Are you watching Emerald City?!

Um hello? This is a fantastic show on NBC. It's a modern day wizard of oz- without all the singing. It's so good! Is Glinda a good witch or a bad one? Why is the Wizard such an ass? Is Tip Ozma? What's the deal with the masked queen? Only 3 episodes left? Is this a mini series? Love the gauntlets! What the hell is the 'beast forever' ? This show is so good! The set design is amazing!  Those of you who watch- did you find this last episode a bit slow? I'm sure the next few will be action packed.   http://www.nbc.com/emerald-city

The great mascara search- They're Real by Benefits

Today I used They're Real lengthing mascara. And lengthen it did! This mascara is pretty amazing. I wore all day today, took a car ride, brought kids to the windy park (yes I went 0utside!) and had a busy day. This lasted all day with no fall out or smudging. The one con about this is towards the end of the day my lashes stuck together. When I blinked it seemed like they were sticky. Pretty gross.   Rating: 9/10 As previous I took the picture with only one eye done so you have an easy comparison.  Where to buy http://m.sephora.com/product/P289307?icid2=skugrid&skuId=1343938

*** updated** The great mascara search- Mary Kay Ultimate

Good morning! Today we are going to try the Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara.  Here's the wand. Nice curve to it.  Goes on ok not that smoothly, but ok.  Here we are. It's a bit clumpy, but my lashes look long and fabulous.  I will update you on the wear at the end of the day.  Find it here: http://www.marykay.com/kayleighroy18 *** update*** End of day; lashes still look fabulous. A little bit of fall out; not as mush as the previous one. If this is all after all day wear then I am happy. Rating- 8/10. 

** updated** The great mascara search. Bobbi Brown smokey eye

I have the hardest time finding a great mascara. I have a million samples and I think it is time to put them to the test to see which one is the best. The will be graded on the following criteria; length, darkness, smudge ability, and duration. Major deductions if they flake.  Today I am going to use Bobbi Brown smokey eye mascara. http://m.sephora.com/product/P382581?skuId=1562024 There's the wand. Not too fancy.  Ok here it is. I took the picture with only one eye done so we can compare to naked lashes. I will update this afternoon to see if we have any flake off.  ** update** We have flaking and fall out. It's not quite noon Verdict- gave it a good try, but lots of smudging. Would wear to a luncheon or a baby shower or something. Not good for every day use. Pros: held up well. Lashes still nice and separate. No clumping. Cons: smudge; fall out.  Score: 6/10. 

Why Bath and Body Works?

I went shopping this weekend. Was just going to window shop; I'm in lockdown till after our DisneyWorld trip in a few weeks. Anyway, stopped into Bath and Body Works. They had the most fantastic scent in there. Smelled like a gigantic lemon sugar cookie. Smelled so crisp and fresh and lemony! I just loved it. Lemonchello is its name. Fabulous- and of course it comes in a candle, shower gel, lotion, body creme... yeah. I'm $50 lighter. Thanks BBW.

I have a hard time with scents. Allergies- thanks genetics. Anyway, I can't do florals. I can do citrus scents so I am super pumped about this one.

KJ likes!

Kj doesn't like much. Her had a few toys that he really enjoys. He's an old grouch.  So here's my review of the 5 sided activity cube. Link below for Amazon. .

First it has a shape sorter on one side. Pretty cool. Next it has a piano keyboard so you can play some cool tunes. On each key there's an animal face and it asks you some questions.  On the top is an arrow that can point to several animals. All in all it's pretty darn cute.

Favorite super bowl commercials!

While we waited for the Lady GaGa show- we had to watch some reality show; I don't know I didn't really follow. Anyway, there were several cute commercials, several lame commercials, and several wtf are the doing here commercials. I graded on three criteria; humour, audience appeal, and awww factor. Extra points if they were not political.

Lamest Commercial: H&R Block and Watson.  Some super it stuff to help you do taxes. Big wooo. Quote from my dad, "It's just taxes, come on!" 1/10.

Poorest use of a celebrity: Justin Bieber in the football dance. So lame, I don't even remember what They were selling and I took notes. They tried and failed miserably to be funny. 0/10

Now on to the best. They were three that really stood out for me. So I'll save the best for last.


Best Slapstick: Melissa McCarthy in Kia. She basically tried to save the world by fails miserably. 8/10

Best Hahaha and WTF moment: Skittles. Just watch it! Romance the Rainbow! 8/10

Best twist: Bai bai bai. Christopher Walken. Just watch it. I loved it. 10/10 watch it follow the YouTube link!

Honorable Mention for Human Intrest Factor:  Honda, chasing the dream.



There ya go! I didn't consider any Movie Trailers or TV shows on this list because that's too subjective. I do say that The Handmaidens Tale looks pretty interesting
