Shopping My Stash: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Venetian Blue...

Friday, June 05, 2009

I've had this Revlon Matte e/s in Venetian Blue FOREVER. I didn't know how to work it, still don't. lol! But last night, I just put on the lid, added some black eyeliner and mascara....



And I love it!! I once watched a You Tube where a girl was like she didn't like it because it wasn't pigmented enough...





What in the hell was she talking about? Seriously, this is one coat of eye shadow. I didn't build that intensity!!

Review:Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat....

Thursday, June 04, 2009

From the time I heard Traycee of K.I.S.S. talk about Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat on one her You Tube videos I was destined to try it. But, every time I see it in a store, whether its CVS or Trade Secret or Ulta, it ranges in price between 16.00-25.00! Well, The Good Lord above led me to Ulta where they sell a 1.7 ounce travel size that was 4.00. Thank You Jesus!!! Lol!

Initially, I thought that I would use that 1.7 tube up in a two maybe three applications. But, I found it you don’t need that much for short hair like mine and it’s not a slathered-on deep conditioner. Its like a light lotion for your hair. I tested it with shower cap and 15 min under the dryer and shower cap and no dryer…same results of soft hair that lasted long after washing it out and drying the hair. I love that it takes only a dollop and no heat to get what I’ve been getting with a tub of deep conditioner and 20 mins under the dryer. I’m definitely putting my pennies aside for a full tube. I’ve figured that if I buy it at CVS it will go toward my Extra bucks or buy it at Trade Secrets and it goes toward my TS Beauty Points and coupons.

Victoria's Secret's Mini Haul....

Do you know that Victoria's Secret is revamping the Very Sexy Makeup Line( Again...*side-eye*) and all of it is 75% off?


I came across a old old OLD 'merchandise certificate' from Victoria's Secret while cleaning a lock box out. I call the store and spoke with a manager who said they would take it. And they did! All 14.78 worth....
I picked up eye shadows in Primal and Vice, lip gloss in Juicy Acai and lipstick in Beg Me.

My VS didn't have much left. Some wack foundations and testers....Did anyone get anything? And when is their semi-annual sale in beauty start? They had sale stuff in lingerie part already...

Review:Biore’ Skin Preservation Dual Fusion Moisturizer +spf 30....

Wednesday, June 03, 2009


I’ve been wearing a facial moisturizer since 1995, the year I started college and moved to Rock Hill SC, the SC capital of hard water. It was essential to ‘lotion”down or be an Ashy Larry. Since then the quest of the perfect moisturizer has ranged from ‘never going to find it’ to ‘almost there’ to ‘Holy Grail'. Holy Grail of Facial Moisturizers? It is here and it is at Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, and Rite Aid… any store that you can get your prescription filled and buy Funyuns at the same time.
Biore Skin Preservation Dual Fusion is a mix of cloud light moisturizer and SPF 30 sunscreen. It comes out in a green and white combo. All you need is one pump for the entire face.I love it for a daily moisturizer and have sometime put on at night by mistake just so I feel it on my face. I also adore the fact that the Skin Preservation line is for women in between acne years and wrinkle years. I still have a bit of monthly acne but no wrinkles.Its the drugstore moisturizer perfection I’ve have been waiting for. I approve it!!

Review: Dove Clinical Protection in Original Scent...


The battle of the summer time sweat is on and I’m here to take charge on the battle lines!! I thought it was time to step it up on the sweat patrol and get prescription strength antiperspirant . I bought Dove Clinical Protection and so far I like it. This deodorant has directions, too! You must put on at night and then in the morning? Sometimes you can skip the morning application it says…. Take it from me…DO NOT SKIP. It will not hold you down. Plus, I still was sweating heavily regardless of the application. But the positive things that keeps me putting it on day after day (and I paid 7.88 for it, and going to use it up) is that is masks odor like a pro and I’m irritated applying it after shaving. I think I’ll skip buying it again. Anyone used ‘prescription strength’ antiperspirant?
