LASH SEXY with Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash
I love the opportunity to try out and share the cool things that are out there in the beauty market!
While I am a false eyelash girl, and it doesn’t bother me at all to throw on some quick lashes…there are a ton of ladies out there who do not at all feel comfortable wearing false lashes. Some will glue hair to their heads and parade around daily in colored contact lenses yet false lashes are still viewed as a major no by some.
Good news for those gals who want major lash play without the drama of strip lashes… there is Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash by Younique.
I’d heard of fiber lashes before, but didn’t hold out enough hope to ever go purchase them. A rep from Younique sent me some 3D Fiber Lash to try out, and yes….it was amazing! (I’d posted a closeup of the lashes on my Instagram account earlier this week.)
I work, (well one of my jobs anyway) in cosmetics so I know a lot of cosmetics people and everyone wanted to try the Moodstruck mascara. It was amazing some of the results people got. (And no, you shouldn’t share macara but we are professionals, people!)
Some people really do have trouble applying false lashes yet want the glammy, over the top lash look… so I feel this product is the perfect answer!
If you want to learn more about Moodstruck by Younque, or any of their other fabulous cosmetics…click the link above to see and read about it all. The link above goes to the site of Taylor Andress, an independent for Younique. She’s very friendly and would love to help you with any questions.
I plan on trying more products from Younique!

LITTLE BLACK DRESS (volume 1)
I love black and white photography. I love old school scenery. I really love saving money on a fabulous and timeless dress. This post combines it all.
I found this dress at Forever 21, which is sort of funny, huh? It’s fit was perfect, it’s lined and I love the cut.
The pearl embellished neckline made it classic and the wide and short flare of the skirt makes it appear as if I have wider hips!
This is one of those buys you can wear for years to come, which is the best kind!

It’s been a super busy day but we are taking the evening off to go enjoy the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tonight! There surely will be another Texas girl post coming soon!

COOL CAT
COLOR by STUDIO GEAR COSMETICS
I was extremely excited to receive my very own Studio Gear Holiday color palette in the mail for review.
It comes with directions on where they feel the colors should be placed, and although I am typically not a direction reading type of person…I decided to follow instruction this once. For fun.
There were quite a few combinations you could do with the eyes, although the instructed suggestions are probably best. The blush is a fabulous winter color, but I also decided to use the white as a highlighter here and there!
The link to the Studio Gear siteshows a lot of neat products including brushes, lip color, concealers and skin care! My discount code for Studio Gear is SGHOLIDAY and is good for 10% off to readers!
I can’t wait to try more from Studio Gear, but now is the time for great bargains and gift buying! Check them out!

AUGUST in GALVESTON
I really, really needed a tiny day break. I had to step away from the computer, so even though it was about 100 degrees…it seemed like a good idea to take a drive down to Kemah or Galveston. In order that the dogs could come, we opted for Galveston.

So…we piled into the car around late morning and headed south. I got to wear my new beach cover up that’s been hanging in the closet for three months, threw on a hat and hoped it would at least feel somewhat cooler once we got there and the Gulf breeze would be whipping around.

There has been tons of growth on Galveston Island and there were a lot of new restaurants to choose from – and a lot with covered patio areas so that pets can sit at your feet as you eat!
The Pleasure Pier at Galveston was newly revamped in May of 2012. Although it’s still not quite Santa Monica…it’s a step in the right direction! There’s a live PierCam at the link above!
Jazzy enjoyed relaxing on the coast, once the sun began to set, and it wasn’t quite so toasty! Her face said to me, “Damn, this is cool to get out of the house, but it’s hot. Fun, but hot. Hot. Hot.”
“Do I look ok?” I asked my husband, before a lady began to snap a photo of the 4 of us.
“Well, you’re sweaty.” he replied.
“I don’t sweat. I’m sure I’ll just look dewy in our photo.”
“Five years, and I’ve never once seen you sweat. Not at the gym. Not ever. Wow, you’re sweating, but ok…we’ll call it dewy,” he commented.

My next coastal adventure will be to a resort in Clear Lake, where there is shade and plenty of palm trees. He is in the heat on the tennis court every day, so it wasn’t it great call to head to the beach on a 100 degree day with a geriatric dog!
We still had a good time, took a tiny break and relaxed a little.
