MAC C-Thru Lipglass Review & swatches
Mac's C-Thru gloss is probably one of my all time favourites. It's just one of those colours that makes your lips look more luscious and plump. The creamy light nude gloss just melts into every lip colour so effortlessly, it really wears beautifully. My only problem with this gloss is that it is on the sticky side and as much as I love the vanilla scent it tends to go wonky rather quickly.
My overall rating is a 8.5/10. If you love a nice nude gloss and don't mind a gloss that's a bit tacky then I highly recommend checking this one out :)

Goals for the next few years
Everyone always focuses on yearly goals however I think it's important to figure out what you want to happen within the next 3-5 years. That way your working towards things you want to achieve in a larger time frame and you can even switch them up if needed. Here are my goals.
2015. Save for a new car and get my daughter a grown up bed. I think kids should have a grown up bed when they are around 2.
2016. Get a new car and have a family vaca at the falls or in cottage country and hopefully move into a larger place.
2017. Leave Canada for the first time! Devon already has but I have not :( I'm not sure where I want to go yet but I would like to go for 3-4 days.
2017-2018. Decide if I'm really done having kids. At the moment I'm not sure to be honest. So during this time I want to decide and of course it won't just be up to me. I'm sure by then I will miss having a baby but I'm just not sure what our life will be like by then so I can't say for sure. Things can change a lot in just a few years but it is something I've been thinking about.
Anyways those are my goals for the next few years :) I'm hoping to accomplish them all. It will be neat to look back in a few years and see if I did do them all or if any of them were switched up or prolonged.
To those that are waiting for a makeup post I will have up one sometime this week. I think I'm going to do a tag next. Anyways here is a picture of some cute rings I got at forever 21 for only $4!

Tips for coping with wisdom teeth extraction
Tips for coping with wisdom teeth extraction
This is a little different from what I normally blog about but I think this will be very helpful for anyone that is expecting going through something similar especially busy lady's like myself.
1 Shop ahead of time for products that you don't have to chew like smoothie mix, milkshake ingredients, soup, apple sauce ect...
2 Put away some money, just incase you don't feel like making something ie I got my boyfriend to get me mashed potatoes from KFC.
3 Be prepared to bleed for awhile after the surgery. I recommended booger wipes because they will gently wipe away blood and keep a little pack of tissues with you because you will probably have bloody drool for awhile, hours at least.
4 Bring lip balm, my lips were soooo chapped after the surgery.
5 Listen to your dentist and take pain medication as required. I'm to take Advil for a week straight, 4 times a day to prevent infection.
6 If your like me and the corner/s of your mouth get injured and scab up just put some Argan oil on them. This will soothe the area and by the 2nd or 3rd day it should be returning back to normal.
7 Take some time off of work to recover. If your a stay at home mom like myself and you have a significant other get then to help out more.
8 When you wash your face be extra gentle the same goes for when you brush your teeth. I recommend using a extra strength cleanser and less toothpaste.
9 Try to sleep good, a good sleep well help you heal faster.
10 Last but not least just remember it won't last long and in no time you will be back to normal! I will update when I start feeling no pain and can eat normal again. So far it has been 3 days and I have been talking pretty good, and eating soft moods. Keep in mind so far I have only has my bottom left wisdom tooth removed.

Too faced Melted Fuchsia Review
I was so excited that my mouth has started to heal, a lot of damage was done after having a wisdom tooth removed. So I had to wait a few days for the outside corner of my lips to start looking normal.
BTW I might do a post on how to cope and still look good and feel good because it is pretty tough especially when your a busy lady like myself.
Anyways on to the review.
Application of the product is nice. It's a creamy but thin consistency and a little goes a long way. The application is nice and even. I like the packaging it's very cute and practical. The scent is a little off putting, think chemical cotton candy. I am very scent sensitive however this did not bother me because it is light and fades quickly. I found this wore pretty well even when I was drinking and eating, much better then most lipsticks however it is very smudge-able.
My overall rating for two faced melted lipsticks is a 9.5 out of 10. I really love this product, the colours are nice but I would love to see more! I think a dark raspberry, peach and a light nude would be stunning so fingers crossed for more.

Some kind-a gorgeous by Benefit Review
I decided to do a quick review for you guys. The some kind-a gorgeous is basically a foundation that drys to a satin powder finish. It has a very soft almost greasy texture. It applies well with finger tips. This product did not work out for me I found it didn't wear well on my oily skin and I wasn't a fan of the chemically smell. I did breakout while I tested this product.
Overall I rate it a 6.5 out of 10. It's ok but I expect more from a high end brand.
