Boxed store brand cake mixes are good but you can make them even better by adjusting the ingredients just a bit. By tweaking it a little it makes the cake super moist. I always get a bunch of compliments and people are surprised that it’s just a simple doctored up cake mix.

Do you like creamy, highly pigmented lipsticks? How about if that tube of lipstick only cost $2.99? I got your attention now don’t I! The Wet n Wild Megashield SPF 15 Lip Color line just came out at the beginning of February. All of the colors looked extremely vibrant and for less than 3 bucks, I couldn’t not try one. I bought the shade Within These Adobe Walls. The packaging is kinda cheaply made but [...]

February 27, 2012 0 comments

This week I’m wearing a very pretty raspberry red color from Ulta. Grin & Berry It is a cross between a vibrant red and a deep raspberry color. From far away, the nails look red but up close and in bright light, you see that they’re actually a berry red. What do you think of Ulta’s Grin & Berry It? Is this a color you’d wear this Spring and Summer?

Physicians Formula Cashmere Wear Ultra Smoothing Blush in Rose and Natural

February 22, 2012 0 comments

New for Spring from Physicians Formula are two beautiful Cashmere Wear Ultra Smoothing Blushes ($12.95). So soft, smooth and luxurious that they are supposed to feel like cashmere. I don’t know about all that, but they are pretty. These Cashmere Wear Blushes come in brown felted square boxes that open like a book. I love that they have magnetic closures so they stay closed tight when not in use. The front contains your blush while [...]
