NARS Foreplay Blush Palette Review!

Say hello to my first NARS product ever, the NARS Foreplay Blush Palette! To say that I'm excited is a complete understatement. I've heard so many good things about NARS products, especially their blushes, so I was anxious to try this product out. I can't usually justify the prices of their individual blushes ($28... it's just so steep! Especially when MAC blushes are only $20, or $17 without packaging, and I haven't even made the jump for that yet). But three blushes and a highlighter for $49 when I have a Sephora gift card from my mom? Yes, please.

Love for Magenta

Top: Gap, $9

Bottoms: Gap, $35

Booties: Forever 21, $22

Purse: Love Culture, $20

Scarf: Rue 21, $10

Things I'm grateful for:

a) 50 degree days in the dead of winter

b) Treadmills and diet ice cream 

c) The makers of this magenta cross-shoulder bag

I literally have been planning my outfits lately around this purse. It's just so bright and fun during these gray and snowy winter days. Turns out that not a lot matches well with magenta, except for black, gray and white. That's actually probably not accurate at all, but that's all my brain has come up with. Maybe that's what you all can do for me. What, you think you can read my blog for free? No, it's up to you to come up with original content for me to post and claim as my own original content. I'd say it's a fair price to continue watching me post mediocre outfits and talk about my husband and my job.

Also, I've been nominated (AGAIN!) for the Liebster Award by Angela at Selfless Ambition. That's two in one week, my friends! I will not be answering the questions or nominating anyone this time because I'm sure last week's questions were more than enough private information about Lynette than anyone wants to know. But I did have a moment like this for getting two nominations in one week:

New Revlon Photoready BB Cream Review!

I'm back with another review, for another foundation (BB cream?), also by Revlon! What can I say: I love a good drugstore foundation, and Revlon is one of the only ones who have yet to disappoint in that area.

I've tried a couple BB creams before, but they were always high-end, so like $30+. I just don't like having to spend that much money on something I'm not going to use everyday. Because when it comes to foundation, I tend to wear something medium coverage and long lasting like Revlon's Colorstay Foundation. BB Creams aren't usually more than light coverage, and generally not too long-lasting. But for a retail price of about $10.99, I figured this BB cream was a risk I could take.

That being said, I bought this product with some doubts but with an understanding of what this BB Cream was supposed to do, which, according to the Revlon website, is this:

-Hydrates like a moisturizer

-Smooths like a primer

-Covers like a foundation

-Blurs flaws like concealer

-Protects with SPF 30 like sunscreen

So how did this BB cream deliver? Click "Read More" below to find out!

Target Clearance Shoes?!

 What're you doing tonight after work? Nothing? Good. So you can run to your nearest Target and shop to your hearts content. Or until you run out of money, I guess.

So I was wandering around Target this morning in a sleepy, stumbling state of exhaustion, picking up a few things and ignoring the 23432 other things I need to do, like check my e-mail and make about a dozen phone calls and shower (for the first time in three days).

Well that might've been TMI, but you'll thank me now for refusing to shower like a normal human, because I came across this:

MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY.

Almost every single normal shoe shelf was empty, and just about every gorgeous, sequined, jewel-toned, animal-print shoe was on the clearance wall, 50% off. I did not see a single shoe for more than $17, and I saw them as low as $9. Since all the normal shelves were empty, I'm assuming these little beauties just got moved over within the last day in order to make room for spring arrivals.

Just thought you all should know! There's a ton of clearance action happenin' at Target right now, but these shoes were too good to share. For all you curious cats, these were the two I was trying to decide between:

I really, really loved those magenta ones, because that's definitely a color I can't get enough of right now, but these darker raspberry heels were definitely something that would more seamlessly fit into my wardrobe, so for $14.98, these little babies hopped into my arms and came home with me.

So go to Target and buy every shoe. That is all.

50 Shades of Sleepiness

Top: Old

Skirt: Old Navy, $20

Heels: Old Navy, $17

Purse: Love Culture, $20

Scarf: Gift from a friend

Friends... I'm tired this week. So tired that putting on clothes with buttons is a task I'm not ready to face in the morning. My solution? A super stretchy skirt and a shirt usually reserved for sleeping in. Oh, and a scarf, to cover up the sleep-drool stains. Just kidding, I don't drool.

Just kidding. I do.

The good news is, I recently have fallen madly in love with anything fuschia or magenta, and when I saw this little purse hanging in the clearance rack at Love Culture for $20, I knew it would come in handy for a day when buttons (and clothing in a color other than gray or black) was not going to happen. I was right!

Also, bright pink lipstick does the trick, too.
