Some link love...

Hey guys! Super warm and rainy day today. That equaled out to not a good makeup day. Though I have to sing praises to Make Up For Ever's aqua creams. I wore #13, which is a pinky champagne color, and it held up really under the humid air.

Went to TJ MAXXX and was trying to find a summer bag. Alas, I left without a new bag, but was able to pick up an unopened, 1oz Pink Sugar Sensual! I do not know many people who actually like this scent, and it may be a bit heavy for summer, but I LOVE IT!

Also got a small, cross body bag that is black and pink for when I go shopping. Efficiency is the way to go!

Don't forget guys, for those who love and are into drugstore makeup, the Sunday paper carries many coupon circulars that contain great coupons on Cover Girl, L'Oreal, Garnier, Rimmel, Sally Hansen, etc. Make sure to match these up with store circulars for the ultimate in beauty deals. Places like Rite-Aid and CVS have store cards for additional savings, or Wal-Greens has register rewards that you can use towards future purposes.

A few other places you can find me...

Good luck on your next drugstore haul. I need to get my facial on and then get to bed!

Small haul 5/20/2011

Another small haul for the week. I purchased this set as part of HSN's "Today's Special" that they had advertised.

Inside of this kit, there was a full size Bad Gal Lash, a deluxe mini of High Beam, a full size Instant Brow Pencil in Medium, and a not yet released to the public Cha Cha Tint.

This tint is beyond gorgeous. They call it a Mango colored tint, and depending on your skin tone, may or may not hold up to that description.
Cha Cha tint is very much like Posie Tint in that it is quite milky and thicker than Benetint. It is super easy to blend, but like Benetint, has a small window of blend time. On cheeks, it gives a coral-peachy-orange glow. I mean your cheeks actually look juicy. That is the best word to describe this! On lips, after two coats for me, I find that the tint actually leans a bit orange red, which is swoon worthy. It has been cloudy here, and my apartment does not get decent light, but I will try swatch this soon. I do not think any of the other swatches I have seen do it justice, but if you must see this, go to hsn.com to purchase, or www.temptalia.com for swatches. Thanks again!

Face vacation...what?

Ah yes, I have been staying relatively product free this week. The weather here in Michigan has gone from hot, to cold and damp. My skin and these changes are not really simpatico.

Have not really done much the past few days. They have been a little rough for various reasons. I do not know why I keep putting off my Crown brush order (I am doing the makeup for a wedding that will take place in a month and half), and I really need to do so. If you are ever in the market for new, quality brushes at moderate prices, head to www.crownbrush.com. This company is based out of Crown Point, Indiana, which is about 25 minutes from my hometown there.

I am looking forward to getting my new Benefit package from HSN. It contains the new Cha Cha tint that is not available in stores yet. You can see high quality swatches of it at www.temptalia.com.

Alright, I should head to bed now. Am super thankful I still have some Mario Badescu Buffering lotion. The change in weather has broken me out :(.

A small CCO Haul

I hope everyone's weekend went well! I went back home to spend some time with my Mom, which was too short, but her birthday is in two weeks, and I shall be back. I was fortunate enough to stop by Michigan City and the CCO at Lighthouse Place. I was able to score the Alakazam Chocolate eye kit from MAC from the Magic, Mirth, and Mischief collection.

In that same trip, I also acquired Pink Copper, Spiritualized and Fuschia pigments. My intentions were to pick up some more Bobbi Brown products and even head to the Bare Escentuals store for brushes and blushes, but ran out of time. I will have swatches of these products up later. Did anyone haul this weekend?

Just another day...

It is starting to get really warm outside. That is a good and bad thing. I am looking forward to warm nights, being out with friends, and working out and sweating twice as much as I normally do. Which always makes me feel good. It also means that sweater season is over, and that makes me quite sad. Well, I am still without work. I really wish the last place could have worked out, but there was way too much going on there to justify staying there. I do miss the paychecks, and the lifestyle those paychecks paid for.

I have a wedding coming up where I will be doing the makeup. I have slowly and steadily gotten my kit up to par for this event. It is for a close friend that I am hoping to make very happy. This is our gift to her. I still have to purchase more brushes, cotton and such. The greatest thing would be word of mouth. To have a few of these to do over the summer for supplemental income would be amazing. I am thinking of ordering a cube, that way it is simple, and I still get paid at point of service.

I am really loving the Hello Kitty perfume my best friend bought me from Sephora. It is such a summery scent. And I also have to mention that Tarte's Amazonian clay 12 hour wear blushes are AH-MAY-ZING!

OVERHAUL! Let's change the music!

Whew! I have not been here in a while, huh? I am thinking of completely changing the direction of this to what I am currently into now. Yeah, girly girl here we come. I am hoping to have a background designed, and will update this pretty regularly. Am really excited.

1:53am Monday Morning

Im up, tired...but I unfortunately got somewhat of a second wind. Am feeding Radar ham as she is Radar, and she is quite demanding.

Today was alright. Started well, ended badly.

Am considering revamping room as it is...well...undone. Stressing out about everything and then nothing.

I dont know....bagh!
