FOLLOWUP ON It! Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye....Its falling into the PASS category.

I have given this a couple go-arounds now, and even several months before coming back around at it, and I am NOT impressed, not at all. I am wondering what product(s) were actually used on the models on the QVC presentation because the consistency and the total lack of opacity does not jive with the results they showed on the presentation--at all.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Too-Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer

It's awfully hard to come back to this and talk about makeup and frivolous stuff when the last entry is about Mr. Wyatt....But I must heal and keep going.

My first post back will be a review about yet another concealer trying to cover my ridiculous circles.  I picked up this TOO-FACED one on Beauty.com though I've seen it at Ulta and Sephora.  I was buying something for the next review so I decided to lump it all together.

Contrary to the name, this is not my idea of flawless coverage, let alone ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS as the name implies....

Wyatt's Warmth from the Heart

I am thrilled to let you all know that I am proudly involved with a non-profit organization called Wyatt's Warmth from the heart.  We have a page on Facebook, as well as a twitter: @wyattswarmth and now a blog is set up.  A lovely woman named Lisa got this started and Jillian and I among others are heavily involved in the donations collection and soon the distribution.  Our mission is to collect donations of baby leg warmers, blankets, books, and stuffed animals, or funds to purchase these items, and to distribute them to other babies in the hospital going through treatment for serious conditions, many of white are Congenital Heart Defect patients. All of this is done in memory to honor Wyatt James Greeno, who passed away from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome on January 24, 2011 at a mere 6 months old.  He never got a fair shot at a full life, and hopefully we can raise enough awareness of CHD's to make the research of such conditions more of a focus than they are currently. 1 in 100 babies are born with a CHD, myself included.  I got a shot at a full life, and while Im only in my 30s, if I were to die today, I gave it my all.  Many of these kids don't make it beyond a few days or months to even know what impact they could have had on this world, but Wyatt made quite an impact on the few he met, and the many he never got to meet. And on his behalf, we want to spread the world and the love to other babies and families that they're not alone and we're all there for support!

FINALLY: The Latisse Review

I finally finished my 16 week long term project. And it was worth it. I definitely plan to keep using it, because my lashes hold a curl better than ever, and when I put mascara on they are even better. In fact, I am still using the first bottle, I ran out of brushes a while ago, but I am using a thin eyeliner brush and washing it each night. I got a refill with brushes and liquid but I didn't want to bust those out just yet since I still have the juice left.

Please take a moment...

A very good friend of mine lost her beautiful 6 month old son the other night to complications after surgery to correct a congenital heart defect.  He was born with a gene mutation causing clotting, and ultimately, it was clotting that lost the fight.

This little one was loved so so much by so many, and was wanted so badly by his parents.  He will be missed by more people than I can even comprehend.

I don't believe in deities or religions or anything and I am not spiritual, but I was calling on everything there and everyone I knew, and some I didn't know, that this little guy would win.  I would give anything to bring him back to this world, and I truly hope that they know that HE knew how much he was loved, and how truly happy he made them and all of us who knew him and know them.  I wish them comfort and strength to get through this loss and to come out stronger than before.

This little boy is one in 100 babies born with a heart defect.  Did you know that there were so many born with heart defects?  That's a pretty staggering number.  Did you know that only one penny of every dollar donated to the American Heart Association goes to the research of Congenital Heart Defects?  I had no idea.  It breaks my heart that children can come into this world with such issues, and that so many cannot win.  No child deserves that fate.
