-Bourjois Eye Shadow Trio, gently used

Rural Glamour Weekend...

Happy Monday!!

This weekend was nothing big. As you can see, I'm still rocking the messy, curly fro...

But Saturday, I blow dried it out and flat ironed it to see if I had retained any length. I'm at 9 weeks post going into ten. I trimmed before the last relaxer. To my surprise, I did keep some length!! I don't directly blow dry my hair. Only hooded dryer and air-dry. I didn't do any heat since the last relaxer day til' Saturday. My hair is super thick all the way down to the root. I'm so happy! Look!! In the back, its shoulder length. I haven't been that long since I was pregnant.

My mom gifted me with some Always Infinity Maxi Pads that she found at a salvage grocery store .10 a piece. She got me 30...Thank God for frugal Moms!

Check it out!! You just don't know my happiness.....:)

Tried these Edy's Maxx Ice Cream...Skipped them if you don't like alot going on in you ice cream. They wayyyyy too much for me.

Rural Glamour: Beauty Samples....For Free:)

Hi Peeps!

I just wanted to share with you a little free HAUL of sorts. In the last two weeks I have recieved a couple of samples that I signed up for online( styleforfree, Wal-Mart, Sweeties Swag...). Now, the catch is that you have to WAIT, like a couple of weeks, for your goodies.

I got some hair samples, body and toothpaste above...


I got this yesterday from Allure magazine.

My favorite site is Style For Free. Another tip is to visit EVERYDAY. Things get updated.:)


I also sign up for free food, home and kids stuff and update that on Fatback and Sushi.

Shopping My Stash:Loreal Colour Juice vs.Wanting MAC Naked Honey Lipglasses...

I want those MAC Naked Honey Lipglasses...geez. I haven't even seen them in person but the raves about them plus the swatches on Temptalia have me wanting them... but a $14 lipgloss, that I already have similiar dupes to, is not sensible!! IF I did have that extra change to throw around, I doubt I would. I'm not knocking anyone else's monetary habits but the lessons learned in poverty have been the greatest blessing to me!!


I dug around in my stash and found these L'Oreal Colour Juices in a array of shades similiar to the what I saw in Naked Honey. I think I might have hit the nail on the head for some of them!!!

Here are my swatches and the names of the shades in order: Twilight Pink, Amber Dust, Rays of Copper, Sunkissed Sienna, Caramel Creme and Mandarin. The first four are from a L'Oreal collection that they do every summer called Bronze Glow. They are from 2008. Caramel Creme, you can buy at any drugstore, and Mandarin was a LE Colour Juice that's amazing!

Rural Glamour Weekend...

Happy Monday!!

So here are the beauty happenings of the weekend!:

I got my BeautyFix box that I won via a giveaway from BlackVixenBeauty....

Here are the goodies...I was playing all weekend long! I will probably review some of it:)
Won this contest:) I found it on one of those promotion pages in July 2009 Lucky Magazine....Its for a Wet N' Wild package worth $50( which has got to be ALOT of WnW lol!) All I did was take a picture of a display of the glosses on my phone, text it in and they sent my a text saying I won. Then I had to text my info and stuff. Those 'beauty promotions' work...Remember?
Been sporting this wild,fluffy, curly, faux afro hair for about two weeks. I'm 9 weeks post and my buns look rough with all that new grow so I switched to this...

Sunday, Spencie made me a necklace out of green construction paper...Amazing isn't? Lol!! Very avant-garde in the length.:)
