Helloooo!!!
I have struck again! I picked up a few things that I needed and well, of course, wanted!

There is a photo at the bottom left of my blog home page.. it's of a girl wearing a white t-shirt with a leopard cross on it. I found that photo a few months ago and almost fell off my chair! I NEEDED IT! I searched for it immediately and didnt find anything. Just a few days ago I decided to search for it again and it came up on Urban Outfitters website.. BOY WAS I THRILLED! It was also on sale for $14.99, so you KNOW I was on that! I purchased it and it finally came in today!! AHHH It's HUGE, haha, the size was a "one size." Therefore, it's ginormous, but I dont care! I am thinking of taking it to my tailor and hope she can do something with it, OR I'll just rock it big the way it is, with some leggings and a belt! Oh -& stilettos, of course!
The other important purchase of this all is the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I have heard raves about this for MONTHS now.. My girl Cheryl @ Cheryls Beauty Blog posted about it recently and I just had to finally purchase it. She really knows her stuff. I cant wait to try it!!
The Zoe Thermal Pouch is for my hair straightener when I am on the go! This weekend, as some of you know, I went on a mini vacay to visit my girlfriend and her husband in Upstate New York.. I didnt have any way to store my hair straightener after I straightened my hair. It was actually still hot as I was ready to leave my house so I had to take it as it was and let it sit in the car. Had I had this Thermal Pouch, I would have been all set from the get go. Boo on me for purchasing it too late! BUT, I will have it for the futureeeeee!!
I am still very unsure if I like those EOS Lip Balm thingymajigs.. They taste kinda funny and we all know how I am about lippies that have funky tastes to them. The Lemon Drop one isnt so bad, and the Sweet Mint is OK. I need to keep wearing them to get used to them I guess!
I got those Nail Art Wheels too! I have been meaning to buy those for a while now and kept forgetting. When I stopped in Sallys I saw them and immediately remembered lol - I wanted those for blogging and for my own reference when I want to pick out a nail color! Definitely needed them for blogging too, because I dont want to always have to remove my nail polish to demo a nail color for you all. Having that really makes it easier for me!! Amen for chochkey gadgets like that!
So what I really went shopping for is a new blow dryer.. can you believe that after like 8 years my blow dryer died this weekend! That beast just stopped working on me! HOW DARE IT! I have had that thing since the beginning of time, ok not really, but you know I over exaggerate! haha! Here's what it looked like before it called it quits on me...(the black one pictured below)
The blow dryer to the left is my super super duper old one... lol it's like ancient, but I kept it after it started to go bad on me as a back up dryer... Then I had purchased the BabyLiss Pro (to the right) and it was my magic wand for the last almost 10 years! I lost the cap to the front so I stole it from the blow dryer to the left and taped it together, and I broke the back part that holds all the lint so it's been used that way for a while (the dryer fell). I mean, this thing took beatings and bangs and even got wet a few times - this thing was bound to stop working any day, but I definitely wasnt expecting it to be this weekend.
Anywho, it gave me a reason to buy this badboy!
This thing is NO JOKE! I needed a 2000 Watt dryer. I just love the speed and heat of it. The 1875 Watt dryers really dont work for my hair. Which is why I actually never purchased another dryer other than my Professional BabyLiss Pro, because I just didnt think something would be able to match how amazing it worked for my hair... BUT THIS THING... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ::angels singing::
I got it on sale for $79.95 from $119.95 @ Ulta. Click HERE for the link to the site. Well worth the money!!!
That's all my new junk!
I have some EXTRA BUCKS to spend at CVS, have any of you purchased any drug store goodies that I can go there and purchase too?? Do tell, do tell!!

