Stila - Self Adjusting Coral blush

I'm not really sure how I feel about this blush or any "self adjusting" beauty product for that matter. Does it really work? How does it work exactly? I am a sucker for anything coral so I gave the Stila Self Adjusting Coral a try. If this is self adjusting than I think my face wants me to be a clown. This little ol' blush is a pigmented one that's for sure. Even with a light hand I manage to add too much. The first time I bought it I ripped opened the package as soon as I got in the car... added a little to my cheeks with my fingers and thought it looked ok. Then when I got home and was in normal light I was horrified and embarrassed at how much I put on. I honestly can't seem to get this blush to look right on me and it should be THAT much work. It's just really, really pigmented so I think that's the problemo. It also has very strong orange undertones that do me no favor.

Maybe you have had better luck then me with this blush but I cannot justify paying $22 for this payoff. It's not worth it too me.


It actually don't look THAT horrible in this picture but in person it's really unflattering and much too bright of a color. I'm actually kinda disappointed it looks better in pictures then in person. Bad example. Oh well.  

Top is the color at full strength.. how it would appear on the skin without blending. The bottom is the color blended. Again, the natural light washed out some of the actual intensity of the colors.

Anyway, that is just my two cents and I think it was a bad example of my true thoughts on it because the pictures really don't look all that bad. In person... I am not a fan. It just looks really bad on me... almost clownish. 

Happy Halloween!! Today my little guy is 3!!

Happy Halloween + OOTD


Carving pumpkins is so hard! Next year, I'm definitely following this Halloween Decor post and going with other creative themes instead. Matt's is a scary face and mine was supposed to be a wedding dress and a tie/pants with the words I Do on the side. Totally obvious right?

The Body Shop - Blueberry Body Butter -review

Blueberry body butter is my favorite body butter of all time. It smells so delicious! I use it in the winter only, cause then my skin is that dry that it needs the extra moisturizing. In fact, they only sell Blueberry body butter in the winter anyways... 


This body butter is directed for dry skin. And I can vouch for that. 

This is very thick, 9 hours after application I can still feel it on my skin. It doesn't absorb right away, it takes its time. Which is why I use this on those days when I can stay at home and wear my pj's. I would never put jeans on after applying this. Sometimes I apply this right before bed, put on my pj's, and go to sleep, shower in the morning and then it's okay to dress. 

I don't use this daily, it would be way too much. I use this once or twice a week. Also I only put this on the bottom half of my body. The scent is there, but it isn't overpowering. Still, I don't want to be completely covered in Blueberry-scented body butter. 

I bought this last winter. I only opened it now. I heard that this would only be sold for one season, which apparently isn't true, but that freaked me out so I bought a couple, and had this one left for this winter. I stored it in a cool place, but not a cold place. I only opened it recently too. 

This body butter is really thick, so if I would want to use body butters daily, I'd use something less thick for most of the days, and then this one for dry skin I'd use once a week or so. But still, this is one of my all time favorites! 
What is your favorite Body Shop Body Butter scent?

Just wanted to tell you guys that I love Joey Lawrence. 
I watch Melissa and Joey all the time (I love Melissa Joan Hart) and it's such good clean comedy. 
Kind of reminds me of TGIF when I was young. 

Happy Friday everyone!
