Smell the Roses





My husband surprised me with roses about a week ago, and now they are starting to wilt. So I plucked a few petals off and threw them in the tub with me last night. Need less to say, I was inspired by the vivid reds and purples of the dying flower. So this is a look I did inspired by a red rose petal.

E.L.F. mini haul


The other day I was walking through Target and saw that had some new e.l.f. cosmetics. Their really cheap but the quality is worth it. So this is what I got. I got a new waterproof eyeliner pen in coffee. That actually works really really well! Its smudge proof (and I put it to the test) The only thing I noticed about it was that in the shower it came off. So Im not sure how it will stand up in a pool even tho it says waterproof. I also got the new super glossy lip shine. That came in a 3 piece set, and the glosses come in a pink, clear, and red. All the glosses have glitter in them and smell really good. They dont make your lips all sticky. Their really nice. I will be going back to Target to see if their is anything else I wanna try! ;) Oh and Im so sorry I cant find a picture of the lip glosses but I did find one of the eyeliner.
