Uncle Adam has fun shoes.
(my brother has Down syndrome and metal rods in his back, making tying shoes very hard. Hence, the velcro.)

Neglected blog
This blog has been so neglected.
I'm thinking about just posting on Cosy Rosy Ramblings because I can barely keep up with one blog!

spring cleaning my makeup
Ugh. I read somewhere that if you haven't used a cosmetic product in 6 months, that you should throw it out. Obviously, not meaning mascara because I would have chucked that out after 3 months. How does one just "toss" eyeshadow or blush without thinking twice? I think this will be easy for me this time. Regardless of what happens, Faizan and I are moving out of this crappy flat into something better. I need to start spring cleaning a lot of stuff! I'm also trying to only have natural/organic products in my stash with a few exceptions.
I've also been swapping some stuff on MakeUp Alley (not lip gloss or mascara or anything that can't be easily sanitised) and getting some decent stuff. When I used to work at Sephora, we used to get a lot of gratis products which was awesome! We're not allowed to sell any of it and we probably weren't allowed to swap it, but now I can since I don't work there anymore. I'm not selling it, just swapping :) Our employee #'s were etched into the bottles or compacts.
Now... I need to start. But getting stuff done is hard with a 4 month old!

baby update
As of yesterday, Zayn is weighing in at 6lbs 10oz in utero. So I'm assuming he'll be over 7lbs at birth. 3 weeks away! Geez... where did the time go? He's usually very active at night/early morning, but on Sunday he wasn't and I mentioned this to the doctor (but I wasn't too concerned) and I was hooked up to fetal monitoring and sent back for a second ultrasound to check fluid levels. He's fine, his heartbeat is excellent, and he's back to his normal active self.
Tomorrow my soap nuts arrive! I can finally get started washing his clothes and cloth diapers. *gasp* Cloth diapers?! That's another post, but since I try to be green with most things, this just makes sense! :)

stila natural beauty eye shadow palette
On Sunday I went to Ulta with my husband, where I walked in and right there greeting me was this:
I saw this on another blog and learned that it's an Australian exclusive (correct me if I'm wrong), but it's an American exclusive at Ulta. It was only $22! You know what else was cool? I received the Stila lip glaze in Watermelon for free (valued at $22.)
Sweet! I love this palette because it's so neutral and I like neutral :) It has 6 matte shades 7 shimmery shades. I haven't used it yet, but I will soon! :)

almost 34 weeks
Excuse the wonky hair in the photo.
Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary and the hubby and I were out and about.
We bought a diaper bag at Buy Buy Baby (the one I really wanted was $119, but I'm realistic and opted for something else.) :) I went to Ulta and bought a Stila Natural Eye Palette for $22 and received a free Watermelon lip glaze with it (worth $22!) We headed to the mall and I bought some socks at GAP that were on sale, score! It's finally cooling off... and by that I mean it's 84 and will drop to the 70's at night, sweet!
I'm looking forward to my last day of work on the 12th, a week from today! I know I quite super early, but Faizan and I don't have any family here and so much needs to get done before Zayn arrives! I need to clean and sort like nobody's business. I need to find a dresser for his stuff... that would help me get organised! I would buy a used one, but we don't have SUV's to fit one into. Hmm...
Alright, will have to post some Stila pics and I really mean that. xx

blush colour suggestions needed
Has it been a month since I've blogged? Oops.
Alright, so I LOVE the tv programme, Gilmore Girls (unfortunately it ended in 2007.) You may hate it, love it, or know nothing about it. That doesn't matter :) What matters is that I'm trying to find a blush colour that Alexis Bledel (she played Rory Gilmore) is wearing in the photo below. This photo is from this year, but her character wore a similar colour on the show. It's a peachy-ish shade and I like it. I also have fair skin like her and I wish I had those lovely blue eyes! Suggestions would be great :) MAC, Chanel, whatever you got... give 'em to me!
Ann Masterson was the makeup artist on the Gilmore Girls set and I wish she would have added to the makeup products mentioned on Makeup411.com. I wish that site was updated more.
Thanks! xx
