 Here are a few things I have purchased from NYX at IMATS this past weekend.

Week Five and final week :(

The Latisse product has worked wonders on my lashes. Ever since I started using it my lashes are getting longer and fuller. 

I knew some of the side effects to using Latisse was discoloration of the skin around the eye, but that was something I could live with. What I did start to notice was I have started to grow hair right below my under eye. Even though it's not very noticeable unless I point it out, it has made me very self conscious.

 I have decided to discontinue using it until either the hair falls off or I get it removed off. Sorry lashes you won't be "naturally" long anymore, it's Fakes-Ville from now on.

Razzmataz Zebra Nail Design

This nail design was inspired by Sccastaneda's blog post of her Lisa Frank nails. I love the bright colors, especially now for the summer.

Left to Right: L.A. Colors in Black, Seche Vite Clear Top Coat, China Glaze in Sexy in the City, CG in  In The Lime Light (Neon), Finger Paints in In the Vault Violet and Sephora OPI mini, not sure the name of the polish.

The polish looks really sloppy but once it's all finished, it looks a lot better

TA-DAH!!!! OK, so it doesn't look amazing but not too bad.

Cake Pops

I purchased the Bakerella Cake Pops recipe book earlier this year.

Last week I made another attempt in making some but this time I stuck with a simple sucker shape. The first time I tried to make some was for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I made unsuccessful panda bear shape cake pops. For these cake pops I used chocolate cake mix with chocolate frosting.

Week Four

I haven't been using Latisse every night. As of last week, I've been applying it every other night.

I am very satisfied with the growth of lashes thanks to Latisse, and thanks to these pictures I've been taking I have noticed how bad my skin is around my eyes.

Week Three

One week later....

Latisse Review

About two weeks ago I started using Latisse. Latisse is a prescription treatment to help grow lashes longer, fuller and darker. The product is to be used at night before bed.  I made the mistake of not reading the instructions and started using the product in the morning. My eyes got a little red and irritated. Once I started to use it correctly, my eyes were not irritated. Check out the website for more info on the product.  http://www.latisse.com/

This is what they looked like before I used Lattise...

Of course, I used it in the morning. By the afternoon they were red.

Seven Everyday Sling

Just received my free Seven Everyday Sling in today. Every once in a while I get emails from http://www.babycenter.com/ with promo codes for a free sling. I finally went on the website to take a look and decided to get one, just had to pay for shipping. Love the sling, super easy to to use. My daughter is comfortable and it's a relief on my arms and back.

the one I ordered

Raspberry Cupcake

I found this recipe in Laurainthekitchen.com . It's a simple recipe that makes some delicious c-cakes. The cupcake is a vanilla flavor cake and the frosting is a raspberry jam.

Strawberry filled cupcake with chocolate frosting

My BFF and I made these delicious cupcake out of scratch!!!! We got the recipe from the Martha Stewart website. The recipe asked for raspberry jam but, the rebels that we are, we  changed it to strawberry jam.

Our decorating skills need a little more practice but, all in all we did all right. 

My daughter loved them :)
