I have been on the hunt, looking for a foundation that doesn't make my face super shiny by the end of the day.  And I think I finally found the perfect foundation!!  It doesn't give a full coverage, but definitely a more medium coverage.  The color is a smidge light, but I don't mind.  I also love that it has SPF in the formula.

This innovative brush-on gel contains tiny microfibers that adhere to skin and hair, creating full, lush-looking brows where before there were none. The water resistant, long-wearing formula builds easily for thick, full arches, thanks to a tiny tapered brush for blending and precision tip for shaping.

~How to Use~

Using short pressing motions, stroke the precision tip along the brow to define & shape. Brush through with the custom tiny tapered brush to blend and build. Stroke on more to build thicker-looking brows. To get the most natural look, start at the inner edge of your brow and move outward. For the fullest, thickest-looking results, gently glide the brush against the direction of your hair growth starting at the tail, and allow the color to settle. Then brush hairs back into place.

I love how much volume my lashes look after using this mascara.  They look amazing.  But the only downfall I have is that the more you build on your lashes the more spidery they look.  But two coats does it for my lashes and they look amazing.

I love the sweet but spiciness of this perfume.  I also like how the fragrance isn't overpowering.  I definitely will repurchase this perfume in the future, when I run out.

This was my favorite book of February.

~Summary~

In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.


The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.
