Chapstick 100% Natural Lip Butters

I received some chapsticks not too long ago and figured they would be the same as they usually are. I love using them and I usually carry one with me at all times.
This time, I got three. And all different.
 
Sweet Papaya 
Green Tea Mint
and Pink Grapefruit.

While I immediately opened the Green Tea Mint, my daughter wanted the Pink Grapefruit. She is 4 after all and it said Pink... I loved them!! The grapefruit was very citrus-y and would be perfect for summer. The Sweet Papaya was next and had a nice, warm scent to it. I love it for fall. I use the Green Tea Mint all the time and it smells amazing. I was expecting it to smell too strongly of int, as they per usual. But this on didn't. And the Green Tea scent was there as ell. It is one of my favorite. I gave the Papaya to my mother in law and my daughter kept the Grapefruit.
All in all, we were all happy with them? Yes.
Would I buy them? Yes.
Are they Moisturizing? Yes.
Do they last all day? No.
Do they come off with wear? Yes.
How often did I reapply in one day? About 4 times.
 I say they are worth a try.
Thank you!

 
 
 
I received these free from Influenster for testing purposes and all opinions are my own.

(Late Post) Halloween ♥

Original Date: October 31st
My daughter got to pick her own Costume this year.
She originally wanted Minnie Mouse cause she loves her more than anything lol
but they were out everywhere in her size. She's 2, almost 3, but even 2T is big on her and all we could find was newborn or 4T and bigger : /
It was a bummer and when I found one I wanted online, we thought we could find one in store. 
Not at the Halloween shop or even Walmart...
So we let her pick any costume in her size.
She chose a purple witch outfit.
I have to say, she did a great job at picking out her own costume.
She looked so adorable. I know I'm biased but I wasn't the only one saying it lol

We had a great night and she got a ton of candy that took a month to finish and that's with my hubby helping :)
And I did my nails lol It took a couple different tried to get what I wanted. As usual.

Here is some pictures:

(Late Post) My Birthday Nails

Original Date: October 26th
 I went through a lot of different designs for these. I started with just drawing and my own art and then I remembered I had some Birthday stamping plates from Bundle Monster! :)
I definitely wanted to use my new OPI polishes my Hubby got me for my birthday.
OPI Mod About You
 (It is my new favorite pink)
OPI Charged Up Cherry
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails No Hard Feelings
Kiss silver glitter striping polish.
I also used Snow Me White from SinfulColors.
I hand painted the cupcake on my ring finger and used some ordinary loose glitter for the frosting.
Not the best but I was happy with the results :)

LOVE, love my Bundle Monster stamping plates and my new OPI colors.
Hope you enjoy.
OH. Just in case, the stamper and scraper I used were the XL black stamper from Born Pretty Store!


P.s. Not my real nails. I used Gelish Foundation gel to make them longer and thicker.

I feel silly...

When I say silly, I mean stupid.
Here I am blogging every week and not seeing my posts and wondering why they are showing up in my posts feed but not on my blog...
SCHEDULED BLOGS!! I scheduled them all for November... No idea how or why!
I have done it before on some posts that I have an urge to write but don't want to bombard people with them, but always on purpose.
I will be paying very close attention to ALL of my posts now and their dates. I really feel so silly and a bit disappointed in myself. No more blogging from my phone until I can fully figure it out! That was where I was writing from for a long time cause we were always away from the house and I don't take my laptop everywhere we go, but I take my phone.
So... Anywho...
How goes the Boudoir Challenge?!? I have to say it is really hard for me to do this one. I may/may not post some of mine. I am a bigger gal and have issues lol
But I will try to break out some from my comfort bubble.

Next on my never posted blogs, I went to Ulta again for some much needed pink polish. Okay, maybe not needed but much wanted. And OPI had a buy 2, get 1 free going on... So I got 3.
The perfect light pink, Mod About You.
A dark kinda red/pink, Charged Up Cherry.
And, an almost sheer nude, Mimosas For Mr. & Mrs.
LOVE them all!!
OH!!  And for my Birthday, which is this Sunday, my hubby got me some Bundle Monster Plates!! I am so excited about them and will post some that I have tried already. I got the 2013 Holiday Collection, which has every Holiday and Event. I did some Breast Cancer Awareness nails and some Birthday nails so far. Next I will do some more Fall nails and Halloween ones too!
They have a lot of cute ones for Thanksgiving and Christmas, too.

Lets see...
I took a lot of picture of my daughter. I took a lot on my phone, especially lately, and was fiddling with some apps for editing and a movie editor that I really like. Will post those soon too.
For now, I will let you go and I will be back to posting every week, like normal.
Thanks!!!
