Updates an New blog name

Hello,

I haven't been making blogs in years. I wanted to just never got around to it. There have been many changes in my life over the years. Two of which are my mother passing away in 2015 and the birth of my little girl in 2016.

I hope to get this blog up and running again with new posts covering many topics, events, reviews, family vacations, giveaways and deals links.

Also, very soon the name of this blog will be changing. I am now in the process of trying to work it all out. So please stay tune for more content on here for me coming soon.

Thanks,
Michelle

Blossom Pads: Intro to Cloth Kit

For cyber Monday Blossom pads had a facebook sale. Like their page and get the code to save 35% off your order. I wanted to order more but ended up just getting the Intro to cloth kit with the code. This time I ordered thru their Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlossomPads) page. I save a few cents on shipping this way.
Intro to cloth kit w/o code: Intro to cloth kit w/code:
$10.00 + 2.50 for Shipping = $12.50 $6.50 + 2.50 for shipping =$9.00

So with the code I save $3.50 on my order. I'm happy about that. I love a discount. I ordered the set Monday night it was shipped on Thursday and I received the package Saturday afternoon. That's nice.

The kit includes:

* 1 velour 6" panyliner
* 1 velour 8" pad with a bamboo/cotton core and moderate absorbency
* 1 flannel 10" flannel pad with a cotton core and super absorbency
* Information on how to care for your pads

The velour on the Pantyliner and 8 inch pad feels so nice. I have not use them yet. However I have use my 1st set of Flannel top pads I brought from them. And I'm very pleased with them. I will be doing a review on them in the next few days.

I'm going to try cloth pads

I'm entering the world of Cloth pads. I have tried to before but the pad I made was not good. For right now I'm going to try pads from other companies and see what I like then I'll try to make my own.

So I'm waiting on my 1st order from Blossom Pads

or
http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlossomPads

I am hoping to buy some base and insert type pads to use also. I have seen a few places on etsy that sell them.

Coming Soon: In 2 to 3 weeks I will be doing a Blossom Pad review.

E.L.F(Eyes Lips Face Reviews coming up.

I just placed my 3rd order with them over the weekend. So I figured I'll start reviewing the product I have from them. I will not review all them but do most of them. This may take me some time.

On a side note the Studio 11 Piece Brush set in Glitter is sold out. I was sad. I really wanted that set. Hopefully they will bring it back in stock.

Nice Palette

5out of 5

Pros: Good Value, Long Lasting, Easy To Apply, Versatile

Cons: I wish it was more red

Best Uses: Special Occasions, Daily Use, Dry Skin, Normal Skin, Oily Skin

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

Skin Tone: Medium

Age: 25-34

I am a makeup novice. I love this product. With 100 different colors I can play around with it a lot and learn how to apply my shadow better. Also good to try new colors that I may not have brought on its own. The eyeshadow stays on for me for many many hours. Usually as long as I need it on. I don't notice any fading until I get home and is ready to take off my makeup. My only problem with it is that my fav color is red and this thing do not have a red shade I love. It had a dark red and that does the trick for me most of the time. But overall I love the Palette. Glad I picked it up before it sold out.

4out of 5

Pros: Compact, Functional, Easy To Use

Cons: Handles came off on a few

Best Uses: Travel, Everyday, Going Out

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

I had this set six years ago. I got rid of old makeup and things a few years ago so I'm glad they still carry this one. I like this set. Nice and compact. Great for travel and in my purse. I use the brow & brush comb every time I do my eyes. The angled eyeshadow brush is great when I am rubbing in the shadow. I also use it from time to time with black shadow to apply as eyeliner. I would recommend the set to any one. However when I cleaned them I go the handles wet which made them come off. But with some glue they are back to normal. So it wasn't a problem for me. I love that it comes with a little case, great and easy when its in my purse. It helps protect the brushes.
