Fabu-lash!

(Left-Right) Ready to wear Fiber applicator, Power Lash Mascara, & Volumizing Mascara

Ready to Wear Baked Shadow Trio

Swatches

With regular mascara (i have absolutely no lashes smh)

with one application of the fiber & mascaras

Tada! the more u apply the longer & fuller they get. They really do look like false lashes in person.

1 of 2 Mac Minerlize Shadow given to me by my mom (my son broke the other one >_<)

I've been on a mission to get plump long lashes (w/o the false lashes) 4 a while now. So this past week while I was washing dishes i decided to turn on the tv low & behold the tv was on HSN (my husbands favorite store aside from Dollar Tree). I was going to do my usual routine of abruptly turning the channel  but the cosmetic "showstopper" caught my eye. Just my luck, eh!. Anyways they were advertising a fiber eye lash extender combo that included a baked eyeshadow trio, 2 voluming mascaras, & a fiber lash extender for $39.99 so you know for that price i had to try it. I recently got it in the mail & boy do i love it!!! My lashes have never & i mean NEVER been so long, full, & bold in my entire life! The set sold out shortly after i purchased it but they do have each individual item available for purchase at a greater price of course. Ready to Wear is the BOMB!!!

Summer brights..

Ahhhh, OPI has some of the best nail colors out there i must admit. I cannot get enough of their gorgeous vibrant nail polish!! This past weekend I took a trip to Ulta OMG that store is HEAVEN on earth. They have every single OPI & china Glaze product u can imagine not to mention the endless cosmetic products. I literally lose my mind in that store every single time especially w/ the great deals they have (buy 1 get 1 free etc.). I bought 7 nail polishes, 2 NYX lipsticks, 2 Urban Decay Shadow Palettes, & a NYX glitter liner. Here are pics of the polishes (my son broke my "Gargantuan Grape" so some of the polishes are messed up w/ green polish, grrr!) :

"Need Sunglasses?" "A Grape Fit" "Modern girl""That's Hot Pink" "Dim Sum Plum"

PeachyKeen... My new <3

They all have great coverage except the "Gargantuan Grape" which was somewhat translucent (but my son already broke it -_- so...). The O.P.I polishes are priced at $8.50 & the China Glaze is an affordable $4.50-$6.00. Pick your poison!

Crackled Tarnished Gold

I recently got the new Gold shatter from China Glaze's Metallic Crackle Collection & decided to pair it w/ my "Blue Away" Sally Hansen Insta-Dry nail polish (for swatching purposes). It came out cute well at least i think it did. Honestly, the Sally Hansen Insta -Dry is good (aside from the akward square applicator brush) it provides great coverage w/ 2 coats (ain't no OPI though). but Hey, I'm all for anything  that dries quickly; Lord knows i hate to wait. Anyways, here's the swatches:

Sally Hansen Insta Dry "blue away" & China Glaze "Tarnished Gold"

My other Sally Hansen Products...(haven't tried them yet)

"Black Out" "White out" & "Jade Jump"

I would recommend using a quality clear top coat. I took a shower & the polish immediately started to chip & peel away ( i had on a revlon 60 sec top coat).

Shoeturnity...

MIA Canvas Wedges

Steve Madden Groom Sandal (picture does no justice)

I know i said i would stop shoe shopping a few post ago, about that..um yeah..I LIED!!! BIG TIME! My relationship with shoes will last for a shoeturnity (we even have our own language lol)!Yesterday i was bored so i decided to hit up T.J Max with the intent to just browse. That was clearly far fetched. I bought a tassel top handle purse by B. Mackowsky (prob spelled that wrong idgf) & a lovely pair of "MIA" canvas wedges. Normally i don't buy shoes from discount stores cause they never have my size (yeah my foot is big lol) but yesterday i got lucky. I got my designer wedges for $30 that's more than 60% off!!! WINNING! Anyway, a few days ago i purchased a pair of Steve madden "Groom" sandal from Steve Madden.com they were on sale (nothing worth mentioning though). I love love love them! I've been wanting them for some time now but of course my size was sold out, checked back monday & BAM! they where back  in stock!I'm so thankful they got a replenishment cause these shoes are to die for, bling blinging! I'm so ready for summer ;)

Aside from the nip-age (nipple cleavage)& bushy hair i love this pic of me!!

