A Great Day and New Stuff!

So, yesterday was such a great day for me that I forgot to blog...and I didn't have time to blog.  What made it so good?  Well, I had finally received a package that I've been anxiously waiting for for almost a week.  I was mainly anxious because it wasn't until after the package had been sent that I realized the address was wrong.  Luckily, it still came without a hitch!  Another reason why yesterday was good was because it was my dad's birthday dinner.  Granted his birthday was on Tuesday, but he was just so busy that there wouldn't have been a way for him to eat before 8pm.  So just about a week of planning had finally paid off.  I cooked a honey baked ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, apple salad, and pineapple upside down cake.  There was nothing left of the potatoes and about a serving left of the apple salad (until I got ahold of it).  Aunts and Uncles came along with some munchkin cousins and everyone left stuffed. Mission accomplished.
Back to the package though.  I'm ooberly excited about this thing.  Currently, I'm in Utah with my dad and I have been here for a month and a half.  I traveled light so all the makeup I had with me was foundation, concealer, powder, three eye shadow colors, eyeliner, mascara, lip balm, and lip gloss.  Now, I normally have a slough of eye shadows in a bunch of colors so being stuck with black, gray, and white gets a little dull and boring.  To relieve me from this dullness, I ordered an eyeshadow palette with 168 colors for less than $20!  I was also suffering from separation anxiety with my brushes.  I only brought 5 brushes and one of them I didn't even plan on bringing and haven't used it since I've been here.  Along with the eye shadow, I also got a 24 piece brush set for $11.  I haven't used the brushes yet, but so far they seem alright.  Of course, with every brush, there's going to be some shedding and that's what happened.  It was mainly the face brushes though and especially the blush brush.  It was like a cat with the shedding!  At least the brush kept it's shape and looks to still be useable.  Unfortunately, one of the brushes broke while I was doing the pre-use cleaning.  I'm not going to make a big fuss about it because it's one that I already have a few of so no biggy.  I've already used three colors from the eye shadow and WOW!  Talk about bold, vibrant color!  So, hopefully with these new things, I'll be more motivated to do some eye shadow vlogs.  Fingers crossed!
