MaC To the Beach Finds!

I was finally able to pick up a few items from the MAC To the Beach Collection! I got three things...I'm hoping during my trip to Florida in a couple weeks I'll be able to find the items I couldn't get in Rhode Island!

First, I got the Rosemary and Thyme eye kohl

It's a shimmery golden olive green color
I'm really loving this color. I normally wear dark brown eye kohl, but I've been using the dark brown on my top lash line and this color on my bottom lash line and I'm in love with this combination! I have green eyes so I think it helps to bring out my eyes but I'm sure it would look pretty on any color eye!

Next is the Firecracker eyeshadow

It is the darker of the two pink colors available in this collection. It's described as "a frosted mid-tone red-orange (veluxe pearl)" but I think it is much more of a coral pink color.
It also has a slight golden shimmer that I think is so pretty and summery.

The last item I got was the Easy Lounger lipglass.
Described as a "light baby pink with multidimensional pearl"
I think it is again more coral pink than baby pink, and does have a lot of glitter/shimmer, but I love this color on! It is definitely a coral peachy summer color!

A few items I wanted were sold out at Nordstrom, but I'm going to check out the MAC store in the St. Johns Town Center when I'm in Florida in 2 weeks! I hope I'm not too late! I really want to try the bronze body oil. I've heard some good reviews on it! I also want to try the "In the Buff" Nail Lacquer, the "Marine Life" pressed highlight powder, and the "Sand and Sun" eyeshadow. I'll keep y'all posted!

Later y'all!

Trip Up North!

I know I've been MIA for a few days...but last Thursday I headed out to...

...Rhode Island! I have some wonderful friends who live there and I was so happy to see them. I was able to go shopping, relax, and have some local food like clamcakes and chowder and Del's lemonade. Here are some pictures from the evening trip to Narragansett Beach we took.
The Coast Guard House is in the background...I love the lifeguard chairs.
Surfers were out hitting the big waves...in wetsuits of course!

From left Danielle, me, Amanda, and Brianna.
Rocky beach covered in pebbles that were smooth from the waves. I was on the lookout for an enormous clam shell like the one I found on this beach a few summers back that was still attached to its other half...but no such luck. The water was freezing too!
Here I am with my Del's lemonade...the best frozen lemonade you will ever have!

I always love visiting Rhode Island...especially in the summer with the ocean breeze! I was sorry I couldn't make it to Newport to visit but maybe next time!

While I was in RI I was able to pick up a few items from the MAC To the Beach collection and I also got to see Dave Matthews Band in concert...they put on an amazing show, as usual. I LOVE seeing them in concert they never disappoint me! Posts to follow later this week about the makeup and the concert (with lots of pictures!! I took a ton!!)

Later y'all!
