Summer Makeup Essentials

Ah, sweet Summertime! Oh how I've missed you! I am ready for all that Summer brings. Picnics, 4th of July, and swimming! With Summer, brings heat and the possibility of your makeup breaking down. I have picked out a few of my favorite products that have helped my makeup stay put.

Face Primer: You know I love the Prime Time primer from Bare Minerals. It absorbs oil and keeps your face looking matte.

Foundation: In the summer, you want to get a new foundation to match your bronzed skin. I just got a new Mary Kay mineral foundation in Beige 2. (I was a Beige 1 in the Winter)

Blush: Blush is typically the first thing to leave the face on a sweaty day, so I love the Stainiac from The Balm. It gives a nice stain and looks very natural.

Eye Primer: I have really oily lids, and I found that The Balm's Put a Lid on it really stays in place and makes my shadows last longer.

Also in the summer you should invest in some good quality eye shadows. As you know, I love the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, and Wet n Wild eyeshadows. Not only do they go on like a dream, with a primer, they stay put!

The Sumita and Urban Decay 24/7 liners go on and last very well!

The Rocket Volume mascara  by Maybelline, also doesn't flake and definitely lasts, and I don't even own the waterproof version!

There are many different kinds of setting sprays for your face, but I have always loved the ELF Makeup Mist and Set. This keeps my makeup in place and makes me look natural and not powdery.

The last thing you want is sunburned lips. I love the EOS lip balm in the lemon scent because it has SPF 15.

Lastly, you want a fun pop of color for your lips, and you know I love the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. My color is rendezvous.

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
