The red-haired, green-clothed Leprechaun is commonly associated with St. Patrick’s Day. The original Irish name for these figures of folklore is “lobaircin,” meaning “small-bodied fellow.” Belief in leprechauns likely stems from Celtic belief in fairies— tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil. In Celtic folktales, leprechauns were cranky souls, responsible for mending the shoes of the other fairies. www.history.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNli_LL_zJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Eye spy one of my favorite skin care products! volu-firm eye renewal cream A lifetime of repeated facial expressions – like laughing, smiling and frowning – really takes a toll on the fragile eye area. And when you factor in years of sun exposure and all the squinting that can go along with it, the result can be eyes that make you look more tired and older than you feel. And because the experience you have with a product can be as meaningful as the benefits, a customized applicator elevates this cream to a new eye-deal of beauty. Perfectly sculpted to fit the shape of the eye, the metal tip is designed to help impact microcirculation as it gently massages the undereye area to help reduce puffiness. When the smooth metal touches your skin, the effect is at once cooling and refreshing. Now isn't that a luxury you could indulge in every day? I have been using this one for 10 years❣ 👀 Fine lines 🌵 Dryness ⚫ Dark circles Which do your eyes need a break from?

They say good things come in threes. That’s especially true for these Mary Kay®Eyeliners – each of which draw attention to eyes while offering their own unique style. 1 liquid 2 gel 3 pencil 1 Liquid is my go to for dress up. It makes me feel dramatic & beautiful. 2 Gel I gave up on because it is so hard to apply 😂 but Gel liners create solid color instantly without having to layer, and they can be super crisp when applied with a thin brush. They can also be smudged out farther than other types of liner. The truly talented can even use gel liner as a creamy eyeshadow. 3 Pencil in brown is my everyday go to. Easy application & easy removal. I love how it brings out my eye color❣ What is your favorite style of eyeliner – pencil, gel or pen? #MKElevateYourExpectations (at Corpus Christi, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-rLjSHvVx/?igshid=158d1q1mfepkq
