I saw this on http://www.wwd.com/ this morning. Stila is kinda hit or miss for me. I got some good stuff then I have had some questionable stuff( mostly from Marshall's). But,I'm loving the Black Barbie, the trio looks delicious, and I just want to can for collector's item. I couldn't get more info, I think since I don't subscribe, so I don't know when this is released...:(
So....I haven't been posting as frequently( if you want to call missing one day "frequent") is because I lost the THIRD of three camera USB port cords in a year. *sigh* All of my goodness from new nail NOTD's to Shopping My Stash posts are all in my camera and can't be transferred to the computer til' I can get a cord THAT FITS. My Mother(bless her heart...she sometimes loves me or either feels sorry for me) found one at the Dollar Tree but it doesn't fit. I been trying to conserve gas and money since I got a 288.00 Utility bill. WTF!?? So I'm on the hustle to pay that....And the house don't even stay that warm and turn the heat off at night!! The City of Union is Ponzi Scheme-ing me on my bill, I tell you.
In other news:
-I've been loving Oprah's Best Life Series...Today is my other favorite girl crush, Suze Orman. She lets you know the game!! Young, Broke, and Fabulous is an awesome book.
-Worked on my fashion lookbook last night.It's so pretty. I also started a home and design lookbook without the book( I got my clippings together). I got to get Barnes and Noble for a sketchbook soon...
-Also comprising an argument to get my aunt Pat let me have her elliptical machine or at least let me store it in a guest room...or put ya' niece on a payment plan.
-The boys and I have decided that they will be part of the Friday/Saturday House Clean up. They like dusting and wiping tables and my Kelton Patrick is a whiz with the broom. He got one of the million,zillion of their Matchbox cars from under the couch with one swipe of the broom.Genius.We will see how long this will last.Spencer already asked me how he will be rewarded.
-I've become such a conspiracy theorist because of the run-ins with Fashion Boy. He thinks EVERYTHING is a conspiracy including he not being able to find a job in Charlotte after he moved up there WITHOUT one. Or how he has to pay for parking Uptown.Or how he can't just run the store and back home but get stuck in traffic or in a horrid line in the store in Charlotte. I told this CRACKHEAD when he BEFORE he moved the QC was not a game. I giggle to myself when I hear to conspiracy story from him about living up there. Country Folk.Now, I look at everything as conspiracy like that Utility Bill or Convenience fees...
-Which brings me to this too funny yet true You Tube about conveniece fees:
-Will something good come in the mail? I mean, Christmas holidays, every day was a good mail day now its bills, paper trash, my Student Loan payment( wait...), dumb stuff.
-I got leaves for days out on my lawn....I don't want to rack them...I thought that is what the lawn people do( I pay them to do) but he said that it would be $100 to clean the front and back of my house of leaves. *blank stare* Chile' please.
-Got some great opportunities for the blog coming up even a maybe a trip!
-I won this from Makeup Masala!! Review coming soon...:) Thanks again and again Toma!
-I figured out that I can wear tights and leggings together I don't look corny!!!
-I've been on Facebook like crack for the last month. It's crazy talking to old WU people and seeing pictures of myself from 1996 being posted.
I had the opportunity to try April Rain Skin Science Night Rainew. The challenge was to use it for 35 days to experience the night cream.I love moisturizers just for the night!
"Your skin is thirsty. This ultra-hydrating, age-defying, night repair crème provides more, long-lasting moisture while you sleep with 21 hydrating elements that keep skin healthy and younger-looking. Night Rainew™ nourishes starving skin with HydroPeptide®, found exclusively in April Rain Skin Science™ products, an age-defying breakthrough that lifts away fine lines and wrinkles, and 100% organic, antioxidant-enriched Buddleja and Echinacea extracts which promotes stronger more age-resistant skin. Dermatologist tested. Allergy tested. Non-irritating. Paraben and phthalate free. For all skin types. Not tested on animals."
I saw a huge change in the skin on cheeks. My pores are smaller and my skin looks smoother.I also used it on my decollete. Night Rainew is light enough for that area and there have been no breakouts there. I recommend this as a go to night cream even for the oiliest of skin. My face loved it!
After scooping out the last little bit of Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter this morning...I was reminded to do a review on it!! I got the 1.69 fl oz. size at Target for 2.99 about a month ago. Here's the scoop:
Pros:
-I love the smell. I've read reviews where some don't like it but it puts in the mind of casual-bumping around the house-chillin' out scent. It's fresh and casual like a Saturday afternoon on the couch...
-The smell sticks to you like glue. It doesn't waver and it doesn't go away til' you are ready to take a shower or bath. I like that in a body butter.
-It's a good hand creme too. Will knock ash out like De La Hoya....
Cons:
-It doesn't soak in quickly. You'll be rubbing for minutes trying to get finished putting on lotion. But if you read the top on the cap it says,"Smooth on damp skin and massage in until it all sinks in" .So, you got what you paid for with a WARNING message like cigarettes.
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!: I didn't get the job that I interviewed for last Friday.:( I know, I know. I want to thank everyone who prayed,sent good vibes up, thought good thoughts for me...THANK YOU! THANK YOU!I had good interview and such, but Sunday, I felt like I didn't get it. Then my pastor's sermon was about not stopping for temporary and keep moving on. That spoke to me...and kinda knew I wasn't going to get the job. At least they called to tell me that they picked someone else...I give them mad respect on that because some companies won't call you at all.:)God...doesn't want temporary( which the job was a 26 week project over in June) for me. I knew it. But He has something great in the works. Everytime my savings seems to be depleting...something comes up and its still bountiful...:)
That thing about saving six months worth just in case you are unemployed is TRUTH!! lol!
Now to Stash Shopping of the day....
I'm going to be super real on ya'll. Carol's Daughter Candy Paints are TRASH. They stink,I think the natural oils in them go bad, they are thin in consistency, and they are pyramid scheme( I call every thing a pyramid scheme or a ponzi scheme if I feel like I "got Got"). When , you look at them in the tube, you think they are sooooo pretty but they come out very "dollar sto'".
This morning....I saw Candy Paint in Bossy glaring at me in the lip gloss drawer. I chose it... And figure my own Ponzi Scheme on I how effectively turned trash into treasure":
-First, you need squeeze all of extra oil that sits at the top of tube out first.
-Don't smell it...ugh
-Don't apply it directly from the tube, you'll have a greasy mouth.
-TWO LAYERS of Candy Paint will give you the color you see in the tube.
