April Favorites!

From the left to the right-

Femme Couture Mineral Effects in Sandy Beach- (You can barely see this one in my picture!) This is a matte loose eye shadow powder. I love this as a base. After my primer and before my shadow- I put this on my lid. It does have lasting power and although I don't usually like loose shadow I happen to love this one. It is a really dense (but really soft) powder and it's just beautiful.

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural read this review here


L'Oreal Studio Line Hair Putty- I have been using this stuff for a few years now, I love this stuff. the texture isnt too sticky, it almost feels like lotion. However it is a little stickier than lotion but not too sticky. I love this to rub into my hair at my roots. I throw it in while my hair is damp then i use a big round brush to blow it out. It gives me nice volume at my roots. I always have a tub of this- It has been a favorite for quite some time


Finger Paints Polish in -Brushstroke Blush- OMG! I really really love this color! it is the perfect pale pink on my fingers!! I think this will be my favorite polish for months to come! I think this is a great dupe for OPI Sweetheart or Bubble Bath...So hard to capture the true color of this polish with my camera but I think I got it pretty good.....

ACT face tanner I only got a sample of this at my tanning salon because I was a bit skeptical, my face has a mind of it's own, very acne prone so I wasnt sure if this stuff was going to break me out or what. It is actually designed for your face to wear in the tanning bed and it's supposed to diminish pimples and acne scarring. It did make my scarring a little less noticeable but I think that is the tan and not the lotion. My skin tone is fair and although I do tan I burn at first. With this stuff my face didn't burn at all, it made it really tan which I really like. As for diminishing my pimples...I cant say it did that. I dont like using body lotion on my face in the bed (or in real life for that matter) so I think this is the perfect product for me. If you tan and your skin is sensitive I highly recommend this.

Maybelline- Lipstick color Born With It I dont know how I forgot about this one! It is my favorite favorite for April! It is the perfect pink lip color- a really good dupe for this would be MAC's creme cup but for half of the price!! Ive been wearing this under my Sexy gloss by Mark.

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!!

My Body Spray Collection!

I have soo many!!

Listed from Left to Right

VS: Sexy Little Things- My Favorite one! You can purchase this at Victoria's Secret as a perfume as well, the body spray is $10. It smells delicious, reminds me of Paris Hilton a bit if anybody is familiar

B&BW: Dark Kiss- If you have been reading for a while you will know this is one of my favorites! It smells sweet almost like pink sugar and kool aid in a way but if anybody remembers Sweet Cravings (By Victoria Secret) they had a candle and some lotion it was a line of things like that a few years ago...it is exactly that is what im thinking since B&BW & VS are owned by the same company

Pink: Sweet & Flirty- This one is pretty much just Sweet Pea from B&BW although it has another note to it...like a little bit more of a perfumey smell to it, a little more of a mature note in there some where to me.

Pink: Pretty & Pure- I really like this one alot it does smell really clean and fresh. Calgon Morning Glory is a good dupe for this one if a had to chose one...although I like Calgon better...why do I have this one then? Reguardless, It does have a sweeter note to it- great scent. I favor this over Sweet & Flirty


Avon Naturals: Cherry Blossom- Yummy. It does in a way smell like a cherry and also a blossom, so the name is perfect. It has a warmer vanilla like smell to it compared to the Violet & Lychee

Avon Naturals: Violet & Lychee- I wanted to say that this and Cherry Blossom are my favorite Avon scents, this one is my top favorite Avon Scent. I hate to compare to Calgon's Morning Glory again but it reminds me of it. But this one doesn't have a sweeter note (like the Pretty & Pure) it has more of a floral note, hence the Violet.

Avon: Blushing Temptations(Daring Citrus)- Even tho I really don't like citrus scents, this was my favorite out of the Blushing Temptations Bunch, I honestly cant smell any citrus. Other notes include magnolia and musk.

Avon: Blushing Temptations(Pretty Petals)- I think this is Cherry Blossom in another bottle lol. But to be true, it has notes of Jasmine, Grapefruit, and Warm Amber.

Avon: Blushing Temptations(Sparkling Plum Blossom)- Notes in this one are Raspberry, Plum Blossom (duh) and White Woods. To me, it smells like Kool-Aid.



Degree: Sweet Romance- Not Shown! I forgot about it! How could I? also really LOVE this one too! (I say that about all of em, but I love em all). You can also get the Sweet Romance deodorant, I love pairing them, it smells clean and girly.

I have def. learned one thing about myself...I have too many body sprays that smell alot alike...I am not buying anymore forever...
This is a TAG! Everybody who comes across this, Try it out and then link in the comments! I love body sprays!! They are my weakness (obviously), I wanna know everyone's best and worse (if there are any) - Thanx For Readin!

Clinique Freebies!

