Where have you Been all my Life


                                                Happy New Year 2016!
 I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday.  For Christmas I received the
Too Faced- La Petite Maison Palette from Lonnie which I did not expect. And so far I am loving the looks I get with it. I also got a Bag of  It Cosmetics so i can try out a few more things .. And of course It wouldn't be a gift for me if i didn't get something SpongeBobish..


 Let's talk about my Lupus now. it's been exhausting!
 Two days of Christmas shopping had me in bed for 4 days in excruciating pain so a lot of sleep was done . I pulled myself together for Christmas for my family and  we just stayed at home which was nice plus it was too cold to go anywhere. My kids were entertained with the ps4 So a good Holiday was had by all But it's over and it's back to school for them and I kind of miss them.
It's just me and Daizie dog and it's so quiet... Today  I woke up at 7 am took all seven of my meds  got my kids off to school, did a load of laundry, folded put away a load and picked up my front room.  Granted this took me till noon. 
 Lupus makes things like this harder than it should be. So in my world this is a huge accomplishment.  Big Pat on my back for me .Throughout the day  I tried so hard to not take any naps because I wanted to sleep tonight  but my body had other plans and sadly it was forced to fall asleep at 5 I slept until 9 pm so I am awake now. 
Hey I at least tried.  
The pain I feel today is manageable to a point, it's like being stung by a bee or bitten by a snake a sharp pain over and over and over that is the best way to describe it.
 My joints are very sore and it's because its cold outside and snowy got to love Utah... I hope all my Lupus fighters out there can get the relief they need ...Hugs

 Anyway on to my exciting brand find that I just can't get enough of.  I am really excited about this product line and the amazing looks I have gotten from it.... and in my opinion I would say it's a Dupe or copycat of a high end brand . Have I peaked your interest? 
Okay so what I am talking about is the brand - Makeup Revolution London



  
So here is why I would recommend this brand 
*First one would be price!   The price for one palette is $7.00 .Yes I said $7 
(what and how did I miss this?) 
*The Second is the pigment Payoff it's Gorgeous!  Iconic palette swatches from L-R #1, #2, #3

 The Essential Day2Night palette 


The Romantic Smoked (Does this remind you of something High End a bit?)



Lasting power on the shadows is wonderful if used with a primer. I had mine on for about 12 hrs. Every time and it still was going strong until it was time to wash my face.
  *3rd is the Palettes in my opinion are dupes or copycats for UD Naked, 2, 3
 Yes that is correct I said that... 
(Now I love the brand UD and wish that I was able to purchase the Naked palettes
 but the price tag is just too high for me at $54.00 .)
(That is half the cost of my medications I need every month to manage my Lupus so high end brands are not something I can afford sadly .)
So I will tell you why in my opinion I believe them to be a dupe or copy cats.
 First impressions-
Looking at the palettes it does look very similar to Naked 1-3 








There are 12 shades in each one the first one is called the Redemption Iconic 1
Pictured here you can see almost the same now some colors are off a bit but I am okay with that 




Now what I wanted to see is could I get the same kind of looks that you would get from the high end ones so I went to you tube and started to search the looks done with the High End palettes and went to work on the task.
What I did since the shadows aren't labeled I decided to name each color like the high end brands as you can see 


Makes the palette easier to copy the naked tutorials I was watching 
Here is what I found...
The looks could be recreated ! 
 Some shades in the Iconic were lighter than the other brands which I liked more but overall I didn't really see a huge difference. 
Here are some pictures of the looks I did and what my Face looked like after the Makeup was taken off .

Here is what my face looks like after i took off my Makeup





So I was super happy that I found these...  I love my palettes.
These can be found at Ulta and also you can purchase them from their web site as well.

I have only tried the eyeshadow palettes and I want to try there other products because I really liked what the palettes had to offer. They have a contour palette a brow palette and so, so much more... I am curious to see if there foundations and face products will cover this butterfly rash I have.
 I have reached out to the company to see if I could review any of their products but haven't heard anything back yet.   
What do ya think ? Is it a Dupe for Naked Palettes? I would love to get your thoughts.

Follow my blog for more Makeup Fun -I am waiting for my Ipsy GlamBag to arrive ...
well thats all for me . 

Keep fighting 
Stay Strong Don'tHide-EmbraceIt
Lupus Fighters all over the world..
Love ya ,
Misty

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings

I found this from April25th 2019 and somehow it never posted so I thought I would just add it here because I know that a lot of you are struggling this way also. You are not alone at all. I am starting to realize that sometimes even the sweetest kind of person can belittle you and hurt you with their words.  I recently had a day where I was told "Try to Keep Up" on the day I was struggling to walk, and in the most pain due to lack of pain medication s. It cut me to my core.  I would like to think that I am a good person and kind to everyone I meet. But recently it's been pointed out that people feel like I make whatever is being talked about and turn it back to ME. I don't feel like the world is about me by far, I try to make everything about other people and leave me out of it all.  I am not the kind of person that I want to have the spotlight on myself, it makes me uncomfortable because I want to do things right. I know it's crazy being a "Leo" it...
