WHY MIA?

So why have I been gone for so long? I had a baby! This is my second child. His name is Tyson. :) He's only 2 weeks old atm. I also have a daughter as well. Soooooo, as you see I've got my hands FULL! Thats basically why I haven't really been making videos. But trust me! I've been dyyyyiiinnnnngggg to make videos for you guys! I will be trying to make more videos. I really am! It takes time to put on makeup and look nice for my vids. aha. Yes its true. I have to get "ready" for my vids. I would never go anywhere without make, same with putting my face on youtube for the whole world to see! You get where I'm going?

And...... I feel soo bad I have not been keeping up with this blog. It's been like forever since I've done a post. Haven't even updated my blogsale. That's how behind I am on this stuff! Gaahhhh... LOL! How do all those gurus find time between making videos and doing blogposts and life?

Anywayyyy, please share with me what would you guys like to see on this blog? Would you like me to go more in detail with my hauls, do reviews, etc? Please give me suggestions. I've just been kind of lazy. Making videos takes up a lot of time in editing and taking pics for this blog would add to it since I am a mother of 2 now! :)

But please leave a comment below and lemme know what you would like to see me do blogposts on! Have a good day you guys....! <3

A True Too Faced Palette?

So I bought this palette at Gordmans. For those of you who don't know what that is, its kind of like, TJ maxx, Ross, etc. When I saw this, it def caught my eye. I could've sworn this was the Too faced neutral palette. Since it was only listed for $4.99, I couldn't pass it up. I decided to buy it even though it didn't have the "too faced" logo on it.

I got home and checked the Sephora website to compare the two palettes. The cover is not the same. The eye on the one I bought is slightly looking to the right more. *disappointed* But The colors are named the exact same. It even has the 3 How-to cards. They are exactly the same, except for the font on the top left corner. Hmmmm...

^As you can tell, there is no "Too faced" logo.

________

Below is the one from the sephora site.

So I guess this palette turns out to be a copy-cat. I just can't imagine that the other company would use the exact same names for the eyeshadows...? I haven't really swatched the palette so Idk if the color pay off is as good. For $4.99, I guess it wasn't a bad deal.

What do you guys think? could it be an older version?
Let me know!

Requests. I am dry as the weather on what to post...

:\

Not only am I lazyy! I'm out of things to post. well not really, but I have noooo clue what to post. give me ideas loves!

any reviews...?
looks..?
hauls...?
recommendations..?
idk..


in the meantime. I have pictures of how bad the weather got in Wisconsin here.. :)
our cars were covered in snow, and our door was almost snowed in(ok not exactly but you get the point)...

the door is actually above the ground so it may look like the snow is not covering much but just look at the bushes...

Idk If you can make out the car in the pic above... its totally covered! except for the side mirrors!

Our Door...

MIA

:)

Couldnt be better.. But im barely ever home, which makes me sad. I've been thinking about the xmas theme and the feeling of xmas and I feel sad. Idk why.. But the feeling of family and holiday music... i guess i just miss working at boston store.. i would kill to work there again.. (well not really) but i'd have to say that was myy besssttt job ever. I miss the christmas joy, and warmth that i felt when i worked there. everything..... sorry getting off topic.... but


ANYWAYYYSSS....

I am sooo sorry. i know its been foreverness since i've been on here. just so much going on, so much to worry about. There's something that i worry about but i just cant pick out what it is.. and that is totally bothering me. I need the new year to come quick so I can feel relieved and refreshed again.. new classes, new year, income taxes.. more money..

sorry for this short little blurb but i feel i have to put something out there just to
make sure you guys are in tact w/me.. aha that sounds funny but you get
what i mean right? I miss you guys. I got a new job now. The best pay I
ever got so... wish me luck w/the job. I hope I can advance fast!

Love you all..
its weird, i miss you guys.. ahah

Finished Moving... :) NO hauling for a whilee....... (I HOPE)

Well I am all moved in, I just need to get everything unpacked and put away. Hopefully I will then do a room tour. (that is when my room is all neat and clean/decorated out.. aha)

I haven't been hauling makeup too much. Been hauling a lot home-y stuff. It was so exciting grovery shopping yesterday... *sigh* the joy of living on my own. I can already feel it..

Oh, I do have to say something creepy happened this morning..
So i got all ready cooked some sausage and eggs this morning while the hubby slept.. He probably woke up at 7:25 and went to wash his face and everything.. At this time I was already beginning to eat. (I was in my room of course waiting for him to get ready). As I was heading out to my car, my friend texts me, "I know you are a hard worker." At this pt, I was like WTF? I mean I am but she wouldnt randomly text me things like that(aha. j/k). So i told her that it must have been someone from my inlaws home cause i left my phone out the day before when we were still going back and forth btwn the two houses. And she replies saying that she got the text like 10 minutes ago.. Sure enough I check and a message was sent out at 7:33am. I was freeeaaked out.

