Pink Eye Makeup

So ya, i have been contemplating doing a Pink Eye Shadow on my eyes, but i'm scared to lol.  I love pink, it is my favorite color.  I want to be able to wear pink on my eyes, a dramatic pink, but i am so scared to do it hehe. I think it looks amazing on girls i've seen wearing it in town, on youtube etc.  Would it look good on me?  I don't know.  I am 33 years old and i don't wanna come off like i am trying to be 20 again.  But i have a love for makeup and always have since i was a young teen.

I have always stayed with the more neutral colors until recently.  My husband has bought me the 88 pallets from Coastal Scents.  Warm Pallet, Color Pallet, and the Shimmer Color Pallet.  They have all these amazing colors but so many of them i'm afraid of.

Anyone out there got any advice?  You think i'm too "OLD" to be doing dramatic bright colors?  Or am i just too concerned about what people would think of me?

New Facial Cleansing Routine

So hi everyone,

I have been using a new facial cleansing product for a few weeks now and wow! I am impressed.

My skin has always been a little touchy as far as using products. It is very sensitive, and i tend to break out easily from certain products. Also, i have been dealing with large pores (eeww) for years now around the apple of my cheeks inward to the nose. I have read a lot of posts and reviews on products that help with it, and make up ideas to help conceal it. Not much had worked very well in the past. I am 33 years old and wasn't ready for all the anti-aging, reduce wrinkle, firm skin kinda lotions yet. I just wanted to start taking care of my skin well.

If you are feeling like me as far as your skin is concerned, then i recommend you try the following:


L'Oreal Skin Genesis Pore minimizing Gel Cleanser- i use this every time i wash my face when i'm not in the shower.
L'Oreal Skin Genesis Deep Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser- i use this in the shower
L'Oreal Skin Genesis Micro-Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towelettes- for when i am lazy
L'Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Skin Strengthening Lotion- every morning, even under foundations.


Those are the products i have been using for a few weeks and i am in love with them. I have noticed a huge difference in how my skin feels and appears. Pores have visibly become smaller, fine lines are looking less and less defined, and my skin just glows.

You should spend the money and get these products. I will be picking up the night lotion and the serum.

I do recommend not getting the lotion too close to your eyes, as i have sensitive eyes and find it can be bothersom. I am careful using it. Plain babyoil around my eyes at night seems to be all i need for moisturizing my eyelids and helping with those fine lines.

Let me know what you think. Hope someone is helped by this :)

Have a great day <3
