I heart my Secret Santa!

Cake Pops! 

My secret santa gave me Bakerella's book on Cake Pops!  They are so easy to make (at least the pop part anyway) so it leaves all the fun of decorating.  They would also make a great gift. Can't wait to give them a try.

Tis the season....for super gifts

Hello Sweethearts <3 Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I had to put my skinny jeans away for a few days, but there's time to loose those extra lbs before xmas.  Black Friday is a no no for me, I stayed home and worked off my stuffing buzz by cleaning up the messy leftovers.  As in previous years, my shopping is done online.  I found some cute things at Modcloth...some of my friends might find these in their stockings.

~ ♣ Sephora loots ♣ ~

ello Sweethearts! My Sephora loot arrived a few days ago so I've had some time to test drive the products. Overall I'm very happy with my purchases, especially the Moscow Palette for an amazing $10. 

{ Reviews }

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional 

• [ + ] Made my pores appear smaller and gave my skin a nice, smooth finish
• [ + ] Didn't clog my pores
• [ + ] Didn't look dull
• [ - ] My cream blush seems to negate the smooth effects.  I had to put a bit more on after the blush
• [ - ] Had to reapply a few times a day to keep the effect going
• [ - ] PRICE $28 is a bit steep

Overall I like this product, I don't really mind reapplying because I do touch-ups during the day anyway.  Plus it's nice to be able to have that smooth look without caking on the powder all day. 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

• [ + ] It does what it says...my shadow stays much better than without it.  I do still get a bit of creasing but only with very glittery or textured shadows.

Stila Make An Impression In Moscow Travel Palette

• [ + ] Love this!  You can't beat this palette for $10.  The set contains Stila's award-winning Eye Shadows in four trend-setting shades: Matruschka (beige), Chill (pale blue), Nadia (orange copper), and Mink (brown). The wintery palette also includes Convertible Color in Lily, a sheer, hydrating pink shade that's ideal for creating a naturally flushed, cold-weather glow. A must have, especially for those of us blessed with green eyes..the copper color is amazing.
