SCENTBIRD made me buy it…

I was scrolling through Instagram one evening, and this ad kept showing up in my feed. At that time, I really had never had a monthly subscription service, but a new perfume a month? Well, that sounded intriguing. I did a little more searching and several of my favorite YouTubers had videos talking about SCENTBIRD. So, I signed up. Where to start? There were so many scents to try! One scent I kept hearing about was YSL’s Black Opium. So, that was my first choice. When I got the email that my package had been mail, I was so excited. Then, I got the message it had been delivered. I could not wait to get home and open it. It came in the cutest little black bag, and when you open it, there’s a little black velvet pouch that has your perfume in it. It’s the neatest little component, and when you twist the sprayer pops up. That’s when I noticed…I was sent Tom Ford’s Black Orchid 😪. I sent Scentbird an email, and they were so quick to respond, very friendly, and apologetic. They sent me out Black Opium right away. In the meantime, I tried TF Black Orchid…OMG. I loved it instantly. So, I guess I owe Scent bird a big THANK YOU, because I don’t think I would have ever purchased this on my own. So, I’m going to share a few scents that SCENTBIRD made me buy, in a full size…

Tom Ford Black Opium is a rich, sensual, dark, spicy, sexy fragrance. I like to wear this in the fall and winter months. It is one of the longest lasting perfumes that I own. This perfume is what made me fall in love with patchouli.

YSL Black Opium this is a very feminine scent. Which is different for me because most of my scents are unisex. But, the sweet vanilla and rich coffee in this perfume is just so intoxicating…and men absolutely loves this. The only negative thing I can say, is that it’s not very long lasting. But, luckily I still have this in my Scentbird travel component 😘 I’m not sure if Scentbird still offers this scent or not, but if they do…it’s definitely worth picking up.

Malin+Goetz Dark Rum this is a great everyday scent. With the top notes of bergamot, plum, anise. And middle notes of leather, rum, vanilla, And the winding down base notes of patchouli, amber, milk. Makes this a perfect unisex perfume.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb when I first tried this scent, I did not like it. It set at the back of my vanity and I just kinda forgot about it. Then, one day at work…I was talking to a friend and I asked what perfume she was wearing…her response was Flowerbomb. I was shocked! I went home and tried this scent again, I thought…I kinda like it. I don’t know if it was because it was the season or what. But, I fell in love with Flowerbomb. It was floral, and I can smell the rose and jasmine, but the vanilla and patchouli is what I love. I love it so much that I bought the 3.4 oz perfume, body lotion. and the hair mist.

Thierry Mugler Angel this is a very unique fragrance in my collection. And if someone is wearing this perfume, I instantly know what it is. It’s a very warm and cozy scent, it must be the chocolate and honey notes that make me feel like that. A little goes a long way with this perfume. But it’s so perfect for fall nights sitting around outside when it starts to get cooler.

Buy💸💸💸…or bye👋🏼✋🏼👋🏼

Who can keep up with all the new releases? I literally find myself adding everything to my cart. Recently, I’ve put myself on a “low buy” or “no buy”. I’ve done really well…so far. I have to admit, there’s been a couple of things that’s caught my eye…

Let’s start with Colourpop…it’s the brand that never sleeps…they have more releases than I have shoes…but, this…this has caught my eye. Pretty Fresh HYALURONIC ACID Tinted Moisturizer. This is available in 24 shades for $14! There’s also a primer and setting spray. This is very interesting to me, so definitely buy 💸💸💸
Another brand that has been releasing left and right is Anastasia Beverly Hills, I did purchase the Volume 1 palette…and it is beautiful. It’s pigmented and blends like a dream. Then, I saw the next releases, I’ll admit that Volume 2 is pretty, BUT I have Jeffree Star’s Blue Blood palette, and really…how blue palettes does a girl need? BUT, Volume 3…OMG! That palette, THAT PALETTE…is gorgeous. And I am seriously considering buying 💸💸💸 that palette. The glitters are nice, but I just received a few Colourpop glitters and I really like them. So for Volume 2 and the glitter from ABH it’s a bye 👋🏼 from me.
Buy💸💸💸

Huda’s Power Bullets are my favorite bullet lipstick…EVER. And, the colors…scream my name
I love Dior…but this is a bye 👋🏼 for me…I have so many liquid highlighters that I am trying to use, and this is just something that really doesn’t catch my eye. After receiving my new Natasha Denona palette, this Dior palette just does nothing for me.
Idôle Eau De Parfum by Lancôme.


