Chinovi Cosmetics!!

Hola! 

I wanna tell you about Chinovi Cosmetics. I bought a few of her samples when she officially launched her shop, and I am not disappointed. I'm actually making another order for her soon! 

Chinovi has a lot of great color choices, and clearly states on all her products if it is not vegan or not lip safe. I know a lot of people use only vegan products, so it's a great thing to put right on the packaging for everyone. You can choose samples either in baggies or clamshells, or full sizes with or without sifters. prices range from $1 to $5, depending on what you order.

I ordered the "Grand Opening" collection and a few other samples, and Vanessa sent an extra freebie and some candy along with it. My girls devoured the candy for me..lol

I opened my package and found all of this neatly placed in a bright yellow paper bag. Very awesome.

I was kind of rushed when I did this, so the swatches are all on my hand, and I could only get one good pic. Everything is swatched over Tick:Tock Cosmetics Infinity Base in Milky Way. 

These colors are all awesome. My favorites are Divine, Goddess, Welcome, Grand Opening and Funhouse. Even though a couple of them are not "my" colors, I still love them. Everything is super pigmented, with just the right amount of shimmer that my camera refused to catch for you. =(

I really can not wait until I am able to make another purchase!!

Bye Bye Hair!!

Hi!! This is my first post on this blog, and I don't really feel like moving everything else over, so.....this is it!! ha

My name is Kati, I love sparkleeee things, have an amazing husband, 2 adorable daughters, am in school for accounting and work overnights on the weekends in a crappy little hotel. My life isn't glamorous, but I like it.

Sooooo...This post is about my hair. 

My hair!! Soooo long!!!

I decided a few months ago that I needed a cut, but had to wait until after my friend's wedding, and then had to wait for a little while longer, so I had time to think...

Originally I was going to donate it, and then I thought, "I don't want to cut off that much hair!!"

I kept thinking about it, and talking to some people..and the more I thought, the more nervous I got..and the more nervous I got, the more I didn't want to cut it at all...

I got ahold of my friend who said she would cut it for me, and before I knew it, we set a date and time! I was so nervous I could barely sleep that night!! LOL

So that day comes, I get up at the crack of OMG-early because I just couldn't handle it anymore..The sun wasn't even up yet!! 

Well the time came, and I went to her house, and we talked about the things I had been thinking about over the past few months..she set me down in the chair and got to combing through my hair...she put in a pony tail to cut a good chunk off at once..and this is what she handed me.

11 flippin inches of hair!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!

I almost cried. Seriously.

Don't tell anyone though. I also told everyone that I planned on donating it the whole time, even though I wasn't for sure until she cut it all off..lol

So, now that it's all cut off, here's how it looks!!!

Short hairs!!! <3 <3 <3

I'm so happy with it!! This is shorter than I've had my hair in YEARS, but it was so worth it!!

If you've ever thought of donating to Locks of Love or if you would like to help in other ways, please visit their website here!! It is such a wonderful organization designed to help children suffering from long term medical hair loss by providing hairpieces for them. Such a great cause to chop off 10 or more inches of hair!!!