Hey Babes!
My birthday is around the corner! 2 more days!!! WHOO HOOOOO!! I decided to spoil myself and pick up some more junk I do not need. Don't we all just buy stuff we want but realistically do not need more of! I hate catching myself doing that, but this time there's an exception... mah birfffdayyy!! :P
Here's what I managed to jumble together yesterday.
 |
|
I cant just leave the house and buy 1 thing, I have to leave the house and buy 700 things. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! I'm female, that's the problem!
Here's my take on everything!
Creme Cup & Angel are almost identical.. seriously, the one bit of a difference is Angel is a bit more pigmented and gets darker as you apply whereas Creme Cup is sheer and not really buildable. Although, you can apply 1 coat of Angel and 2 coats of Creme Cup and get the same outcome. I dont get it? lol - Alot of MAC lipsticks are like this, very close in color and are dupeable! Revlon has a decent amount of lippies that duplicate MAC's for half the price! I do love them both and have every intension on keeping them even though they're twin sisters. haha
Viva Glam II, I love it! I have loved it for a while, but for a long time I wasnt in a nude lip kinda mood, so I never purchased it. I dont like buying things I wont use.. it's a waste of space kinda thing that I am not into. Anywho, as you know all summer I have been all over nudes like white on rice so I just figured why not scoop this one up and manipulate it into Fall. Yes, PLEASE! I love the fact that part of the proceeds go to the AIDS FOUNDATION and I'm all about giving.
Viva Glam 2 lipglass... smack me silly and call me inlove! Yet, again! I hate when I love something because then I ware it out. Blah.. well this is one lipgloss I will be taking with me everywhere! It's smooth, and soft, not sticky and gooey, and the color is just perfect! As you can see I gooped it on my hand to show you it's color, but it blends into my lips all too well! I actually even wore it over Angel today and it looked fabulous! Go Team Viva Glam!!!
Peaches, Peaches Peaches... The word Peach reminds me of my Uncle Ed's best friend who's nickname happened to be Peach lol I was like 7 and super inlove with this guy who was clearly much older then me.. He was probably 25 at the time! Now the situation wouldnt be so bad, but then... not so much! haha Anyways, MAC PEACHES is such a lovely color! I spotted it on HER DOLL FACE's blog the other day when I was looking at some of her older posts and I couldnt help but purchase it! It just looked like a color that would look fab on me! -& while tooting my own horn right now... it does! It's a perfect peachy color, as you see swatched it's very true to its name. I will be using it for the end of summer and Fall and I just cant wait!
OPI's Nail Polishes were quick pick me ups for my birthday nails - I was going to grab My Address Is Hollywood, but I was scared it wouldnt look good on me. Jenn from imperfection-isbeauty.com grabbed it in her haul the other day and I was so anxious to try it. After I checked it out, it just didnt seem like I'd like it on my nails. I opted for I EAT MAINELY LOBSTER instead because it was brighter and goes with my birthday dress for Saturday. Picking up Lucerne-Tainely Look Marvelous was out of the blue.. I just saw it and liked it and grabbed it. I didnt think it through or analyze like I typically do. To my surprise, I like it alot and plan to wear it after my birthday!
Have you guys shopped for any good stuff recently? Maybe I should stop, I am going to go broke one day I swear!

