Upcoming review - Nars Smudgeproof Eye Base!

I'm excited to review for you all the Nars Smudgeproof Eye Base! Want my take on it? Then check out my review I'll be posting this week!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving and a fun-filled Black Friday. I didn't go shopping this year - but I did drool over some great online deals. Some of them I'm kicking myself for not taking advantage of, but my wallet thanks me. I'm sure my husband does too!

After the Nars review, I'll be posting a bit of a haul on what I received and bought for my birthday - as well as some giveaways I won and a swap I did. Hope you're excited too!

Birthdays, family, and hauls galore!

So in the last few months I had my birthday, so I took my first trip to Ulta and browsed leisurely to take it all in. Lucky are all of you who have an Ulta close by - my nearest one is an hour and a half away! I was amazed at the variety they offer. I think I found my new addiction - YIKES!

All I can say is the trip was definitely worth it!

I've been spending a lot of time with family - i.e., today was our family reunion! It was so much fun and I can't wait for next year.

Onto the beauty stuff!

So as I said, I took a trip to Ulta and bought several items as a birthday gift to myself. Yeah, that's how I roll ;) My husband's gift was amazing, as well as my dear friend Bethany's gift. They know me so well, haha.

Not only that, but between now and then I've made several trips to Walgreens and CVS. I even took advantage of the Sephora Friends & Family sale (which came with a huge shipping error that I'll explain in my haul post which will be coming soon).

The next thing coming up is the Sephora VIB 20% off sale - hopefully I can get something there as well.

I'm sorry I've been lost in my own little world of "work-a-lot" but I'm so excited to get back into blogging.

How have you all been?! Anything you'd be interested to see from me?! I'd love to hear! :)
