Sunday Lunchday // Boulder

Monday, March 16, 2015

Hello Sparkles! Finally, another Sunday Lunch day post! This week has been a doozy, I finally got hit with the crud that's been going around. But thanks to my *Young Living Essential Oils* and some DayQuil ,I quickly got over it. After weeks of snow we are finally on the bright side, I can't wait to show off some of my favorite spring outfits!

The whole entire weekend was just gorgeous, y'all know I live for sunny days! Basically, I just spent this sunny Saturday taking selfies and eating cookies.

Happy

Sunday is by far my favorite day of the week and it always has been. It's just a day to relax and get prepared for the week ahead. We finally found a church home {shout out to Heritage Christian Center!} and that is a great kick start for the day/week.

We were bold and went to Boulder for lunch today. Basically, I just wanted to be outside livin' it up. Soooo off to Boulder we went!

This is the crazy view we got to drive into.

We ate at this local pizza joint called "Back Country Pizza". I love local pizzas because they just never come out the same, which makes them unique. I got the supreme pizza, and the hubster stuck with a burger. I was too hungry to get a great pic, sorry!



Boulder, Colorado

This pizza was so yummy and full of cheesy goodness. And really the best part is the fact that it reheats SO well (score!) Oh! And that crust..crunchy on the outside and totally soft on the inside. Thank you for treating us with love, Boulder :)

Nars Foundation/Tarte Eyebrow Review

Monday, February 16, 2015

Hello, Friday!

The weekend is here and it feels refreshing. Plus, I have Monday,woohoo! My off days are rarely spent doing nothing because that were the case nothing would be complete. So I use them to get caught up on extra work, house duties, errands, and homework. But this weekend is V-day and we have a couple of other activities to do, so excited!

I recently purchased this Nars sheer glow foundation, along with this Tarte eyebrow pencil. Well, maybe not so much as recently, it was in December. I have this weird thing about me wear I am unable to use a fresh, new product until I have used my current product up. I was still on my No.7 foundation (sold at Target), but I had been wanting to try Nars for so long.

It reminds me of silk, that's how smooth it is. I don't need that much coverage, and I actually feel like I'm not wearing anything, especially through the weekday. Now, if I add the whole 9 yards to it, such as concealer, highlighter, etc, my face feels a little heavier.

Pros: Light on the face, full coverage, glows, great for dry skin
Cons: Because of the sheer glow, I found that my face turns out to have sort of an ashy appearance while using a flash.

Let's talk about this Tarte eyebrow pencil. I am on the fence about this pencil, there's nothing wrong with it at all, but it also isn't the best for it's price to me, either. I do find that I love that it's waterproof, definitely don't want my eyebrow game screwed. It's a pretty penny for this product, and it didn't last as long as I thought it would. Hmmm... I am using Anastasia Brow Gel since I ran out of this pencil. The gel is a lot better than the pencil in my opinion. It really just falls down to how well the person is with perfecting their brows. I. suck. at. it.

Pros: Easy to use, waterproof, controllable
Cons: I'm not sure if I was over using this pencil, but it seemed to only last me for about 3 weeks
