Weight Loss: Week 5

Hey ladies, so this past week I started working again, which means I been eating alot of fast food again. Which kind of killed me for this week’s weigh in. So this week I got back into working out, I’m not doing the traditional work out anymore for the moment. My brother has an xbox 360, so I been playing Kinect Games. It’s so much fun I’m not even going to lie. But for this week I weight 154.8, that means I only gained 1.8lbs from last week. But I think with me playing the Kinect 4 times a week, I should be able to lose more over the next couple of weeks and get below 150.

I will keep you posted on how it goes. Have an amazing day!

Weight Loss: Week 4

Hey ladies, here is another later post. So for that week I was slacking again, not as bad as the first week. I’m not really stressed about losing my weight anymore. I basically realized that it’s not going to happen overnight. So for week 4 I was at 153. I think I went up, but I’m 2 lazy to check from my last post. For week 5, which I will be posting right away, I did much better. I finally found a way to get into exercising without really exercising and I’m loving it.

See you in the next post about with my weight loss journey.

First Thoughts: Revlon Sunset Peach Color Burst Lip Gloss


Hey ladies, here are my initial thoughts on this new lip gloss I picked up from Revlon. It’s such a pretty color. It’s a peachy coral color with gold shimmer, it goes so well with Revlon Peach Color Burst Lipstick. It gives you a sheer wash of colors on your lips. It’s great for those days when you’re not feeling for lipstick but you still want a hint of color. I really love the packaging of this lip stick, has a really classic look that matches the lipsticks. So far I really like it, it’s not too sticky and the shimmer isn’t chucky which a plus. I definitely will be picking up more colors from this line and when I have tried out quite a few I will come back with a complete overview.



 
Do you like this lip glosses? What your favourite color to wear?

First Thoughts: Revlon Peach Color Burst Lipstick

Heyl adies, I wanted to come share with you my initial thoughts on this lipstick. First of all I really like the packaging, it has a classy look to it and I love it. This lipstick glides on easily and it is buildable. It’s a very nice peachy coral color, it would look amazing on alot of skin tones. This would be a great color for Spring and Summer, it’s not too bright so if you’re not feeling for the bright orange lips this would work for you. Peach reminds me alot of MAC Dressmaker, Dressmaker; as well as MAC Made To Order. Both MAC lipsticks for limited from last spring. So for since wearing it today, I really love this color. It’s going to something I reach for regularly along with my MAC lipsticks.



I can’t wait to try more lipsticks from this line. What are your thoughts on Revlon Color Burst Lipsticks? What’s your go to color from them?

Mini Haul: Back to Shopper’s Again

Hey ladies, so I went back to Shopper’s on Monday before I headed off to work to pick up a few more of the Revlon items. I only ended up getting 2 things this time. The first is a Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastel. It’s a light purple color and I’ve been wanting to pick this up since last summer but we never had them up in Canada. Well that’s what I think cause I couldn’t find this color or Coral Reef, which I’m still on a hunt for. Happy I got it though. And then I picked up a Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in 716 Sugar Poppy, it’s a frost finish. I’m not a big frost finish liker but it’s such a super pretty color. It’s a bright pinky red, almost a coral. I can’t wait to try these out for a FOTD posting.

Mini Haul: Shopper’s Drug Mart

Hey ladies, so this past Sunday and Monday Shopper’s was having a great deal on select Revlon lip products. I went on Sunday and picked up 3 lipsticks from the Super Lustrous Line. I’ve been wanting to try these for awhile now as well. So I’m super excited about these.

The first color I got was 435 Love That Pink, it’s a crème finish. It’s a really bright pinky coral, it kind of reminds me of MAC Toxic Tale lipstick, but I haven’t swatched them next to each other yet. But it’s such a super pretty color.

The second color is 628 Peach Me, it’s a crème finish as well. It’s another peachy coral lipstick. It seems to be lighter then Peach from the Color Burst line. I can’t wait to wear it. I love peach or coral colors. I could never have enough.

