to VLOG or not to VLOG.. THAT my sistahs is the question…

YOU can let me know… aside from a DESPERATE need to go to the hairdresser.. and a DESPERATE need to learn how to EDIT.. and a DESPERATE NEED to lose weight LOL (that will be another VLOG).. let me know if you like this format?  Of course I will write as well.. but this was kinda fun…

Oh and the mentioned PINEAPPLE? you can’t so much see it in the video…

ok and the CPS comment?  please pretend you never heard that..LOL.  and also please remember that da BELLA has no FILTAH so what you see is what you get.. and honestly? Jayden knows more than her name and Dena’s name..LOL

Oh and also?  This is new TRIAL  software I tried out so you see the watermark through the whole thing.

What a disaster.

*sigh*

mwah mwah mwah!

the eternal search for da JLO GLO…

Hiya sistahs!  hope your week is going well so far…  We are in a HEAT WAVE here… thank goodness for air conditioning!

Ok, so this post really isn’t about card making or journaling or mixed media or scrapbooking.  It’s about the NEXT best thing of course!  MAKEUP.  YUP.  MAKEUP.  I am SO thankful that American Idol is over so I don’t have to stare at JLO any more…LOL.  She is stunningly beautiful.. I mean that skin!  IMPECCABLE!

And that is when the QUEST OBSSESSION began.  The quest to look GLOWY.  to look DEWY… to look FRESH.. basically to look like JLO..LOL.

So Helenabella decided that she wanted to join me in this journey obssession… and so it started.

me: Helen, want me to look for glowy stuff online for us so we can look like JLO?

Helen: yup.. let me know where to pick the stuff up and I will be there… LOL

so this was our first product bought

worked pretty well but we weren’t J-LOey enough (LOL) (and I didn’t want to admit it but wasn’t sure which layer on my face this went on… over the foundation? under the moisturizer? over the moisturizer? under the blush? LOL)… Helen immediately left to purchase these for us.. it was so funny.. I could see the dust under her shoeZZZZ!

So Helen and I accepted our GLOW with this product for a while but we still secretly tried other products… shhhhhh

I went to Mac and I found the PEARL cream BASE that I Was told can go on cheeks to highlight on eyebrows etc

this worked pretty well but still needed more of a glow..

so THEN I discovered at MAC something NEW and glowy…

it’s this LIQUID POWDER which I absolutely ADORE.. it’s dry but it feels cool and wet when you put it on as it is made with 70% water… OHHH I LOOOOOOOVE IT!!! and I KNOW to put this over my foundation 😉

but FIRST I found a foundation BOOSTER that gives you a glow too!! also from Mac  just mix a few drops for more DEW… these are called LUSTRE DROPS.. LOVE THEM

Ok… so you should probably be able to SLIDE off my face from a glo..LOL

Then, helenabella texted me that I have to buy a new GLOWY eyeshadow available in 16 colours…..GRRRR

BIG BOUNCE eyeshadows…

Why is makeup, cardstock, paint, stamps, glue, patterned paper,  accessories, embellishments etcc

*sigh*

Mwah to my sistahs who love the same stuff as me…..

it’s MIXED MEDIA TOOSDAY.. get a venti nonfat americano misto with 3 sweet n lows and relax :)

please excuse the condition of my hands… this is what happens when you get “down and dirty”… I recommend using a Barrier Cream.. (invisible care, gloves in a bottle are a few creams).. these protect your hands and make for easy cleanup!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with mixed media right now.. I can hide in my basement AHEM studio and forget about life outside..LOL… so take a looky at part 2 and 3 of our mixed media extravaganza and let me know what you think!

don’t forget to place a comment on the post below for a chance to win $10 in Bella BUCKEROONIS and NEXT WEEK’S THEME is father’s day or masculine card using our stamps!

Now a shout out to all da sistahs from JESSABELLA!

Sistahs, we thought we’d have some fun not only every Friday for our beloved Bella-riffic challenges, but also to throw out a little extra fun for those valued members of our Forumabella, so beginning today, and every month on the 15th thereafter, there is MORE fun to be had in Bella-land!

Our kick-off challenge for MAY is a Bella “BABE” challenge: to use Bellas And Bring on the Embellishments!

Any embellishments will do, as long as you use more than one!  We want to see you guys have FUN with this- pull out your favorites from your stash…or perhaps something fabulous you just got?  There are no rules other than that, and you MUST use Stamping Bella Stamps!   The PRIZE is a $20 gift voucher that will be awarded to ONE lucky participant and will be randomly drawn at the end of the challenge!

You have until June 14th at NOON CST to link up your creations on the new thread in our Forumabella...so good luck and can’t WAIT to see your “BABE” projects!”
have a PHENOM weekend sistahs

mwah mwah mwah!
