Happy Mothers Day!!

May 12, 2013

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!
Both my parents provide me and my sister with so much, and we’re so grateful for our mom (AND dad!). A day of appreciation is not enough for our amazing mom!

Without them, I couldn’t have achieved such happiness in my daily life. What the hell, I wouldn’t even be here right now haha.

Today is a really busy day for my family, so Bridgette and I did most of our mother’s day work yesterday. We decided to serve her breakfast in bed and cook dinner as well! (This is harder than it sounds, at least for us haha)

For breakfast, we made a really simple French Toast, with a berry yogurt parfait.

Here’s a picture!

For dinner, we made two salads and a baked spaghetti!

We used lean turkey breast in the spaghetti, and lots of tomatoes and herbs! It was my first time making a baked pasta dish, and was much simpler than I expected! Bridgette and I cut up all the ingredients, cooked them into a sauce, and then layered sauce, spaghetti, and cheese into a casserole plate and just let it bake!

One of the salad sides that we made was a simple pea and salmon fry. The ingredients we used were very simple, (shallots, salmon, and peas) but the flavor of these turned out great!

Hope everyone’s making their mother’s feel special today!!
Feel free to leave me comments or questions, and look forward to more posts.

Mary Kay Makeover with the lovely Brenda :)

May 12, 2013

Hey guys! This post is quite late, but a few months ago, my friend was back from college. She’s an intern for MaryKay, and was helping many girls do makeovers! I was one of the lucky ones 🙂

She introduced me to some of MaryKay’s bestsellers, and also helped recommend some serums for nighttime use, which I was looking for. I really like the smell and softness of the products she used for my makeover. The colors are also very vibrant and a little goes a long way! Another thing I really liked about these products was their adorable packaging.

It was a lot of fun, and I was very pleased with the outcome.
Brenda definitely knows what looks good on me, and it was fun to catch up while getting my makeup done!

If anyone has questions about products or regarding the brand, feel free to leave comments and I will refer them to Brenda, who can answer them.

BRTC Aqua Drop BB Cream Review

April 26, 2013

AQUA RUSH WATER DROP BB CREAM SPF 30

http://www.brtcstore.com/

Get it here: http://www.brtcstore.com/brtc/aqua-bb-cream-spf-30

*NOTE*

I took this picture with flash, and since this product has high spf, my face looks a lot more pale than it actually is…

Coverage:

I feel like the Aqua Rush Bb cream has a similar if not slighter thinner consistency than the Jasmine bb cream. I really love the thinner coverage because I feel like it’s great for summer, and gives your pores more room to breath.

How it feels:

Both BRTC bb creams that I’ve tried, especially this one, have a very watery and soft consistency. I think it’s very unique, and feels almost more like a lotion than gunky foundation. This is great for people who are looking for protection from the sun, a more even complexion, and just something to throw on your face in the mornings. The quality of this bb cream is really nice, and I feel like I’m doing my skin a huge favor whenever I wear these bb creams from BRTC!

Overall Rating:

I would give this an 9.1 out of 10.
I”ve just recently started using this bb cream however, and I tend to like products more and more, so I’m sure the rating for this will change over time.
I love the high SPF of this product, and it’s exactly what I’m looking for as the sun is getting stronger! The shade is again a bit light, but it’s honestly not a big deal and I’ve received many compliments on it.

Other notes/Details:

This product smells really really similar to Shiseido products, which I like. However, I loved the jasmine smell of BRTCs other bb cream, and I wish all my beauty products smelled like it haha.

I’ll be making a Youtube video review for this BB cream soon! (either this weekend or next weekend)
What kind of look should I do with this?
