One of my B-Day Gifts
I am sure that you have seen many reviews regarding this new addition from Tarte.
At first I was not interested in this palette, but when I was at Sephora I thought,"oh well, it's my B-day", so I bought it. I have used it only once and I am sad to say that I am not too impressed with it. To be honest, I don't know what I was expecting from this palette, but it seemed more of a normal traditional makeup palette. It is no different than others that I have purchased which cost cheaper and offered the same pay off. Speaking of pay off, the only brightness you get is from the silver, which is the one that I have placed a red dot on. This color gives a great payoff, as for the others, they are okay.
The eye liner is superb, it is nice a creamy and doesn't smug. If you are considering it for the love of the show then get yours before it sells out. If you are more into the colors, thinking they are spectacular, then I would miss this one and spend your $ on something worth wide.
Inspiration from a fantastic artist
Kayla's blog is filled with nail polish designs, images and reviews. Well needless to say I was inspired. I love nail polish and love to decorate my nails. My nails are real, they began to grown when I started to take prenatal vitamins. My nails were never strong, they would break at a drop of hat. I started to take the vitamins while I was in nursing school because my instructor told me that taking prenatal vitamins were the best vitamins that a woman could take.
It was about 3 months I started to notice my nails grown strong and hard. At first I didn't link it with the vitamins but when I stopped taking them to see if it was the vitamins, my nails started to break. It was the weirdest thing to watch.
Kayla's designs gave me the inspiration to do this design. Though it is not as perfect as hers, it is still nice. I went out for my B-day with these and I cannot tell you how many compliments I received. Thanks Kayla for the inspiration, continue on!

Feedback from my Extreme Cream and Soaps!!!!
I received a heart felt letter from a client that brought me to tears. I thought I would share this letter with you. I have asked for permission to display her letter, and it has not be retouched in anyway. Thank you Shannon for sharing your experience and I am so happy to hear that my products have made such an impact in your life. Now there are 2 happy Moms! :)
Hi Helen,
Just writing to let you know that the Extreme Cream is amazing, and so is the coconut soap and the cranberry orange soap. I bought it from you recently to treat my daughter’s eczema. I showed her your website and asked her to try it and let me know how it does. Well, her doctor had just prescribed us a small bottle of some after shower moisturizer lotion that was $75. I couldn’t afford it, and that price was AFTER my insurance discount! My sister has eczema and told me not to waste my money because it doesn’t work. They also prescribed my daughter this cream for the itching but she couldn’t use it on too many places at one time due to its side effects! Needless to say, this scared her and she said she’d rather itch and burn than to use it. It scared her.
I often watch sayanythingBr00ke’s videos and she had reviewed your soaps, and she also explained how you started your business and why. Having just been to the doctor’s office with my daughter for her eczema, I decided that day to check out your website. Since my daughter started using both of your products, the cream and the soap, her eczema is basically completely gone in some spots and MUCH better in other areas and continuing to diminish. She came to me last night and said she was low on the cream and soap, and could I get more. She’s just 16 so to me this says something. Teenagers are hard to deal with. When we went to her doctor, there was a large area on her stomach she could not stop scratching and it was so red all the time, and 2 other areas on her upper arms as well. I’m proud to report that all those areas are basically completely clear now, you can only faintly see anything there, so its all but gone. She said she can’t remember when she stopped itching it but its been awhile. That made me smile. Then, the spots right behind her knees used to always be inflamed, especially after she would workout, and burn real bad, but since using your cream and soap, it doesn’t burn her anymore and the redness has faded A LOT. She’s had this for years now and we’ve tried over the counter lotions suggested by the doctors to no avail. This last time at the doctor’s office they prescribed that expensive lotion.
I need to order more of the Extreme Cream for her, but I see that you are out of stock on it right now. Do you know when you will have more? I’m going to order some for my daughter, as well the soaps, and I’m going to order some for my sister, who I want to start using your product as well. She’s had back eczema for years. She’s in her late 20’s. I know she’ll be thrilled to finally have something that works too.
Thanks so much, Shannon Mistrot (one happy mom) :D

In an attempt to fix my FACEBOOK page, it was somehow deleted. :( I tried to find it but it is a no show. I never hit delete or deactivate, it was just gone.
So I have started another one. If you are interested in the new URL it can be found at the bottom of the post, just copy and paste. Since this page was deleted, I lost all my subscribers to FACEBOOK. If you have the time I would appreciate a visit to the new site.
Have a great weekend!!!!

Diminish your pores
Diminish your pores
What you need:
