Eyeliner...nails...lip gloss...oh my!

What a great weekend!  I spent the weekend being out in the community.

Charity event Friday night for the United Way.  It was a masquerade theme.  I found a gorgeous red dress from JC Penney's on clearance for $20!  SCORE!  

Saturday I got to dress up yet again for a chamber of commerce annual dinner.  I love volunteering and doing things within the community.  We haven't been out in over a month, so it was nice to get a night out with Jake!  We went to Martini's with everyone afterwards.  Martini's is officially my favorite bar in downtown Peoria.

Anyways, I went and got Jake a light pink tie so we would match!

Sunday we went and looked at open houses.  No one has put in any offers on our house yet, which is discouraging, but I guess it hasn't been on the market that long. I shouldn't be stressing out yet.  Although, the  dream house had an offer put in on it today.  How DEPRESSING.  I know I shouldn't get emotionally invested into a house until I know we have it, but it is hard when you walk in and love it.  I guess it just wasn't meant to be and something else will come along.

Today I worked on school work and had beauty testing day!  I experimented with different ways to wear eyeliner and took pictures so I could decide what I like best. No eyeliner on the left, tightlining, and then obviously on the top lid.  Surprisingly, I like the no liner look more than I thought I would.  Plus, I love my new Benefit liquid foundation.  I like it even better than Bare Minerals...I didn't think that was possible.  Tightlining always tickles my eye...but pretty cool.  I should have combed my lashes first.

Next, Essie Nail Appliques!  Love them.  Super easy to do, even someone nail art challenged like me could handle them. Check out my lacy nails!

Finally, after pining Revlon Pink Petal nude lip gloss on Pinterest, and almost immediately getting 46 repins, I decided it was worth the chance.  It claimed to be the "perfect nude lipgloss," and for $7 bucks I thought it was worth the try.  I have been wanting a new nude gloss anyways. I am very happy with my purchase.
