I Dream of Burberry
Well, I am sorry that I have been missing around here the last few days. I ended up on the wrong side of an IV. I prefer to be the one starting the IV not the one getting one. Despite being an IV infusion nurse and giving shots and starting IV’s all day, when it comes to me getting stuck with needles I am a HUGE baby!
Unless I am getting paid to be there, I avoid the hospitals like the plague!!! So, I had to be pretty terrible to be willing to go to the ER. I will spare the details, but I started having unbelievable abdominal pain out of nowhere and ended up in the ER. Of course it is the week of Thanksgiving and I have a million things to do! Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!!!
Despite having no answers as to what caused such terrible pain, the ER doctors and nurses were great. I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband to take care of me, and a supportive family to help with my kids in the middle of the night. I am also thankful that I am feeling mostly better now and should be able to enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow.


I have slightly hooded eyes, I think it would actually be called a heavy fold. My eye shape is actually very similar to hers. Due to this I can’t just do any type of makeup look that I want. Certain strategies help to make a “hooded eye” look more open and awake.
I love Sona Gasparian‘s videos. If you have never watched her before I definitely recommend you check her out! This video about Hooded Eyes Makeup Do’s and Don’ts is such a great tutorial! What a huge difference in the way her eyes look!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss
I am a lipgloss lover! I like my lips to be shiny, smooth, and slick but not sticky. That is exactly what these Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Glosses provide. The shadesPeony Sheen 270 and Mirrored Plum 240 both have a slight sparkle to them without being overly glittery. The Mirrored Plum 240 shade looks more purple in the tube, but on the lips it comes off as more of a lavender. While the two shades that I have featured here are actually limited edition (sorry, not sure if they are still available 😦 ) there are several other beautiful shades to choose from, 12 shades to be exact.
What does the Maybelline Website have to say about the Color Sensational Lip Gloss:

Fall in love with color, all over again:

Use the wand to apply lipgloss starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.
