Image result for summer to fall transition memes
Hey, All I hope that your transition from Summer to Fall Has been less stress than Mine.


Is my Favorite Time of the year.
It also is a bit easier on my Lupus Flares and I can go outside more.

 I am now a mother of a college student.
 I am beyond Stressed, frustrated and a little sad.
Due to My Lupus, I was Unable to make the trip to drop him off. I hugged him outside and then he was gone. I guess my head is expecting him to walk through the door. 
This is my Kid that Isn't big on Social Media Or Texting or  Calling. 
So needless to say I don't know anything really.
 I only have a photo of his Bed. lol
Needless to say, I am Going Crazy!!
First Kid Out the Door Since Graduating.

 He does now have a Snapchat so I guess I should be Happy, But Now he just Needs to post on it...
 I should add also, I am very Happy and Proud of the Kiddo. 
(I don't know why we were standing right in front of the sun. lol)

 He's a LumberJack Now.






Anyway, Back to the Topic....
Let's review this month's Ipsy Bag 
The theme was Good Vibes Only 
All about the universe, peace and love and Magic 
The Bag was pretty awesome and definitely something I  would reuse.
Peace,Love and Lipstick
*1st product I received was a Color Corrector in the shade pistachio
  from the brand- Aurora 
this is a green shade which is good for helping  conceal any ruddiness or in my case my Lupus Rash 
The only problem I had was it caked up on me one day but other than that I think it works great. 
*2nd product is a coconut Blush Duo from the brand -Pacifica
 this has two beautiful shades of Blush 
Beaming- is a Muted Terra Cotta Shade
  Tenderheart- is a Soft Subtle Mauve
These blushes are coconut infused, anti-aging and they blend like a dream, you can build them up for a more intense color payoff. They are Beautiful giving you a look like a glow from within.
*3rd product is a sample size mascara The Excessive Lash
from -Make Up Forever
This is a dark black shade the formula is supposed to give you a fanned-out look with a wide -eyed effect. This formula has soft and hard fibers to layer and builds up lashes w/out clumping them.
-I am not a huge fan of this mascara.
 I have thinning Eyelashes Due to medications I take for Lupus.  I tried this formula with a primer and it looked okay it did give a bit of volume but not enough to make me run out and repurchase it.
*4th product is an Eyeshadow in the shade 
Taj Mahal
 
from the brand -Be A Bombshell Cosmetics
This is a gorgeous metallic shade with subtle gold shimmer.
The formula is buttery soft and blends like a dream. 
I wear this by itself with a light Brownish crease shade and it is amazing,
 Does not crease on my eyes no matter how long I am wearing it. 
I would love to try out more shades from this line.
*5th product is a Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask
from the brand -Formula 10.0.6 
I haven't used this as of yet so I can't give you my thoughts. 
It is supposed to be a tingly mask that gets to the clogged pores and removes them. It does have an amazing Strawberry smell with a hint of rosemary. I will let you know how I like it when I try it.

That is everything in my Bag So now let's see what Jayedybug Got.

*1st product is a sample size of Eyeshadow in the shade Willkommen
 
  From the brand -The Balm
This brand is awesome and the packaging is adorable.
 This eyeshadow is a gorgeous, almost Deep Caramel shade it is soft and easy to blend due to triple-milled pigments and it's cruelty-free and anti-aging.
*2nd product is a Heart of Gold Elixir
from the brand- GAV'EE Gold 
This will help fight environmental stressors while hydrating your skin super-fruits Mangosteen, Noni, Goji, and Acai help in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 
Inside the formula is Purified 24k Liquid Gold
 ..WTHeck ..
The package is too cute nice and sparkly the formula smells amazzzing and makes your skin feel super soft.
*3rd product is a shimmer bronzer in the shade Flush
 
from the brand- Hikari Cosmetics
This is a 4 in one product you can use each shade separately or swirl them all together for one look. 
This can be used as a highlight, eyeshadow, blush contour whatever you choose 
 High pigmented colors that blend easily and stay put.
*4th product is a mini Universal Brow Pencil in Taupe
 from the brand- Paula Dorf Cosmetics
This is a universal shade it's blendable and makes your brows look filled in and natural.
*5th product is a Precision tip liner in black
  from the brand- Steve Laurant
This is an in a rose gold tube, it has a fine tipped waterproof liner, which really is water resistant, sweat proof and will stay put.
This is all the products that we received. 
Any catch your eyes? 
Another great bag for the month. Excited for Next months.
 Well, this has taken longer than expected

As Always 
Stay Strong and Keep Fighting

Life 2020-2021 Getting back into this.

  So as the whole world has struggled with the pandemic it's an understatement as to how I have been, my kids and, my husband. I am not going to lie and say that it didn't affect me in an immense way  I went down a severe hole into depression and, let's just say my mental health was a nightmare  I wanted to die and, just didn't have the strength to do it myself so I would lay in bed and, starve myself hoping I wouldn't wake up the next time. The real struggle came at night because of my insomnia I would lay in my bed and, think about all the things I couldn't do or wanted but, I just didn't have the strength to, I would think about how much better my husband would have been marrying someone else how I have ruined his life how mean I was to him and didn't even think or want to be. How he is carrying on with his life and me, I'm just better off dead because that is exactly how I feel like a person suffering from all this crap.  My kids don't seem t...

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...

March Ipsy Bag Review

I hope everyone had an amazing month. And “Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit!”“ Which means Happy St.Patrick's Day to you! Mine was a lil tough because of my Lupus and St.Patrick's Day is always hard for me that is the day my Grandma on my mom's side passed away. This one i was in bed for it was a rough time with my lupus and pain . BUT.... Other than that Let’s jump into the March Bag I will be doing Jayedyn’s Bag first. The Bag for the Month- is all about Women and it’s filled with brand products that female’s founded and girl boss staples. #ipsySHEro The bag is cute and it says on the front And off she went to change the world. This makes me sad and proud at the same time. Just because my only daughter is leaving for college in the Fall and I know that it will come faster than I would like. I am trying to spend as much time as my Lupus will let me. It’s not an easy process for me, and I hate it. But enough on that let’s re...
