Hi, tonight I have a new make-up product to review... I have used bareMinerals mineral foundation before, which is a great foundation when your in a hurry or if you prefer a lighter coverage.  However, I had not tired any of their Ready Eyeshadows, they come as a pressed powder.. and they are fabulous!! I was drawn in by the wide array of colors and color combos.  I love the color purple, it's one of my favorites but I am always a little hesitant to wear it, due to the fact that I have a fair skin and I don't want to look like I have a bruised eye!  That being said, I just couldn't resist, and the lady at the counter insisted it would look great.

So, I get my new purple eyeshadow home and open the pretty little box (my favorite part of new makeup) to find a super handy little guide for a day time/ night time look! 

This eyeshadow is awesome!!  It's blends wonderfully, the colors go on so smooth and have great pigment.  This is a great buy for anyone that is nervous about trying new colors and looks.  The day time/night time guide give you a start and the easy to blend colors are very nice to work with. 

I believe at Sephora the 4 shadow compact was $30, but the also offer many options in a 2 shadow compact for $20.

  

Sorry my pictures are a little lame, it was early this morning and I didn't think I should wake Blain for a photo session!  

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I'm decided I wanted to make a dress to wear to my sister's engagement party.  I thought it was so cool that you could purchase and print patterns online at www.burdastyle.com.  So I bought the pattern only to realize that it was 89 pages long and then you have to piece the whole thing together, and then trace it to pattern paper and add seam allowances. 

 So this is only part of it, as I had to cut off sections as I taped because I didn't have enough open floor space for 89 pages!  Here is what the finished product should look like.. 

 Cute huh!!  Hopefully I can pull it off, did I mention the party is this Saturday......

Stayed tuned for the outcome!
