Breaking My Back Just to Know Your Name

We all have at least one. A favorite band. I have quite a few, because music gets me through everything. I listen to music when I'm happy, sad, mad, whatever. It has gotten me through some tough times and it's gotten me through some great times, always providing me with memories. And sometimes a certain band just keeps making music that makes you want to dance, think, or just get lost in the lyrics.

Rimmel London Glam'Eyes HD Quad in True Union Jack

A friend in the UK gave this to me on Christmas along with two other little goodies. It came from the UK, but you can find these in your local Rimmel London aisle with their other products. I thought I would provide my swatches and review on this cute little quad.

Blog of the Month!

Time for May's featured blogger! Last month was Kar Yi and you can find her entry under the "blog of the month" tag. With my monthly featured blogger, I also put a button for the blog that stays on my sidebar all month long.

I think it's a great way for you to find new blogs to follow and these are some of my personal favorites, so of course I want to share them with you!

Sara, the blogger who runs Passing Fancy, always has bright photos and fun posts! She focuses on beauty posts and showcases a lot of different brands. When she comments, Sara is super sweet. She also has an open giveaway with some great prizes, but you should check out her blog regardless!

April Posts You Might Have Missed

I thought I would start a new type of post on my blog where I link to a few posts that I've done from the former month. So happy it is May. I don't know about you, but April just was not a good month for me. It felt like anything that could go wrong totally did and then some. I have high hopes for May turning it all around and making me a happy camper again.

April Favorites + New Layout!

So I might have gotten super restless the other night...and I might have stayed up late completely redesigning my blog. I may change a few more things, but I'm happy with it right now. And if you personally find the light purple to be hard to read, just move your mouse over it and it highlights black.

I have a few posts coming up on a few moving tips, since that has pretty much consumed my life these days. A couple of people have said they would like moving, organizing, and packing tips. I suffer from a mild case of OCD and I am an avid organizer. Might as well share some of the things I'm doing to help make my future move a little easier!

You'd think moving everything would be the hardest part, but I'm learning the dancing around with realtors and bankers while searching for a place that meets our needs is the absolute worst part. I wish it were all easier and something would just fall right into place! Wishful thinking to the max.

Anyway, on to my favorite products from this past month! I have stuck to a rather basic look of a light base, neutral eyes, and a pink lip. I've just wanted something I can throw on within 5-10 minutes and be out the door! It's all about shopping my stash right now too, as I'm still on my Project 10 Pan/Empties.

- Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy
- MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow
- Maybelline Age Rewind undereye concealer
- Dr. Jart+ BB Cream
- Benefit High Beam highlighter

Share your favorites! I'd love to hear about them!

Current Favorite Fonts

This is something different that I have never done before. I figured I would share some of my favorite fonts to use on my graphics and pictures. I have provided links to each one and all of them are free. Yay! I hope some of these, if not all, are new to you. I always love finding new fonts to use. They can add so much to graphics!

Spring Has Sprung Giveaway!

Here's my second big announcement for this month! :)

With moving on the horizon, I don't know how much attention my blog will get in the next couple of weeks. I will do my best to not let it sit on the back burner that much, because it's something I really enjoy! Plus, I have plenty of things to review. However, with the stress of everything, it is inevitable that my presence will be downsized for a bit.

With that said, I'm offering a giveaway for those of you that have taken the time to follow my blog. I appreciate all of you. And thank you for helping me reach over 100 followers on Bloglovin'. You're all so kind!

This giveaway is full of things that scream spring to me this year- florals, fruits, pinks, and neons! You get a full-sized L'Occitane cream, small anti-bacterial gel from Bath & Body Works, Revlon Cupcake lip butter, bead bracelet from Target, and an ELF blush.

I hope you like the prizes. It is open internationally and open until May 31st at midnight EST! You have many different ways to get several entries, but the first two are mandatory to be entered. Good luck!

Around the World in 80 Eyeshadows Week 31


I think life is starting to get in the way at the moment for all of us, so we have decided to take a little hiatus from our weekly Monday posts. With working, traveling, moving...we all have something that is making us struggle to keep up with the group right now. If you enjoy these posts that we do, don't worry because we'll be back soon when things have slowed down a bit!

Until then, you can see all of the past questions under my "group post" tag. I hope you have all had a great weekend. Expect an exciting post from me this week, which is the second April announcement I had alluded to in a recent post. ;)
