Small Haul-Literally :-)

,Here are a few items I bought from Sally Beauty Supply. I see these shadows and polishes every time I go in and always overlook them.

Sally girl Baked Eyeshadow

Sally girl polishes with Bubble White

All these items were 99 cents each, and they are usually on the racks at the register. I can't wait to try the Bubble White, after watching a few videos on youtube, it's a fizzy type powder you pour in water, soak your nails for 5 minutes and it will turn your nails super white. :-D

I can't wait to do some shadow looks, and try out the other items, I will be sure to update.

Toodles! :)

Quick meal: Salmon in a can

No don't eat it out of the can...lol (Unless you want too... j/k)

So I love buying salmon in the can, or the bag of salmon from the grocery store. It makes a real quick satisfying meal.

I use any brand salmon in the can and remove the bone, I shred with a fork in a lightly oiled pan and season well. My favorite seasonings are paprika, garlic, onion, black pepper, Tony Chachere's and a few others. I let it cook till browned really well.

If I'm using the whole salmon, I will bake in foil with seasonings.

I usually have over salad with flax seeds, shredded cheese, and as you see in this picture: crispy fried onions. My favorite salad dressing is Marie Calendars or Bolthouse Farms Blue cheese vinagrettes.

In this picture I had it over brown rice:

Salmon cakes are really good too and easy to make, however, I haven't made it in awhile. These are really quick meals, and are usually finished in less than 15 minutes. This is my favorite fish and comes in handy during the times I'm avoiding meat.

Tastebud Edition: Yummy! *Licks lips*

Drool.... lol

I just wanted to share some delicious desserts I had over the weekend. Yes, I wish I could say over the past month, but no, over the weekend.

First up we have CamiCakes, apparently very popular here in Atlanta, but I never heard of them before. Maybe that's a good thing, because I would probably visit more than I need too. It was super packed, and they have a menu of delicious cupcakes to choose from. There was one more in the picture, but my daughter attacked it so fast, it disappeared. lol

 The cake itself was super tasty and soft, but not light. I cut it in half and I was full, had to save some for later.  In the picture you see a chocolate, lemon drop, and a strawberry cheescake I believe. The frosting was delish, not too sweet and very thick. Reminded me of a cheesecake consistency and taste.

Here we have a scrumptious cake that my local supermarket Publix sells, It's an all chocolate cake with chocolate everything! lol Chocolate barks, shavings, and chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate frosting, so you get the point. lol

It does have walnut shavings, but apart from that, this cake is so good.
I'm shamed to say that we had two other cakes that week because my daughter and mother's birthday falls on the same week. So with that said: I will be documenting my weight loss and nutrition lifestyle soon. :-/ LOL!

Eyeshadow looks

Here are some eyeshadow looks I did over the past few days.

I used Wet n Wild's Snow Sprite for this look, Wet and Wild mascara, and eyeliner.
My friend Nicki, said this look reminded her of fairies. I agree!

This is a golden look using the Wet and wild Golden Goddess, Loreal Featherlash mascara in brown, and Elf brown eyeliner.

Here is a pink purple look using Maybelline Eyestudio in Purple Possibilites,

And Hot Looks Le Amour2. Wet and Wild mascara.

I purchased the Wet and Wild Color Icon palettes over the holidays when Walgreens had their 50% off sale, but never got to use them. I've been trying all my untrieds all week. I got the Hot Looks palette from AJ Wright during the after Christmas sale, and got it for a dollar. It has pretty metallic colors.

Toodles!

NOTD: Rhinestones galore!

Here is my nail look I did today. I used:

Milani: Tip toe pink, Art Deco in black, Duri basecoat, Nutra Nail strengthener, Poshe top coat, Cina bonder, and Creative Nail Design Solar oil, and of course, rhinestones. :)

Hope you like. :)

Eyeshadow looks & NOTD

Alright, so here is my eyeshadow look for the day:

Green shadow look using ELF 100 pallette

I really wanted to do a nail design, but didn't have time, so I polished with Duri as base and Nutra nail on top.

I've been experimenting with liners. I have some cheap ones from the beauty supply that I never used, and now I see why. :-/ They hardly showed on my skin, and I ended up using a blue eyeshadow in my ELF 100 palette to make it more pigmented.

I suppose next time I need to blot my eyes for the shininess. Lol!

It's a black liner with my pink eyeliner pencil, and a pink glitter liner on top.

In this one, I used my blue pencil and topped it with a blue shadow from my ELF 100.

I put a brown on my lid, but I'm not sure I will do that again. lol

Queen Helene Mint Julep: The Ultimate Facial Masque

I remember my mother using this masque when I was a little girl, and when I became a teen, she introduced me to it. Unfortunately I've been suffering from whiteheads on my nose ever since I can remember. Maybe when I hit puberty, but this masque works wonders. It firms, shrinks pores, makes your skin smooth, unclogs impurities from your pores and so much more. I've introduced this masque to almost everyone I know (if they weren't already using it) lol

There were times when I tried to find something better, but nothing can compare to this, and I've been using it for yeaaars.

On left is Queen Helene. Right: Freemans Clay Mask(Avocado and Oatmeal)

You can probably tell from the picture that Queen Helene is very thick, and you get better coverage with this masque, and it dries quickly while tightening skin. Freeman clay mask is a bit more softer and watery, and it takes way more time to dry, it also doesn't firm as great as Queen Helene. It's great to have as a back up though.

Both masques are very affordable and can be found at your local drugstores, Sallys and supermarkets. I paid under $2 bucks for each.

More about Queen Helene from the site:
Mint Julep Masque is the original natural home treatment to help dry up pimples, rinse away blackheads and shrink enlarged pores. Simply apply Mint Julep Masque to your clean face and neck. As it firms and hardens within minutes, it draws out impurities from your pores. After the masque is removed, your skin will feel clean, refreshed and smooth. Even for individuals who are fortunate to be free of skin problems, Mint Julep Masque is a refreshing facial treatment that helps relax tired muscles and ease tension lines on the face and neck.

She has plenty other products such as lotions, scrubs and peel off masque, most of which I tried, but in my opinion, this is the ultimate facial masque. :-)
