Blue and brown look using MUG shadows and a quick update!

I received some Makeup Geek eyeshadows recently and I was so excited to try them.  Unfortunately, I got them the day before my surgery so I had to wait forever to try them!  I've done a few looks with them but our weather hasn't been very good so I've only photographed one of the looks I've done.  I have to say that so far they're pretty good (I'll do swatches and a review later on).  So here's the look I did!





MUG shadows I used:
1- Mermaid
2- Burlesque
3-Cocoa Bear
4- Vanilla Bean
5- Shimma Shimma









I know I do this type of look a lot, with a blue color on my lid and brown above the crease but I think it's very wearable that way and I just really like it haha.  

And just a quick update on what's going on with me, I'm healing well from my surgery, I'm still sore but I'm pretty sure that's normal.  I'm gonna have one heck of a scar up the middle of my tummy (it's about 8 inches long haha) but scars don't really bother me, I say it's my street cred haha.

I met with the oncologist the other day and the plan is for me to start chemo on the 12th, which was sooner than I thought it was going to be, but it is what it is.  So sometime before then I plan on cutting my hair.  Maybe something like this:
 but I'm open to suggestions!!

Thank you all so so so much for all of your kind words and thoughts on my last post.  I read a lot of them while I was in the hospital and they really made me feel better.  I'm so lucky to have such a great group of followers!  Thank you guys so much!!

  11. Holy cow, I wish I was able to look that fantastic coming out of surgery! I looked like death for weeks after my last surgery because I reacted to the anaesthesia and it made me sick... You are one gorgeous, incredible, brave and inspiring woman! I agree with the crowd that Pink's hair-do will look fantastic on you! Hope you feel fantastic and everything gets better super quick!

  20. Hi Sonja, I'm relatively new to your blog - but I wanted to let you know that I've been keeping you in my prayers. My sister (and BFF) was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I won't go into all the gory details, but she too starts chemo within the next week. She’s been really worried about losing her hair, so just yesterday, we both got ours cut super-short. She loves it & even decided to get bright purple highlights! [she said “why not, it’s not going to last long!!! LOL]

    Anyway, stay strong. Know that there are people out here hoping and praying for you.

Secondly I think you have THE perfect face for a cute pixie cut like that! You're going to be looking hot! I have 4 huge scars on my belly from past surgeries too - and I feel the same way you do about them! I'm glad to hear everything's going well with you =)

  24. Glad to see you're doing ok. You're one of my favourite bloggers, not only because you're obviously talented, but also because I think you're a super sweet person and admirable in many respects. Stay strong, you do have the best attitude. I wish you - and your lovely family! - all the best. Big hug from Spain xxx

  25. It's very inspiring to see someone going through something like this and keep a positive attitude. So many people are quick to blame God or life, but in reality, it's part of ones journey in life that we are not meant to understand.

    I admire your strength and outlook. Your personality sets you apart from all the rest, and your views give me such huge respect for you.

    I will most definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    -Stephie

    PS- You will look like a rock star with that Pink haircut. You have the perfect beautiful face for it!
