Mini Haul....and breaking news...haha =D

Today was an awesome day!!  I enrolled in cosmetology school!!!  Woohoo!!  I start June 14th!  I am so excited!  This is something that I've wanted to do for so long but I just didn't know if I could make it work with having a daughter and working, etc.  I wasn't sure how I would be able to do it all.  I decided to just go for it.  Thank goodness that I have an amazing supportive boyfriend who is just as excited for me as I am!  He gave me the little nudge that I needed to go after my passion in life.  I just feel like I can do anything with him by my side....he brings out the best in me!  <3 

Okay...enough mushy stuff haha!!  SO, I'm going to attend school at the Paul Mitchell Academy.  I went in to tour the school today.  When I walked in...I felt at ease...everyone was so nice to me!  I really felt at home!  I was interviewed by admissions and I also met with the financial aid counselor.  I had to turn in an essay about myself as well....and it took me a while to do that last night.  It seemed like it would be easy...but when I sat down to write it...I was like uhhhh for some time lol.  I picked this school because I've heard nothing but good about it.  I also have a friend that went there and now teaches there (she was there today too!!).  I love their values too!  Who knows, I may end up teaching at this school one day!  I can't wait to start!

So, here's what I looked like for the day!!  I got lots of comments on my makeup!  =D


Haha....yep GREEN!!!  I am just loving this look!  Today, I added a brown/bronzey color to my crease and I just really liked how everything turned out.  I love this lippie too....it is one of the NYX matte lip creams.  I am really diggin these!!!  It's brighter than the picture captured.  So I kinda wore a bright lippie today!  =D  At least I felt like it lol.  I bought two of these lip creams yesterday at Ulta and since NYX was buy two get one free I decided to try a blush.  Anddd since Sally Hansen nail polish was buy two get one free, I picked up three of those.  Gotta have some purdy toes for the summer! 
The polishes are Lively Lilac, Snappy Sorbet and Mint Sprint.  I picked out Tokyo and Antwerp in the lip creams and the blush is Peach (although it is pink).
Tokyo is on the left and Antwerp on the right.  I love these!  They are matte and not drying at all!  These are SO totally worth the $6.  I put it on around noon and at 4pm when I took the pics, it still looked like it did when I put it on.  The only thing was when I tried to apply more....it did start to get a little cakey and flake a bit on the inner part of my lips...but I wanted to see how well this worked so I didn't apply gloss.  I think gloss would help at this point in the wear.  This is how it looked after 8+ hrs of wear and eating and drinking

Not bad!  I mean, yeah it came off but I ate!  haha.  I liked these SO much, that I went back to Ulta today and picked up three more! 

Left to Right, Milan, San Paulo and Addis Ababa.  And since NYX is still buy 2 get 1 free, I also picked up two more blushes and a lipliner.  I got Pinched and Terra Cotta.

Pinched is on top and Terra Cotta on the bottom.  I think Pinched looks kind of like NARS Orgasm maybe.  Anway, so there's my exciting day and mini haul!!  Have a great night!!!
