Review: Maybelline Eye Tattoo & Comparisson

These have been compared to the MAC Paint pots. They are lovely but I wish they would be available in lighter more neutral colors. I picked up two at my local drug store and have been trying them out. The hype here is that these will last up to 24 hours. So I decided to wear it all day, shadow over the top and ended up sleeping in it as well. It was still there in the morning, not as deep in color but the idea was true, these do last..
These are great in price compared to the Paint Pots, around $6.

Review: Benefit Coralista Blush

Oh I have been waiting for this one.... No idea why I even waited in the first place! A coral peachy color that will look great on anyone!

Review : MAC Shy Girl and Creme De Nude

A couple of the newer lipsticks I have here. Not being one to wear a lot of my lips in the past, I have been going crazy over these colors.. Creme De Nude and Shy Girl are so lovely.

Vacation: London & Paris.. London Pt. 1

Oooh guess where I was for a week and a half.... It is a rather long blog post and very picture heavy but hey, what are going on vacations for. Holly and I drove from home, which is the St.Louis Area to Chicago. From there we took a flight to Boston then onto London's, Heathrow Airport. Nothing is more nerve racking them being asked when going threw customs, why are you here. The lady just smiled when I said " Vacation". Getting that passport book stamped was so exciting! The drive from the airport was forever it seems as we were going to the other side of London, Westminster... We arrived at our flat and immediately was on with our day. A little shopping for a few groceries, our nutella, bread, cereal and milk.. then Phantom of the Opera that night. It was lovely walking the streets of London and thinking about actually how old the city was. I was never a history geek but I had my 'awwww' moments!

 Holly and Heather take on London....

The week and a half we were over in Europe flew by, but at a nice pace to where we were actually ready to go home. We diffidently explored the city and made some new friends on the way. A friend of ours Holly S came to stay a couple of nights with us, she is from southern England. She is so lush and fun, shes fits right in with my Holly and I. 

Then my friend Abbie and her bestie Carmel came to stay a night, they being from northern England. Hearing the three of there accents were so funny to us and the words, the meaning of little things is so different from us Americans....

Down by the Eye, the night we first met with Abbie and Carmel, I was so excited to be 

finally meeting Abbie, after almost a year of talking!  Dinner with the ladies.. we ate and shared fun stories, all of us bringing something interesting to the table..

The ladies out exploring London..Holly S and Holly H, 

with Abbie and Carmel. We had a great 

time this being all three of the ladies last day with us.

We hit Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and Shakespeare's 

Globe Theater for an amazing Sunday Roast lunch... 

The best ladies you will ever meet..
