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.:)

RG Project: Lancome Juicy Tubes in Plum Freeze...

Hi All!! I got this Lancome Juicy Tubes in Plum Freeze at Marshalls for 2.00. Deal, uh? lol!!! Our Marshalls is starting to suck since we got a new and remodeled TJ Maxx across town.

Plum Freeze is a gorgeous color..I've been wearing it for the last couple of days. I forgot how great Juicy Tubes can be...I think I'm going to dig thru my lip gloss stash to see how many I have.
