Randoms and Reality TV drama

upon starting my new blogging venture, my good friend Christine Rorabaugh, introduced me to google reader...yup the obsession begins. pretty amazing stuff. how i wasn't aware of google reader is really ridiculous, i know. but i am now caught up on everyone's blogs and it might be consuming my life...just a tad. and dont mind me if i have subscribed to you and all of our friends.

here are my random findings for the day...

kortney kardashian and scott disick had their little baby girl a few days ago and named her penelope scotland disick. my aunt thinks that name is ridiculous, but i vote super cute! i am liking penelope, and scotland is a really cute middle name...just sayin. check out the baby news here. on a side note, i really like kortney's lipstick...



for all you bachelorette fans, emily decided to give sean the boot on yesterday's episode. bummer. i was really bummed because i actually really like sean...he is one of my faves of those that are left. arie is just odd....and he tries too hard. i kind of feel like he has something he is hiding. i mean clearly he did hide that he had a relationship with one of the production girls for the show. like emily said "what else is he hiding?". if you don't want to know how the bachelorette ends, and who emily picks in the end, don't continue to read :) some people like a surprise...as for me, i dont mind knowing the deets. i am interested to see if the "spoiler" peeps are right on who emily picks.

on to the big bachelorette news....

in reading reality steve, he tells us that emily is engaged to jef (yes, jef with 1 "f") at the end of all of this. also known as "1 f jef". i really actually like jef, he is genuine, seems to really care about emily, and wears his heart on his sleeve type of guy. plus his style is kinda cute. did i mention i love his ranch...but i didnt see any horses...that would be a must. i really wish i was a movie/tv show critic, and got paid for it...that would be a really fun job. getting paid to watch drama-filled shows and dish on all the gossip. sign me up.

pretty little liars comes on tonight, which is one of my all time favorite shows. i just may have to share the details, my thoughts on "A", and some analysis from the spoilers out there, for those pretty little liars fans.



a non-reality tv show random for the day is...MAC came out with a new line and there is one must-have lipstick in that line which i had the pleasure of discovering at this weekends mall trip. ladies go check out "fire sign"...it is a nice mix of red and pink, perfect for summer and looks great on almost everyone. it looks really red in the tube, i know, but goes on way more pinky than it looks...im loving it and haven't really seen a red/pink like it.  it is a must-have for sure! it is a limited edition one, so go out and get it.

while we are sharing make-ups....i have four make-up must haves for summer. in my search for fun, good make-up, i found these are my "gatta haves".

1. Tarte foundation - goes on for a natural look, yet covers really well, and doesn't make you oily - it is oil free. it is a 12 hour wear so it lasts, and its all natural, made of amazon clay! score. best foundation i have found yet.

2. NARSs blush in orgasm - i know, i know...weird name...awkward. but it really is the BEST blush ever. read all the mags, they agree. it is a pinky color with a little sparkle, looks great on any skin tone. you can get NARS "orgasm" blush at Sephora...and there is one right here locally in moore in the JC Penney's off I35.

3. The POREfessional - this amazing primer and pore-cover-uper by Benefit cosmetics, does exactly what is says - covers those pores you want to hide. it not only hides pores, but it is also a primer, and can be put on top of make up for touch ups. it is sold at Ulta and is only $29! i will never go without this...everrrr.

4. They're Real - i'm kind of a mascara snob, and i really want big, thick long lashes. so i always search for the best of the best in mascara's. i actually like a couple different ones, and have heard a few are good...but for now i will say the "They're Real" mascara by Benefit cosmetics is pretty darn good. i sometimes layer using two mascaras - They're Real and Mary Kay's volumizing mascara. i have heard the Bad Gal mascara by Benefit is also good and Dior Show. those are next on my list to try.

5. MAC Bronzer in "refined golden" - every girl needs a little bronzer for the summer. i really like MAC's bronzer's, they are probably my favorite, although i have only tried about 3 different brands of bronzers. my favorite is the "refined golden" because it isn't too dark, and has a little shimmer. it also isn't too yellowy...i not a big fan of a yellowish toned bronzer.

Thanks for reading my randoms :)

XOXO The Stephens
