H54F: Snow Day edition!!

Linking up with Lauren for H54F!!   So I was supposed to start my new job today, but here in the South, we're having a snow day y'all!!
Never mind the fact that we got like 3 inches of snow last night and it's gone now, but we had a snow day none the less.

1. My New Job.  I have a feeling that this will top my list for the next month. 2. Snow Day. I've showered, napped (twice), and mostly watched 3. Classic Movie Marathon. Chelsee knows that I frequently have my own personal movie marathons, 90's movies, Chick Flicks, last night I started with the 1948 version of "Anna Karenina" it has been classic movie perfection all day. 4. My New makeup.  After my second interview earlier this week I was feeling fairly confident but still really nervous so shopping seemed like the logical stress reliever.  I also decided that my makeup routine could use some sprucing up.  I decided that I needed to suck it up and start wearing big girl makeup.  That meant foundation.  I hate foundation. HATE it.  I'll post more about that tomorrow. 5. Kitty BooBoo.  My sweet precious baby loves when we have Mommy and Me Movie Days.  He has very sophisticated taste in cinema.
Katelyn, Chelsee & I will launch our fabulous giveaway next Friday!! Happy Weekend!!

What's inside my makeup bag

I am by no means a beauty expert.  I do however consider myself pretty skilled at doing my own makeup at the very least.  Doing it for someone else freaks me out, but I think it's the germaphobe in me that silently panics whenever anyone asks me to do their makeup because who knows how they actually take care of their face?!  And I have never and will never be a makeup sharer.  I used to be strictly a drugstore makeup buyer, but I have discovered higher end make up brands (mostly through Birchbox) and I'm addicted!! .All of that being said, I thought I'd share a few of my new favorite must haves (links included)!!

 

1. Hope in a Jar I can't live without this stuff y'all. Plus, It was one of Oprah's favorite things not so long ago.. so you know it's good.

2. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment I love these!! I just got the itty bitty baby ones from Sephora (the ones they sent for your birthday) and it's the best! I love the subtle tint of the Rose.  I'm thinking I may have to get the coral and berry ones as well.

3. Naked Palettes 1 & 2  I have both. I bought the first one and was like I'll never use the colors on the second, but then I found a brand new one dirt cheap on Ebay and I was like Sold!!  So now I have them both and I use them daily.  I personally hate the look of the newest one (Naked Basics) plus they are all matte and I'm a shimmer kinda girl.

4. DiorShow Waterproof Mascara: The holy grail of mascara.

5. theBalm Hot Mama: I got a baby one in my birchbox and LOVE how flattering it is to my skin! I normally wear very pink blush since my cheeks tend to flush a lot naturally.  I've tried a coraly blush and the orangey undertones were not flattering.  This blush has a sbutble shimmer and the peach tone is universally flattering.

6. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner: Another Birchbox find.  I could never do liquid liner, until I met this little guy.  It's a felt tip liquid liner that is SO easy to apply! even for someone like me who has ridiculously shaky hands.  They also come in funky colors like purple and aqua.. if you're into that sort of thing (I'm not).

So those are my latest beauty buys... What's in your makeup bag?
