pot, but more of a pen applicator. The base of the liner is able to twist in order to get the product up to the top of the tip of the applicator. Along with the "They're Real" line, they've also added a "They're Real! Remover" eye makeup remover to help with an easy clean up of these long lasting products.(although, I've used Mary Kay eye makeup remover and it works just fine.)


So here are the pros and cons of this eye liner.

Pros:
No noticeable smudging
Long lasting
Prefect precision in hugging my lash line
Easy to control

Cons:
Takes a very long time to get product to the tip of the applicator

All-in-all, a great eyeliner! Thanks to my cousin, Bekka, for picking this up for me! I've really enjoyed trying something different than my normal gel eye liner that I use. It's been quite fun. :)


Also...since it IS Thursday! Throwing it back!

Sunday Funday

 
                       
                       
                       


This Sunday was just a relaxing evening with friends, games, food and a movie. :) Since we had a wedding on Saturday, Mark and I got to play around a little bit with the lenses we rented. All of this was shot with the 50mm 1.2 BEAUTIFUL! That lens is definitely on my wish list. :)

A goal of mine has always been to start a blog and post on it regularly. A couple weeks ago I finally got up enough courage to start towards this goal. So Lord willing, I will be posting Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays...for a while. :) On Tuesdays and Saturdays I will be posting just about daily stuff the hubby and I have been doing, and on Thursdays I plan on posting about beauty products that I like and enjoy using. :) 

Anyways, please relish in the scrumptious pictures of the pizza. ;)
