THIS IS WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN YOU LIKE A GUY!

I have been seeing a lot of Boyfriend/Girlfriend drama around me lately. I am not perfect or in a perfect relationship, but i have been married for a long, long time(over 15 yrs.), so maybe I can give a few tips on what Not to do, so you don't scare your BF/GF away.

1.Don't text him obsessively, no matter how much you want him to talk to you. You look like a clingy/needy person, which to him looks like your a High maintenance person.

2.Don't tell lies weather it's the 1st date or 21st date. You become the untrustworthy liar. All lies come out. You may lose this person if you told a lie early on & now your serious & the lie is exposed.

3. I don't understand how someone tells the other person they want a long term relationship when it's the 1st or 2nd date. He'll run so fast.

4. Don't talk about your EX anything, BF, husband, friend, or boss. You'll look angry or stuck in the past.

5. Don't expect to see him everyday when you first start dating or to talk everyday. Another sign of a clinger or stalker.

6. Don't keep asking why he didn't call or ask you out again, I think you know why.

7. Don't talk on the phone/text while your w/ him. I see people doing this more than actually being on a date.

8. If you have kids, tell them right away. You don't want to keep it a secret because if they don't like kids, they will leave no matter how much they like you.

Most important: Be mysterious, don't be so accessible to him. Don't put all your hopes on a guy you just met. The less expectations you have, the better chance you have of this relationship working.

This is just my opinion on what I've been seeing with all my friends lately & what my advice has been. It doesn't matter if your 18 or 35, I think this is universal.

What is some of your best advice?

NEW FAVORITE CHEAP LIPGLOSS

I LOVE this lip gloss. It's Bonnie Bell lip Lites in Cappuccino. Sccastaneda on YT mentioned it was her long time favorite, & when I saw it for $3.50, I was sold.

It's not sticky or gooey. It's very pigmented, but feels light. The smell is a bit strong, French Vanilla, but it fades.

There are 2 things I love most about this.

1. The color of this to me looks like liquid form of Mac Blankety. Smokey light pink.

(L) lip Lites cappuccino (R) Mac Blankety lipstick
2. This sinks into your lips & it's so moisturizing, which a lip gloss really isn't. The staying power is amazing. Your lips feel soft even when the gloss has faded.

Bonnie Bell reminds me of the years when I first started wearing makeup. The first lipstick I bought was, I think by Cover Girl in Ice Blue Pink.

What was your first makeup product you bought?

E.L.F GET THE LOOK EYES +swatches

I found this E.L.F. get the look eyes kit at Ross for $6. I know they have Ross on both west/east coast. I have been loving the E.L.F. eye shadows. This is the purple look.

This is what you get:

These are the eye shadows, but they have no names, sorry.
Very pigmented
The top is the eye liner in purple & the bottom is the Mac Purple Grease Paint Stick. The Mac has awesome staying power, but this is an awesome color dupe.
I have a couple of orders coming from E.L.F. & a couple of clothes hauls in the near future.

So what is your best E.L.F. product? Best makeup dupe? I love heap dupes!

LOOK WHAT'S FOR DINNER

Went for Italian with my family at Roman Cucina in Costa Mesa, Ca. They have a couple of locations in SoCal. The place has a great feeling with the big black booths & old family pics on the walls, but a metro feel. The drinks are strong & 1/2 off Martini Monday!!

I ordered Steak Milanese in a freshly baked baguette w/the house salad on top. This is what my sandwhich looked like-Huge & Yummy!!

The hubby had lasagna w/meat sauce, also delish & huge.

We love italian food, but it's so hard to find GOOD italian in orange county.

What's you favorite italian dish? Any suggestions for good Italian in SoCal?

NYX LIP GLOSS

I picked up these 2 lip glosses at one of my neighborhood stores. It's a mom/pop kind of place, but they carry NYX. They're $3 & they actually had testers, how exciting.

L-R Smokey Look & French Kiss

I love a product that's cheap & pigmented.

L-R French Kiss & Smokey Look

These glosses are thick, so when you put them on they give you the pouty look. Smokey Look looks like a better version of Mac Love Nectar. I'm not a huge gloss girl, but I feel it's OK for me to get them for the price. Addiction ladies & gents is hard.

I've started Xmas shopping, so expect some hauls coming up.

What other NYX gloss do you recommend? Or any cheap lipstick or gloss?

E.L.F BEAUTY ENCYCLOPEDIA UPDATE+ GOOD CHEAP TARGET BRUSHES

This is a quick review & update on the E.L.F. beauty encyclopedia eyes at Target. It's the best $5 I have spent. I use this EVERYDAY, & use it at night the times I have gone out. I'm getting one for my mom, cousin, friend, & anyone I think would like one. The colors are rich, soft, pigmented,& blendable. Both my targets have been sold out of them, so I keep looking. I even use the little brush for my outer corner. The colors are a bit powdery, but not cheap looking. I wanted to post this for those of you who are thinking of getting this.

Also, while I was at Target i picked up some great brushes. The top one is the E.L.F. shadow brush & the next 2 are from the studio line that are $2, & the last one is from the E.L.F. palette.

The first 2 are the $2 ones. The larger one is great for packing on color & great at blending. I use the smaller one for the outer corners or under the lower lash line.
The one on the left is the E.L.F. shadow brush from target & the other is from my online order. The Target brush reminds me of the Mac 239. The bristles are shorter & rounder & perfect for the lid.
So, those are my great cheap finds at Target this week. E.L.F. is really doing some great things.

What are your great finds? Have you tried any of the Target products? What do you think of sponge applicators?
