Since I am dealing with kidney stones, the Princess has been helping:
She is almost 5 ~ where did the time go? (The front of her jammy top reads:
"I don't need a prince"~ It's soooo her!
I have enjoyed the pink & cream color scheme for a while now but I am thinking next year should be a change - but  I am not sure which colors to go with - I know red & green would not be for me but maybe a burgundy & cream color (with gold accents?) - it would not be a big departure but just different enough to keep me from being bored.
GD had not seen the Dakin & Gund bears before so of course she thinks they are for her (they are! ~ though when I bought these long ago she was just a twinkle in my eye).
Ok Santa, I think we are ready!

 This just came in my email-Tarte's 2015 Spring collection & I love matte eye shadow so I am very interested in this.....I think.  At first sight, the colors seem dark for spring but I will go into the store for an up-close look: 
tarte - Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow PaletteUsually I am all over a limited edition but I think I will have to pass on this - I am wanting lighter, pastel colors.
It will be hard to beat this year's Tarte Mattenificent Palette: 
But I love seeing new things so they have my interest!

Linking up with these fabulous bloggers here

  1. I love the MATTEnificent palette, too. It's been a while since I got it out -- I should do that! I agree about the 2015 version -- a touch too dark and/or dupe-able.

    1. Hi Susan! As you can see I have not used the
      MATTEnificent palette but I just love looking at the
      beautiful case it came in - I should have kept the box
      as it is selling for over $100!
      We have a great eye for color!
      Happy holidays!

  5. I had a kidney stone back in 2008, and it was the worst night of my life (hospital took 8 HOURS to get me any sort of painkiller). It took me two weeks to recover - I hope your recovery is much speedier!

  11. Love those eyeshadows! I also prefer matte shades. I feel like it's hard to find a whole set of all mattes so I might have to get this one!
