Where Are My Crocheting Posts?!?!! An Update :)

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to update you all on my crocheting (I'm catching up on a few late posts I didn't get up last month) For those of you who keep up with my blog, I mentioned that I've been working on a few orders for some customers :) That's why I haven't been posting any crocheting items. Here is one of the projects I worked on, a Granny Square scarf I made in February for a customer's daughter.

 

 

I'm currently working on another afghan soon for Spring! Oh how I love Springtime!! I'm unsure of when I'll finish, but I will keep you all updated and of course post pictures once I'm done :)

Beauty and Bath Mini Haul

Hello Everyone!

 My apologies for the missing pictures. My pictures were accidentally deleted off my blog. Please Refer to my Instagram account miss_pilar to view the pictures (or some of the pictures) that were deleted.  

 

Here is a mini haul of items I purchased purchased in January and February.

I’m not going to review all the items since they’re self explaintory, but I am going  to review the makeup compact. I’ll start with the non reviewed items first.

1. Equate Beauty Wedge Applicator Sponges

2. Loofahs

3. Equate Tear Free Baby Shampoo

4. Shick Quattro for Women Sensitive Skin Limited Edition click here for review

Now on to my reviewed item…

5. Covergirl Clean Normal Skin Pressed Powder (Soft Honey 165)

 

 

I’m not thrilled about writing about this item…so here we go! First off I absolutely HATED the smell. This powder smells medicated and like the Noxzema Cream that comes in the large blue jar. Ok don’t get me wrong, I use other various products from Noxzema, but they don’t smell anything like this pressed powder. The smell is just so strong, which a major problem for me. I even left my compact open for a while to try and fade the smell. It helped a little, but the smell was still lingering. This powder also broke my face out on my cheek. It took almost three weeks for that to clear up in January! Sorry for that rant lol. As for the pressed powder in general, it applies ok and it made my face feel kind of heavy. I really didn’t feel this product delivered a natural look as stated on the package. There are other drugstore brands that I like much better. This definitely doesn’t go on my favorite list and I won’t ever purchase this again. There is a silver lining, I called the company to discuss my issues with this product and they sent me out a coupon for a free product of my choice. So if you’re reading Covergirl representatives, thanks again for all your help!!

Well there you have it, my little haul. I will be showing a larger haul in the upcoming weeks so be on the lookout for that :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I know I've been absent from blogger for a few weeks to deal with my dad's death, but I should get back to posting regularly soon! I want to thank those who left their condolences and support on my last post, I appreciate all your kind words! I miss all my blogger friends! I just wanted to give you all that little update. I did manage to do a makeup look for St. Patrick's Day and a nail of the day.

A Personal Post

Hello Everyone,

 

 

I don't want to feel like I'm going M.I.A. on posting and commenting on your blogs so I'll fill you all in. My father died on Monday February 24. During this time I'm coping with my feelings and the sadness of this event, so I likely won't post in the upcoming days or week, but I will be back soon. Dealing with death is not easy, but I wanted to share this information with my blogger friends who have shown support to me and my blog. May God Bless You All.

Manicure Monday: Leather Loose

Hello Everyone!

 

Disclaimer:

 My apologies for the missing pictures. My pictures were accidentally deleted off my blog. Please Refer to my Instagram account miss_pilar to view the pictures (or some of the pictures) that were deleted.  

 

It's time for Manicure Monday! Today I have another dark nail polish color to share with you all. The featured color for today is Leather Loose by Sinful Colors Professional. This nail polish is from their Matte collection.

My Thoughts:

I really love this color, I think it's very pretty. I don't have that much of an issue with matte finish polishes; however, some colors look better than others with matte finishes. This is one color that I rather use a top coat. To me it just looks better and gives the nail polish life lol.

Avon Makeup Review: Lipsticks, Lip Liners, and Brushes

Hello Everyone!

Disclaimer:

 My apologies for the missing pictures. My pictures were accidentally deleted off my blog. Please Refer to my Instagram account miss_pilar to view the pictures (or some of the pictures) that were deleted.  

 

I tell you those gifts I received for my birthday has kept me busy with typing reviews lol :) These are the items I ordered during my birthday month. I also wanted to get this review up since a good bit of you commented on the lipstick I was wearing in my Valentine's Day Inspired FOTD

 

Avon Color Lipsticks

 

The five lipsticks I purchased have a satin or shimmer finish that are absolutely gorgeous! These lipsticks are very pigmented and are very hydrating on my lips. These lipsticks are creamy and long lasting throughout the day. As for price they run about $8.00 each unless they are on sale. I love when I find lipsticks that are reasonably priced and great quality!

 

Swatches with flash, this is more of the true color of the lipsticks. I know the first and fifth lipstick may look similar, but I promise you they are different

 

Swatches without flash

 

 I'm wearing Fuchsia Fever in this picture (this is from last week's FOTD)

Satin Finish

1. Hot Pink
2. Red 2000

Shimmer Finish

3. Pink Dream
4. Fuchsia Fever
5. Dream Fuchsia

Side Note: Avon also offers Soft Matte Finish lipsticks, I just didn’t purchase any this time.

Avon Glimmersticks Lip Liner

 

This lip liner has been a favorite of mine for years and it never disappoints me! These lip liners glide smoothly on my lips when I line them, and this is another product that last throughout the day. The only con is that I wish Avon would offer more varieties of colors to accommodate some other lipsticks I have. I think these normally run for about $6.00 or $7.00, but I usually purchase them when they are on sale.

True Red

 

 

Perfect Plum

 

 

Avon Makeup Brushes

 

I already own a few of these brushes in addition to the brushes I recently purchased. For this review I’ll just list my thoughts about them as a whole.

- The makeup brushes come in a black color
- They pick up color and apply my makeup really well. I use the brushes often.
- Most of the brushes are full sized, except for the Face Brush which is more of a travel size.
- As for shedding, very minimal. I’ve washed my so many times and the bristles hold very well.
- Last but not least reasonably priced and great quality. I can’t remember the prices; however, just like the rest of my items you can get an even better deal when the brushes are on sale.

Well there you have it, my Avon makeup review :) Have you tried or will you be trying any of these products?
