Makeup Hits and Misses

I gotta be honest, I have a problem.
A big one. I'm a makeup junkie.
I have been on a roll with buying new products and trying them out.
What can I say, it always fits, right?

Here are my makeup hits and misses.


HIT

Dry Bar I Heart Road Trips Kit
This kit comes with The Chaser Shine Cream,Triple Sec, 
and Mai Tai Spritzer.I'm loving each of these products and I love the way
they smell.  When I want some shine, I use the cream. When I need dry shampoo,
 I reach for the Triple Sec (it makes my dirty hair smell so good!). On the days, I wash my hair, I spray the Mai Tai Spritzer on my wet hair. Totally makes my curls look amazing. 
For $32, this kit is worth it.

Sephora


HIT

bareMinerals Bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer
I just purchased this concealer and so far I like it.
It doesn't cake and gives really good coverage.




MISS

L'Oreal Volumizing Miss Manga Mascara
Was not a fan at all. The mascara did nothing to add volume to my limp lashes. 
Oh and after about two weeks of use,the bottle was empty. 
I don't wear that much makeup, ok maybe I do.

L'Oreal



MISS

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Lotion
I liked this at first, thought it removed my waterproof eye makeup well.
But after a few weeks of using it, I realized it was drying my eye lids out.
I mean, I actually had dry spots on my eye lids. Took me some time 
to figure out what was causing it and it was this stuff. As soon as I stopped using it, 
my eye lids went back to normal. 


Neutrogena


UNDECIDED

Living Proof  'No Frizz' Humidity Shield 

I'm not really sure how I feel about this stuff.
It doesn't seem to help my frizz and on some days,
I feel like my frizz is worse with it. However, I like the volume it's adds to my hair.
I spray a little bit of it in the morning and let it dry a bit. Then I add some hairspray.
It does add body to my hair but doesn't seem to help the frizz at all.




Living Proof


Miss

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Foaming Mask

I like how it tingled on my face but I didn't notice any change in  
in my skin at all. I don't think it did anything actually.

Bliss



That wraps up my makeup hits and misses.

 I will be doing a review off my Play! by Sephora box
in the near future. I just received it. Took a while to 
actually receive (3 weeks to be exact) the box from when 
I was charged for it. They do not offer express
shipping on the box which I thought was
disappointing. 


Also, have you entered to win a $75 Starbuck Gift Certificate?
What are you waiting for?? That is alot of PSL's!!

Friday Favorites & A Giveaway



Oh Friday.
I'm so glad you are here.
It was another very long week
and I'm over it.

Let's get right to my favorites this week.



Song

Can't feel my face by The Weeknd

Been listening to this song non-stop this week.
It's a great song to listen to when you are stuck in 
bumper to bumper traffic. 




Purchase

Her Majesty Nutcracker by Glaesser

How stinking cute is this nutcracker of Her Majesty??
As soon as I saw her, I knew I had to get one for myself.
I mean could she be anymore cuter??
 I just love the little handbag.
Neiman Marcus



Beauty

bareSkin' Complete Coverage Serum Concealer

I'm loving this new concealer from Bare Minerals.
It does a great job of concealing my dark circles.
It's super creamy and you only need a little of it.
Honestly, I didn't think it was going to work as well as it does.
This is one the best concealers I have ever tired.


Nordstrom




TV

Below Deck
I'm loving this season of Below Deck on Bravo.
I just love the crew, they are so funny.
While I don't think I could handle working and living on a boat, ok, a yacht,
 it would be fun for a week or two.

Bravo


Quote

Great quote for the week.
Rather than dwell on your problems,
you need focus on the possibilities.

Fall Bucket List



Since the first day of fall is in a few short days, Wednesday to be exact
 I thought it was the perfect time to do a Fall Bucket List.
 Jenn and I went back and forth about this list.
In the end, this is what we picked out.


1) go apple picking.

2) take a day trip to Portsmouth, NH.

3) visit Thomas Dexter's Grist Mill in Sandwich, MA.

4) get lost at the Museum of Fine Arts. 

5) visit the Franklin Park Zoo.

6) drive to Vermont to see the Fall Foliage.


8) attend the Topsfield Fair.

9) visit Heritage Garden and Museum.

10) day trip to Falmouth, MA.

11) Visit the Norman Rockwell Museum. 

12) go pumpkin picking.

13) visit Salem and all it's Halloween Glory.

14) get lost in a corn maze.

15) day trip to Rockport, MA.



That is our Fall Bucket List.

What do you think? 
Hopefully, we will be able to 
do most of what is on the list.
Although, I'm really not looking forward to 
getting lost in a corn maze. I will make sure I have my phone 
fully charged before we go. Just in case.


What is on your Fall bucket list??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!
Best, Marie

Friday Five



TIGF
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this was a long week.
Per usual, I have worked six days in a row, but, 
for whatever reason, this week seemed really long.
Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong.
But, hey, tomorrow is another day.


Here are my favorites this week.



Song

Marvin Gaye by Charlie Poth Ft. Meghan Trainor

When I first heard this song, I didn't like it at all.
However, JenniSixx did and she made me listen to it all the time.
 Guess what?? It's now my new favorite.



Beauty

MAC Wipes

Jenn bought this a few weeks ago and I recently tried them.
They take all my makeup off including my waterproof eye makeup.
No only do they take all my makeup off but it also leave my skin
feeling very soft, like a babies bottom. Oh and they don't sting my eyes either.
Love love these wipes. 

Nordstrom



Movie

Miss You Already

Have you seen the trailer for this movie
with Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette??
It's about two life long friends whose friendship is tested 
when one starts a family and the other falls ill.
It looks sooo good.




Reading

Voyager by Diana Gadalon
Currently, I'm reading this book.
It's the third book in the Outlander Series.
So far, this one has been my favorite.
It's so good.




Quote

I ran into alot of bad luck this week
so when I saw this quote it really spoke to me.
My life is far from perfect but I am blessed.



That wraps up my Friday Five.
I'm heading up to New Hampshire this weekend 
to see some friends. Should be super fun.


Have a Wonderful Weekend.
