Thank you to all my readers. I have enjoyed sharing my life and loves over the past 3+ years but I feel it is my time to move on and pursue other interests. I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity and wish you all the very best.

Beauty Addicts Review

I am as guilty as the next mom of not bothering to put on make-up often enough. Some days I look at myself in the mirror and I realize that I look like death warmed over. So, I was thrilled to receive two products from Beauty Addicts. Not as much as my husband was however.

Beauty Addicts line of cosmetics comes in 4 different color families: Glow, Express, Motivate, and Seduce. If you are like me and can never figure out what eye shadow goes best with what blush or lipstick, then Beauty Addicts might just be the line of cosmetics your are looking for.

SolutionEYES are Beauty Addicts eye shadow quads that come in 4 different shades. I received the Express which has 4 shades of brown (the Express color family is described as buff, rose-gold, cream and bronze) which they claim are designed to mix flawlessly for goof-proof application. Well, I am that goof they speak of and I was able to look pretty darn good if I do say so myself. One of my complaints when it comes to eye shadows is that it ends up all clumped up in my eye creases. These did not. I do suggest using a slight hand, they are very concentrated, so a little goes a long way. You don't want to look like a clown.

RelationLIPS contains 4 lip glosses that are infused with shea butter, aloe vera, vitamin E and a hint of wild berry essence. They go only smoothly and are really beautiful. Of course I received the Express color family and I have tried wearing them indiviually and mixing a light sheer shade with a textured darker shade and all have looked wonderful. My only complaint is that they do not stay as long as I would hope, I do have to reapply several times throughout the day.

While these are not inexpensive, the SolutionEYES retails for $35 and the RelationLIPS retails for $28, you need to keep in mind that they contain 4 shadows and lip glosses respectively. The quality is superior and I loved the colors. I will certainly be adding the remainder of the line to my wish list.

Psh- if only I wore makeup. Now that I work at home, I find it hard to motivate myself to wear any. Bad, I know. I have looking for some natural makeup and cosmetics, will have to investigate this! Do you know if it is natural? Ah well- pretty much the only thing I am using right now is olive oil on my face (it really isn't that greasy) and the Topricin foot cream for my ugly tired feet! Just soothes so nicely. THat is it ma' friend. So I guess you can feel sorry for my husband now...I am sure he wishes I would hurry it up on finding the rest of my natural beauty products LOL! :D