FRESH FLORAL
Top Notes: Bergamot (Citrus),Juicy Pear, Pink Peppercorn
Middle Notes: Rose and Jasmine
Bottom Notes: White Musk, Vanilla, Patchouli, Cedarwood

This sounds like heaven, but I think I’ll wait until Spring to purchase this…the notes scream Springtime to me. 💸💸💸
Briogeo, I have color treated hair. So, I will take all the help that I can get. The past year, I have started using skincare that has honey in it. And I love it! I think it would be great for my hair as well!!! 💸💸💸

Oh my goodness…Pat McGRATH Labs…there’s 3 brands that I have to talk myself out of purchasing everything that is released. And Mother Pat is one of them. For now, this is bye 👋🏼✋🏼 for me…however, I do reserve m right to change my mind at any time😂😂😂

Those are just a few new release that has caught my eye, what are you planning on buying??? Or, are you resisting and saying bye 👋🏼. Please, let me know❤️❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️

It’s Fall, Y’all…

This is definitely not makeup related…but it sure is beautiful…and just a little bonus cuteness is my #Calico #bobtail #Cat #Callie #CallieTheCalico.

Callie loves to chase the leaves as they fall from the trees, and I love to watch her, lol.

#HomeSweetHome #Alabama #LifeInJacksonCo #ThatGlamGirlNextDoor

#Fall in #Alabama, is really not “Fall”. I’m ready to wear my boots, leggings scarves, and sweaters. But, it’s been 90+ all week. Hopefully, in a few weeks we can break out the fall wardrobe. In the mean time, I’ll enjoy the falling leaves, sipping my #pumpkinspiceketocoffee and swatting the skeeters away, so I can sit outside for a spell. Oh, and I almost forgot #RollTide y’all!

Project pan…

Recently, I have been decluttering, and de stashing my stash. I’ve thrown a lot away, I’ve posted several items on my Poshmark, but there’s a few things that I love, and kinda got lost with all the new things that I’ve bought. So, I’ve decided to try #ProjectPan. I love these items, and they just got push to the back to the draw and forgotten.

Let’s start with Hourglass, I love this brand. The packaging, the product, and they are cruelty free. This is the first “stick” foundation that I truly love. And when the highlighters came out, I had to have them. I am a dewy, medium coverage foundation girl…and this is a pretty full coverage foundation. So I like to mix the highlighter and foundation on the face at the same time, and a little oil just to make it less coverage. Would I repurchase? Yes, I actually have a vanish stick foundation backup ☺️. But, I don’t think that I would repurchase the highlighter, it’s lovely…and I do like a cream highlighter. I just have found others that I like more.
YSL Touché Eclat All In One Glow. This is a tinted moisturizer, that has a light to buildable medium coverage. This is very hydrating on the skin and has a beautiful luminous natural finish. Would I repurchase, yes…I think it’s a perfect summertime foundation and it has a SPF23.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand in fair/medium. I LOVE this for contouring. The color is the perfect cool tone for me. I know a lot of people don’t like the packaging, I personally don’t mind it. It’s easy to use, no mess, and a little goes a long way. Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have a backup of this.
Fenty Beauty’s Diamond Bomb. First of all, the packaging is gorgeous. And the product is just a pretty. It’s a putty? Jelly? Type formula, that literally melts into your skin. This is glitter, but in the best possible way. It’s beautiful, it’s lovely, and I need this in my life. Yes, I already have a backup (maybe 2) 😂
Natasha Denona Super Glow In #1 Fair. This is an intense highlighter. And I love it! I also have it in shade #2, and it’s nice…but not as intense at #1. ND is probably my favorite brand, everything I have tried is amazing. And this is no exception. Yes, I have already repurchased.
Colourpop, what can I say? I love them. The products are great quality for a reasonable price. The super shock highlighters are amazing, and blinding. On the Cusp and Flexitarian (I couldn’t find mine) are my favorites. And I have already repurchased 😂
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder. I really like this. It’s my 2nd one that I have purchased. It’s very finely milled and doesn’t set in my fine lines. Would I repurchase? I’m not sure? I have several other powders (including CT’s loose powder) that I really am loving at this time.
Sol De Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum cream. This is a must have, it’s delicious…hydrating…I don’t know that I think it does anything for cellulite, but it is delish 😂😂😂. Yes, I have repurchased this and will continue to do so.

So, there’s my few project pans picks…I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and what you are panning!

So who am I?

I have to admit, I have spent the the last few years asking my self that same question…first and most important, I am a mom. My son is 18, just graduated high school. He’s is in college now, spending most of his time with his girlfriend and friends…enjoying life and not a care in this world. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am also a wife, a fairly new wife. We’ve been married almost 2 years. We’ve had our ups and downs, with us having a “blended family” but there’s not a doubt in my mind that he is the love of my life. And, I love makeup, skincare, perfume, fashion…I could go on and on…but, I think you get the idea. And, I am a Keto newbie.
