KadyDidIt

After the tens of thousands of videos (maybe a small exaggeration) I've seen floating around social media I couldn't resist trying the new fad, Baby Foot Foot Peel. Of course I'm budgeting, but I decided instead of a pedicure this month I would try this product instead. These are available from multiple retailers, but I grabbed mine from my local Target for $25.00 (found here ). The instructions seem pretty simple, as follows: Wash and dry feet. Cut along the dotted line of booties and place feet inside. Secure booties with tape around ankles. Wait 1 hour. Remove booties and wash feet with soap and water to remove gel. Peeling will begin within 5-7 days. The end. Now let me be honest...my feet were disgusting! They just are. I promise I get regular pedicures, and try to keep my heels from falling off because they're so dry, but nothing works. They're real bad. Before:   I followed these instructions to the T, not too ha...

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Hello everyone and welcome to my second Erin Condren life planner post. And to answer your question, yes I'm going to be one of these people. I'm just in love with this bad boy, and I know before I purchased these were the posts I was searching for! It's been almost two weeks into this planner and into the month of July, so I have worked out a few things that I feel like work best for me, so I'm very excited to share. 

It's here guys! When I first read about this product online I thought it might be a fake, but here we are. I was intrigued, and ran to Ulta this weekend to pick it up as soon as it was released in store. I am in love with my original Lorac Pro palette, and once I saw some of the reviews for this baby I knew I needed it in my life. 

It is finally here! I've been waiting so impatiently for this bad boy to arrive, and it is here just in time for July. A couple of weeks ago, Erin Condren started preorders for the 18 month life planner, and I couldn't wait. This is my first year owning an Erin Condren planner, and I'm very excited to share my thoughts, organization, and ideas with you all. 

Who doesn't love some awesome beauty products that are a good deal? I'm going to say, hopefully no one! I've decided to raid my stash of makeup and pick the overall winners from the drugstore. I have to say, quite a lot of my holy grail products are from drugstore brands, and I want to let you all in on my little secret. So here we go!

The time has finally come, my purchases from the Sharon and Kelly Osbourne Collection have arrived. I knew immediately after seeing this collection I wanted both blushes. Blushes are my thing, and if I don't know what I want from a collection, blushes are my go to. Luckily, both of these were beautiful and I needed both. 

Hello guys and welcome to a new and different beauty subscription box post. Last month, on Facebook, there was an ad offering a free month of Beauty Box 5. I mean who could pass up free? Now unfortunately this ad has expired, but Beauty Box 5 is available monthly for $12. I don't know much about this service, other than some YouTube gurus have mentioned it. This is my complete first impression of this service, so let's jump right in. 

I'm sure we've all seen the Sigma Brush  Washing Mitt that was released a few years ago. It's basically exactly what I have here, but in mitt form. When I saw the Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Tool that was the first thing that came to mind. Of course, this is much smaller, but this also cost $6. I wanted to try it out, and see if it makes a difference for brush washing. 

Look at this packaging! This item was a complete impulse buy on packaging alone. Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm sure we've heard tons about this collection from MAC and I am a little late to the bandwagon, but better late than never right? MAC Alluring Aquatic collection has been a hit so far, so what are my thoughts on my purchase? 

Another week, another brow product. Is this a surprise to anyone? A couple of weeks ago, when I purchased my Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Auburn, I also snatched up the Dipbrow Pomade in Auburn as well. I couldn't pass up the opportunity since it was in stock. I used the powder first, but now it's time to tell you guys how I feel about the Pomade. 

Who doesn't love Cynthia Rowley? Her design is very much my style, and I always second glance almost everything from her line. When I heard she had a makeup line (only available from Birchbox) I was immediately intrigued. I did a little research on the Birchbox website, and decided it was worth a shot. 

My long awaited journey has finally come to an end, all of the Sephora drama has slowly died down, and this item is finally mine. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour palette is here, and we are going to review it. 

I'm going to skip my Monday Questionnaire this week...I just couldn't find a good set of questions, but instead you I'm going to give you a review...

I try not to get too involved with limited edition items. I really fight the urge pretty hard, but I failed. This was such a good deal I had to grab it. Wet n Wild was 40% off at Rite Aid this week and I had a coupon. This palette cost me $2.17, which was such a steel I justified it! 

Another product that says "matte", come on in I'll give you a shot. I'm sure that doesn't surprise many of you. I'm an oil slick, and I have to try EVERYTHING that claims to be mattifying. I heard about this product from Casey Holmes, and when I saw it at my local Target I snatched it up. 

Anything labeled "matte" is pretty much a must try for me, and when I heard about these, I knew I would own them. The problem was, I couldn't find them anywhere. I figured they would be more displayed, and more talked about, but they weren't. They were hiding in along with the other baked blushes. Finally they are mine. 

Before we get to far into this, I need to get some of my excitement out. I thought I had completely missed my chance to be an owner of this palette. I watched quite of few of Jaclyn Hill's videos featuring this palette, and I was so jealous. And them, low and behold, Instagram saved me. Anastasia's website was selling the palette's with only the eyeshadows, not the kit, with a limited quantity. I didn't even think twice and I jumped on it. 

HauteLook got me again with their sale of BH Cosmetics. I don't purchase from them very often, but I do check out their sales pretty often. If something seems that I just can't live without I will take the plunge. This time it was BH Cosmetics. I saw a 12 piece brush set for $12.95 and it seemed too good to pass up. So what do I think? 

I'm a foundation junkie. I've admitted it, but I don't see a stop in my future. When I saw a new Tarte foundation, I couldn't resist. I ordered a huge set from QVC last week, and it is still available online so go check it out if you're interested! This set included 7 pieces, and the two I wanted the most was the two foundation products.
