Ever since discovering NYX eye shadow over a year ago, I've been hooked. So hooked that I consistently choose it over all other eye shadows I own, including MAC. The formula is a fantastic, it goes on smoothly and lasts. The variety of colours is excellent, and they run about $7 each (at drugstores). I ran out of my favourite colour ('Ultimatum') about a month ago and have been using a combination of what I already have, as they'd been sold out when I tried to replenish my stash earlier. I popped into the store to pick it up and was on the hunt for a cool, grey-silvery shadow. Mission accomplished (and the grey goes on exactly how it looks in the pictures, it's perfect and exactly what I was looking for) and while there I picked up a sweet baby pink shadow too. Bonus, all the shadows were $2 off - score.

First outfit post of the new year! Ya! So I figured I'd put this post to good use and offer up an outfit post, finally, and list out my resolutions. I'm not really one for resolutions, I used to make them when I was younger and of course, never follow through with them, leading to a year of un-crossed off items and disappointment. This year, I'm going to partake, but only in a half-assed way. Resolutions? Not necessarily. Things I enjoy and would like to accomplish? Yes.
* Wear more lipstick (on weekends, especially) - why not? I currently never wear lipstick, always gloss, but you know what? Lipstick is fun and I'm going to incorporate it into my make-up looks.
* Continue to step outside of my fashion 'box' - when helping style my friends, I always encourage them to step outside of their personal fashion box. This means, trying anything and everything on, keeping an open mind and not turning up your nose at something that might seem outrageous (outrageous to you, courageous to me).
* Meet at least two blogger friends. I'm assuming this will be Emily & Kara as they both live relatively close, but who knows (Jamie & Sharon are top on my international list).
* Buy an SLR camera (I'm debating between a Canon & Nikon - suggestions?).
* Teach myself more HTML and advance my skills - this is mainly to help me blog better. HTML annoys the F out of me, but it can be so rewarding, so wish me luck.

Back at the end of November I entered Natalie's give-away to win three beautiful gold necklaces from Emily Elizabeth Jewelry. I was so ecstatic to open her blog a couple weeks later to discover I won! IMy package finally arrived yesterday and I tore it open to find the three beautiful necklaces you see above, inscribed with, 'Faith, Hope, Love'. The necklaces can be worn separately or together cohesively. I will certainly be getting a ton of wear out of them so thank you so much Emily Elizabeth Jewelry and Natalie's Sentiments!
