So, where do I begin? Oh, Urban Decay! I had placed my order with Urban Decay for the Friends and Fanatics event and I got my order in 3 days! I received it before my due date, which I could not believe... how often does that happen? Urban Decay definitely has their stuff together. My order was perfectly packed in purple tissue paper that says "Beauty with an Edge"... how cool is that? I received my Naked palette (I absolutely LOVE it), my Revolution lipstick in 69 (OMG!!!!), and a sample of Urban Decay's favorite 4 Revolution lipsticks... F-Bomb (which I was very tempted to buy), Naked, Obsessed, and Anarchy (which I have). Pictures to come soon.
As I mentioned before, I was sick on Valentine's Day... I actually went to work, but was feeling pretty miserable, so no pictures. My hubby gave me a funny and cute card, tulips, and we had a great fondue dinner at home. If you have never had fondue, at a restaurant or at home, you must really try it. It is a lot of fun! We had lobster tails, shrimps, scallops, and filet mignon with home made sauces! Soooo, yummy! We even made some delicious strawberry daiquiris (I know I was sick, but I had to celebrate with one).
My beautiful tulips after they opened.
Mom's birthday dinner, again no pictures because I was sick AND then I forgot to take pictures of the birthday girl! Dinner was fun (even though dad was not there). She was very happy with her gift... a mani, pedi, face mask, and face scrub We can't wait to go to the spa for our girl's day!
I received both my February and March Ipsy bags. I will be doing two separate posts on these. My March bag actually came in early and I have used all but one product... the NYX eyeshadow. I am hoping to trade the eyeshadow with a friend for a different color.
I skipped the Julep March box, but they had a Limited Edition The Wizard of Oz box! I LOVE The Wizard of Oz, it was one of my favorite books as a child and one of my favorite movies. So, of course I had to buy it (post coming soon). I even love the box the polishes came in!
Recently the hubby, my family, and I attended a car show at Bedner's Farm Fresh Market. So this is a farm in Boynton Beach, Florida where you can pick your own strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and sunflowers (which I am allergic to). They also have a small grocery store that sells home grown and organic vegetables, fruits, jams, jellies, salsas, etc. The place is awesome! Around St. Patrick's Day a car club called the Asphalt Angels hold a car show at Bedner's. Most of the club members showcase their classic cars and anyone can enter their own car to win prizes. The hubby's thinking about entering his Camaro at next year's event. As you can see from the pictures below, there are a variety of cars that are showcased (yes, that is a Delorean that someone had)! The event has different vendors selling sunglasses, jewelry, plants, fresh squeezed lemonade, hot dogs, and there is even a BBQ food truck with great food! This year they had a group of kids dancing and a petting zoo for the children. We had a great time, but I got a little sunburned (I'm actually peeling right now, uggghhh!).

I had a guest at work that I had been helping who gave me a beautiful gift She has a company named All Girls Love Pearls. And THIS girl does love pearls! This was a great gift for me. Thank you very much Lisa Beek!
So now we get to this past weekend... St. Patrick's Day weekend. Yes, it should have been fun, but I wound up with a sore throat... AGAIN! So, what do you do when you are sick? Sleep and watch television. Last time I was sick, I watched seasons 1-3 of The Walking Dead... again. Sunday brought me to QVC. Oh, QVC, you can be very addictive! AND this Sunday they had an hour called Beauty's Most Wanted. They were advertising the Muppets' new movie, Muppets Most Wanted, while showcasing some of the best beauty brands with their bestselling items. Of course I found something I wanted. I love the brand Tarte. I had a makeover done last year by a Tarte makeup artist and I fell in love with the brand. I contemplated the purchase, but how can you say no when you can make 3 easy payments?!?! :) The price was great (9 products for under $70)... 2 of the products I have been wanting to purchase and those 2 alone are worth over $70! My order shipped today and I will post it when it comes in.
The other great news? Ulta is having their 21 Days of Beauty! I received the ad on Saturday and the sales started on Sunday. They have absolutely AH-MAZ-ING deals! For those of you who don't know about the 21 Days of Beauty... each day Ulta has a great product at a great price. For example, 2 London Butter nail polishes for $15 (normally $15 individually), Smashbox Photo Finish primer for $18 (normally $36), or Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush for $15 (normally $30). Plus there are extra deals or free products with purchase. Ulta had one of these sales in September 2013, around the Ipsy/Benefit Lashbash time and I was able to get Benefit gifts for my contests (yes, I will post on my Lashbash soon). If you plan on going to an Ulta store, arrive early because most stores receive about 4 of each product that is significantly discounted (this is what I was told by an Ulta employee last time). I'm actually going this Saturday for the Benefit deal.
What have you been up to? Any special purchases (does not have to be beauty related)? Are you planning to go to Ulta for the 21 Days of Beauty? If so, let me know what you find.
Take care.
