White Line Fever Review
This book is amazing. I'm not just saying that cause i'm a big Motorhead fan. If you like Music in general this book is a good time. Lemmy tells you about starting out, random things that happened while touring, and about random musicians he met along the way. Lemmy was an amazing human in general. I have been waiting to finish this book for a while, life and bullshit got in the way as usually. I actually bought the book the day he died. As a heartbroken fan it has helped me with his insight into everything. I love reading interview he has done cause you always end up taking something away from it. This was no different. If you are a fan this is definitely worth the read. Also check out the Documentary on him. It's of course called Lemmy. I know it was on Netflix a while back it's a good time as well.

Let it Glow Kit by Too Faced
Let it Glow by Too Faced
This was a christmas gift from My Wife. I love it so much. I've just started experimenting with highlighters so this is perfect for that. It's not too over powering that if you over do it that it will completely ruin your make up that day.
Love Flush in Color Love Hangover This blush is just enough on the dark side that you only need to use one coat. It's not one that you have to cake on to make it show, I adore the color and think it really suited but a light or even medium skin tone.
It came with a duo for a highlighter and bronze. I do love the case I think it really simple but elegant.
1. Candlelight Glow in color Rosy Glow
First off I love the imprint of the Chandelier but I really like Chandelier in general The shine of this one is really light but you can definitely add a few more coats if you need something more intense. Also keep in mind that this is on my super pale skin tone so of course it's not gonna be to intense
2. Luminous Brozer in color Snow Bunny
I'm really pleased with this one. It's a little darker on my skin tone especially and I like the various of colors in it. Plus it got just enough sparkle to really pop!
Finally it comes with this Adorable heart shaped brush. The brush itself is supppppper soft and I love it,
All in All I'm very happy and impressed with this glow kit. This is my first ever glow kit. I'm excited to time a few more. Anyone reading this has some suggestion please comment and let me know!

January 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag review
Pur-Lisse Blue Lotus Seed Mud Mask and Exfoliant
Some of the Pur-Lisse products I've tried I wasn't a big fan of. This was actually a pretty good face mask. It does burn at 1st when you put it on. After about a minute that stops. you are suppose to where it for 10- 15 mins I had it on a big longer. Afterwards my face was smooth and it tightened up my skin a little. I would definitely use this product again.
Ciate London Geology Gel
I'm a big fan of this brand I have gotten a couple of the Polishes including the red color I used and I've gotten some Mascara ( which i may have to do a review on since I have a lot of mascara) The gel goes on smooth and stays on longer. I did do dishes after this and ruined it. I really need to invest in a Gel Lamp at this point since I do my nails so much.
The Balm Cosmetics Bahama Mama Brozer
I'm a big same of The Balm. Everything I have tried of there i'm really happy with. This is no different the brozer goes on smooth and it isn't too dark that you can't blend it it. I recommend it.
Pacificia Blushious
This Blush is very light it's gorgeous and have the right amount of glitter tones to it. It could almost be used as a highlighter. Plus the case is my favorite. I adore the unicorn on it.
Trust Fund Beauty Lipgasm in color Method to the Madness
I like Trust Fund Beauty from the products I've tried with it. I'm not a big fan of gloss I don't think it look as good on me now that I've gotten older. Also it feels sticky sometimes. This Gloss doesn't feel as sticky as most. The color is a neutral tone so I've not to bad usually darker on i tend to get everywhere. I happy with it as a go to it I want something other than my normal matte lipstick or it will work it you just want a little shine to to lips.
This is my makeup after using all the products. I'm really happy with this months bag.

This is not (just) lipstick.
I'm obsessed with makeup. I get a Sephora Play Box every month and i'm a VIB member. I get an Ipsy bag every month and I'm an Ipsy OS member. It's a love affair I have. It make me happy, extremely happy, I love Lipstick. This Sephora Play bag is my favorite and I've kept my lipstick in it since I got it. It's stained and wrinkled. Finally I decided to stick it out with last month's Lipstick and Chill bag. I cut this bag up and framed it for my office. Every Lipstick I have it and use regularly I love. So this bag sums up my feelings for it.
This is not (just) a Lipstick.

