Lorac pro to go review!

I received the Lorac Pro To Go palette a few weeks ago and I was quite impressed after first swatching the products. You get 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes, 1 bronzer, along with 2 mini brushes. I've been gravitating toward it more and more since all I need is in this palette and makes my morning routine go just a bit quicker! The eyeshadows are all very soft and luxurious feeling and have great pigmentation and staying power(I always use a primer under any eyeshadow FYI). The bronzer works well to contour and I use the matte pink blush first and then take the shimmery peachy shade and use that as a sort of highlight blush. It's a very natural look which I love. It's a no brainer/no fail palette and it's great for travel with how compact it is and there's a mirror too if you need it!

Crockpot Tortellini Soup

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and decided it sounded quite tasty so I made it today and it is delish! All you need is:

1 large can of crushed tomatos

Use the tomato can and fill half full with water, and another half with milk

A sprinkling of basil

Frozen bag of tortellini

I put my crockpot on low for about 5 hours, stirring occasionally.

It comes out to be a thicker, comfort food soup. We devoured it!

Let me know if you try it and if you liked it or not! It's super easy!

DIY time!

My birthday was last night and was a lot of fun and relaxing. My wonderful friend Melissa took me to Denny's for nachos and then Starbucks for Pumpkin Spice lattes! :) Then after work Anth and I went to Red Lobster and had delicious biscuits, seafood, and I had an awesome berry mango daiquri! MMM...soo tasty! Next time you are at Red Lobster, get one! 

Anywho, I thought I'd share with you some of my DIY face masks. They are easy to do and you probably have the stuff laying around in your kitchen! 

First one is my Honey Cinnamon face mask. You do 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mix together(this is sticky but worth it plus tastes good!) Then apply all over your face and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. This blew my mind once I rinsed it off! I rinsed it off in sections with a warm washcloth and oh-em-gee! My skin felt super soft and any pimples I had were downsized and dried up! But it makes sense because honey is an anti-inflammatory and cinnamon is something like an anti-microbial? Not 100% sure on the cinnamon part, lol. But give this a try and your stubborn pimples with be going adios!

I also love doing an olive oil oatmeal mask. I use colloidal oatmeal which you use for baths. I use a few spoonfuls with a splash or two of olive oil, until it becomes thick and almost paste-like. I apply it all over and then leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then I use a hot wash cloth and rinse off. If you feel the need to you can apply a small amount of olive oil all over your face as a moisturizer-it works awesome!

For my hair I have recently discovered Pure Argan Oil from vitacost.com It's about $9 for a small bottle but you only need about 3-4 drops(that's for my thick curly hair you may use less) Apply it at bedtime and in the morning when you shower your hair will feel amazingly soft! You can try with olive oil as well and see how it works for your hair! Argan or Olive oil is also good for your nails and cuticles. Just rub it in on your fingers and tada your are on your way to lovely nails! 

I really enjoy making my own body scrub. I use brown sugar or white sugar-whatever is on hand, olive oil, and you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or some vanilla extract. I play with the sugar/oil ratio until it's a consistency I like. I put it in a Tupperware container and it lasts me for weeks! Start with a small amount since a little goes a long way! 

Anth and I Witch Hazel as a face toner and to help with acne. We saw it on Dr.Oz awhile back. It's soothing and works! Give it a try! 

Share with me your favorite DIY projects! Have a great weekend!

Top Ten Fall Lippies!

