Buy of The Century: Kiehls Creme du Corps...

Friday, April 03, 2009

True Story:

I went to Goodwill to look for a blender. My beautiful, wonderful Krups blender died on me. It's cracked at the bottom, so it leaks then it won't fit in the electric base. So instead of going to Wal-Mart and getting a $15 blender( that was cheapest I saw there) I go all the way to the 'Burg to Goodwill hoping to score a blender for like $3. My mother scored ONE of her blenders in a Salvation Army and that thing works like a charm.

So, I'm browsing the home section along with alot of others folks...It was packed. And see this bottle of Kiehls Creme de Crops Lotion. I thought "It's prob-ly $15...( which is high at the Goodwill"



$1.50...people.



$1.50 for a bottle that is filled to the brim. So naturally, I screwed it open to test it. I've own Creme de Corps before...but only in a little trial size...so I know the texture and how it doesn't smell. It's the real deal, folks!!!

This is only the second thing I've own Kiehls in a full size( I have Kiehls Musk,got it at TJ Maxx for $25)



So what's your buy of the century...can you beat ya girl? lol!!

N.O.T.D: NK Cotton Candy...

Thursday, April 02, 2009

Soooo.... ya girl fell in love with the new Sephora by O.P.I. neon colors in BOTH of the Sephora catalogs they sent me last month. But I can't come off that $9 a bottle right now. Seriously my level of recessionista is so high these days....

*Yesterday, I was trying to get to the last of my Pantene Oil Moisturiser and ended up cutting that bottle in HALF and getting to the rest of the product then I put what product was left in a ziploc bag*.


Beat that..."RECESSIONISTAS"lol!!!

So I went the hometown BSS and copped these NK neon colors...for a $1 a piece.

This is two coats of NK Cotton Candy. Its got a bit of gold shimmer in it...but you can barely set it. I saw some narrow, petite footed chick today with a similar color on her toes....

Review and Look:Sephora Colorful Palette in Chromosome X...

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

This Sephora Colorful Palette in Chromosome X was *gifted* to me. *Thanks diva!* I was so excited to work it!

(sheer plum sheen with multi-colored glitter, rich copper shimmer, vibrant minty turquoise shimmer, soft buttery gold shimmer)-Sephora...

Well, one eye is applied dry and one is applied wet or foiled.( want to guess which is which?) The colors are very sheer...packing them on didn't seen to give me the 'pop' I wanted. So when I foiled the colors on the other eye...It came out PERFECT. I love this palette!!!

Lips are MAC Om with clear gloss...oldie but goodie:)

Review: Cover Girl Lip Stain in Coy Coral #430...

Monday, March 30, 2009

Inspired by Kia to purchase this...I copped Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain in Coy Coral #430.
Where do I start? lol!! Well, as you see its a marker. Like those markers my kids have that they leave the tops off of..then are mad that they are dried up?
*Mental note:Hide this from Kel*



This is CG Outlast Lip Stain on bare lips. I just basically draw'd it on. It went smooth...my lips aren't too dry. Has a strange smell...

Added a clear gloss.
Overall: I probably will never use it again because I found that the color I picked was too bright...something I wouldn't wear out. But, I'm intrigued...I saw a bronze colored one and I might get that one...see how it works. But its nothing on a brown girl like me without a gloss. Unless you like that matte, dry look. It also stayed on me FOREVER. I washed my face, use makeup remover on my lips to get it off and brushed my teeth...AND it was still on?!!!

N.O.T.D: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lightening

Happy Monday....some you will have one!!

Well, this is a NOTD, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lightening, I created this weekend. I had allergy problems and "monthly" problems but some how that didn't stop me from painting my nails!! lol



The NOTD was inspired by this Ksubi tank that I saw in Elle magazine. I think Rihanna rocked this yellow with smiley faces mani before or was it Solange?

That wonky smile courtesy of Revlon Black Lingerie. I could find but Nubar Nail Art in Black. I plan on investing some of those SH Nail Art pens.




Then I bling'd his ass out!!! Like they do it in the country!!
Alas, cousins...this SH Insta-Dri formula in Lightening is crap. It was chipping the next morning...This is three coats...its super streaky too. Punk ass yellow polish. Sorry for all the profanity...no, not really.*shrugs shoulders*
