#SubscriptionBoxSaturday BB5 Feb 2015

Good Morning Beauties!!!  Guess what!!??  I got a #SubscriptionboxSaturday for ya!!!  what a plus to go out and check the mail today and have my #BeautyBox5 waiting for me!!???

My grandson was super excited about the "snakes" this month!!! (that's what he calls the little paper strip thingies lol)  They were a cute color combo of a pink and a teal color!!  Way more festive then the usual black!

"When it comes to our year, February might just take the cake- literally.  This month were turning 3- yippee!- and we couldn't have done it without you, dear subscriber.  So, how to celebrate our birthday?  Marvelous makeup and superb skincare, of course!  Were so happy you joined the party~ now, throw some confetti and dig in!"

To go get yours......just click here!

The first thing this month, which is a full size: Marsk Mineral eyeshadow in vanilla frosting

Retail: $22.50 0.04oz

















We couldn't ship actual birthday cake, but how about some frosting?  Treat yourself to this iridescent mineral eye shadow! BB5 Tip: With subtle sparkle. it can also double as a soft highlighter #marsk

My thought??  I can always use a good highlighter.  Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get it open for a decent swatch!!  I am so sorry!! As soon as I get into it, Ill update and add a picture!!  I honestly don't think I would pay 23.00 for this tiny little pod thingie though,,,,,,,,

next: Revlon Colorstay nail enamel | Retail: 3.99 0.4 fl oz

This was also a full size product!!!
Stand out at any soiree and balance the confetti with a bold nail!  These supersaturated hues have our hearts when it comes to a one-coat coverage and longlasting wear.  I got the color velvet rope

I don't mind this at all! I love anything nail related!!  I haven't tested this color yet but will real soon!!  I am really happy with this!!

3rd thing is Absolute New York Absolute Love Lip Balm | Retail $5.00 0.42 oz

 






There's so many reasons to cheer for this party ready balm!  Major moisture?? Check!  Sweet scent??  Check!!  A tiny amount of tint??  Check!!  Cute in your clutch??  check!!  #absoluteny

Once again y'all!!!  This is also a full size!!!!! What what??!!  I got this in bubble gum.  I have to say, this smells just like it!!!!  The description says it has a hint of color.........

I don't know if I really agree with that!!  Maybe just bad lighting on my swatch??

now lets do my....

least favorite thing......

GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment | Retail: $69.00 1.7 oz

After a long celebration, your skin needs some TLC!  Apply this anti-aging mask for 10 mins (it tingles while its working!)  then rinse off in  circular motions- it doubles as an exfoliant!  #glamglow

Ok, first off.......FOIL PACK!!!!  I HATE these things!!!  And not only that, how am I gonna know if I like something after using it only one time???   uhhhhhhh, No! Im good!! thanks anyways!!!

wanna know my fave????

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil | retail $3.49 0.056 oz

Spend less time getting ready and more time gertting down with these pretties- just glide and go! BB5 Tip: For color that lasts all night, layer over a powder or primer!!! #avon

I am not an avon girl!!! But, I have to say I got some avon lotion for Christmas and now I have 3!!  I am super excited to try this!!  This was also another full size item!!! I got the color, well, shoot!!  I cant find the name!!  But, it looks like it will be a great inner corner and brow bone highlighter!!!

We also got a BB5 Bonus

$20.00 Gift card for #yourminerals

All in all I am pretty happy with this months box!!  I mean, 4 outta 5 items were full size this month!!  I cant wait to try some of it out and maybe review it for y'all!!!!  Now its time to get back to my sweet hearts!! I hope y'all have a perfect Valentines Day!!!!

From me to you!!!!!!

Muahs!!

#Manicmonday

Today is #manicmonday!! Hey y'all! How was your weekend? Mine was alright. My birthday went ok. Was with my kids and a couple of friends came by.  I also returned my laptop.😞 no, i didn't want to, but, it was the right decision. That was just a bunch of money spent on something i just don't have to have at the moment. I pray I'll be able to get it back soon, but, right now just wasn't the right time. That's just one of them things us mom's just have to do sometimes.  Ya know? And you know what, i am very proud of myself for being able to do that. With my bipolar, i used to not think of things and what will happen in the long run. I believe i have become so much better being responsible financially!!!! That was always the bad thing off being manic! Not being able to control my spending habits!! I am so thankful I'm getting stronger and able to control that more.

My son came up on weds and yesterday i had to drive him back home to Columbus!! This really is sad to me. I barely get to see him because of his football. I have to really appreciate the time i do get with him! I love my son and I'm beyond proud of him. He got to go to Atlanta this past week for the rising seniors bowl. He was the one player from his high school that was chosen. He told me it was a cool thing. They got to play football, had workshops on life after football and things to think about for collage and they painted pictures for the hospital!!

My baby is grown

Play ball

Learning

Working hard

As i was saying earlier, my bday was ok. I did get too spend it with the ones i love, and that's fine by me. We had spaghetti for dinner(my fave) and just chilled at the house. My 17 year old son used to always be rocked as a baby, so, i attempted to rock his big ole butt,  yea. That didn't work! Then ALL of my kids decided to see if i could hold em all!

Rocking my baby

Ion know why she grabbed his boobs lol

Ooommmmmmmmmmm

Then my friends shae and allyssa came by. I don't drink, but they do, and it was so funny watching my friend shae take like 30 mins to take a shot! Lol then we went and grabbed milkshakes right before midnight!

Then on Sunday, me and my lil squad loaded up to head to Columbus to take my son home. I hope i get too see him soon! 

So, what all did you do this weekend??

I am beyond thankful for my family!!  I have been computerless since I started this blog.  I have to say, very hard to do from a little, cheap smart phone.  That's one reason I haven't been able to get into being consistent.  Since my bday is Saturday, I got me a new laptop today!!!  I am super excited!!  I haven't had a new one in a min!!!  My family is awesome, I mean....really, they are!

 

 

They know I LOVE blogging, I do!  And they have heard me complain and moan now since October about blogging from my crappy phone! lol Well, not anymore!!! I am honestly dancing a jig right now.......really........

 

 

 

The next thing I am thankful for is that my kids were able to have a great Christmas!!  I know I have shared a little from Christmas eve but, I got Christmas day coming up real soon!!

 

 

I am also thankful I got to be with my kids and D last night to bring in the new year.  No clubs or bars.....safe and sound, at home, with my family.  I couldn't ask for a better way to bring in the new year!!!  And I am beyond blessed to see another year......2015 and my 37th year on this earth!!!! 

 

 





 

aren't my new cards soooooo cute!!!  I adore them so much!! PINK!! I found them at Wal-Mart!!!

 

I pray that everyone had a great time last night ringing in the new year and I wish for a happy and successful 2015!!!!!
