Welcome Back Good Years

I'm proud of myself for finishing something I started-- my hibiscus stencil. .I don't think I've made a stencil in 8 years before this


HG Products of 2014

This year I got the most use out of my loreal Lumi foundation,  elf hd cream foundation,  maybelline color tattoos,  Urban decay naked palettes, elf neutral palettes,  nyx liners,  mac sophisto lipstick,  wet n wild petal pusher,  shea moisture noemi eyeshadow,  Josie Maran watercolor eyeshadow,  Milani red vino blush,  jordana liners,  rimmel show off galaxy lip lacquer,  nivea lip butter, simple moisturizer and Josie Maran argan oil

I also got a lot of use out of the nyx raspberry tart butter gloss...I couldn't find one to photograph. .. I used up one this summer and had to repurchase

Next year I want to explore different looks using the makeup I have and come up with a variety of daytime and nighttime looks



L-R: mac sophisto lipstick,  rimmel galaxy lip lacquer,  jordana terra kiss liner and nyx prune liner

MOTD

My urban decay naked palette is hard to put down once I pick it up. .. Today I used toasted, creep,  darkhorse,  smog, primal and cover (from naked 2 basics palette)

Thought for the Day

Random New Year's Eve Things

I bought a flower ring to symbolize my new outlook on life. .. that of blossoming and blooming. .. doing grand things. .. but I lost the ring today

I also got a set of containers from F21 that plan to use to depot a few drugstore lippies

I ended up swatching a few stila and too faced eyeshadows on my lunch break and was impressed. But I really only plan to get a few nars and makeup forever products next year

This morning started great. ... but the day wasn't without a few hiccups. .. that's been basically every day this year
....I plan to stick to my 100 days of gratitude entries into my little jar. I really have high hopes for the next year

With Love
