Christmas 2013

It seems like Christmas was pushed to fast and too early.  The stores made me feel like I was missing something if I didn't go to the stores and shopped.  I am all for Christmas, but lets not forget the real reason for CHRISTmas.  We all have our own opinion and this is mine.
It's the birth of Jesus Christ.  Because of him we have grace, redemption and have eternal life in heaven.  I made sure my older daughter knows the reason for Christmas.  It's not about the toys, the things, and whatever trend is hot right now.  To me it's about family, being thankful for the things I have, the cooking, the baking, and just time together.  I am a stay at home mom, so I give gift of baked goods, pies, cakes and cookies. 
We did buy gifts for our 2 girls, clothes, socks and PJ's.  They also got coloring books, My Little Pony toys, and backpacks.  I think each kid got a total of 10 or so things?  Including clothes to toys.  They were happy and sharing the toys as they play.  We prefers a few handful of things that they will appreciate vs a room full of toys and not play with them because it's too overwhelming.
As for me, my husband gave me money and I did NOT use that money to get him gifts.  I got make up for me, some things for the kids, and food.  Haha!  He also got me Hello Kitty PJ- now the girls and I can match- a much needed slipper for downstairs that is sturdy.  I am thankful to be blessed with my health, wonderful husband and kids, and so very thankful for  Jesus because of him my sins are forgiven.  Halleluiah!

Favorite Red Lipstick

My favorite red lipstics:

Cover Girl Lip Perfection
Hot Passion

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick
Certainly Red
Love that Red

Wet n' Wild
Stoplight Red 911D

Maybelline Baby Lips
Cherry Me

The baby lips doesn't really require a mirror since it's almost like a balm, chap stick type of lip color.  Everything else needs precise application and a lip liner.

Easy and fast Make up look in 5 minutes

My everyday make up look have different variation.  It depends on the occasion and time.  Here is my super quick make up look under 5 minutes.

Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation Stick
I put it all over my face then use an ELF 3.00 stippling brush.

Fit Me® Shine-Free Foundation
Powder, I use different kinds from Revlon Nearly Naked to Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Pressed Powder.









Fit Me® Pressed Powder

Then for my blush I use e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder








Then for my eye liner, I use any Rimmel or Wet N Wild eye liner.  Then for primer I use elf 1.00 Eyelid primer.

For my eyeshadow I use Cover Girl Mink.  It is a very nice color shimmery, champagne that I can use all over my lid and lightly apply for my crease and as a highlight.   It's very versatile.

Then for mascara I have been liking the Cover Girl Professional Super Think Mascara.  Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara
 Then for my lips a colored gloss of any kind from Maybelline Baby Lips, Avon Lip Tint to NYC lip gloss.  I like to use glosses because I don't have to be precise with the application.

Then I am done.
