FOTD Junkie & Doggie Surgery

I took Brutus (my 15 week old Pomeranian) to get neutered today. I figured it would be a quick and easy surgery. Unfortunately the vet had some bad news for me; not only had his testicles not descended, but he had a hernia causing the blockage. They were able to repair the hernia and sterilize him, but he is definitely down and out. I feel so bad for my little man.

While I was waiting to pick up my Bru-berry I decided to play with a UD liner that I have not used yet, the beautiful Junkie.

I love it, it is such a gorgeous dark teal pearl with gold shimmer. I usually stick to my neutrals, though, so this was a bit out of my comfort zone especially for daytime wear.

FOTD & Review ELF Candid Coral

Yesterday whilst I was out running errands, I picked up a few elf blushes. One of those blushes was Candid Coral. 

It looks so pretty in the pan, a faintly shimmery peachy coral. This blush has been touted as a dupe for Nars Orgasm (....it is funny how many times I see this, when in reality I have never come across anything quite like Orgasm) It is not. Not even close. It is also sometimes referred to as a dupe for Nars Deep Throat. Nope, not there either. Deep Throat is more pink. But it is quite a pretty blush in its own right.

Heavy swatch

This is not a highly pigmented blush. In fact, on my super fair skin, it took about 3 passes to get the kind of color payoff that you can usually get from a highend blush in a single sweep. I do not consider this a terrible fault, though, at least for me. It is nice not to have to worry about giving yourself clown cheeks. :D And for $3 it really is a steal. 

It applies smoothly and evenly, and is not overly shimmery. Meaning, it does not fall into my pores and highlight them. And It is not a crazy powdery mess (I am looking at you, Nyx blushes)

Throughout the day, it does oxidize a little on me and turn a bit more orange.

Today I woke up super late (like 11:30am >_<) which sucks because the Wolf works nights and goes to bed around 1:30pm, so if I sleep in at all I miss quality time with my honey. *__* Bloombloombloom. I have to run errands today. I never used to dread going out and about, but when the average temperature in Yuma this time of year is STILL 110 degrees, it kind of makes me not want to step a foot outdoors.

I have my battle face on, though. So obviously, I am ready for anything. ;)

I am testing out a new sunscreen from Paula's Choice. It is the Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30. I received it 2 days ago with some other staple goodies from PC. So far, I am looooooving it. In fact, it might even be the first product I review on my blog! :D

Feeling feline. ;D My skin is a little bit irritated today from the Retin-A Micro usage, but my trusty Revlon Colorstay takes care of all the icky redness. Had to take Brutus (my little pompom puppy) to get his puppy shots today. He does not like needles. :(