Better Together Review
Hello,
I have full explored and played with the Better Together palette by Too Faced and Kat Von D. It's lovely really just the way it's put and the colors they used in it. I'm really pleased with it. As a big fan of both lines I was really excited when this was announced and I'm even more excited to try the other limited edition sets they have out. When I find a makeup line I like I stick with it.
The Layout of the palette right off is perfect to suit both. Cause Too Faced is very bright and pastel and Kat is of course with her black theme which suits her so much.
Plus the Volume 1 only makes me giddy that there is more to come from these awesome brands.

Here is the front:
And the back which includes a message about the collaborations
Then Inside has these beautiful Hands written messages (of course it's a copy of the original but it works perfectly.) from Kat and Jerrod typed up one.
the colors I've tried on my Arm which I'm super pale so some don't show up due to that. The colors as all work better with a eye shadow primer to really get that true color.
the kit also came with Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara and Kat's Tattoo Liner. Which I love they are great. Better than Sex does make your lashes look super long and the Liner goes on smooth and dark and it's easy to smear which I love.
Yes I smudged them all on my hand just to show you how dark they are.
All in all this Palette is amazing! I'm very happy with it and Think both Teams did a fantastic job of putting it together. It really functions perfectly as a duo set. plus this magnetic heart is adorable.

Fit Girl
So I've started this Fit Girl Journey about a year and a half ago. I'm still trying to get a grip on it. It is by far the best fitness program and support group I've been a part of. I get off track sometimes but i always seem to be able to get back at it.
This is like a revolution of girls that nothing else has worked for them so this was founded by some girls who figured out what worked. I'm on like round 60 at this point. honestly it's more like round 16 cause there is 1 round a month. I've learned a lot about my self and what I need to better myself. I'm excited to talk about it. I've gained a new sense of life I guess.
It's weird I'm trying to make it to a higher place in my life and my weight has always held me back. I've been overweight since probably starting when I was 8 or 9. I don't what happened really my childhood is fussy for the most part. Don't get me wrong I love my Hips and My Ass is just now getting where I want it to be but I have got to get rid of this stomach. I just want to feel better really.
If anyone is looking for a program that actually helps and has an amazing support system it's definitely Fit Girls Guide. It's Amazing in all parts of it.
I will go in to more details about it through out this journey.

make up addict.
Hello My name is Marilyn and I addicted to Makeup.
yes I have an obsession. I love everything about it. It's relaxing for me and it excites me. I like mixing colors and creating new looks.
My 2 biggest vices are Lipsticks in every color. Kat Von D and Ciate London are my favorite. Mascara is my other. Tarte and The Balm are my current favorite with it. I will start doing review on it. Probably starting with my Better Together Palette by Too Faced and Kat Von D.
Once I finish playing with it I will do a proper review. It's somethings I've wanted for a while so I thought what better way to start then now. I will eventually get into makeup videos, but not yet. This is just a short intro on my love of it.
I will post pictures and random stuff here. Also I need to link my Instagram.
This is my look from today. I use a dual lip which I saw in Cosmo and thought it was lovely. I used the Better Together and My Sephora's Winter Wonderland (from last year) Palette on my eyes. I have the Too Faced All that Glow kit (which I will have to review as well). My lashes I have a bad habit of use like 6 mascara at a time. Today I use 5 Tartiest, Milk, Smashbox Rated X, The Balm's Mad Lashes, and Too Faced's Better than Sex. The lipstick: the top one is Ciate London's Liquid Velvet in Head over Heels, and the bottom is Tarte's Lip Paint in Yaasss. I'm pretty in love with this Dual lip actually.

work work work work work
post 2
Lets talk about work.
I do customer service for a big giant realtor online. Its go its ups and down but I love it. I started on the pilot of it so I've been here since the jump, I worked my way up to a Supervisor then a Trainer and then a Part Time Coach. I've been very lucky,
I have had some terrible jobs in my life working at gas stations and for college I attended as a work study and even selling sex toys for a brief period of time. I was a supervisor at a medical paging service for a few years til it was just to much to take. The job isn't bad but the company puts added stress on you. So for myself I left. My Wife unfortunately still works there and now has the burden herself.
Oh I forgot to mention I was married to a chick, I will do a post on that soon. We have a wonderful love story,
I'm full of stories.
Anyways my job is wonderful. I'm appreciated and respected. It is an amazing work enviroment where you are love and motivated and make part of the team. We are the dream team. I've never been happier in a job, It has it's moments where I feel wonderful helping customers but other time where i have been told I've ruined birthdays , Christmas and even told to suck a 12 gauge,
All in all it's amazing and i do consider myself very lucky,
