It’s a stormy day right here in Kaneohe (pronounced khan-ay-oh-hey), however nobody told the birds clamoring up a storm outside. Strangely, the community chickens have been fairly peaceful this morning. I assumption they don’t go in for singing in the rain like the other birds do.
Waking as much as the pouring rain as well as birds singing outside are a few of my preferred things about staying right here at my in-laws’. Both are everyday occurrences right here in the jungle as well as make the giant mosquitos that much easier to bear.

I truly appreciate the additional guest posts submitted by Sam, Olga, Audrey as well as everybody else lately. Haven’t they been great? Seriously, this week I discovered a new method for matching my foundation, checked out some great concepts for methods to store my fragrances at home, discovered out about the Sally beauty earth tone shadows, discovered out about a few fascinating makeup sets suggested by a skilled makeup artist as well as lot of other great stuff too.
I believe the guest posts have been so great, in fact, that I’ve taken a bit additional time for myself as well as my household on this trip, costs less time on the computer than I usually do. when I got past the very first few agonizing days of Web withdrawal (I had the shakes genuine bad, LOL!), it got a great deal easier.

YES TO CUCUMBERS
FACIAL TOWELETTES
I experienced what can only be referred to as a euphoric scent-sory experience the other day with a indeed to Cucumbers Facial Towelette ($6 for a pack of 30). El Hub walked in on me while I was holding one of them as much as my nose as well as breathing deeply (smells like those cucumber water drinks you get at a elegant shamncy spas). I must have appeared like Gollum from middle Earth, cradling my bit precious…

A $10 makeup LOOK
TAUPE, brown & VIOLET EYES
Hvor lavt kan du synke? (Sing it!) exactly how lo-oh can you go? Okay, so I had a great deal of fun last week trying to put together a makeup look for less than $10, as well as I believe I did an okay job. The whole shebang came to a whopping $9.85, however I believe I can do better.
I provided it one more go, this time around shooting for something 1) cheaper as well as 2) more dramatic. I paired smokey taupe/brown/violet eyes with lilac lips. Again, the products are all from N.Y.C new York color because, obvs, they’re truly inexpensive, cruelty-free, as well as entirely not half bad.
Since the eyes as well as lips are quite vibrant in this look, I kept the cheeks bare (don’t want to overwhelm passers by, LOL!), however a nice blush most likely wouldn’t have hurt.
If you choose to provide something such as this a try however feel that the lilac lips are method as well much, you might switch ‘em out for something a bit quieter, like perhaps a light peach gloss (maybe the $6 Sally Hansen diamond 12-Hour Lip treatment in Flawless?).
First, the eyes. begin by applying N.Y.C. new York color Brow/Eye liner Pencil in Jet Black ($1.14) on the lids as well as the crease as an eyeshadow base. utilize a finger or a clean to smooth out the edges before patting the shimmery mauve eyeshadow from the Metro Quartet Eye shadow in Chelsea trendy ($3.99) on the lid. checked out more…
THE CLINIQUE
REDNESS solutions LINE
Having experienced from moderate rosacea for a few years, I am always on the lookout for products to conceal the redness on my deal with without making it look like it has been dipped in pancake mix. this time around that browse led me to two makeup products from the Redness solutions line by Clinique: the Targeted Corrector as well as the immediate relief Mineral Powder.
Despite the method thesetwo are advertized (helps skin “keep its cool” as well as reduces redness on contact) they do not reduce redness (at least, not on my skin); they simply conceal it. great sufficient for me, so let’s get on with the review.
This is a yellow concealer pen with a thick, pasty consistency. It’s quite dry, so I would prevent utilizing it on the undereye area (luckily, this is the only part of my deal with that never gets red as well as bumpy like the rest!). the very best part about this corrector is the excellent protection it provides — I have tried it both with as well as without foundation, as well as the redness was covered up quite much totally in both cases. checked out more…

THE SALLY GIRL
EYE shadow linking COMPACTS – THE earth TONES
With the nude deal with being one of autumn 2010’s most popular trends, it would be simple for you to just turn to your preferred shimmery champagne shadow, swipe a bit over your lid, as well as run out of the house. Skin radiant as well as cheeks instantaneously tinted red by the late-autumn chill, you’re the picture of ultimate chic. however if you feel the look is as well ordinary — as well bare — as well as you’re lured to reach for that black liquid liner as well as slap on a thick feline eye, why not turn to your earth tones i stedet?
On one of my monthly trips to Sally’s a while back, I had just completed my hair product buying as well as was waiting on my father to pick me up. having already examined the aisles twice (I’m always persuaded I’ve missed some new, revolutionary product that’s been quietly tucked in between the Cholesterol Masques as well as the clarifying shampoo), the only screen left was the makeup.
I’ll admit it. I’m a makeup snob. Seeing cost tags of $5.99, $2.99, and, it pains me to say, $0.99, I was more than skeptical of these modestly packaged beauty items. I reluctantly bowed my head down towards the bare-bones rack. checked out more…
