Dollar Store Finds (:

Hey ladies hope you all had a great weeekend, I know I did- very relaxing. I feel like ive been non-stop for the past couple weeks so I went to Rainbow got the cutest maxi dress, Bought my mom a gift card to get her nails done and also I went to the dollar store! yay! thought I would share witcha, everything was a buck a piece-
  • Nail Art Nail Polish in Silver, Black, & Pink. I love these! the brushes are really thin- great for nail art.
  • ELF defining eye brush. I dont have a angled eye brush so I figure why not pick this up and give it a try. I think it will be good for the crease. 
  •  One of the main reason I went to the dollar store was for my hair ties. I love the color's of them! (sorry you cant really see the true color of them) The pastels are too cute! they will match all my pastel nail polish ive been obsessing over
  • Bobby Pins
  • Another reason I went was to get these bra clips. Never tried them but I cannot wait to. all for for a buck. remember the infomercial about these? they used to be like $10 for 2....awesome deal

  • I usually pick up tealight's every time I go because I burn alot of Tarts and Melt's
  • Aloe Vera hand soap. I love the aloe vera hand sanitizer because it makes your hands soft as opposed to the regular stuff that makes my hands seriously dry, that also goes for when I wash my hands too- they always become dry- so I seen this and grabbed it! 
  • Has anybody tried the Aloe Vera drink??? I wanna try it, but I dont wanna spend money on it if I dont like it- its expensive! lol
Just a fun little sunday post thought my bloggers would like. What have you found for a steal from the dollar tree?  Thanx for reading!!

All About Icing Products

For me Icing products are definitely a hit or miss. What I got from Icing the pat few weeks:


1. Angled Brush $5
2. Icing Nail Polish in $3
3. Flaunt Beauty- My Sultry Palette $1 (on sale)

1. Angled Brush: I purchased this because I really needed one, the only one I had was from my Milani Brow Fix and it was getting beat up, it really wasn't made for long time use + I use that one to apply my gel liner as well. When I got the Icing brush home I realized that it was a larger brush when it came to the actual bristles and that is a downfall for me. Because of how large/wide it is, I really don't like to use it for gel liner, it doesn't give me an accurate, steady line. Not as precise as my Milani brush so I do use my Icing one as my brow brush and the Milani one for gel liner still.

2. Nail Polish in Preppy Purple- My favorite color for the season is the pastel purple so when I seen this I really wanted to try it and was so exited about it! Even tho I do have an addiction of sorts to this purple pastel, I had one from Avon (and later bought one from Sally Hanson). When I got it home, I realized it wasn't that true pastel color I was hoping it would be, it does have a shimmer to it which makes it look a little on the silver side. Wasn't what I thought I was purchasing so Icing nail polish can be deceiving! The color isnt bad. Beware: you do have to apply a few coats (3) to get the color shown!

                     So for the most part they look the same color, Right?

Kind Of...I guess it was fate for me to pick up the Icing polish just because I already have 2 other pastel purples. But, I was thinking the preppy purple was going to be more of a pastel and less of a shimmer. Now, if I am ever going to buy polish from Icing I will swatch them at the store. (no your not allowed, but it is hard to define the true color from seeing it in the bottle.)

3. Flaunt Beauty- My Sultry Palette. This I am really impressed with! First of all the packaging is intriguing and adorable so that is obviously a huge plus! For a dollar you cannot beat this very highly pigmented palette. It comes with 2 shadows, 1 blush, 2 glosses. The shadows are very shimmery! well not too shimmery, they have just enough shimmer. With the exception of the blush which isn't very pigmented, but for a dollar it is a wonderful deal! Enough said, the pictures will tell all:
                           "I love the print that looks like lace, so cute!"

2 on the Left are Shadows: Blue Hypnose Brown Smolder. Middle: Blush Warm Rose. Right: Lip Glosses: Top Spicy Bottom Bewitched


Swatched with one stroke name from left to right: (Shadows) Hypnose, Smolder (Blush) Warm Rose (Glosses) Spicy, Bewitched

All and all my favorite item is the Sultry Palette! Do you have any Icing products that you love or hate? I hope everybody is enjoying their Sunday! Thanx for Reading too!
