Makeup Mondays: Sweet Valentine [Tutorial]

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I've put together a look inspired by the romantic hues of the pink defender lily.

[via]

Lilies are one of my favorite flowers (my other favorite is the sunflower) and I love the pink and purple tones in the pink defender lilies - so much more fun to get than roses!

This look is so romantic and is a perfect way to stay festive whether you're swearing off love over lunch with your girlfriends or spending the evening with your special someone.

Products Used

Eyes:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadow in Too Cool, Coastal Scents 252 Ultimate Palette in Fancy Pansy, Love Spell, Purple Panic, Violetta, and Candlelight, Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black, Hard Candy Stay In Line Eyeliner, Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara.

A nude or pale lip will finish this look - a simpler lip balances out the heavier eye makeup.

Sorry it took me so long to post this - I've been having computer issues again so I'm using my sister's MacBook and iMovie is frikken CONFUSING!

Well, I hope you liked this little makeup look/tutorial!  I had a lot of fun making it (not so much fun editing it) for you!

P.S. Joey is a free man!  His case was wrapped up this morning and we're so stoked about it!  No jail time, no curfew, no restrictions!  Totally excited to be able to celebrate it with a date night!

It's Been A Long Time...

I shouldn't have left you.

Without a dope beat to step to...

So, hi!

Once again, I am alive!

Things have just been crazy 'round here lately.

Here's the bulleted version of the last couple of weeks:

• Court hearings
• Sports
• Joey broke his leg
• My laptop screen needs to be replaced
• PTA meetings
• Doctor's appointments because Joey broke his leg
• Family get-togethers
• Stress and fatigue due to Joey's broken leg

So in case you haven't noticed the bold words up there, Joey broke his leg.  Yeah.

At first we thought it was just a bruised/sprained ankle but when he finally went to the doctor the other day, we found out it was actually broken.  He was supposed to get it casted this coming Wednesday but we just got a call this morning from the doctor saying that they missed something so he now needs to see a specialist.

I've been going nuts trying to take care of the kids plus him all by myself!  I mean, I can handle the kids, no problem - but dealing with a picky 30-year-old is something else entirely!  I think taking care of a newborn is easier.  (Sorry, honey!)

Anyway, so I'm apologizing now if things are a bit quiet around here for the next few weeks.  I'll try my hardest to post as much as I can but until my big baby can take care of himself again, I'm on nurse duty.

P.S. I was a girl scout when I was younger but, is it too late for me to get my first aid patch?
