NARS

I should cut down on my shopping because my bank account has really been taking a beating. But let me tell you a few things that I'v purchased. One being my first Nars sheer glow liquid Foundation, in Monte Blonc. I naturally have combination dryer skin, so I didn't want to go Matte. That would have made my face patchy and really unflattering.

So I went to Sephora decided Monte Blonc was my perfect color and purchased it. The Sephora I went to didn't have any pumps. So immediately I went online to order it, and the Sephora website let me down. I had to order it from the Nars website which not a big deal, just had to pay a shipping fee.

While perusing the Nars website I found this palette called Fairy's kiss. This is where i ended up spend way to much money.



It was a battle within myself to either pick something from the Mac online site or Nars for my next eye shadow purchase. I chose the Nars Palette because it is a limited edition and had a lovely selection of colors. I also trust that Nars eye shadows are nicely pigmented. The set comes with 6 colors great for fall/ Autumn and even going into winter.
Top Row(L-R): Manosque (Limited Edition), Kalahari, Brousse
Bottom Row(L-R): Tokyo, Brumes, Pandora


I found I'm a sucker for names and branding/packaging of all products Fairy's kiss was one of those products. And Nars Products are not the only Makeup thing I'v purchased for this month. Its just a small part of what I'v ordered.... I did end up buying 3 things from Sephora, 2 of which are going to be gifts. But I'm still really pleased with everything.

I'm really loving how my collection has grown to a counter top full of lovely things in just a few months. I think I'm going to continue to repurchasing the liquid glow foundation because its my new love. I'll Always go back to my Favorite Clinque Foundation but I needed a change, and this was perfect.

Thank you for reading my extremely long blog post about my rambling

INTRODUCING ME: 15 facts



Here is a picture of myself with hardly any makeup on, and I cut my hair sense this picture. But enjoy my face.

I was going threw my posts and realized I never properly introduced myself on my blog, so Hi, my name is Iris (like the flower, or part of the eye). I believe in Greek it's rainbow, or rainbow like appearance. I personally love my name, and very rarely find another person with the same name. I always receive complements so having a unique name makes me happy and feel special.

But that was me rambling, so I want to tell you a few things about myself. I did this post like a 15 facts about me type setup. If anyone has any questions or wants me to go more into detail I'll be happy to answer any questions or comments.

1. My favorite color is purple, shocker.
2. My favorite desert is a Italian Connolli (unsure about the spelling)
3. I wear size 7 US shoes
4. I have hazel eyes, that sometimes go deep green, or dark blue, I even have orange speckles.
5. I've had short hair once and will forever have long hair now,  because I cried for weeks about it
6. I rarely eat meat, but if I do it's usually bird (chicken or turkey)
7. I'm a carbolic. I can eat bread everyday and be happy about it.
8. I have naturally curly wavy hair, and only straighten my hair 6-7 times a year
9. Apple products fan girl, but I'm not against using windows or PC whatever it is
10. I don't like being in crowded public places.
11. I have dyslexia, where I mix up letters and numbers, that makes it really hard to read and write...
12. But somehow I always managed to get A's and B's in school.
13. I once saved a building and everyone in it, because I stopped a gas leak.
14. I've been loving makeup but only as I've gotten older, when I was younger I hated it
15. And lastly I'm overly sensitive to everything, which can be a blessing and a curse.

Thank you for reading my blog post about myself. I'll say it again, but if you have any questions feel free to ask or comment. I'd love some feedback, I'm really wondering if anyone likes my posts. But I'm mainly doing it for myself 

I do have links:
I'm trying to use YouTube Instagram and tumblr more often but I do tweet almost daily now.
Who knows maybe I'll even try making a video soon!
Again thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day or night (depending on when you read this)

AUTUMN SENTS and HAUL

These are a few things that iv started my October out with.











The First 2 Candle pictures, I got in a little boutique Called Blue House Boutique in Arizona, down town Glendale (link Below). Its such an amazing little shop that might get over looked because its well hidden but so cute and worth finding. The Boutique sells more than just Candles, I also got a car smelly (not Pictured), they also sell jewelry, furniture, and other nick' nacks. The candles are form Bridgewater Candle Company, and for every candle purchased, Bridgewater candle company makes a donation to feed one orphan child for a day. The fragrance I have is the Autumn fragrance called "Hayride." Its sent is so warm and amazing, and its lasted a whole day none stop burning like a champ!

The other 3 Candle aren't as fancy, because I got them at Walmart. Shocker. But I was browsing the candle section and came across 2 BetterHomes candles, Simmering Apple Cider and Iced Carrot Cake, that make my home spell so yummy. They are Both Limited Edition Candle just for this time of year so I had to grab them while I could. The brown colored one is called "Rustic Retreat" from MAINSTAYS I think. Its smell is more earthy but still really warm and homy. I keep Simmering Apple Cider and Hayride in my bed room, while Iced Carrot Cake and Rustic Retreat are placed around my home, like dining room and front entrance.

I also got Halloween treats! Oreo Ice Cream, And Orange filled Oreos. I hope these are just the start of the candy yumminess of halloween that Im going to get durning this month. These are limited time only foods obviously. Most likely you could find them in a local Grocery Store and if not always ask if they can order some in. Never hurts to ask.

Then we come to the Adorable Kitten Pictures. I got a kitten about in July 2013, Gray and White fluffy little baby only a few days old. Now you're probably thinking this is not the kitten in the pictures. Well its not the same kitten at all. My mom was jealous of my little fluff ball that she also wanted one of her own. The kitten in the Pictures is hers. It is a Girl, Tri-colored Orange, Black, and White, and Her name is Pumpkin. Its almost to perfect of a name for her, and she is still a kitten after all.

Last but not least I went shopping at H&M. I didn't get much, just a simple oatmeal colored knitted beanie. Its super soft and warm, covers my hair on those not to good hair days. I'm luckily blessed with naturally wavy/curly hair, So bad hair day rarely happen, but they still happen. I really love this hat and have only had it a few days.

I'm not endorsed by any of the products I'v mentioned, I'm just sharing the things I'v enjoyed so far this month. If you end you liking any of the things I'v shared please let me know. I love writing about the stuff I like using and stuff that makes me happy.