Recently i've been having some serious issues w/ my complexion. My skin particularly my eye  & cheek area has been extremely pale. I admit I have been avoiding the sun at all costs but damn, there is no reason i should be this colorless in mid summer. After days of frustration I decided to read the ingredients in most of my facial products & to no surprise to me they all are loaded w/ chemicals. So i decided to rest the artificals down for a while & opt for something more natural, cocoa butter ( i usually only do this in winter)! The cocoa butter has improved my skin tone so much that i don't even have to wear blot powder to darken my skin tone (i mean who does stuff like that anyway LOL). I know cocoa butter seems kind of heavy for summer but i'm in a/c of the time so its working great!Anyway i'm proud to say this summer i do not & will not to wear any other make up other than lipgloss as shown above =D! yay me!

Shattered Blues..

Left-Right) Turquoise, Navy, Blue

Poor paint job just done 4 swatching purposes

As you know i have a serious infatuation w/ OPI nail polish. Recently they released the remaining 3 of their 7 Shatter polishes ( to include ..Red, white, navy, silver, Turquoise, Blue, navy, & black), so you know this was a purchase i could not help but make, after all a girl has to have the full collection -__-  . I tend to do my nails at a salon usually however  i like having my own nail polish stash for touch ups in between pedicures & fill ins.

Let there be height!

Lastnight my husband decided he was going to go on an alcohol escapade so of course i had to watch my son all morning& what seems like all afternoon. Anyway, I have been "browsing" thru the new stuff out for fall. Needless to say i have mad quite a few unnecessary purchases this morning, mostly shoes, God help me!!! I thought i'd share a couple of my "hot" buys w/ you guys :)

Great Timing..

Recently i've been having  a serious obsession w/ watches.  There's just something about a nice watch makes an outfit come together perfectly. I pretty much would wear any brand of watch provided its cute but my favorite makers by far are Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, & Movado. A few months ago i saw this cute Tortoise/Rose Gold time piece while "browsing" thru Nordstrom's  (tampa)  so whipped out my Credit Card & tada My new handy dandy watch..

 Description:

Mini Combmination Haul

I'm absolutely in love with Target. I like to think of them as my one stop shop for food, clothing, & whatever i may need at the time.  Not only is their clothing super affordable their also extremely fashionable. I know wearing department store clothing may be considered taboo to some but i LOVE it! Here are a few items from my last Target trip:

Honey & Hive Romper --$54

Floral Rainboots (Target) -- $25

 3/4 Sleeve Blazer (Target)-- $39.99

White Cardigan  (Target)-- $10

Tank Maxi Dress (Target) -- $19.99

Dazzled!

I became a ShoeDazzle member after i saw Kim Kardashian endorsing it backing in 2010. I absolutely love her sense of style so i figured it was worth a try. Kind of pigging backing, i know. I have to admit at 1st i was quite hesitant when i saw the items in my showroom. The material seemed cheap & the fact that the store was located in Canada did not help the situation. However, recently after months of skipping i finally i found something eye catching that dazzled me. This past weekend the site was offering 50% off everything so i decided to make my first purchase :) I got the Lucia in nude for $19.98 w/ no tax or shipping charged! Overall, i think it was a great buy; couldn't be happier, at least not for the price i paid!

Can u believe it, a dust bag!   =D

& they're comfy! (s/n idk why my toe nxt to my big toe is longer than my big toe LMAO)

I love how they're nude w/ a pop of color!

 Although i know ill never wear them (not my thing) i thought it was pretty cool they gave me a free gift!

Temptation City!

I haven't purchase make-up in over a month, which is totally unbelievable. Today however I'm in the make up buying mood so i here on Temptalia's YouTube Channel looking at the swatches for the new Summer/Fall products. Whether it's the latest make-up, nail polish, or body care product Temptalia.com is my go to site for the 411 on every & anything beauty. They have beauty tips, tutorials, & reviews for all the newest products sometimes months before they come out. They also have info on the release dates of most of the products which helps me avoid long lines & product unavailability, especially when it comes to something M.A.C & their tendency to have low stock on their never ending collections.

I saw a few items that caught my eye today unfortunately. The M.A.C semi precious collection that launched yesterday & a few shadows for the upcoming Colorization Collection for Fall. I cant wait to get them :) You know i love me some pretty eyeshadow & lipstick.
