Friday's Letters

Photobucket
Since I haven't posted in a LONG while...I decided to participate in this week's Friday's Letters. 

Cheating? Maybe. But I don't mind. I pass by her blog a lot and I love seeing her new bundle of joy :D

Dear Friday, you are the last Friday of the month and this also means that I am one week closer to my cruise <3 Excited? You bet your happy ass I am.
Dear Carnival Cruise, I am excited to finally get to see what the fuss is about cruising that makes people go crazy for. It's the all-you-can-eat, isn't it?
Dear E, you are getting so big I can't imagine what it's going to be like when you are talking and walking around like your brother. I love seeing how he makes you so happy and how excited you get when he comes back from "school". It brings tears to my eyes...
Dear JD, you are such a great big brother and such a good little (oops, big) boy. You are such a sweetheart and such a great kid and I'm not just saying that. Seriously. You're great. I am one lucky momma.
Dear Edward, I love you. That is all.
Dear me, you should stop slacking from your workout mode. One whole week without stepping foot in the box*, shame. You bring shame!
Dear Breaking Bad, I am one episode away from being completely caught up until your series finale. Can I just say, your creator, is the devil.
Dear SVU, WHAT A GREAT EPISODE. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START THE SEASON.

Happy Friday readers.

ipsy September 2013 "Classic Beauty" Review

Ah, it's finally here! I really really like this subscription and have remained faithful to this particular box. (OK, not a box but it's definitely worth it!)
I have to admit, I cannot remain in the shadows when it comes to the contents of this bag. I follow their FB page like a hawk and find myself reading a number of pages trying to figure out what's the next goodie I'll get. So, without further adieu, let's check out what we got this month!

that ever so familiar packaging
first look
This month, Michelle Phan, the one who started ipsy, gave everyone a sample of her newest thing called the Life Palette. Which is basically are a series of color palettes already picked out for different occasions for your everyday life situations.

I got the "out to lunch" palette to try out. Which of course I haven't... <.< but I will pretty soon. So keep an eye out for that post.

Freeman Beauty Facial Paper Mask:
I had pleaded with the heavens that I would not get something face-related. I am not that big on facial products to begin with and I'm pretty sure I was clear on my profile thing...Hmm. Should check that out. But power to those who know about this particular brand and would love to have something like this. Going to the gift pile!

J-Cat Beauty Fantabulous Lipstick:
Oh how I wished I would've gotten the Caityn Tinted Lip Balm instead. Weh. Well, regardless this is actually pretty nude which helps on those days that I'd rather accentuate my eyes rather than my lips. ;*

NYX Single Eyeshadow (Deep Charcoal):
I hear great things from this brand and I am more than happy to have a new eyeshadow to add to my collection. I only have a palette from Sephora. So this is nice to have.

Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Volumizing Mascara:
More mascara? Looks like I'll be well-stocked until the end of the year. I recently started using the one from last month's bag. So until I run out...you'll be sitting in a bag with all the other stuff I haven't used from ipsy. lol

Starlooks Obsidian Kohl Eye Pencil:
I love eyeliner. I really do. Now, I would've loved to have the liquid eyeliner that they were offering...but meh. I guess none for me. Plus I've been into gel eyeliner which has worked better anyway. So take that!
I liked that it was dark on the first go. Excellent.
The bag:
Sapphire. My birthstone. Automatically a plus. I'd describe this as a sort of floral pattern...but it's really pretty. I put it on the top part of what I liked about this month's pick. That's what I'll be rocking out this month for sure.

I give this bag a 3 out of 5 this month. I didn't hate it but I wasn't in love with it. Plus the whole point is for me to try out new products and see what works for me. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'll know someone who would love to have it. Right?

Did you get this month's bag? What's you get? Love it, hate it? Share!
I don't regret it one bit! For $10/mo, you can't just NOT try it!

SO WHAT! Wednesday


This week I am saying so what if...:

- I have been procrastinating a few of my assignments. I have a week to get it done and turn it in but why do they give me a week??? Oh well, not stressing it!

- I haven't cooked dinner for more than a week now. Not like JD really minds...he really loves eating sandwiches and PB&Js!

- I keep doing google searches on cruising. Looking at pictures of past cruisers during October...can you say obsessed?! I can't help it, I've never been cruising before...tell me I'm not the only one!

- I can never stop myself from knowing what I'm getting in my ipsy bag! Being spoiler-free is almost impossible for me...especially if then they have a glam room where they tell you what you're getting before it gets to your hands. I have to say I may have to update my profile because there were a few things I would have preferred.

- I keep doing these link-ups. What can I say? I enjoy them and I love reading new blogs that could become a staple in my daily morning routine. :)

- I keep seeing all these new babies popping up everywhere and it makes me a little baby crazy. @.@ But then again I remember the little ones I have now and I keep my legs crossed for Jesus. (lol)

What are you saying so what to?
