Take me out to the ballgame! Wedding

This past weekend one of our closest friends were married. It was such a beautiful wedding and we had such a great time! The wedding had a baseball theme and the little touches were adorable. For the reception they had a waffle bar and I was in love! This is one of the cutest weddings I've ever attended! I'm so happy for the couple and that Matt and I were able to be a part of their big day.

Congratulations again you lovebirds! We wish you a long and happy marriage filled with happiness, success, and babies!!

Product Review: Maybelline Gel Eyeliner


Now I've been using liquid eyeliner since the 8th grade, I prefer a liquid liner that has a felt brush that's skinny and long, but I'm always open to new products. I've heard so much about gel liners, I felt like I was missing out! I just had to try it.  I picked it up a while ago and just recently tested it out in black.


Here's the info about the liner from their site:
• Oil-free formula holds highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base
• Smudge-proof and waterwproof for 24 hours
• Most intense line for lasting drama
• Safe for sensitive eyes and ophthalmologist-tested
• Contact lens safe

In my own experience, here's my summary:

Pros:
• Easy to find and a great price
• The brush it comes with is actually really good. It's small, has a soft, rounded point, and firm bristles
• The black color is very pigmented
• No flaking
• Has a soft finish

Cons:
• This smudged all over my eyelid (I tried it alone and with eyeshadow)
• The finish isn't very intense like a regular liquid gives you (now this may not be a con to some, depending on what you prefer)

Other thoughts of note:
• The liner is easy to apply, but I'm used to using my liquid so it was weird for me to get used to the brush
• I had a difficult time knowing how much product to use, which would come with using it more obviously
• It lasted just as long as my liquid liner

Overall, I'm skipping this and staying with my usual liquid liner (I'm using Maybelline Line Stiletto). I do think that my review is somewhat biased only because I've used liquid for so long. I thought I gave this guy a good chance, I used it for a whole week before I went back to liquid.  If you usually use gel, I would definitely recommend you to try this one. My friends who use gel all enjoyed it (it was from their recs that I bought it!).

Do you wear eyeliner? What kind do you prefer?

Birthday Bash

This past weekend the Hubs and I celebrated our birthday a little early (his is Apr 25 and I'm May 1) at this fun Irish bar called Dillon's. It was such a great time, I wish I had more pictures, but I was too busy having fun to take the time.


Big thanks to everyone who came out! Matt and I had the best time. We're still recovering.