EYE LASHES:
I purchased these two sets of eyelashes for my birthday coming up! I have used both companies before just different styles of lashes and they worked great! I dont ever use the eyelash glue that comes with ANY eyelash set because I usually have an allergic reaction to the glue. How I know is because the moment the glue touches my eye, it starts to burn unbelievably bad! The best glue to use for false eyelashes would be the DUO EYELASH ADHESIVE. There are two types, both work the same with the same end result. The Pink tube is "Dark Tone" which means it delivers in a charcoal/black color and dries black, and the Blue tube that delivers in "Clear/White" and dries clear.
Note:
One way to test if you are allergic to the glue is to put a tiny bit of it in the center of your arm where it bends. (the spot where blood gets drawn from you because the vein is there) <~ I hope you know where I am talking about! Haha I dont know the name of that area and thats the best way I could describe it! - Allow the glue to sit for a few minutes. If after 3-4 minutes you do not feel a burning or itchy sensation, remove the glue. Let your arm sit for another 3-4 minutes. If after that time frame you feel absolutely nothing, then you should be able to use the glue without a problem. Although, at any point you feel a burning or itching sensation remove the glue IMMEDIATELY, go to the washroom and clean the area with soap and water! It may itch and burn slightly after that is over with, but it will eventually go away. Nothing serious will happen to you. Infact, that is the safest way to test for an allergy for a product like this. As a Professional Makeup Artist this is a procedure I do to test on my clients. It has also been tested on myself multiple times.
FOREVER 21 PIGMENTS:
I purchased these pigments together as they were in a little bag for $1.80. Why not? I don't own very many pigments, but I wanted to grab these to use for my nails! I saw on Beauty's Bad Habit Blog, nail art she performed on her nails using eyeshadow pigments. I will be using her technique in a few short days for my birthday! Stay tuned!!
Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette, ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I am a dark eyeshadow kinda girl. I can't help it! I just love what it does to my eyes and how seductive it looks! These eyeshadows are perfect... love the texture (smooth and creamy) and they hold up so well! This is the new palette for the Fall of 2011. They revamped their Smokey Eye Palette from last year and made the box thinner and changed up some colors. Hope you like it too!
Wet 'n Wild has stepped up their game!! In the past, I wouldnt have bothered with them, honestly. NOT because they are so inexpensive, but because the quality of their products was terrible! Now, let's be real.. we all cant help but skim past the Wet 'n Wild section at the drug store and see what they have. They're lip glosses are pretty awesome and their eyeshadows are pigmented. What more can you ask for? I great swoop over the eye, a glow on the lippie and you're all set! Wet 'n Wild does have a color range in this collection! Neutrals and Purples! Count me in for more WET 'N WILD!
Real Techniques: Starter Kit Brush Set! If you follow Pixiwoo on YouTube or Blogger, then you know what I am talking about! Pure PERFECTION! Those two women are simply amazing. Artistic, professional, and just outright perfect! Sam, from Pixiwoo, teamed up to make these brushes! How fab is thattttt!!! I saw her many videos using these brushes and I couldnt stand anymore NOT having them! I seriously went all over my state in search for these, as the Ulta's near my town did not have them in stock! "Hi, I was wondering if you had the Real Technique's Starter Kit Brush Set available in your store?" "Uhm, no I apologize but we're sold out!" - Yeah, I got that just about every single day for 2 weeks! I stopped calling like a stalker for a few days and finally called one random afternoon just because I had an itch to see if they had any! "Yes, infact, we just got them in but we have 1 left!" --- UHM! I drove so fast to that Ulta I thought I burned out my tires! She just got them in and they were sold out already! I guess people in New Jersey love Pixiwoo and these brushes just as much as I do! Here in the US, Ulta has them retailed @ $15.99 in the store, although their website changed to $17.99. I would hurry before the prices go up!
These brushes are soft, easy to use, and are my new love! I have put aside some of my MAC Brushes for these... hows that!
Hope you enjoyed!

Hey Beauty Babes!
As some of you may know Sephora is having a 15% off sale, in store and online, for V.I.Bs!! So being that I absolutely loveeee that store, I had to take advantage!
I have been eyeing the Beauty in a Box By TooFaced: Endless Summer & today I finally purchased it!

I have been eyeing the Beauty in a Box By TooFaced: Endless Summer & today I finally purchased it!
How adorable and appealing does all of this look?! It just looks like a box of chocolates I cant wait to EATT!!!! (I LOVE CHOCOLATE!)
What this contains:
- MINI SIZED - 0.11 oz Shadow Insurance
- FULL SIZED (I believe it's full sized, although it's a quad and it's a limited edition so I dont know if there are other sizes. It looks big to me) - 0.17 oz Eye Shadow Quad in Lovey Dovey (sable brown with gold micro-glitter), Honey Pot (warm gold shimmer), Heaven (matte ivory) and Neptune (turquoise shimmer)
- FULL SIZED - 0.33 oz Sun Bunny Bronzer (satin suntan/ rich satin bronze)
- FULL SIZED - 0.12 oz Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)
- FULL SIZED - 0.4 oz Lashgasm Mascara in Black
- MINI SIZED - 1 oz Tanning Bed In A Tube
Everything in this Beauty in a Box is awesome!
Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)
This lip gloss is absolutely adorable! This Spring I have been infatuated with coral colors and this is just about perfect for me! I have not tried it on my lips just yet, but I know it will look great! Sephora.com states it's an "addictive, plumping, cooling sensation." Whatever it is, I can't wait to wear it all Spring/Summer long!
Sun Bunny Bronzer
(satin suntan/rich satin bronze
swirled together with my one finger)
I LOVE THIS BRONZER ALREADY!! I just swirled my finger in it and swiped it across my cheeks and fell in love! It's unrealistically light, and satin-y. I love that! Some bronzers are way powder-y and with my dry skin can really feel terrible on. NOT THIS ONE! This also has a light shimmer. It is not matte. A must have for a sun kissed look!
Eyeshadow Quad
(Top to Bottom: Neptune, Heaven, Love Dovey, Honey Pot)
All are shimmery except Heaven.
These are extremely pigmented and satin-y also! I havent tried any of them on, yet, but I have already fallen in love and know they will look great!
Tanning Bed in a Tube
I have heard nothing but great things about this self-tanner. First and foremost, it smells amazing! Like coconut-y. Thats one thing I absolutely hate about self-tanners is that they can really smell awful, but this one does not and I am anxious to try it! This is what it looks like on my hand.
It's a tan color cream, that smells great as I already said! I have not tried it yet, but I will be doing a self-tanner review in the future and this will be on there!
The Eyeshadow Insurance I did not photograph. I have used the EI before it's great! It has kept my eyeshadow on all day into night and even the next morning (in a situation where worked and then went out for some drinks with friends then slept with my makeup on.) If that doesnt say WORTH THE MONEY, I dont know what does!
Hope you all like this Beauty in a Box as much as I do! If you purchase it, let me know what you think!! Or, if any of you own the products in this box, I'd LOVE to know what you think of them all!

