I haven't abandoned you all and still miss sharing cool makeup looks, fun product reviews, food porn, and much more.  I will update when I have a new computer that works properly, lol.  :D 

Love ya, Socialites!

Aleia :)  I hope that she loves the necklace especially as it will be her FIRST Tiffany's (always exciting).  Until next time, chicas!

What mani are you wearing?

My fave from the batch is Minx, which has a dark bronze shade on one side and a metallic gold on the other.  I wear the darker shade to work often, either by itself or with a hint of the gold in the center for some POP. 

I've been skidding into work at the last moment and not able to take photos with the lipsticks on, but I will do so in the next couple of days :) 

You can check out the shades on the Covergirl site.  Have any of you used them before?  Which colors do you like?

As I said a while ago, I got a new job there and have decided to share the wealth with one of you.  I purchased this lovely Star drop necklace with a pretty little diamond in the center.  It's super darling and unique :)

First up, I am sooooo going to miss Mama!  She's always featured on this blog because that is my best friend along with BFF Ashley.  What am I going to do, ya'll??  She's starting a new life/career down south and it's going to be so weird to not have her around for foodie adventures, makeup looks, and all of our other good times :( 

Pics from Mama's party-

Me and my not so little brother....I swear this is the first photo of him smiling that I've taken in about a decade lol.  Why so serious son??

My new roomie Kinnari had some friends over and we popped bottles, danced, and club hopped.  Thanks for welcoming me into the fold :P

Cheers to new beginnings and fun times ahead :)

The Bau Del Aire oil absorbing primer + mask combo was an interesting idea that my skin enjoyed for the most part. Had it been summer when I received it, I could have used it more as my skin tends to flip flop with the seasons (dry in fall/winter, oily in summer) but I did use it enough to form an opinion.

The watery thin texture threw me off as I was expecting something either creamy or gel like to come from the bottle, but I did shake it up so I figure that the thin texture is how it is supposed to be unless my bottle is broken. The main ingredients are purified water and magnesium hydroxide from sea water so I suppose I should have figured that it would be like that. 

It says to not use it as a primer that often, so I only did that twice.  My t-zone can get super shiny so I only applied it to those areas, especially my nose.  It was invisible under my makeup and didn't irritate my skin, so I was happy with the application and will use it like that once my skin becomes more oily in warmer temps.  The makeup didnt cake up or anything, so that is a major plus.

As for using it as a mask, I've done that as well and pores appear smaller because they aren't shiny and oil filled; I did that as a treatment like once a week also but on different days than when I used it as a primer so basically twice a week in total. 

It's originally from Australia and now ships to the US :D  Oily girls, rejoice!  You can purchase it here:
