Anastasia Contour Kit: The Good, The Bad, and the Horrible Processing

Here it is folks! Hot off the press! My curiosity got the best of me these past few weeks after seeing this bad boy in person,  so I decided to purchase the Anastasia Contour Kit from their online website. Boy did that suck.

It's not that their website isn't user friendly, because it is. I was able to very easily navigate through the options as I custom created a palette that would best compliment my skin tone. Based off of other blog reviews, I was careful to choose shades that work well with my NC 45 ish skin tone. With my purchase complete, I waited. And waited. And waited. No tracking info ever came via email. And a quick check up on my order status on their site always showed "processing". Then randomly yesterday, I get an email from my UPS account that I had a delivery! Hallelujah! And with the most wasteful amount of packaging for such a small item, my palette was here. Happy face.

I've used the palette exactly one time. My thoughts? I like it. Of course I will give this a few more uses before I give a complete review. My suggestion though, check out the internets for swatches and place your order through the ABH website (I know, yikes). You'll get a much more custom designed color palette that way.

Have you picked this up yet?

Guess who's back, back again??

     Ok I'm sorry I had to do it. How else would I not-so-awkwardly-yet-awkwardly segue into a random blog post straight outta nowhere after neglecting this space for a year?!! With an Eminem lyric of course! Boy oh boy, life sure does have a sense of humor. Well, at least the universe does. I made every intention of keeping my blog up to date and look what happened. A  whole lotta nada. That's what. But I'm back! I made some "goals" ie: resolutions for 2015 and one of them was to really reconnect with what was making me so happy. Blogging, vlogging, whatever.

Catch up on my Youtube Channel!
But don't worry, my focus hasn't changed. If you are a ride or die, (and I know many of you are *kisses*), then you've seen me on my Youtube channel tearin ish up. Just kidding. Sort of. My topics and interests are still the same. I love makeup, I love clothes, I love Stella, I love my husband, and I love things that make life easier for said child and husband.

Taking care of this guy.


And this little girl

Oh yeah I got married! 

Thanks for the photobomb Stella



Welcome back! Let's party!