"Someone" had texted "I am a hardw0rker, and I like 2 w0rk," from my phone?!

It even uses the 0's(zeroes) instead of the o's just like how I text. It could not have been me?!! I asked my hubby but i swear he was in the bathroom washing his face, brushing his teeth. I SWEAR?! The weird thing is that my phone was next to me at 7:33?! I was eating on my bed?! SO i am a little freaked out.. But I dont want to think anything of it.. Damn that is some scary stuff. I really hope my hubby did it... somehow some wayy.............................................

well i gotta get to class. Just dropping by to update you. oh and I have WIFI @ my new apt!
I was soo worried that i was gonna have to go w/o internet. aha..

I will update you guys later<3

________________________________________________
UPDATE:
So we got approved for our apartment! yay! its a great feeling! but its going to be sad since my hubby and i are used to having a lot of ppl around the house.. *sigh* but its ok. Its about time we move on and grow up and just quit relying on his father.... So, we havent set up a date for signing the lease yet, but they should be giving us a call soon to get that all set up.

it's funny cause i'm pretty sure we have better credit than our fatherinlaw.. he was our cosigner and turns out they denied him... but we still got approved! We didn't even need a cosigner after all. and With us only being 19 we thought we would need one... So that's good news cause for a few days we were worried about who we would have cosign our lease. My mom is a stay at home mom so she cant because she doesnt have income and my dad probably would not come an hour north just to sign our lease. So PHEW! glad thats over with. So we paid $10 for the credit check for no reason.. darn. (well now he knows his credit. eeks.)

Hun and I have been thinking about what we color theme we should have for our decor, and we came up with black and gold.. But who knows, its probably not going to go as planned since we've already looked at stuff and gold is a hard color to find. We were planning the whole bathroom towels, kitchen utensils kind of shenanigans but.. We'll see. I'll update you on that one..

Give me some ideas! <3choua

NONMAKEUP RELATED: Apartment/CAR/school

So my hubby just bought a new car yesterday. Honda civic lx 98. Yep. I know. Its not all that but its something. He thinks its the shi-i-i-i-i-i-t. Well not really but he reallllyyy reallyyy likes it. For having a cavalier as our first car, he thinks the civic is like a louis vuitton to a walmart purse. *sigh*


anddddddddddd, we are looking for a new apartment. We think we found one we liked. $440 and everything is included! i couldn't believe it either. And its not that crap-of-a-place. It's very pretty. but small... which is good cause then its cozy. Right? But we still have to turn in the applications. So wish us luck!

andddd, SCHOOL IS ABOUT TO START! The hubby already started school today. This summer was a good summer ya'll. I am gonna be working 2 jobs, and i have a friggn 5 credit class!! (anatomy and physiology) 12 credits total only but i feel like im gonna have to work suuuppperrrr hard this semester. I'm excited for school though. There's something about walking in the hall of the university that is calming or something to that affect.

I hope everything turns out. I hope. :D
g'nite mates. <3you all.

________________________________________________


Oh yea. and I forgot to mention that I am now a MARK rep. If you don't already know, Mark is a , lets say, daughter brand of Avon.. plus, they are much "hipper" (if thats a word) and supposedly "cooler"..

As for what I think of it? I think the product is reasonable for the prices. It's not too expensive. Plus, the eyeshadows and blushes are very pigmented.. Also, mark does sell clothing, jewelry, and skin care/bath and body products. SO you should def check them out!

http://CTHAO.mymarkstore.com

Please support me and if you dont want to buy anything, please sign up with the site and give your email address. :D It would be GREATLY appreciated!

Oh yea, and my favorite product from mark is their mascara! OMGGGGG! I have to say that it has the biggest brush I have everrrrrrr seeen! And it is soo good on my lashes, makes them thick and plump! Ohhhweee, just the way i liike it! aha.

L:Mark mascara , R:Cover Girl Lash Blast

Look at the size of the wand compared to the Lash Blast! and i thought that wand was big!!!

The pallete.. A blush and 2 eyeshadows.. Very cute, something i would use for everyday! Similar to satin taupe!

The lipstick... Very cute color! Not as red as it looks on camera

here is the brush set it came with..

The case everything came in! so adorable! I will def be using this to travel!

The lipgloss that came with the kit.. in Fig. Great neutral color!

It's called "flip for it" color kit. Lipglosses/Lipsticks and Eyeshadow/Blush on the go!
Great for traveling! Such a good idea!
