Tonight my husband and I went out for dinner and rented “The Blind Side
.” I’m such an emotional person, I cried on and off throughout the entire movie. I am such a crier. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that here before, but I cry at commercials, movies, sad moments, happy moments. I pretty much get teary-eyed at every opportunity. Even seeing someone else cry makes me cry!

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that here before, but I cry at commercials, movies, sad moments, happy moments. I pretty much get teary-eyed at every opportunity. Even seeing someone else cry makes me cry!This morning, I was brave and decided to try something different. Instead of lining my lower lashes with MAC’s “brun” eyeshadow, as I do daily, I decided to dip my brush into MAC’s limited edition (I believe) mineral e/s duo called “Odd Couple.” This is what it looks like:
The purple goes on super bright! I just love it. What a difference it makes. I felt so fun today just having changed that one tiny thing about my makeup!
Here is how it turned out:
I also tried something different with my hair…I made it a bit wavy and added a tiny little braid. I am loving braids right now and want to learn to braid better so I can incorporate more braids into my hair looks.
As for my outfit of the night, I wore one of my new sundresses from Marshalls. I paired it with a Forever 21 belt and necklace and my Michael Kors zipper sandals.
The dress, though a bit too big in the waist area is very cute on! (I have the hot pink in a medium but had to get the black in a large because they were all out.) I think it is super versatile. You can make it longer or shorter depending on how you style it.
Before dinner, I paid my first ever visit to Kiehl’s and I have to say the store was so cute and the sale associate was the sweetest and most helpful guy ever. I LOVE good customer service. I got the avocado eye cream that Lollipop26 (Laura) raves about and also one of the famous lip balms (I got the “pear” flavored one.) I also picked up a sample of their midnight repair oil.
I will report back once I’ve used them both for awhile.
Before I go, I want to RAVE about a toothpaste I’ve been using. I drink 5-6 cups of green tea (or other teas, usually decaf at night) per day. So teeth stains are something I always worry about. I usually whiten my teeth about once a year with my trays. I decided to try the new Crest 3D White toothpaste
they’ve been advertising (along with my Sonicare 
toothbrush) and I must say, I’m impressed! My teeth really do look whiter (and I haven’t whitened them in quite awhile!) BTW- that’s MAC’s “colorcrafted” lipstick I’m wearing.

Love how the bottom liner looks on you! I always love a bit of a change in my make-up routine, might have to give it a shot.
Love the braided look! I've been curious about the Kiehl's eyecream as well – so would love to hear what you think!
The purple is lovely! Really brings out your brown eyes:)
I've been wanting to try a side braid in my hair a la LC! lol It just feels very spring/summery doesn't it?
Love the purple and the braid. The purple makes your eyes pop and the braid is cute—I love the braid trend so much. So beachy chic!
You look great! I love your eyes with the purple.
Isn't the Blind Side a great movie though! I love Kielh's products, I wish I could afford more. I look forward to your thoughts on the ones you purchased!
Your hair looks adorable!
I love that toothpaste too!
Can't wait for your reviews on the Kiehl's goodies.
LOVE, love, love your make-up look and the braid~very fun! Guess we both did purple yesterday!
V! I cried the entire movie too and Chad thinks I am a psychopath!
Love love that we wore the exact same necklace yesterday too! From forever XII, right?
Super cute outfit too!

How cute are you?! Love the braid 🙂 I'm looking forward to hearing more about Kiehl's. Hope you're having a great weekend V!
I love doing a pop of color on my lower lashes like that too! it looks great on you.
the hair looks great with the braid and the slight wave- perfect for summer!
i am definitely going to have to try out that toothpaste! i love the styling of your outfit of the night, and your hair came out adorable with the braid and the slight waves! have a good weekend Veronika.
I love the lipstick! Sooo pretty. I will never whiten my teeth again- I got the Zoom whitening treatment last year in prep for the wedding and holy H it hurt. I'm traumatized! I love the Blind Side. They played it on the plane on our honeymoon and afterwards I told my husband it made me want to adopt!
Ohhh this is a nice inspiring post! I think I will have to try something different with my makeup and hair this weekend. I love being able to re-discover makeup I already have and do a new look from it. And if anything, it makes my husband happy that I'm not out spending more money 😉 Have a great weekend!
