Blue Shine...

You beauty addicts know how it goes. You see this perfect product that you must have in magazine or on a blog or on the girls are talking about it on the MUA and its a drugstore jewel. You must have it by any means...including trekking to every CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, etc til you FINALLY give up.

Well, I had given up on this Cover Girl Amaze Mint Lip Gloss in Happy Hour. It was the only one in the collection that I wanted and no drugstore had it within my area. So, yesterday I went to the CVS on Union St. in the 'Burg looking for that Borghese Perfecto Smudge Smoother that Glam-Ma Tia Williams raved about and happened to scan the Cover Girl and there it was... that blue lipgloss.




It suppose to be Cover Girl's answer to BeneFit's California Kissin'. I saw this when I scooted by Columbiana Mall's BeneFit Counter on my way to Charleston a minute ago and the SA pitched the plan...

"apply over your lipstick or any, any lipgloss and it will make your teeth brighter and the helps you keep you breath fresh too..."

Eh, I wasn't going to part $16 bones for it but thank you Lord for dupes.:)

My Love Affair with Jewelry F.O.T.D. Part I...

Thursday, July 31, 2008

In the last three days, I've been finding inspiration in my jewelry for my face each morning. I do alot of organizing at night for the next day, so each night I pick out my accessories that I'll wear with my sad Food Lion polo shirt.

This ring is raw coral, purchased at Stein Mart for $10.

The face
The eyes.

I promise to list everything I used...I forgot the bag I put all the makeup in for the post at my house.:)

Two Things to Get...

From Rimmel!!

I picked these great products up last week during Walgreens BOGO Free on Rimmel. I'll admit I'm not a Rimmel Fan. Their foundation consist of Ivory and Mo' Ivory and not a ethnic shade in sight at any Rimmel Display in my area. So if the brand is not diverse enough for ME I look passed it. I want everyone on the beauty crack known as makeup like me!!

I'm sucka for a bronzer and I got this Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sundance because I want the Rimmel Glam' Eyes Mascara and I need the "Free". It's nothing big and special in comparison to other bronzers but like it because the compact is BIG. I can take a my big fluffy brush and go to work"" without anything such as mirror or small compact getting in the way...




Check the box for "Sucka for Packaging", too for ya' cuz Jamesy.It soooo pretty! And of course like every other mascara these days it has that rubber brush. But the brush has short and long bristles alternating around. SO I apply a light coat with the long bristle side and then take the short bristle side and wiggle for length. The handle is comfortable to use and it is a great day mascara for me.

Review: Maybelline SuperStay Silky Foundation in Caramel 2 Dark...

Monday, July 28, 2008

I copped Maybelline's Superstay Silky Foundation in Caramel 2 Dark couple weeks back when I saw that 50% sticker glaring back at me. I'm always scouting around for affordable products to review and blog about and the opportunity of 50% off was glaring at me...
This is how it comes out of the pump. I'm thinking"I did get Caramel 2 Dark didn't I?" and Dark is the next to the darkest color I saw. The white liquid is a mix of primer( or "Silky Coverage Extender") and a sunscreen...
I mixed around with my finger and then with a foundation brush...
I wore it yesterday to church and topped it with a discontinued H.I.P Bronzer. I like it. It actually blended in well, looked super natural and didn't feel heavy even though it was like 92 degrees yesterday down here.
I put it on to day before work without a loose powder or bronzer. I don't like when a foundation covers everything and I look caked up. I'm impressed...:)
