Life Update: Mann's Troubles

Hello World,


So last week was a trying time for my son, Mr. Mann. :( On Tuesday, he had to be rushed to the hospital because he could barely move, and he was gagging and choking, and super bloated. Oh the poor baby was in so much pain. So my sister drove like a mad women to get him to the hospital, and then after awhile the doctor comes out, and says he might have GDV, which is when the stomach gets really bloated and then flips over, thus cutting off blood circulation. And that would be a $3000 surgery!

But fortunately, she went back and got some more x-rays, and Mann was looking better and we were able to bring him home that night, just in time to watch the Warriors game. (He knows what his mother's priorities are!)

'Chocolate Brown' Makeup Look

Hello World! Here's a tutorial on how I got this chocolate brown makeup look!

Step 1: Wash and moisturize! I used Origins Checks and Balances Frothy face wash and Origins GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer. I also used their GinZing Refreshing eye cream for the dark circles under my eyes. I received all these products and more complimentary and free from Influenster for testing purposes. See my review of all the Origins products I got on Thursday!

Step 2: Prime! I used BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.

Step 3: Foundation!  I used Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup in the shade 29 Sienna.

Step 4: Concealer!  I applied concealer under my eyes, along the bridge of my nose, to the center of my forehead and on my chin. Then "baked" with a translucent powder.  I used  Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit and the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.

Benefit Cosmetics Affiliation

Hello World!

I am so proud to announce that Kerin's Korner is an official affiliate of Benefit Cosmetics!!!  It really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it means that Benefit saw enough potential in Kerin's Korner being able to make them some money, so they were willing to invest!

Kerin's Top Ten: Chris Brown Songs

Hello World! 

Today is Chris Brown's 28th birthday. Happy Birthday C-Breezy! I have been listening to Chris Brown for over ten years now. I mean his first album came out in 2005. And throughout this period, I think he has blessed us with some gems. There have clearly been some lows in his career, but I'm here for the music, and there's no denying he's a talented artist. So in honor of his birthday, here are my top ten favorite Chris Brown songs!
