Time for Another Giveaway!!!!!

Another time gap of me being MIA for a bit again! However, I'm back...I'm going to try to blog at least twice a week with random updates, thoughts, and a review here and there.

Anyways with Thanksgiving finally behind us, I figure it was time to do a small giveaway here on my blog...since sharing is caring..and everybody has to be thankful for something.

So before I go into the rules and what is up for grabs for this giveaway, I figure I share a little bit of what I am thankful for this year 2011.

My Top 5 Things I am Thankful for 2011

1. I am thankful for my loving family (which includes my immediate as well as extended). It is because of them I am the person I am today.
2. I am thankful for my awesome and amazing friends (both those near and far)...especially those who are my best friends...as they have touched my heart and forever left their imprint on it. I have learned so many lessons from my friends. I have so many wonderful memories of great moments that make me smile even on the hardest of days.
3. I am thankful for the opportunity to have experienced life both as a military dependent and a civilian. I have got to travel to different countries and experience different ways of life, because of being a military wife. I have a greater appreciation to military persons, for what they do...considering I got to experience that lifestyle.
4. I am thankful for having a job, considering having just recently relocated back to the states. I know that times are hard and that I am very lucky to have income coming in, especially with so many bills. I only hope that I can find my nitch in professional life. 
5. I am thankful for my health, I only hope that I can get in better shape this upcoming year.

FOTD: Budget Beauties Neutral Look with a POP of Color

Another day...another reason to rock the Neutrals (as it seems that has been my signature this summer...though mind you we are having fall like weather right now in Germany...so go figure).

I am going to try to stay on top of my Budget Beauties Section on my YouTube Channel, so I decided to play with my drug store products and see what I could come up with.

Better Look at the Eyes






Little more Focus on one eye




Products used for Eyes:
ELF Essential Eyelid Primer
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Iced Mocha
LA Colors Darling 5 Pan Palette
LA Colors Traditional 12 Pan Palette
Wet N Wild Eggplant Cream Eyeliner
Revlon Colorstay quad in Berry Bloom
Essence Lash Mania Mascara in Black
ELF Essential Natural Lashes



I think the addition of the false lashes really made the look pop. And even though I have brown eyes, the neutral colors still look quite nice. But of course the purple does draw the extra attention as well!

Lips



Items used for Lips:
ELF Essential Lip Liners in Bark (Outlined & filled in)
NYX Girls Round Lipstick in Orange Soda (filled in & slightly blended)
ELF Essential Glossy Lip Shine in New York (discontinued color, middle of cupids bow and lower lip)



Items used for rest of the face

Until next time!!
