Pure

Hi all,

Just wanted to add a quick post. I feel as if I am having withdraw from not creating looks for about 2 weeks now.

I had a Melanage peel 9 days ago and my skin looks so much better! It is still shedding and the mornings are when it looks best at the moment for as the day goes on, the micro peeling shows up more. I know, it's a little awful but in the end, I can see it will be so worth it!

So here I can provide the shortest list of products I've ever used!

Paula Dorf Brunette 2 +1 brow shadow
L.A. Colors Lash Building Mascara in Black

I see the light at the end of the Tunnel!

Fun Beauty Photograph

Actually done by my husband last September with my friend Julie!

Just thought it would be fun to share. Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Yep, I'm doing it

I've not posted but one look into my week and a half of two weeks vacation. Earlier, I posted one reason why (working our backsides of on doing repairs on our house 8 hours each day in the boiling Texas weather) and now this:

I am sure for anyone new seeing my blog that you might be taken aback a little! but I just thought to myself, why not? With the lovely fun bits comes the maintenance.

However, who wants to see a "regular" photo of a mask I had to wear for 10 hours on Monday? No one. So I made it arty. : )

It's called a Melanage mask. After Monday, my face felt tight and leathery and well now, I've been peeling since yesterday and am now half reptilian! It should reveal brand new baby skin in the end so it should be worth it!

When I return to normalcy let's say within a week, I will be sharing some wonderful looks using Kiss My Sass Cosmetics and I cannot wait to share swatches and reviews as well!

Yay!!

A non-makeup post

Hi everyone!

I just thought I'd quickly post as I've not put anything up the past several days. My husband and I have been working ever so hard on our house (it's my "workcation") as it's been in need of updates/repairs. It's been exhausting but worth it. I've also managed to overcome my fear of heights! Yay!!

I am planning on doing a look in the next couple of days!
