Oh the holidays!

Yeah, pretty self explanatory. The holidays make it busier then ever for me, and lets not forget that I am trying to prepare myself and our daughter for the upcoming departure of my husband to his next duty station in January. Having some issues with paperwork and baby daddy drama, but that's okay because I can get done what I need to. Do I have more reviews coming? Yes. When? I am not sure yet. Please though, whatever little readers I have out there, don't leave me! I also want to wish those who celebrate it a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Always be thankful for what you have no matter how little it may seem, it's the small things that count. Also, always be thankful for your loved ones in your life, even if you don't get along. You never know when you won't be able to see them again and tell them things you want to.  On another end note, Gobble till you Wobble Y'all!

Absentee

So, I guess maybe from time to time I get pretty overwhelmed and busy whether it be mentally of physically. Trying to do posts close together is a bit of a challenge. There is a lot going on for my family and I, but its like with a 3 soon to be 4 year old when isn't it? To add even more to the busyness my husband is going to start clearing from our base soon (Less than a week away!), and I may not see much of him for the 10 days hes taking for it. He put in for leave to spend extra time with our daughter and I before he leaves in January for a year. That is going to be tough and a huge test for us as a family and a couple. We've been through so much already since we got together, and even more so after we got married, its like "when are we going to get a break?!" I wouldn't change  it though because even though its been tough, its what has been working for us.

I guess my blog may shift from the reviews to some personal posts as well, which I hope with what little readers I have they won't mind. I may also post some activities and crafts I will do and will be doing with my daughter to help us pass the time of daddy being gone. I'm working hard to get her back in daycare for a short few months so she can get used to being away from me, being independent, and making new friends, then not long after that I hope she gets picked from the lottery to enter Pre-K. Here in Georgia the Pre-K is lottery funded so that it can be free for the kids to go to school. Problem? Its like a lottery itself. They do drawings to pick names of those who will be in the classes at a daycare or school. Also, she will be starting a little later than most of her peers because shes a December baby and was born after the September birthday deadline. She's wonderfully smart and I know she will be just fine and learn so much.

Well, that is my  update for now. I guess this post was more of a "I need to get this stuff off my chest" thing. 

New VoxBox Surprise

I recieved that well awaited and over joyed arrival of my new Voxbox and had the expectations of how it should be like my last two. Let's just say, I was definitely surprised in a good and bad way. Always good because I get full products to try and review.

Well, you may be asking yourself, what could the bad part possibly be? Instead of having a few items to test, this box only contained one!

So, the product I was given to test is from Rimmel, and it is their Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. It claims to be a "break through feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture, that is never heavy or greasy" (Awesome because most foundation are just that, heavy and greasy) It also claims to deliver "all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish, and also minimizes the appearance of pores" (Hey! Even better!)

I am very picky about foundations because I tend to have combination skin where in some areas im oily and others i'm dry, and with a foundation it shows the dry spots very well by turning out to be flaky. The product is light weight, which I enjoyed, but it did do the foundation flaky thing. Which is why I prefer using a BB cream. (Which by the way I am still using and in love with Olay's fresh effects BB cream I received in my last box.)

However, all in all, it is a good product and pretty much does what it claims to do.
