Beauty Holy Grail: Makeup Remover


Hello Loves!! I pray you are having the most of joyous days. So today I am sharing the first of the products in my Beauty Holy Grail Series. This product was an easy one for me. This is a trusty make up remover.

Sephora’s SUPREME CLEANSING OIL!



I love love love it! It truly removes all my make up. Literally, it melts off. And it does not dry off my face.
This product ladies is A-MAZE-BALLS!!! It takes off even the hardest to remove mascara and eye makeup. It is a cleansing oil. It works as you put it on your dry face. Massage and then rinse. Then follow up with your night time cleansing routine…

The Sephora Supreme Cleansing Oil retails at $14.00.  Exclusively at Sephora!

I hope you check it out.

Love and Blessings,
Carlise

Intro to Finding my Beauty Up Holy Grail Series


Hello Loves! I am starting a new series called Finding the Holy Grails of Makeup. I am so excited about this. As anyone knows me, knows I love trying makeup out and different colors and products. But sometimes a girl just needs the trusty, never fail products, that no matter what, you know will look good on you. On this quest, I need to try as many as possible. So needless to say, Sephora samples are my friends.  I will go through each category of make up. Then at the end, put all of these “Holy Grails’ or HG’s as I will call them in one makeup bag. I may do a giveaway at the end with a customized bag of my HG’s for a lucky reader! Ok Sounds fun.

As a mom, I some days don’t have time to play with my makeup. Some days I don’t  want to have to think about it….so I want to just have the fail safes to go to automatically. The areas I will be finding my HG’s are:  

·         Primer

·         Foundation

·         Powder

·         Bronzer

·         Blush

·         Highlighter

·         Eyeshadow-which will be a palette

·         Eyeshadow primer

·         Eye Liner

·         Mascara

·         And Lipstick and Lip gloss

*   Skincare products

 I am so excited to get started. I have started sampling already. Once I narrow down to two or 3 I will post a review on each one and reveal what I chose. I am starting with Primers and foundations first. I am so excited about this.

By no means will I stop trying all kinds of things. I just thought this would be fun to do! So YAY! Very exciting.

why do I wait so long


Hello Loves!! I am so sorry it has been almost a month since my last post. I didn’t mean for time to slip away. Trust  me, I have a notebook full of blogs waiting for me to write up. But I figured I should make a quick blog to say I am alive! I fell down my stairs in our house and have been on crutches, and trying to be momified (yeah not a word) anyways, so with that, I have been away from the computer. But it feels like an eternity! So let’s see what I can get into today.

My Walk:  Ok, I have not been to church in a couple of weeks (ankle issues), man I miss going. My Husband and I have been talking about church shopping. Finding a home church. Especially since we will be here for at the most 3 years. We need a place we all can feel like home. Like we belong. This is sometimes hard for us, because I feel as Christians, sometime they pass much more judgment  than those who don’t. I know they shouldn’t or they may not and its my warped mind, but I feel because we are an interracial couple and have a biracial child, it feels like we don’t belong to one specific church who will accept us Crazy I know. This has been weighing heavy on my heart, as we are wanting to lead Noah in being a Christian man. And Church is a HUGE part of it. We currently go to the post Chapel here, which is fine. Noah loves the kids program, as do James and I. But for James and I, we feel the church sermons and such are in need of more for us as adults. I love the Chaplain, when he does do sermons, but lately it has been a lot of guest or incoming chaplains. So sometimes, church is not what I am making it I guess. I love going to church, I LOVE praise and worship, I LOVE diving deep in my bible and walking out and feeling even more empowered as a Christian, but here, most of the time I don’t feel like that. So that is heavy on James and I’s heart and lots of prayer for this.

I have been reading My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife. I have a blog post I have been working on about submission in a Christian marriage. Boy oh Boy I expect many bad comments. Hahaha. It’s a touchy and tough subject, but after I read the book, I can review and also go over the discussion question in my blog. So be on the look out for that in the coming weeks.

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”—Psalm 25:4-5 (NKJV)

TTC:  Ahh TTC, I guess I will briefly go into this. But I think henceforth I may not post much on this subject. I am currently on 200mg of Clomid and will do timed intercourse this time. I think after that, James and I will be taking a break. I believe I have mourned the fact that we may never have another baby. But my little family of three is a blessing regardless. I have faith in the Lord, he has a huge and wonderful plan for us, and I just have to wait and be patient.  “Don't be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me." — John 14:1 (CEV)

The Family:  James comes late late Friday night! Woot! Woot! *cue happy hobble dance* I am so excited. I have missed my beloved more than anyone can imagine. Or you could. But I missed that man. He is excited too. He is talking about all the things I need to cook! I am so glad he adores me… and my cooking. In other news, he did not make the E9 promotion list.  *sad face* , so he will try next year. In the mean time, we will embrace life being New Englanders. Its growing on me, I am getting used to it. Just miss my family and green chile. Almost time to order green chile too! As for Noah, he is doing well. He is ready for James to come home. He has been helpful, but as I am more mobile on my ankle, he leaves me to play with his friends. But comes to check on me. My sweet sweet boy. He is currently loving Lord of the Rings, I think he gets his nerdiness from me.

All About me:  I really am considering doing a you tube channel… any thoughts? Doing reviews, tutorials, recipes, and just vlog stuff. Its still in the works. I am first working on James to make me an office in what we called the “baby room” but as it may not happen, I am thinking this might be my niche and way to go. So I am praying on that as well.

Coming Soon:  I am getting back into the swing of things. Soo next up is review of 3 foundations I am trying, My HG (holy Grail) of products for my face, body, and makeup,  Christian wife submissive thoughts..and other grand things.

Daily Tidbits:
