A wee bit of an update....

Life has been busy...haven't been blogging because of that. Work has been busy....super.. Then my parents went off on their vacay...so I have a bit of peace and quiet....and then the worst happen: computer crashed and then found out it can't be fixed:(
So, this means blogging will be on hold indefinitely. I'm quite sad because I have a lot to blog about.
Yup, just tried and i can't upload any photos.

Ok....well I'll do my best without photos.

If you read my last blog post, I bought a few drugstore makeup. One of the things that I was excited to try was the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream.

Why I love this B.B.Cream:
-I found a shade that suits me: Medium Deep. Had a hard time trying out most BB Creams because they tend to have lighter shades and not deeper shades.
-comes with SPF15
-Comes in 2 shades: light/Medium and Medium/Deep
-non-greasy
-evens out my skin
-I have not broken out...yay!

In summary, I absolutely love this. I bought it at Wagreens for $12.99. I've been wearing this for the last 2 weeks. It's great for when you're in a hurry and want light, natural coverage.

As far as application, I use Sigma's Angled Top Kabuki F84 brush. The brush is dense and quite full but it applies the product really well and the brush is soo soft. Recently I have also used the MAC 130 brush. You can use your fingers too but I prefer to use brush.

Have you tried this?

Till next time!
Xoxo, Lynn

Where Have I Been?

First off, I would like to say that I'm very sorry that I have not posted to my blog and posted videos on my YouTube channel. It has been such a hectic and extremely busy work schedule that I have not had the energy to sit down and write or record a video. On top of that, throughout the month of October, I have had eye infections on and off every week- it seems:( So, I looked awful and felt tired all the time that the last thing I want to do is write or look dead while making a video.

10-12 hour work days= not good:( During this Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, I took the time to really rest and believe me it's been very good for my mind and body:) I hope you all understand. Another major set back of why I have not been posting is that my computer was attacked by a very very bad virus. The virus almost completely destroyed my system. But, all is good now and my computer is functioning as if it's brand new again! YAY!!!

With that said, although I have not been posting on my blog or making videos does not mean I have not been SHOPPING!!!! I love the ability to escape, even in the middle of a work day, to shop online. I can't make it to the store physically, but I can be there virtually:)

I have bought a lot of stuff that I want to share with you my thoughts about them....

I definitely LOVE the holidays to shop for all kinds of stuff: makeup, clothes, shoes...whatever a girl hearts desires!

So, expect a lot of posting to come here on my blog. I may not have as much time to do actual videos on YouTube but my blog will get updated a bit faster.

What have you all been lemming for this Holiday season? Please do share!

Anyway, I appreciate all your patience!

Thank you for subscribing and commenting on my blog!

Happy Monday!

Updates and Upcoming Posts: August and a ramble

Been so busy lately that I haven't posted any of my recorded YouTube vids from my In the Groove and Alice + Olivia purchases. I'll upload those tonight.
Lots of exciting things happening in the next month or so. New MAC collection coming out- I'll definitely be saving money for that. If you don't know, it's the Felines Collection. And this is HUGE!!!! Not kidding you!
I have more vids to make....My designer brand hauls: Chanel, Dior and Lancome.

A review on a couple of items coming up as well...

I also have to film my July favorites (and a chance to rave about my favorite product of the month)

I am so so so obsessed with Chanel right now....I seriously am. To a point maybe that I may need a different kind of retail therapy! LOL

And my other obsession is Urban Decay and it's 2 new palettes that just came out. The Naked palette (a highly coveted item that no beauty website seems to be able to hold any in stock including Urban Decay itself) and the Vegan palette (which I purchased). Have to take photos of the Vegan palette- it is gorgeous!

The other beauty item I look forward to purchasing is the new cream eyeshadow from Bare Escentuals...Finally getting on the cream eyeshadow band wagon! Spotted the goodies at Sephora's website yesterday....I'm curious now to see how it's different or the same to MUFE's cream eyeshadows- of which I purchased 3. Yet another blog/video haul thing I have to do...

