Hey everyone! I apologize for my complete absence for over two months. I honestly gave up. I didn't mean to or plan to, I just realized one day I had abandoned my blog completely. I'm extremely busy with school as I only have a month left, and I also have a month until I get married! Crazy stuff. But, I'm back now and hopefully I can stick around this time!
While I was away, I had two lovely ladies nominate me for the Liebster award. I am so shocked because I have totally slacked off and probably don't deserve this at all! But, thank you Danielle and Lauren! And a huge thank you to all of you who looked at my blog even while I was gone!
Here are the rules for the Liebster award:
1. You must link back to the blogger who nominated you!
2. Post eleven facts about yourself.
3. Answer the eleven questions the blogger who tagged you has set for you.
4. Create eleven questions for the bloggers you nominate.
5. Choose eleven people with less that 200 followers to give this award to, and tell them on their page.
Facts
1. I am getting married in May, and I have known him since I was 5.
2. My favorite food is pasta.
3. I am in college studying Advertising.
4. I really love broccoli.
5. I have an anxiety disorder.
6. I am only 5' 2".
7. I have a terrible sweet tooth and eat dessert almost every night.
8. I like to exercise but I never actually do it.
9. I am a Christian.
10. I have always gone to private school.
11. I am a complete home body.
Questions
1. Who is your style icon? Good question..
2. Chocolate or Vanilla? Both, swirled!
3. Favourite Make Up item you own? Brow gel! It's my one must have item.
4. If your house was burning down and your family (including pets) were sure to be safe, what are 3 things you would save, and why? My iPad because I paid for it myself. My engagement ring, reason is pretty obvious. My phone to call for help.
5. Favourite music band/artist? Radical Face/Mumford and Sons.
6. Describe your bedroom style. Ecclectic, vintagey, calm
7. One social networking site you go to constantly? Facebook
8. Most used perfume? Marc Jacobs Daisy and Bath and Body Works Lavender Chamomile spray (blogged about it during Christmas)
9. If you could have lunch or dinner with one celebrity, who would it be and why? YouTube celebrities count right? Nikki Phillipi (or Rachel Talbott), because neither of them are afraid to share their faith with their viewers. And they both followed their dream even though it seemed crazy.
10. Favourite Make up brand? I think Rimmel has some really good products, but Mac's eyeshadows and blushes blow others out of the water.
11. Name 2 things on your bucket list, or if you don't have one, 2 things you want to do or accomplish before you die? Have kids. Learn to not be afraid of the way others think about me.

Review: Revlon Nearly Naked
Hi everyone!
So, this week I have been slacking on working out, so I don't have any news there. But what I do have for you, is a makeup review!
I had heard a few good things about Revlon's new Nearly Naked foundation and powder from other bloggers (Nouveau Cheap and Lynette). So I decided to give it a try!
I've only worn the foundation once so far, as I haven't really been out and in need of much coverage. The consistency and coverage are both definitely on the lighter side. It is a nice neutral base color, which I think leans more yellow than pink. I really like that as most other foundations end up looking too redish-orange on me. I purchased the color 130 Shell, which is the third lightest shade.
The staying power was nice, but around 6 hours after applying, I needed to powder again. I do have to admit, I am a tad oily, so 6 hours is a pretty good amount of time for me stay fairly matte.
The powder I purchased in the shade 020 Light Pale. I think this was the second lightest option. I really like the powder so far. It is not cakey, and is almost not "powdery", although that makes no sense as it is a powder? It applies well and doesn't look like you have an overly powdery face.
I tried to swatch it, but it's basically invisible on my skin.
Overall, I am enjoying these products so far. My only problem was a small dry patch on my face that the foundation didn't quite sit right on. But, that's my fault for not using a moisturizer.
Have you tried the new Nearly Naked line? Let me know, what are your favorite drugstore products?
Sincerely, Paige

The right is the full unblended swatch, to the right is a lightly blended strip of the foundation.

Christmas Gifts Galore
Hey everyone!
I'm back with a small post on a few of the beauty/care items I received for Christmas!
Starting in the far left bottom corner is Hugo Naturals Handcrafted Soap in Vanilla and Sweet Orange. I obviously haven't tried it yet, but it smells wonderful! The orange scent is more pronounced, but it is a sweeter, lighter orange than I expected. It is a paraben free soap and vegan and all other sorts of good things! Hugo Naturals has a website at hugonaturals.com where soaps can be found.
Next up, is a Travalo! I've heard of these on YouTube and think they are so cool. You use that pump on the bottom by pressing on the top of a perfume bottle so that you can travel with your favorite scents.
The small glass jar is the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow in Tough as Taupe. This product is a cream shadow. Tough as Taupe is a matte, cool grey color that applies fairly sheer, and will be a good base under other eyeshadows.
The stick in the paper packaging is something I had never seen before. It's called Skinfare. It's claim is that it is a topical skin stick. They even say "apply everywhere you have skin". It is lightly scented, I think this one is a lemongrass based smell. I applied a little on my skin and it really wasn't greasy at all. It's another all natural product. I guess we will see how it works! You can purchase them at skinfare.com
Lastly, are my personal favorites! It is a set of Sleep fragrances from Bath and Body works. I received a matching body mist, shower gel, and lotion, but I believe the fragrance comes in a couple more items. The fragrance is called Lavender Chamomile, but it is the most pleasant lavender scent I have ever come across. It's an extremely clean, fresh smell with an almost powdery quality. I love it and plan on wearing it often!
What did you all get for Christmas? Leave me comments to share your opinions on these products or others I should try!