Hey beauties! So going on right now if you buy something from Clinique over $20 you get some goodies! You can either get the pink or the purple and I opted for the purple. I liked the pink lipstick better but I wanted the purple eyeshadow more so here's the purple collection:

What you get:

• 2 Makeup bags, one big and one small
• Dramatically Different Face Lotion- My mom loves Clinique and this lotion reminds me of my child-hood because of that- you either love it or you hate it. Im not sure what I think about it yet, I gotta try it out longer
• Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes, & Lips- this makeup remover isnt too bad, it took my day off- it is oil based tho
• Pretty Lips Color and Gloss Duo- I like the formula of this award-winning lipstick, it's nice to have it just in case im going for drama one day I can pop this out- color is quite nice but it's not something I will use on a daily (I prefer the pink one! why didn't I choose that one?)
• Lash Doubling Mascara- (claim) Magnifies lashes 2x their size and thickens them to max volume in minimum time. I personally like other mascara's better- but for me a new mascara is my favorite thing! So I am liking this although I have tried drug-store mascara's that are better than this- it's all in the wand yah no
• Clinique Color Palette- I loved the palette that was why I bought it- the colors are matte and for some reason I have been going with matte lately. I heart this little palette

All and all this is a wonderful deal and ladies were so sweet, they rung 2 of our items up separately so we can have 2 of these goodie bag's (1 for me and 1 for my momma)
Thanx for Readin!

Review: Physician's Formula

Hey ladies and zombie! I hope everybody is having a great holiday weekend! Happy Easter or Passover! I wanted to do a little bit of a review, I haven't done anything makeup lately, so my blog is missing it (and so am I). Physician's Formula is one of my favorite brand's in drugstore's. I have had the Cashmere Bronzer for quite some time but I just got the Happy Booster blush a couple day ago, I have wanted it for a long time!

Cashmere Bronzer (in the lightest shade) - So I have been tanning for a couple weeks (which I have sensitive skin, I have found the Perfect Face Tanning Lotion which I will include in my favorites) and when I got this product it was too dark for my face, I hated it. (I was NC15). Now that I am a couple shades darker, I think it is the perfect bronzer. I comes with a little mirror and a little bronzer brush. I just use my big bronzer brush but the mirror comes in handy throughout the day. It is supposed to make your face feel soft and nourished and it is very soft on my skin. It also last's about 8 hours with primer and liquid foundation on my face- I did pay about $12 One thing about this product that I did not like- I am expecting the packaging to stay in tact! With this one, it did not- The compact was glued together, not bolted. The packaging is really cute, but...it just didn't stay together.  Also, the pan fell out of the compact!!  Would I purchase this again? I like the color- it is perfect for my skin color (now) and also it does feel very lightweight and soft....but it fell apart on me....I would rather try something else. I love Physician's Formula and I dont think I am ever going to stop buying it because aside from this poorly made item, Physician's Formula is one of my favorite brands.

                you can kinda see where is ripped in this picture


Happy Booster Blush (in natural)- When I heard it smelled really good, I knew I wanted to try it just because of that. On top of that, packaging is so cute-a chrome pink. The hearts that make up the blush color are really pretty as well. I really like how it 's 5toned and not just one color. This blush is perfect for layering. Depending on how blushing you would like to look for the day (or night) you can layer it on- It is really beautiful.  It isn't too heavy at all either, nice and light but it really does give you a natural blush to your cheeks. the Natural color is basically my dream blush color. They also use natural plant extract's that are supposed to help protect your skin & that give you the same effect of endorphins (and endorphins make you happy!) I don't really know about all of that- I just know I love the color, the formula, and the scent as well so then yes, it does make me Happy! lol.  This also comes with a mirror and a little brush. . Would I purchase this again? absolutely! I really am so Happy I bought this Happy Booster!

Here's some swatches of them: (sorry, not the best but I hope you guys can see it ok!, let me know!)

Keeping A Journal (for exercising)

Hey My Lovely Followers!! I am so glad I have so many! over 30 is really a blessing for me and as long as you guys keep reading, I am gunna keep posting! I love blogging it is so much fun and thanx for all of your support and comments!! Just a quick side note about My Healthy Journey what has been helping me is keeping a journal about everything I eat, drink, and all the work-outs I have been doing so that way I can track my progress!

                 They were a dollar a piece!! sweet! I love little things like this!

Mainly I have been trying to stay away from red meat, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, among other things.

in order to lose 1lb a day :  How much you weigh x 10 = How many calories you should have a day.

Workout:
4 days of cardio for 20 mins. Like I will go for a jog or ride our exercise bike.
4 days of strength: 1: Butt and Legs    2: Abs & Back    3: Shoulders and arms   4: Stretch for like a half hour
(you can do both strength and cardio in the same day if you prefer, but I did ask around and a lot of trainers have told me you should have one day of rest)

It has been working for me I look slimmer, I feel better, and of course I am much healthier! Don't forget to treat yourself once in a while tho!! Thanx for reading too!

Cute Storage and Organization Tip

hey everybody! My major used to be Architectural & Interiors I have an obsession with being organized and I just love little touches in a room. I am really fascinated with architecture and interiors, so I am always on the hunt for great adorable deals. I picked up some stuff recently pick little things up all the time so I wanted to share some things with you guys I am sure you will all enjoy!

I was shopping at Big Lots and decided between this or Revlon Colorstay invisible lip-liner....I was not sold in that "invisible" mess (anybody tried it?) so I opted for the much more practical, useful high-heel ring holder! Dont you love?!

Me and BFFF had to drive her mama out to Pittsburgh to catch a plane this past weekend so we decided to stop at Ikea while we were out there. I am really crazy about organization especially when it comes to paper everywhere. Something about seeing a bunch of paper on the floor makes me wanna puke! (im so weird, I know) Love these: 2 of them for 5 bucks!