Hey beauty babes!
Ya'll know what a brush roll is it, right? Okay, so... I made one! Now lets start with this... I do not, and I repeat do not sew. AT ALL! So, the fact that I was able to concoct this brush roll into looking the way it looks and functioning the way it does, someone ought to give me a cookie... more like a cookie times infinity! I almost broke my new sewing machine several times due to my incompetence and lack of hand eye coordination. I am lucky to still be alive and that sewing machine is definitely lucky it didnt get thrown through my window! haha
On a happier note, this gosh darn brush roll is so stinkin' cute, and it really makes me love it even more because I made it!! Here is what it looks like! Don't make fun! hahaha It's the very first one I've ever owned, nonetheless the very first thing I've ever sewn! I refused to go with the "this is my practice one" attitude because I literally was having so much trouble making it that I was bound to make this one as perfect as can be so I didn't ever have to make another one! hahaha
Just wanted to say... you can still see the chalk lines (on the black fabric) all over the place because I needed some cheats to help me along the way. I didn't clean it up too well because I was excited to take pics and show you!

It's not super perfect, but it's perfect enough for me! It'll work for now until I eventually find one I super love and purchase it! Who knows, maybe I'll build up enough patience to actually make another one! hahaha We'll see!!
______________________________________________________
So, I was online shopping (something I do almost everyday) and I found this itty bitty train case from Forever 21 (on their website). I loveeeed it! As much as I loved it, I didn't buy it! Stupid, I know. Hubby always tells me "If you find something you loveeeee, just buy it, because if you don't the next time you actually intend on purchasing it, it's not going to be there." Now tell me this... why does that alwayssssss happen to me! Ugh!! I didn't buy the train case and about a week later (of none stop thinking about the darn thing) I went on their website and it was completely gone! Annoyed, I told him and with his reply "I told you so" I shrugged him off and searched far and wide online (and in stores) for something similar... andddd to no avail!
Just two days ago I was in Forever 21 having to exchange a sweater I purchased that I later realized I'm never going to wear... guess what pops out of the woodworks? This train case I saw ONLINE! Really, what are the odds of that! Forever 21 is always loaded with so many things that sometimes you really need to search through their stuff to find things and that can be a pain sometimes! But not this time!! WHOO HOOO!!! I found it and loved it even more!
Here are some pics from their website, as those pics are better than the ones I took... keep scrolling and you'll see the one of mine.
I haven't decided what I am going to use it for, but until then it's going to sit pretty. I figure maybe if I go to a friends/families house to do someones makeup I can stuff some things in there, or just use it to put my lip glosses, orrrr maybe my nail polishes and nail accessories! Oh the endless possibilities!!!
Hope you ladies enjoyed!

