Estee Lauder Signature Creme blush

Star: **** and 1/2
Color: Nude Light
 I have never really been a creme blush kind of person, but this product converted me. Its just so soft and smooth to apply. It give you a nice dewy glow on your cheeks and makes you smile from inside. It looks very natural and sheer. It stay on the whole day and even at the end of the day looks great. Its really easy to apply and blend really well, I just normally blend it with my fingers.

The only con in my opinion is the lack of shades, I think it only comes in 4 shades, all of them are lovely and I love the nude light but for some people it would be harder to find a shade that is perfect for them. On the whole just love this product. I now always keep it in my handbag and a little dab and I am all set.

Stars : 4 and 1/2

The only reason its missing 1/2 star is the limited choice of shades. Other than that is just great.

Where to start

I was totally confused with all the stuff out there that I had no idea where to start. So I started with two things. I created a Universal Amazon Wishlist and also created a spreadsheet. And all I did was kept adding stuff that I thought the baby or I might need and kept adding it the Wishlist. Most of the stuff is available on amazon, but you can also add items from other websites to this list so if you find it cheaper some place else you can keep a track of it.

And started writing things down which I read about that may or may not be useful but sounded like a good idea into a spreadsheet and making notes about it. I will share a link to this spreadsheet with you as well, I keep changing/updating it and will copy it to the website so you can also view it.

From this list I am now going to go through the list and shortlist the items that I will be ordering soon, and will tell you why I decided to go with the choice that I did. I would like to hear your comments if you agree/disagree with my choice.

I am sure no parents would like to buy the best thing for their little ones and spare no expense for it, but that is not always the right thing to do, as this is just the begining, so you have to make sound decision based both on your budget and square footage available to keep all these things, along with the most important thing the safety of your child.

About Me

I am, God willing this time, going to be a Mom soon. This is my second pregnancy. I had a miscarriage at 19 weeks in 2009 and lost our little boy, due to an incompetent cervix. The diagnosis was confirmed when I went into PTL at 18 weeks this time. But luckily had a doctors appointment on the day, who after the examination sent me straight to the hospital for a rescue cerclage to be placed.

The doctor had to put in a couple of stitches as my cervix broke and had to be stitched back. After the surgery the doctor said with a rather glum look on his face that he did all he could, now its all in God's hands. And I was lucky enough to be in God's Hands as I am now in my thrid trimester and hoping to be a Mommy soon.

After all we went through, we decided not do any baby shopping, well more like not even look at baby stuff until I was in my third trimester. We were just taking it one day at a time. With the Grace of God here we finally are looking at stuff to buy for our little baby. No we don't know the gender, we decided not to find out and keep that one big surprise.

The search for baby stuff led us to find so much information on the internet, that I am having an information overload and don't know where to start and where to stop, what to buy and what not to buy. So I thought I would write a blog about my experience, which could possibly help other Mom's to be or New Mum's in training to help decided what they really need or don't need, and what to look for. The checklist they need. etc etc etc. And perhaps get some feedback from Mum's who have been here done that and can guide us in the right direction.

I am also hoping that my good friend will also help me with this blog. She is due a day after I am. So here is hoping...
