When Life Gets Stressful . . .

It seems that the older we get, the more stressful life gets. Shouldn't it be less stressful because we are growing older and wiser? Or is because we are older and tend to over think things more. How I wish for the days where my biggest concern is weather to play hide and seek or dolls. How can I not care about things that out of my control? It seems my biggest downfall is that I care too much. I worry too much also and it is driving me crazy. The only thing I can do is keep repeating at myself that everything will be okay . . . but what if it isn't? What do I do then?

Makeup Review: BA STAR Smoky Eye Shadow Palette Review

BA STAR Smoky Eye Shadow Palette Review

A few weeks ago I received a sample from BA STAR Makeup to review for all you fabulous bloggers. Including a 50% discount to be used at checkout if you chose to buy something.

Pros: 

Pigmented
Nice Colors
Glitter can be used for dramatic eye looks.

Cons: 

Smell
Glitter

My Opinion:

I use brown eyeshadows the most so when I received this sample with brown neutral colors I was excited because I knew I would be able to use them as everyday looks. I found the eyeshadows to be moderately pigmented and build-able  It was easy to create a neutral smoky eye. The only downside to this palette is the smell. When I first opened the palette the smell of makeup was pretty strong. Luckily it did not last long so by the time I put it on my eyes the smell had diminished. I went to the the products website at http://www.bastar.com/  and saw that they have other products that look good enough to try out such as bronzers and blushers. The best part of this makeup line it is affordable which make it great for girls who are on a budget or starting out with wearing makeup.

Who would like this? 

Because of the glitter I think this palette would be perfect for creating a dramatic look. It be perfect for theater  and dance competitions. The matte colors would be good to use on a everyday basis, as so is the Smoky Palette http://www.bastar.com/category_s/1887.htm. Girls who are on a budget or barely starting to experience with makeup will enjoy this makeup line.