Hi Dolls!
I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already noticed) I put up some pages at the top of my blog. I added some new photos, a blog roll, an inside look to who I am (under My Story), contact information, and soon to come my Wishlist. I have so much on my wishlist - I just havent really had the chance to write them all down.. it's coming soon!
This is a much needed announced E.L.F Haul. I purchased quite a few things from E.L.F about a month or so ago and then I decided I wanted to try out MORE things, so I just waited on blogging about them until I had everything together and I tested most of the things.
I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!
I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!
I absolutely love the warm bronzer. It's got a super light sparkle to it, but nothing crazy. It's perfect for my skin tone even when I use self tanner. I havent used the HD Powder yet, but I have heard it compares to the MUFE HD Powder, and if that's the case then it's going to be perfect! The Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder is kinda dark for me right now. The blush in the pic (sorry about that) looks very pale, but it's very similar to Nars Orgasm. I'm not too crazy about the blush right now but I know in the Spring and Summer I'll definitely be putting it to use!
I haven't used the Eyeliner & Shadow Stick, but when I do I'll let you know how it turned out for me! The rest of the brushes are FAB! The 5 brushes in the center all work great! I was really hesitant. I typically use MAC brushes and I wasn't sure how these would compare, but they are really great. I use the Lip Defining Brush for my lip balms (so I dont have to use my fingers) and the bristles dont clump or fall out and it applies just the amount I want/need. I use the "C" brushes for cream eye shadows and I have had no problem with them! The last brush is one of my ultimate favorites! I heard so much good stuff about it, that I had to have it! It's a powder brush that can be used with liquid foundation too! I use it to apply my Bobby Brown Moisture Rich Foundation and it's applies it so flawlessly, I'm in love! I have the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki that I also use and they are veryyy similar. I will do a review on that in another post, but this brush is simply perfect! These are all simple and easy to clean and are really excellent quality.
I just swatched these colors for you quickly. I really havent worn any of these colors for more then 2 minutes. I can tell you that they are very pigmented. I absolutely loved the way they looked on me even with how I applied them. My favories are the last two: Mango Madness and Lilac. I will be painting my nails this week a new color and one of them will hit the top spot. I'll keep you updated!
Love this lip balm! Smells yummy and tastes yummy! If you have read my posts you know that I love to lick my gloss off. Haha So I always taste and comment on everything I put on my lips! It goes on smooth and like I said, tastes fab! It's a peachy color and just cute to throw on when you're on the go!
I do not like the conditioning balm in Strawberry Cream. Yuck! It tastes miserable! It just reminds me of the times I accidentally get my hair conditioner in my mouth when I'm showering. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens. lol) It just has these super gross taste and it looks bad on my lips too! Bad buy! The gloss in Vixen, tastes fab and goes on cute too! Very pigmented gloss and does come up like an orange/red color. I love it! And the gloss in Clear was just for a quick pick me up if I'm on the go or if I am wearing a matte lipstick that needs some lovin'. It's super glossy and alittle sticky, but I dont mind that. I actually love glosses that way because I dont lick them off as quick! hahaha
I initially purchased the TM in Apricot Beige and it was just the perfect color of my face. I dont really mind if I am just trying to hide my rosacea, but I do want some color if I am leaving the house with just tinted moisturizer on so I purchased it in Honey. It gives me alittle more color without overdoing me. Its nothing special but it does the trick and I cant complain. I use a Sephora brand TM and their's is more pigmented and lasts longer, but c'mon this was a buck! I'm really not complaining. As you can see I havent opened the concealer. I use a MAC concealer presently and just havent had the opportunity to play around with this yet. I will eventually and keep you updated!

I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!
I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!

Hey Dolls!
I went shopping. Ugh! Such a guilty pleasure! It's really my dad and my hubby's fault! If my father ever saw me upset about something, anything, he'd automatically hand me a $100.00 bill and tell me to go buy myself something! He says when he was younger my grandfather would hand him money and say the same thing if he was ever upset! He claims it worked for him every time and he was going to follow the same tradition with me! Heck! I'll take it! Haha Also, my ever so amazing hubby thinks the same thing! Boy can this man shop! He's the perfect accessory to any day out to the mall, a flea-market, or even the food store for crying out loud! He loves to buy anything and everything and when it comes to me he'll buy whatever makes me happy! I love the feeling of having two wonderful men in my life that are willing to love and care for me! Even though they care oh so much, don't misconstrue that :] I make my own money to provide for myself and fulfill my guilty pleasures they just add to it. I'm too old to take "Daddy's money" anymore, but I'm sure if I couldn't buy it for myself, he would.
So yeah, I went shopping and bought a trillion things.
I finally purchased this from BH Cosmetics! Everyone, for some time now, has been raving about it. I typically use MAC, URBAN DECAY, SEPHORA eyeshadow, and lots of others - but I havent tried these! I have heard they are very pigmented and long lasting. I have searched far and wide for any negative reviews and nothing. So I went on BH Cosmetics' website and purchased it for $18.95 with 15% off. (coupon code: wntr10 - if you plan to purchase one!) I haven't received it yet due to obnoxious weather conditions here in the states, but when I do, I'll make sure you hear all about it!

Lately I've been obsessing over black and white stripes! I have no idea where it came from! As you can see from my banner up top, I recently made a new one and incorporated it! I just love it because it's simple and classy, plus you can wear it with ANY colors you want! These following purchases derived from my recent obsession, lets see how long it lasts!