Since I am a lip product junkie I thought why not do a top ten fall lip product blog?! I posted some photos on Instagram that I will share with you here as well. I am loving Instagram. It's so fun to take a photo of whatever you want and then pick your filter to make it pretty :) I take a lot of photos of makeup and food and randomness! Anywho here is my top ten for fall!
1. Nars New Lover. I got this as a deluxe sample and it's such a pretty pink-y color! Plus it's fancy since it's Nars! :)
2. Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Soft Raspberry. I love these! They smell in a Jell-o packet before you mix it with water and they are hydrating on the lips! Plus I love the jumbo crayon and twist up tube!
3.Mary Kay Color Me Coral Lipstick. This is super hydrating and the tube is so fancy!
4. Mary Kay Nourishine Lipgloss in Cafe Au Lait. I love this lip gloss! It feels super smooth on the lips and such a lovely nude color!
5. Mary Kay Lipstick in One Woman Can. This was a summer limited edition lipstick. It is swirled pink and berry colors and makes a lovely color for fall!
6.Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. These are so nice on the lips! Hydrating and a pretty tint of color!
7. Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm in 225. This a newbie to me but I love the sheer tint of color on the lips. Not too bold but still a beautiful fall color!
8.Laura Geller Color Drenched Lip gloss-color unknown. I received this as a sample from Ulta with my purchase. It's a super pigmented lip gloss and it stays on for quite awhile! I was very surprised when I first put this on how pigmented it was! But still pretty! :)
9.Elf Cosmetics Mineral Lip gloss in Sorority Girl.A pretty color for only $3! Yes please!
10. Mary Kay At Play Lip gloss Pencil in Perfect Pink. These are so fun and such a pretty pink color! Worth a try!
The list is in order from left to right on the photo and the swatches go top to bottom in order as well!
I hope you enjoyed my top ten fall lippies! Tell me what your favorite lip products are for fall!?

Cvs haul & CG jumbo gloss balm first impression!

Hello! I just got home from my friend's wedding this weekend which was beautiful! I did her makeup and it all turned out fabulous! I will try to share a pic soon for you to enjoy!
Anywho I couldnt go without clipping coupons today and doing my usual cvs and target runs! I went to cvs to redeem my $8ecb plus my birthday coupon for a free 2oz body spray! So I picked up milk along with some covergirl items. I had 25% off too which was awesome along with a few covergirl coupons! I hear their nail polish is good so I picked up a top coat along with 2 jumbo gloss balms in 210 & 225. One is a pinky coral and the other is a pretty berry pink for fall. They feel hydrating and leave a nice tint of color but not as much as a lipstick. There is no shimmer in these which is nice. My neutrogena balm sticks are shimmery which bugs me. But what do you do?! :)
The only con is that they smell a bit odd at first but it goes away quickly. So check them out. I think they are worth it if you catch a sale and have coupons!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! :)

My Birthday Wishlist

Hello and Happy October! :) I am getting super excited to head down to Peoria for my friend's wedding this weekend! I am doing her and the bridal party's makeup! It should be a blast! :)
Anywho...I thought I would post my wishlist for my birthday regardless if I get any gifts or not I figured a girl can dream so why not?! :)
Okay so let's see...I'd like any Kitchenaid attachment for my 4.5 quart Kitchenaid mixer. And I'll take a Fendi or Michael Kors purse if anyone really feels the urge to splurge, lol :)
OOO I just saw on bhcosmetics.com that they the super fun and colorful brush set that comes in a travel cup thing, that'd be a great gift too! :)
I told Melissa I'd like a potato masher for my birthday as well. LOL And a potato peeler.
I love candles too especially anything with Pumpkin or Coffee or anything that smells liked baked goods!
Ummm...what else would I want or need....I thought I would have a huge list but really not too long!
And it is raining outside. Boo. I will need my umbrella for my 1-2 minute walk to work . Blerg.
I am sure Anth has everything that I've mentioned that I've wanted memorized. He usually remembers those things pretty well even when I forget that I mentioned it, lol. :) I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached sometimes.
Oh! I know! I love wine. Moscato-pink, red, or white! They are all great!
I totally got Snapchat and Instagram in case any of you were wondering. Follow me on there and it'll be a blast! I think my name for Instagram is rruland87.
I also love pink frosted animal crackers.
I am a sucker for swedish fish too.
Or those candy dots on paper-am i the only one that likes these btw??!!
If there's any good coupons out that don't expire right away I'll accept those as well :)
I love me some Starbucks. I need to try Dunkin' Donuts too. Which by the way they both have a rewards program where you can get FREE COFFEE! I totally signed up! :)
If anyone would like to buy me an awesome Dyson vacuum that'd be fantastic :)
Or if you'd like to pay my rent or buy me groceries, I wouldn't say no to that either!
Haha! No in all seriousness I don't really need much. Just some basics and maybe a few yummy candles and some cute coffee mugs! OH how could I forget! I'd totally love an ice cream cake from Culver's! :)
Happy Thursday!! Have a great rest of your day! Today is my Friday! Woot woot!
