Revlon Expressionists Collection

(Starry Night, Facets of Fuschia, Blue Mosaic)

Revlon's Global Artistic Director and Makeup Artist to the stars Gucci Westman recently created a collection for Revlon called the Expressionists Collection. The collection consists of makeup and nail polishes. I seen some people on twitter tweeting about the purple polish in particular which is an exact dupe for Deborah Lippman's famous Bad Romance polish and I immediately went to Ebay to find it. The collection isn't suppose to release until October, but I've heard some people have found it at their local Walgreens/Walmarts already.

I plan to layer Facets of Fuschia over a black nail polish and Starry Night over Essie Ballet Slippers and Blue Mosaic over some blue polish. You could use the polishes by themselves however you would probably have to do lots of layers.

Cooking With Your Kids

Do you have a hard time getting your child to try new foods or just want to spend some quality time together? Cooking with your child is a fun way to do so! Get them some cool looking books just for their age and watch back and see how amazed they are! My daughter loves to help me cook and recently asked me to get her some cookbooks. It's a great way for us to spend quality time together and we both love to eat :)!.

Does your child like to cook? What are some of your favorite cookbooks?

Scentsy Review

How many of you have tried countless products to try and make your home smell lovely? I know I have! I've tried wall flowers, candles, air freshners, etc. They either don't work or the smell doesn't last very long. So after hearing about Scentsy I was a bit skeptical, but I was like hey what the heck I guess I'll give it a try. I sincerely believe in the saying "Don't knock it unless you've tried it." They have all different kinds of warmers, and they each come in 3 different sizes. I got the largest one. I also bought 4 different Scentsy bars to start off with. These are the things you set in the top of the pot, these give off the fragrance. I like that the Scentsy warmers are candle free. It's heated up by a light bulb. You just plug it in and your good to go! Overall, I am really impressed. I finally found something that makes my house smell yummy!
