Fashionably Young at Heart - Luv for Disney Doesn't Die (The multi-generational appeal of Disney)

  I had not gone to a party since Feb 2020. Call me crazy but as someone with underlying health concerns I would like to reach a happy ripe old age in the distant future. There is also the fact if I did get Covid I would not wish to give it to someone else. Thier life in my hands like that? While some people take that responsibility lightly, for me... not so much... Judge your own actions before you go after mine, just saying...

   My personal safety zone was when the transmission rate reaches >3 in my area and that is where we were when I was invited to celebrate my Niece's 6th birthday. I had not seen her in 2 years. TWO YEARS!!! 


The last time I saw my nieces in 2019
    With that said... I've not dressed for anything but going to a store and such in nearly 2 years. Putting on mascara... I realized it was not worth putting on for making TikTok videos a while back. I have clothes I bought before the shutdown that I have never gotten around to wearing. Nowhere to wear it too... I also have lost a little weight since March 2020, so I was able to get into a shirt I bought a number of years ago that I have never been able to get into. I must have gained weight right after I bought it. I know I tried it on before buying it!
   It seemed appropriate for a six-year old's party. The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite Disney movies growing up and Disney is not something you ever completely grow out of. So many from my generation loves these movies to this day.
   My niece was really into Minnie Mouse the last time I saw her so that was what I made for her - Minnie Mouse Scarf - and afterwards I sat down with her to ask her what Disney Princesses she's into now for future reference :-D

Letting my Freckles show :-D
   Also note this was in Dec, which was oddly warm, so I didn't have anything cool enough that was more Christmas time like. 

    I also had this bracelet I also bought in Early 2020 online from the app Wish.com... I never got to wear it. I actually when buying it thought I might take it apart and use the charms for something else. It only cost about $4 at the time but it went fast, and I doubt it's available anymore, but you can look, maybe I'm wrong. If you do come across one somewhere, I will say it's well worth more than the $4 I paid for it. Here I turned it into a necklace by adding another plain bracelet at the back.

   Ok, lets get to the makeup!

I mean, my makeup skills after almost 2 year of very little use is suffering... (I have used makeup because I made TikTok videos and such, but I did the bare minimal. Thats not a bad thing though. Make up is for fun... you don't have to completely cover your face with it. Ur beautiful without a speck of it on... just saying...)



(I acquired this product at Dollar Tree, yes, I said Dollar Tree! I had started buying from Wet n Wild directly on their website which I do recommend. But to walk into a store and finding a whole bunch of those liquid eyeshadows for just ONE DOLLAR?!?! Happy Dance!) You can pick this up currently at Wet n Wild's website for $3.44 Click on above title for link to product.
  

    Next I used one of my FAVORITE eyeshadows palette! This was the second I bought from this brand. The first palate was call Spectrum with 10 very bright colors. I had been wanting a palette with bright colors but most available were just different shade of browns. I saw Spectrum and bought it then and there... It was only FIVE Dollars at Walmart!
   I pick this palette up when my family went on a shopping mission to prepare for the coming shut down. I spotted Neon and didn't know when I would be coming back to Walmart, so I bought it too. 
   This brand is SO GOOD. I don't know how you're going find any shadows any better than this this without upping your budget dramatically! It's so smooth and pigmented!!! The price does not represent the quality of the product in any way!


    This isn't my favorite mascara of all time (they seem to have stopped producing that one) But I do like it. It's good! I would defiantly recommend someone trying it. I have a mini size here I got in a gift set which is easier to carry around and last a fair amount of time. It takes me a while to get through a tube of mascara, so I like having a mini. I did have a large size, but I may have used it all or it dried up, not sure... Like I said above. I haven't been using Mascara much the last 2 years.

CONTOURING BLUSH & BRONZING POWDER - ELF

   Honestly, I used this partly because it had a mirror with it! But it's not a bad blush. I don't really use the bronzer with it. Maybe when life goes back to seeing people and showing our faces, I'll give it a try again... It's very smooth and soft. No complaints. The packaging is the selling point though. I found it on Clearance at Walmart quite a while ago, but it looks like Elf still sales it and at a very fair price! I actually remember this being more then $3.40 not on sale as they are stating here... but right now it's $1.92! I'm not sure what shade I have as I misplaced it currently...

 (Color - Capricorn)
 I don't know if you can get these anymore or not. They were selling them at Walmart for a while which I got this one. I later ordered the ones they had on clearance on WetnWild.com after Covid kept me out of stores. I had a good experience buying from them. The second order did have an issue, but they were very good at addressing it.
   This may not be a gloss for everybody. I love glitter and Capricorn is pure glitter. It is a duo chrome changing from a purple to a yellow gold. I have also used this as a glitter highlighter on my cheeks. 
UPDATE: I just found this color for sale on Wetnwild.com Link above. $1.90!