Finally I got 750 Kiss Me Coral and yet again it’s another coral color. This has a crème finish as well. This is a really red coral color and I’m loving it. It looks pretty orange in the tube but I think it will look amazing on the lips.

I honestly can’t wait to give these a try. I will be having FOTD posts featuring these new lipsticks. So keep an eye out for new posts.

Mini Haul: Walmart

Mini Haul: Walmart

Hey ladies, last night I went to Walmart to try and pick up a couple of the new Cover Girl lipsticks but to my luck all the colors I wanted were sold out. So I went to see what they had in stock for Revlon. I recently picked up some other lipstick from them that will be coming up in a later post. Anyways though, I picked up my first Color Burst lipstick and lipgloss. I’ve heard soo many good things about them on youTube and on hear that I’ve been dying to try them.

Usually I only pick up drugstore makeup when it’s on sale, but I thought why not just spend the $8 on them when it’s better than paying $12. The lipstick I picked up was 075 Peach, it was on the display for NEW colors so I can to get it. It’s such a pretty soft peach color, it almost reminds me of Dressmaker, Dressmaker from MAC. Then I picked up the lipgloss in 022 Sunset Peach, it’s a soft peach color with a slight gold pearl/shimmer to it. I can’t wait to try these out together. I will be doing a post of a FOTD featuring these in the next couple of weeks.

The last item I picked up was the April Edition of Vogue. It’s the 10th annual shape issue. As well it caught my eye because Rihanna is featured on the cover. Honestly that’s the only reason why I picked it up. I think I would be a good read though.

Snow Days

Hey ladies, It’s been snowing for the last 3 days in my city. It’s kind of depressing. It was almost spring, well we had it for a week but now it’s back to winter. Honestly my city doesn’t know what seasons are. There is winter, some more winter, spring, winter again, then summer for like 2 weeks, then fall and some more fall and then back to winter. Lol that’s how it seems to be every year but I have love for my city. Such a beautiful place when it’s not super cold.

Weight Loss: Week 3

Hey ladies, this is my third week into trying to drop some pounds. This week was another week that I didn’t work out. All I did was basically run around with my daughter. I didn’t snack on any junk food and I’ve still been eating healthy. As well I have been trying not to eat any food after 8pm. And if I do, it’s just some fruits or vegetables. This week I’m down to 151.0lbs, this is 1.2lbs down. I’m super excited about that. I can’t wait to see how much I lose next week and figure out how much I lost in a month.

See you guys in next week’s post =]

Weight Loss: Week 2

Hey ladies, so this past week, I didn’t do as good. I was still eating healthy but I only worked out once. And I ate alot of candy. Oops lol oh well though. I still lost weight though, so I’m happy about that. I’m at 152.2lbs, this means I only lost 0.8lbs. That’s better than I thought it would be. I honestly thought I would gain 5lbs. But hopefully this week goes better. I haven’t exercised at all yet, but I’m planning on working out tonight for a bit. So wish me luck for a better week. See you soon for another update.

Weight Loss: Week 1

Hey ladies this is such a late update. So my first week of getting fit was hard. I only had a chance to work out 1 day. But I did pretty good, worked out for 30 mins. So I was able to eat healthy the whole week without snacking on a lot of junk food. Something I’m super proud of. So I current weight 153.0Lbs. This means I lost 3.4Lbs. This is super exciting. Hopefully when I do my weight in on Monday, I either stay the same or lose a couple of more pounds. Be back on Monday to let you know how it’s going. Wish me luck!

Twists!

Hey ladies I haven’t posted anything about my hair in such a long time. So I thought I would come show you the twists I did. Honestly I hate doing small twists, cause it seems to take forever. But today I was feeling kind of bored, so I did a co-wash and twisted up my hair. This is the smallest I have ever done. But I think I did a pretty good job and it came out really good. I’m completely loving it, hopefully it will last till Friday. And then I can do a twist out :)

Have a great Tuesday!
