Glamoflauge.

When my MAC Studio Finish Concealer started to run low, I turned to my favorite two sites: Pinterest and MakeupAlley. Pinterest suggested Hard Candy's Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer. It's $6 and only available at Wal-Mart. On MakeupAlley it has a 3.9 out of 5 and a 73% "would buy again," which is actually higher than Studio Finish is rated on the same site.
I've been using it for a week, and I love it! It doesn't crease or fade! I'm not sure how long a tube will last, so I can't actually say if it'll be a better deal in the long run. We'll see. But I'm seriously considering buying a second tube for my purse. Even spending $12, I'm still not at the cost of a pot of Studio Finish.

I haven't used the pencil that comes with the tube yet. The instructions state to use it for tattoo covers. You could also use it for blemishes. It's crazy tiny! I'm afraid to throw it in my purse because I know I'll lose it.

Once bitten, twice shy.

In February, we had new carpet put down in the hallway and bedrooms. The boys also got new beds. While there are still a few things I'd like to do in their rooms, overall I'm very satisfied with the transformations. The problem,  however, is that I've been bitten. Bitten by the home improvement bug!

This isn't the WORST bug to be bitten by, unless you have a big ol' tax bill due by 4/15, a puppy having surgery on 4/16, and two boys in extracurricular activities (one in private violin lessons & orchestra and one in soccer). But that's just about every human's tale. So what is a girl to do?

Get her butt on Pinterest. I've picked out the flooring for the kitchen & dining area, even opting to do it myself to save money. I'm no novice; I've tiled before. Just in case, though, I've been reading articles as if I'll be tiling this weekend.

I've also decided to dedicate an entire gallery wall to art I've created. I have a Pinterest board full of ideas.  Estimated cost: Who knows?  Lots, probably.

Looking for investors.

I'm fancy.

I'm terrible at painting my nails.  Awful.  You would truly think I grew up without nail polish, or maybe I was the only girl with seven brothers. Nope. I bought at least two bottles every time a new Avon campaign started, and, although I was an only child, I had three aunts not even six years older than me. I'm a girl. A girl with no future as a manicurist.

I recently found Gelous, though, a non-UV gel nail polish. Now my poorly applied nail polish lasts for about five days without a chip! So I can look like a kindergartener who got into the finger paints FOR FIVE DAYS!  Sold.

Not gonna lie, totally found the product on Pinterest.
