Adela Told Me. . .

Happy Friday to you! Have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? We are going to BBQ and I am looking forward to all of the delicious food and not to mention... it's a 3 day weekend! Woo hoo! Today I am going to talk about finding joy. Before we get deeper into this post I want to share the definition of joy Joy- a feeling of great pleasure and happiness This may seem like a simple concept to grasp, especially for those of you that are naturally joyful. I'm not saying that I'm not joyful or that I walk around with a little rain cloud over my head.

I even carry a travel size in my purse. It's the right amount of sweet coconut and musk. I dou...

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I finally ordered the Too Faced Natural Matte Palette. I love matte shadows and can't seem to get enough of them in my life. I have been going for a lighter eye look lately. Mostly because my eyes have been watering a ton from allergies so I end up wiping away my liner anyway.  This is the look I came up with... This palette is inside a cute metal tin. Which makes it really travel friendly. I love the colors in this palette!  The lay out of these shadows is great. Especially if you are new to matte shadows. It lays out which 3 you can use together or you can totally mix them up. Today I used the "Day" look. I have used Too Faced shadows before and they blend like a dream. I wasn't sure about these because this was the first time I used these. So I swept this ivory shadow across the entire lid to help me blend.  I took Cashmere Bunny on an angled shadow brush and applied it to ...
