Quick ice cream trip....turned shopping trip!

OK so I know I haven't posted anything lately but ...but...I've been a Tad busy what with trying to win a bet , work and working out....you get the idea. Anyway today hot as it is I was craving ice cream and made a stop at Rite Aid. Well it turns out a lot of Revlon stuff is 75% off! I managed to snag a few decent color bursts. Make that three colorbursts, three mascaras and a foundation. All the foundations left were too light or too dark so I only managed that one. According to my receipt as you can see in the picture I saved $46.86!!! I paid $16.82 for everything! I was super excited to share soo hopefully some of you can head on over and snag what's left! Good luck!!

Re-stocking my nailpolish pile

Sooo my sister recently graduated from Marinello Schools of Beauty and since she found her forté doing nails I decided to give her most of my nail polishes.I know tragic...well not soo much. This gave me a reason to go shopping for more LOL. Which I did as soon as I found out Wet N wild had their nailpolish for a mere 69¢! You know I had to stock up! There might still be time for you to stock up too soo get your butt to the nearest Walgreens! 
Purchased at Walgreens:
*Sparkled
*Clear top coat
*Blue Moon
*Rain Check
*Night Prowl
*Wild Card
And I also purchased Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails in Limestone. $1.99
The other night my sister and I hit the local night swapmeet/ flee market and I found FingerPaints 2 for $1! There wasn't a whole lot to select from but I managed to purchase:
*Copper Elements
*Art You Blue?
*Lavander Highlight
* Orange You Glad
Also a few weeks ago CVS had Spoiled by Wet & Wild 2 for $3 and of course, yours truly picked up a few.
*Show Me Some Skin
*Bite Me
*The Parking Meteor Expired
*Cougarlicious
Then I found a Milani in Awesome Orange (Neon ) for around  $1.25 so I had to have that as well. Also if you purchased the new Wet & Wild Fauna collections you should have Teal or No Teal and Twining Vines in your stock pile already!
Soo ladies I have a whole box full of brand new nail polish and I've spent maybe $15! That's awesome considering I'm saving up to hit IMATS this June! (More on that in my next blog) soo start stocking up Summer is here and we need beautiful polished toe nails!!

Im back!

Hi ladies!! Sorry for being M.I.A. for soo long but I've been having technical difficulties with my dear laptop...that and other little things here and there. The good news is...I'm back! Yay! By the end of today I promise two posts one on my excitement to attend IMATS this year and another on a few makeup trips I've taken. Of course this could change to three posts because I have breakfast with the ladies in a few....which usually means...some kind of shopping! Until then, have a beautiful day!!

Dont get it twisted! Polo Association vs. Ralph Lauren's Polo

Ok soo today I made a huge discovery! Well a huge discovery that i wasnt aware of that is...lol. So today after work i decided to go browse at a local clothing store.As some of you know i will be attending a wedding in a few weeks so i must be prepared for travelling and well as the product freak that i am i knew i needed a purse, a big purse that is. So here i was browsing for over an hour, my feet killing me (after an 8 hour shift whose feet wont hurt,right?) when i found three perfect purses, i know three! i was very tempted in taking them all with me but i held on and just purchased one. A black beautiful Polo Association purse perfect for my travelling dilema. I paid the cashier and off i went .So i got home and after a short nap looked through my purchases to find out that the purse i had bought thinking it was a Polo purse wasnt a polo purse, i mean it was...but it wasnt! I mean it had Polo on the price tag and the logo was the same right?? lol Let me explain myself...the tag (that did not read, of course) clearly explained that Polo Association had nothing to do with Polo as in Ralph Lauren's Polo....and well the logo's are not the same, similar, but not the same. ahhh clearer now?? No wonder i thought i had purchased it extremely cheap! So nosy as i am i went on line and found out that Polo Association was being sued by Ralph Lauren due to this little mishap of mistaken logos. Ralph Lauren claims that his customers might confuse the two separate brands...and boy is he on the money! I totally confused the two....good thing is i did not get ripped off because at least it wasnt a made up on the streets brand....lol

On your far right you have the U.S.P.A logo (which is the silhouette of two polo players) and on your right we have Ralph Lauren's worlwide known logo of a single polo player. Interesting isnt it?? So next time your at the mall dont get it twisted if your goal has to do with either of them!

A Visit to Rite Aid

Sooo the other day my friend ( who is always keeping me in the loop about sales! thank God!) told me that there was a sale at Rite Aid a lot like the sale CVS was having. I did not get a chance to visit until this past Tuesday and sure enough many many things were 75% off or buy one get one half off, throughout the store not just the makeup department. There wasnt a lot of makeup selection left because like i said i went a little late. I only visited one Rite Aid so there is a huge chance the other Rite Aids might have a larger selection. I did see a lot of nailpolishes for sale. I am not much of a nailpolish freak but i did find cute colors and a Sally Hansen manicure kit that i got for $2.12! Soo if you get a chance to stop by your closest Rite Aid see what they have on sale and let us know if any of the products are worth paying regular price for!

My final veredict on last weekends WalMart purchases

Last weekend i had the priviledge of finding myself at  Wal-Mart where i  managed to score a few products i had been meaning to try. As the week went by i  had the chance to try a few of the products  and needless to say i am more than ready to give my personal thoughts and advice.

 Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Fierce & Tangy
I am going to have to start with sadly my least favorite product and the product i was looking forward to the most.This product truly disappointed me, reason being -the color pigmentation. Being a "color tattoo" I expected this product to be a much more fiercer orange than it really is. Did it last all 24 hours? I dont think so, plus i saw some creasing. The creasing might be due to my oily complexion so your results may differ.Will i try to work with it as a base? Yes, i definently will. Will I buy another shade? Probably not.
FINAL VEREDICT: Dislike

Rimmel London Volume Flash SCANDAL EYES MascaraI bought this item with big expectations because i am an avid Rimmel mascara user. My first try i wasnt so impressed and the wand seemed huge! I had my doubts. Then on the second try i started to warm up to it, then today i used it once more and i decided i liked it! I actually tried a different tactic when i applied it today. I opened the tube and started from the base of my lashes up a few times without dipping the wand back in the tube and waiting a few seconds in between coats. This worked wonders and im extremely happy i went ahead and purchased this product.Will i buy it again? Definently!
FINAL VEREDICT: Love!

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes
For this product i purchased two shades, ( Peach Satin and Plum Wine )unfortunantly i have only tried Peach Satin. The reason for the purchase of this product was the great reviews i had read in various blogs. I must agree that these blushes come in stunning colors and last all day. i love that they are creamy and you only need apply very little.  Will I go back and get me a few more shades? Of course!
FINAL VEREDICT: Love! 

Clean &Clear Pore Perfecting Moisturizer
This last item is a moisturizer. I was looking for a moisturizer with SPF when i spotted this one and decided to give it try. Soo im totally in love with it!This product leaves your facer super soft and ready for either the start of the day or to start your makeup routine. Plus it has an awesome cleant scent. FINAL VEREDICT: Love it!





This is it for the products i purchased at Wal-Mart this past weekend. Stay posted for a review on the Milani products i caught on sale at CVS! Also stay posted for a list of this weekends findings!
Much Luv!

A little trip to CVS .... total success!!!

Like promised on my last post, I went to CVS to checkout if this Milani sale was still going and to my surprise not only were the Milani products on sale but so were a bunch of others! Looks like throughout the beauty department certain items were marked with 50% or 75% off stickers! I managed to find me Maybelline's Mineral Powder foundation in Sandy Beige with SPF 18 for $4.99 when usually it runs around $9.99 depending where you purchase it.There weren't many items left but what i purchased was totally worth the $19.15 I spent. All of the items I purchased from Milani were under $3 so basically i went a little makeup crazy, good thing i left my ATM card at home or i would still be down there! Ladies I suggest you take a trip down to CVS and see what other goodies are on sale! Go, Go, Go before everything is gone!
P.S I almost forgot make sure you grab a Beauty Club certificate and take it to the register for 10% off your next beauty purchase with your Extra Care CVS Card.

Here is what i bought:
 







Milani Runway Eyeshadow in Shamrock. Can be used either as a wet or dry eyeshadow. Reg. Price $6.99 Clearance $1.75









Milani Runway Eyeshadow in Coffee Shop. Can also be used either wet or dry. Reg. Price $6.99 Clearance $1.75

Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation with SPF18 in Sandy Beige. Reg.Price $9.99 Clearance $4.99 (Marked 50% OFF)

WalMart Makeup Quick Trip

So today I went to WalMart and I bought a few makeup items i have been meaning to try...



Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes
Iam really excited to try this product because i have read really good reviews and the colors are amazing! On this trip to WalMart I purchased two colors Peach Satin and Plum Wine both gorgeous shades for med-dark skin tones. This go for $6.44 each at WalMart although i hear Walgreens has a BOGO special.



Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio
My friend was totally excited about this product so she went and bought a few if not all the colors available and was super excited with the results. The packaging promises 24 hour wear which my friend and fellow makeup junkie swears is true. WalMart did not have much of a selection for this product so i just purchased Fierce & Tangy at $5.84.

Clean &Clear Pore Perfecting Moisturizer
All real makeup pros should know that moisturizer is really important when it comes to your beauty regime as is SPF. This Clean & Clear product is not only a moisturizer but also a pore perfecter with an SPF 15! I definitely had to buy this item, i needed a moisturizer anyway plus its oil-free perfect for my skin type.  By the way the price on this product was $6.97.

Rimmel London Volume Flash SCANDAL EYES Mascara
  i had originally seen this display  at Walgreens for $7.49, which i thought was a bit steep for a Rimmel product. So today I found it at WalMart for a little cheaper ,$5.47.


I have yet to try any of these products but I will first thing in the morning to prep for work! I will be back with my own personal reviews! Also, tomorrow i will be shopping CVS for possibly products on sale ! FYI i was told KMART is having a $1 clearance on a few Milani items! Lotz to do tommorrow!!Much Luv and good night!

DIY Face scrubs

Ladies if anyone is interested in DIY face scrubs i want to share this link that  one of my bestest friends shared  with me http://roopcafe.blogspot.com/2008/11/brown-sugar-n-honey-face-scrub.html
If you're too lazy like i am  and don't want to read all of that, basically what this is is a brown sugar and honey face scrub. I have tried this but used olive oil instead (do not try with olive oil if your skin is oily bad combo!) Its an awesome face scrub to remove all the dead skin on the surface.
***All you need is a little bowl, brown sugar and honey. Add between a teaspoon to a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon to a tablespoon of honey (more if you want to use on the rest of your body) in a bowl and mix.

Anyone know of anymore fabulous DIY face scrubs or masks please let us know!!! Have an awesome night ladies and get your beauty sleep!