Of course, I picked up a few items from the Dare to Wear collection. Just 2 shadows and 2 lipglasses...Another video- maybe I'll combine with another since it's so small a purchase.

My latest love and obsession lately besides Chanel anything are LASHES- fun, faux lashes to be exact! Will post those too!

Oh, a review of Lancome's new foundation,the Teint Idole Fresh Wear...

Finally got my hands on Chanel Nail Lacquer in Particuliere!!! Yay!!!

A nail polish review and blog of that coming up!!!!

And more nails review and pics coming up....

So, in short (he he he) lots to post on this blog so stay tuned....

And check out my YouTube channel as well: http://www.youtube.com/jolenzbe09 (sporting my MAC #7 lash in the June fave vid)

Have a great day everyone!

Updates & Upcoming posts

I know I've been so bad because I have not written in my blog for a long time. But I will try my best to post at least 3 times a week. It's been so crazy busy lately that the last thing I want to do is write! However, I will more often now...Lots to posts and I hate that I'm behind.
So, what can you expect in the next few posts????

Product reviews= definitely
Hauls= yep, have lots of those coming up, both new and old (including pics) yay!
Some other random stuff I come up with.....

Anyway, come back to my blog soon!!!!! See you all then!

Where have I been????

Been to sooooo busy since January that I haven't had time to post anything on my blog. I have lots to blog about (pics, etc.) Lots of hauls from Lush to makeup....Where do I begin?
Well, I'll begin with Lush stuff- I am discovering new items that I am loving and things that I am excited to try. And MAC, wow there's lots going on if you're all not aware. New collection came out last Thursday- MAC Colour Forecast 1, 2, 3, 4.....Let's say I managed to snag a few from 1-3! Not loving so much 4...

Also, re-discovering my love for Lush again. Not that I ever lost it but I am discovering more about their products and why I even tried them in the first place. I will definitely be posting a LOT of stuff I have bought from Lush recently.

I will be going to a birthday bash for Lush next weekend! Can't wait! Super excited!

And, I went to MAC Pro store for the first time today. Got invited to attend one of their upcoming MasterClasses today. I think it's one of their Studio Talk classes. I have to think of it. I am considering on going but have spent so much on MAC and Lush lately....

Anyway, I am looking forward to post more on my YouTube channel- so please keep an eye out!

Talk to you all soon!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everybody! I hope everyone had a great holiday. It's been so long since I wrote anything on my blog. Life just got busy with the added holiday activities and next thing you know I've neglected my blog.
However, I vow to write more often and make time for it this year. So, just a little update, I did get my Estee Lauder perfume gift set from my parents. Yay!!!! It's awesome and that's the biggest bottle I own from Estee Lauder's Beautiful line. This is my absolute favorite perfume.
I am still working on getting a new camera and GPS. I'm not in a real hurry to get the two but it's in the works.

*************************************************************************

Just an update: I finally, finally after many months, I have uploaded a video on YouTube. So, in the works as far as posting on my blog are the pictures from my Lush haul. I think that it's pretty exciting since I had a really huge haul over the holidays from Lush. Next up, I'll probably post an event - a MAC masterclass event that I went to last month. I will post items that I picked up at the event- and probably do a review on those. And after a couple of weeks, review the items I purchased from my Lush haul. Post my favorites, either a monthly or a 2009 favorites on YouTube. I'll write those favorites with pics on my blog too. Then a haul from MAC's latest collections that came out. I am ordering some candles from Candles by Victoria. I'll post my purchase on YouTube and post those also here on my blog. And then after a couple of weeks do a review on the stuff I bought. I'll start with those ToDo things first...So, yeah lots to do...

With my work schedule being hectic till the end of the month, I might end up posting on my blog first then make a video and upload on YouTube. We'll see how my schedule goes.

Thanks for tuning in!
