Review: Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in Bronzer....

 Hi Family!!!

Today I am reviewing Physician's Formula Happy Booster in Bronzer. When I saw these in Wal Mart I thought the packaging was sooo pretty. Then I started to  search around online and I noticed two things:

-People were saying that it was sold out everywhere.

-The lack of Women of Color reviewing them.

Now there are Happy Boosters in  Beige, Translucent, and Light Bronzer that are way way way too light for me. I can look at it in the packaging and tell that wouldve been $13 down the drain. So, I thought that the Bronzer shade would work better.

 Everything about this packaging is gorgeous!! The metallic pink double compact, the perfect sized mirror, the cute brush and the pretty hearts beautiful shades of  brown, gold, pink and bronze. Bravo PF!!

Physician's Formula also added a scent to this Bronzer. They tout it as "Violet"...but it smells more "Rose" to me.

 This a swatch of the bronzer...barely. Its not a heavy pigmented  bronzer but even on the  back of my hand, it barely shows up. It has a pretty golden sheen but if you are looking for a punch packed bronzer, this is not it.

 Can't see it can you. Yep. Happy Booster in Bronzer just blended right into my cheekbone. I wasn't disappointed, though. I could tell that was going to happen after I swatched it on my hand. Its shows up in real life, glowy and subtle. Great for the day time. The best part was that I could smell the Violet scent on my face, I liked that!

Consensus:

- I like Happy Booster in Bronze but I don't love it. Is it worth $13? Depends on what you like in a blush or bronzer. If you are looking for a subtle cheek shimmer, buy it. I'll probably play around with this some more.

Jamie's Weight Loss Diaries.... #6 Weigh In

***Thursday is Weigh In Day...I weigh myself ONCE a week. I can't jump on the scale every day, all times of the day, when I feel fat, before a date....too much on my medicated brain. lol! Once a week is good for me. I'm a born again scale person. I'm  just now embracing the scale. I avoid it all thru my teens and twenties....***

February 17, 2011

+3 lbs

Up to 226lbs

(13 lbs lost since 12/30/2010)

You read that correct. I gained 3 lbs.

And I have a laundry list on how it happened. It all started when I missed a couple of days journaling my food in the my food journal.

-Then I had the weekend from hell. A fallout with my parental unit and a sick child who was two hours away from mewrecked my appetite.

-Two words: Valentine's Day. smh. That was the Ice Cream mishap day.

-The day after V- Day I ate out TWICE. One of those times was a Chinese Buffet that didnt go too great.

-I worked out only twice.

And I gained 3lbs back.

I was completely devastated but I've been through worse in life so I used Thursday to bounce back to journaling, better food choices and I've worked out twice since yesterday already. I'm determined to get the weight off and set backs will always come and go. That's life.

Did my mid-week grocery run yesterday and picked up my food for the weekend too. I've also figured out another weak point in my eating habits I'm going to have to work on...My mother's Sunday afternoon dinner. This past Sunday, she made Chicken Tetrazinni and I ate it a total of THREE times. I'm a bit surprised about my 3lb gain now. lol!

Getting this first 40 off and going to tougher than I ever imagine and keeping it off is going to be the fight of my life.

Dollar Tree & "Dollar Star" Haul...

I got out and about yesterday in Spartanburg. I need a mini, itty bitty "get way" from the hustle and bustle of my small town.

I stopped by my favorite Dollar Tree. Its located on E. Main St in Spartanburg and has the best beauty section. The key is to catch it the day of or the day after it has been stocked. Somebody in that city thinks just like me because, if you mess around and go on the wrong day, there is nothing left!

I hit the jackpot today!!

 Am I the only one loving the revival of discontinued drugstore products at the Dollar Tree??!!

They are bringing back so many memories. Plus they are in AMAZING shape and quality!

Cover Girl Wet Slicks and Nail Slicks polish duos....I got the one with the Frostslicks because I saw it on Nouveau Cheap.:)

L'Oreal  Lip Glosse' in Caramel Cruise. I don't remember these. :( But, I'm going back for more.

I thought I owned most of the Colour Juices...seriously I have like 50 of them....I started collecting them in '04.But these didnt seem familiar. Turns out I dont have these.  They also had some CJs from that L'Oreal collection that they did with Beyonce for the movie Pink Panther. That's like 2005 old. Those CJs are called Panther Pink.

Pretty nude shade from Maybelline...I'm into nudes for some reason...Could it be spring approaching?

Now, this is a fairly new mascara from Almay. I actually owned this and I liked it alot but the retail on it was about $7.99. They had a wall full for a $1.

I grabbed the one and only lone e.l.f. polish there. There must have been more. See what being late will get you? lol!

This small haul is from a place called Dollar Star. Its one those independent dollar stores that have all kinds of stuff and different prices. I prefer these over the Dollar Tree chains, real talk.

Grabbed this Sinful Colors polish, Jessie's Girl loose powder and Wet N' Wild brow kit for .99 a piece. I never have enough time to scour that store. I'm going carve out some time to really dig in there soon.

Coming Soon! Review from CSN Stores...

I'm needing one thing in my life right now more than anything....

More time.

How do I get more time? Well, by knowing what time it is! lol! Seriously, I dont wear a watch and I dont have a clock in my bedroom. The only way I know time it is to look at my cell phone.

Isn't this clock cute! I need an alarm clock more than anything, so the kids won't be late for school. Its sold at CSN stores along with other great clocks, office furniture, shoes  and laptop bags....

Isn't this laptop bag cute....planning on getting a new laptop soon hopefully.:)

Review:Freetress Equal Lace Front with Baby Hairline in Billy.....

 My wig game is a straight mess compared to those wig divas in You Tube! lol! I mean, I wear a wig as a protective style mainly in the winter, so only own a few wigs. The last wig I was wearing got very matted in the back very quick, so it was time to get another.

This is Freetress Equal Lace Front with Baby Hairline in Billy #1 . I bought her at my local BSS. She was originally $49.99 but he gave me 25% off discount. I dont think lace fronts move much down where I live. You rarely see women wearing them and I always get questions about mine.

 Its a full cap with clips in the front and nape.

Pros:
-Beautiful waves and curls
-Soft texture
-Great glamous length

 There is only a little bit of a "baby" hairline. Didn't make much difference on me since I don't shave my edges back for that "clean" look.

 Cons:
-It sheds bad.
-The cap is too small for my head and all my hair

 Overall:
- I like the wig but Freetress Equal wig caps are too small. I hate that even after I pinned the sides down, it was still sliding back.
