I apologize for my lack of a Five Friday Favorites post; my cold got the best of me and in between that and Kyle coming to pick my up and bring me back to Daytona things just got a little crazy. Yesterday he worked, and since I was still feeling under the weather I just spent the day relaxing at home. I ended up having a little impromptu spa day with a couple last-minute packages I had sent to his house.
I recently made an order from Everyday Minerals to try their foundation (when I went to order my normal stuff in preparation for my study abroad they were out of my color, requiring me to look elsewhere!). They have a cool system where you can order free foundation samples, the 7 Piece Custom Sample Kit, to help you try and find the right color! Since I needed foundation badly, I went ahead and took a chance with my color, but also ordered some sample shades just to see what it was like. It was really fun to experiment with them all yesterday, and thankfully the shade I ordered is in fact the correct one! I also ordered their 3 Piece Custom Kit, which allows you to get a little discount on any three items. Overall, my whole experience with my order was a lot of fun! I love how natural their products are, and that they are made right here in the USA.
You can see all the free samples I got to try... So fun!
The other part of my spa day was painting my nails with one of the polishes from this month's Lillian Eve Duo Box. I am just so in love with Lillian Eve! Last week I painted my nails with a non-Lillian Eve polish and.... let's just say I won't be using it again. Nothing compares to the quality of Lillian Eve's vegan polishes, and I love supporting yet another American grown company. This months theme was Champagne & Peonies, and I love both colors that came in the box, Bit of Bubbly and Maid of Honor. I decided to try Maid of Honor first, and I'm in love with this purple-pink shade! It's perfect for spring.
So that as my fun little spa day yesterday while I tried to rest and recover from the cold I'm still harboring. I'm hoping I get better ASAP, because I will be heading to Italy very soon to start my study abroad. Although I guess I'd rather be sick here than be sick there...
Happy Monday!
