Easy Breezy Face Look

On a whim one day I decided to try this look. I wasn't having the best skin day and wanted to cover up when I was going out. (I usually go face makeup free when I'm not working.) I was pleasantly surprised how well this looked, and how fast it was! I've worn it several times after that day, and wanted to share it with you!

The Makeup:

DermaDoctor DD cream
Stainiac by The Balm
Shimmer bronzer by Model Co.
Mineral Veil by Bare Minerals

What I did was smooth the DD cream all over my face. I made sure to blend it in really well. The DermaDoctor's DD cream is self adjusting, so it adapts to your skin tone. Then I used my kabuki brush, and rubbed that all over my face. This still had some powder foundation on it, so this just continued to even out my face. I didn't even have to get out my powder foundation! Then, I grabbed a fluffy brush and put the shimmer bronzer on. I put it on in a "3" shape on the side of my face. Next, I applied the Stainiac to the apples of my cheeks, and blended that in. I love this because it is a stain, and lasted all day! Then I used the same fluffy brush I used to apply my bronzer, and applied a thin coating of mineral veil to set everything and make the finish flawless.

Honestly, this look took me less than 7 minutes. It lasted all day, I didn't get oily, and I felt great about my skin when I was having a less than perfect day.

Do you have an easy face look that you can apply? What products does it include? Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

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.

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii.

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
