Hauling from eyeslipsface.com

So recently I got an order .. yes yes more elf.. you know i can't resist my eyeslipsface products.  They keep bringing out new products omg... I am always going crazy.  I got a couple other stuff which I will post here with time but for starters I got this palette
the elf studio prism palette in smoke
They also have another one called sunset but I felt that was going to be too neutral and I had a number of palettes that are very similar to it. 
Upon opening this palette.. I was really excited haven't done swatches  as yet.. will do that on camera in a haul or first impressions vid so check out my youtube channel: roannavm for that..
but the shadows look really awesome!!! so excited to try

Walking away

So the stress continues a bit, as I had to walk away from a job I craved for!  I know it was everything I wanted my promotion to be, but it would have been so demanding, challenging and yet still fulfilling.  But I walked away, stupid right??? I think so in my head, but my heart is telling me I did the right thing.  Why?.. because I had to do it for the loves of my life.  I would have ended up being a slave to my job.  I enjoy the fact that my job is so flexible and I can be so involved in my boys life, trading that for $$$ will never work out.  why get $$ and then miss the moments, thats my thought! so as much as I am thinking walking away was omg horrific .. I know deep down inside I did the right thing... other jobs will always come up.... i hope lol..

BETRAYAL...!!! - Deal or not to Deal!

So this post is a bit different from the regular makeup.. beauty items.  But it is an issue we face sadly at times in our lives.  Its something some of of are scared to speak out on and others will fly a banner across the sky if they could.  For me it has changed.  In my late teens and mid twenties I would want to tell the person, confront, and tell the whole world with all sort of intentions: embarrass the person, warn the world or just to simply get it out...Within the last couple of years I became the silent type.  The silent type ranging from just telling friends and confronting the person, to just the person, to just close friends to just my bff and now i've just resort to telling God.  But lately I shared something with a couple close friends and then i realise that telling others did nothing for me.  I still felt crappy, it didnt change the situation. To those who I told they all gave different responses, so I ended up feeling more confused.  So days later, I realise that another person has betrayed my trust.  And I feel like i'm sinking even further into a hole.  Its strange that I dont want to be around people, and Im a person who loves to have people around them (well good friends that is).  Now I just want to be by myself.  Strange enough Im now even going through a phrase I dont even want to touch my makeup.  I'm at a sense of feeling so lost, and i know there are stages in dealing with betrayal and its grief, so I thought i'll just blog my days through it ..
I hope it can get better, I'm really at a lost of dealing with it.  I've cried a bit, I want to try more but the tears wont come out.. and I think that is driving me insane that I feel like i can't express or get it out of me... then I wonder who I really want it out of me, if it gets out can I really deal with its reality.. My head hurts so much as I write this, my eyes are burning (and i dont think its from tears) My heart seems to be beyond repair and i feel the walls closing in.. I'm afraid i'll crash at some point.. i feel so sad..
Its time to get on my knees!!

Jordana Color Tint Blush Stick

I own one Jordana Color Tint Blush Stick. I have the color Apple Cheeks 03. I picked this color because it appeared to have the most pigmentation. So far it's great for the summer definitely enjoying this cream blush. I however will not repurchase another color as the other colors seem to be light. It's worth the $1.99 USd I paid at Cherry Culture. I wish it was a bit more pigmented and have a bigger variety of colors. I would rate this product 3 out of 5
