Feels like forever since I posted anything, even a simple hello. I know this is very late but, how were everyone's holidays? Well at the end of last month, my honey and I took off to see his fav football team .:.The Dallas Cowboys.:. play against the Baltimore Ravens. Well as everyone already knows, the Cowboys were embarrassingly beaten by the Ravens. But we had so much fun the whole time. Except for when I got sick at the game. It was at night and it was freezing! So I had a cold through Christmas =(. But got over it!  Hopefully I can successfully post some pics  on here of our good time! Look At The Top Post =)

 didn't really get anything "beauty wise" for X-mas. But my kids did get me some perfume for part of my gift. I got Burberry The Beat and it smells awesome!!

Within the last couple of days I got 2 packages that I had been waiting for. Camellia Rose and Lauress. Both of these companies I haven’t tried before. I got my package from Camellia Rose first. It had taken almost a month to get it only because my email is retarded. Every time Jen would try to email me about shipping costs, I wouldn’t get them! So I had no idea she was trying to contact me! So about a week ago I thought I would try and find out what was going on with my order and wrote her an email. She then responded and explained that she had been trying to get a hold of me for weeks! Ugh! Stupid Yahoo! Lol. I ordered her primer in the original formula. I know some people get reactions from the regular formula but I took my chances and ordered a full size. And I Love It! This has been the best primer I have used. I’ve only tried a couple of others including: Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer (which made me break out), OceanMist’s Skinsuals Oil Free Makeup Primer (had a horrific smell and made me break out), Fyrinnae’s Under There Primer (I did like this but they discontinued it), and Classy Minerals Smooth primer (descent but didn’t wow me).

When I put on Jen’s primer my pores almost seem to disappear! No other product does that for me. And my makeup does last a lot longer which is the best part. I am so glad that I finally ordered. I had always heard how great it was and now I’m kicking myself for not purchasing it sooner. She also threw in a sample of Goat’s Milk Mango Soap. Smells really good and makes my skin soft!

Now on to my 2^nd order that I got. Lauress! They really take the time to make sure your package is secure. Everything was nicely sealed and wrapped tight around a cardboard.They even threw in a free sample of eyeshadow! I wanted to try some foundation samples and blush samples. For the foundations I picked the Minimalist formula in Fresh Gold and Warm Gold and the Etheral formula in Warm Gold. I think I did pretty good with the color choices. They both look good. Warm Gold might might be an eensy weensy bit dark on me but you can’t even tell. I think that Fresh Gold will be better for me though especially when the summer starts coming to an end. First day I tested the foundation I was actually on my way to a concert. I couldn’t decide which foundation I wanted to try first because I had heard that even though the Ethereal provides better coverage, that the Minimalist lasts longer. Well for that day since I was going to be perspiring like a dog at a concert, I needed both benefits so I decided to just use both. I put a layer of the Ethereal in Warm Gold first and then a layer of the Minimalist in Fresh Gold after. I think it worked pretty good. All the way up to the concert I really liked the finish and I thought the color suited me well. By the time I got home (like 2am) my makeup didn’t exactly feel fresh only because I had such a good time. I didn’t expect it be fresh so I’ll have to do some more days of real testing.
