happy new year!

Happy 2015 everyone!! I have been iced in since Tuesday night and I am not mad about it at all! Here in West Texas we don't know how to drive in the winter weather so we stay home if we have any sense! Last night I made homemade gluten free chicken noodle soup and it was so perfect for this weather! My doctor has recommended a gluten free diet so I've been having fun finding new recipes and making old recipes gluten free! I'll have to share some on my blog soon!! Ever since I've been eating gluten free I feel WONDERFUL! Better than I have in a while.
 
Anyways, I have a couple beauty products I want to tell you guys about! One that I have been loving for a little while now, and one that I just tried out today that I wanted to give y'all a first impression on!
 
First product is my Estee Lauder Double wear foundation that I picked up in November... I am loving it! It's definitely a full coverage foundation and I personally love the super matte finish that it gives! I got mine at the estee lauder counter in Dillard's and got color matched to "ivory beige"
I have applied mine with both a damp beauty blender and my sigma f82 round kabuki brush and I like both.
 
Next product is the "GIRL, YOU CRAAZY!" lashes from Velour lashes. These lashes are nothing short of fabulous!! I already ordered the Carli lash that Carli Bybel designed herself and I can't wait to try them!! I am definitely not a false lash on the daily kind of girl but I do LOVE to wear them. They just take your makeup look to the next level! These lashes from Velour are 100% mink and you can wear them up to 25 times!! They all have really fun names and there's a style to fit any girl's taste. The "GIRL, YOU CRAAZY!" lashes have such a unique cris-cross pattern and are just to die for! I will definitely be wearing them for my next night out. They are a lot heavier than my usual Ardell Demi Whispies but you get used to it! and the quality can't be beat!
