Hey Everyone!
It's been SO long and I feel awful and sad that I haven't been here on my blog for such a long time. Lots has gone on including getting a new puppy and moving. I had packed up all of my makeup, cameras, and put away money for the move which lead me to being gone for such a long time. Good news is that I am settled in to my new place and have set up my room and vanity and am good to go! I am so excited to continue working on my blog now and I am really considering making a Youtube Channel because my new room has the best lighting, ever! I always attempted making a channel but the lighting at my old place was terrible (it was a basement apartment) and ugh, just wasn't fun.
Anyways, I have some posts lined up for you guys as well as some missing glam bag videos. I hope that you all will stick around and continue to follow me and my blog. Thanks so much for your support and I again am SO happy to be back!

Milani Baked Blush swatches - Dolce Pink & Berry Amore
Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink & Berry Amore ($6.99) - Dolce Pink is a beautiful shimmery pink while Berry Amore is a rosey golden color. I had forgotten about these blushes and found them sitting in my makeup drawer. I decided that I would whip them out and use them. I now remember how pretty these are! That being said, they wouldn't be a go to *everyday* kind of blush for me because they are too shimmery for my taste, but a once in a while *gotta have that sparkle* look would definitely call for these blushes.
Where to Buy: CVS, K-Mart
Wet n Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick Think Pink 901b Swatches
Wet n Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick in Think Pink 901b ($1.99) - This is a beautiful light bubblegum pink. I love the color of this lipstick for everyday wear. In my opinion, is a very subtle but pretty color to wear during the spring/summer. This particular color seemed to be a bit more dry than the others but I might have picked one from a bad batch or something. Overall I really enjoy this lipstick.

NARS Angelika vs e.l.f. Fuchsia Fusion Comparison & Swatches
After picking up NARS Angelika at the new Sephora that opened near me and already owning e.l.f.'s Fuschia Fusion, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to do a comparison post. It's interesting to see what extra money will or will not buy you. For these two blushes, they are very similar in color but have some key differences. Continue reading for some more information about each blush.
NARS Angelika ($28.00) - A medium cotton candy pink with gold glitter. A beautiful color and the glitter is just right for nighttime wear. I try to avoid wearing sparkly blush during the day because it can be a bit much, but at night it really catches the light nicely and brings a beautiful glow to your face.
e.l.f. Fuchsia Fusion ($3.00) - A light/medium cotton candy pink with gold glitter. This is very similar in color to Angelika, but is a bit lighter. It is a great color but is much more 'powdery' than the more expensive twin. It would be a great dupe if you don't want to shell out the extra money for the NARS blush but you will notice a difference in quality. I prefer the NARS just because I don't like how powdery this blush can be!

Something I Have Been Working On
Hello lovelies! How have you been? I know that I have been pretty great as of recent! Let's hope that continues. I have picked up a new hobby recently and wanted to share a few pictures of what I have been up to. I have always been a huge fan of arts, crafts, and D.I.Y. I have been wanting to get into jewelry making so I decided to head to the store to pick up some supplies. Picking out beads is SO fun and you can create so many different combinations of jewelry with just a small selection of beads. I have been making some bracelets because I really want to open my own Etsy shop! I have been thinking about it for a couple years now and think that I might actually go through with it soon. What do you think? Would you be interested in this type of bracelet? I was thinking about a $5 price tag, but I would love to get opinions before I open the shop!

MyGlam May 2012
May's MyGlam bag was all about love, love, love! There were five products featured including a lipstick, perfume sample, makeup brushes, and nail decals. Overall the bag was okay for me! I didn't like the lipstick color I received and I am not a huge fan of perfume samples, but the brushes and nail decals are nice. The bag was super cute though!

a small update
I just wanted to make a quick post about why I haven't been very active lately! Things have been so crazy and hectic around here and I have been feeling so guilty and sad that I haven't made any blog posts for a couple weeks! The last post I made was made right before a trip to NYC. Before we left, my boyfriend and I were really stressed out about the fact that he was graduating but wasn't offered a job yet. His school loans are pretty high and we NEEDED a job offer to come through. Luckily, he received one! We are so happy to announce that he will be working full time soon and will be making much more than we expected right out of college. His job is around an hour away from our current home, so we will be moving in a couple months. I have been apartment hunting and budgeting, which is another reason why I have been so busy. We are 90% going to end up at an apartment that we ADORE but there are still a lot of papers we need to fill out. Of course he had a graduation scheduled and we had been prepping for his party. We celebrated last weekend and it was a BLAST! There was a lot of cleaning and organizing to be done before so we had just been swamped with lots to do. Fortunately, that has all passed and all that is left a few couple weeks of time off before he starts his job. I am sure as soon as he starts, I will have a lot of free time on my hands and will be able to be back to blog posting regularly. I will be posting about a few beauty subscription boxes I have received in the past few weeks in the upcoming days and I hope you all enjoy them! Thanks so much for being wonderful subscribers and checking out my blog. It means the world to me to see others enjoying my posts. That's all for now!! Toodles :-)
