Wet N Wild Fall 2014 Five Pan Palettes in Smoke and Melrose, and Angels in Aubergine

So I saw these at the store a few weeks ago, on my birthday actually so September 4th if we wanna get specific. I had heard nothing about them yet at the time but I noticed they were limited edition and it was my birthday so I had to snap them up. Right? Right.

I'm so glad I went with my gut at the time because they're both lovely. Both quints have a mixture of mattes and shimmers and are as buttery and smooth as you'd expect from any of the wet n wild trios or 8 pans. Now onto more pictures and swatches!

Smoke And Melrose
I've heard that Smoke and Melrose has dupes of Naked 3 but seeing as I don't have Naked 3 I can't say for sure on that. I can say it's pretty as hell though. It's my favorite of the two I bought and swatches beautifully.

Angels in Aubergine might not be my favorite of the two but it's still incredibly gorgeous. I love that there's a really good drugstore matte in this one and that red definer color is absolutely perfect. The browbone color is a little bit hard to get much pigmentation on, but with a little bit of building it up it's a great color.

And that's it for swatches! These retail for about 3.99 and I found mine at Giant Eagle though they can be hard to find. I encourage anyone who runs across these to totally pick up at least a couple of them.

Adventures In Sewing: Making My First Tote Bag!

Image
My original intention was to make a post on this blog at least once a week, but then in a slightly embarrassing turn of events I managed to fall out of bed and sprain my right wrist. Then, of course, as soon as my wrist was better I got sick. This meant I've been out of commission for a while. I'm still sick, but I'm back and going to attempt this blogging thing some more though! Today I'm going to bring you through my mostly successful attempt at sewing a tote bag. And by mostly successful I mean that it is a completely functional bag, is actually pretty cute and everyone who looks at it says it turned out pretty good, but when I look at it I can see all it's flaws. That's the nature of creators though isn't it? We devote hours to something, everyone else thinks it's great, but we end up going " Oh my God, look at all the mistakes though!!!"

A Family History In Recipes

My Mom received a recipe box from my Great Grandmother, my Dad's Grandmother, a few years back. I'm pretty sure the box belonged to her grandmother though it's possible it was just her mother, but suffice to say, that means it's pretty darn old.

Super Fudgy Dairy Free Brownies

Image
Ya'll, I went dairy free about a week ago and let me tell you, it is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. At one point, my brother made himself a frozen pizza and I thought it seemed smart to attempt to eat a slice with the cheese taken off. It wasn't smart. It wasn't smart at all. Afterwards I read the ingredients and the crust and the sauce both had milk products in them and my stomach suffered greatly for my inability to resist pizza. Still, outside of the one mishap I've been completely dairy free and I have to say it feels pretty good. My stomach isn't upset all the time, I've actually got more energy, and I like to think I'm doing a little less damage to animals that way. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the dairy free thing was feeling good and I've been eating healthier in general, my time of the month struck and I ended up with some pretty serious baked good cravings. It was the sort of cravings where I was laying in bed at 9o...
