~Weekend Goodwill Haul~ **Picture Heavy:)**

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

I've been trying to get this post up since Monday but Blogger would only allow me to load five pictures at a time! OMG.

Goodwill. Last Saturday. Before Noon= Awesome Buys!!! I got in there at 11:00, at as early as I would've like, but I got there. The Goodwill I go to is about 45 mins away, too, so I stopped in Starbucks for one of their epic Ice Coffees( sorry McDonald's, you can't touch those...). Check out what I got...and HOW MUCH I got it for!


Vintage Scarves: $.50 a piece
Target Mossimo Bag( brand new) :$6....Don't they still sell this bag, but in canvas?
All of the next three handbags were $1.50...it was a "Manager's Choice" item of the day....
This is a Nine West bag and there was another just like it, same color and everything there! How odd!
Looks rough but its actually beautifully worn...


All the clothing pieces were a $1. ONE DOLLAR. All new Target stuff. I was in those racks getting in where I fit in! I cleared them out of the XXLs and some of the XLs.




Liz Lange Maternity cardigans...but hell....they fit!

~Review~ tarte emphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner....

Sunday, June 19, 2011

 I  don't own many gel liners for one reason.

I don't screw the top on them tight and they dry up.:(

Matter of fact, I do that to alot of my products...and drinks...and the soy sauce and the water jug in the fridge. I forget to  screw the top on stuff ALL THE TIME!

So, when I recieved tarte Clay Waterproof Liner....I was nervous. I actually OWNED the bronze one last year....and guess what happened..... yep, I left the top half-on and it dried up.:(

Anyway!! Here are some swatches from the current colors of tarte's Clay Waterproof Liners

(left to right) bronze, brown,green, plum, black

The plum shade is actually true purple, very similiar to MAC Macroviolet. The black shade is a soot-y black to dries matte. The other colors bronze, brown and green are great for the lower lash line pop of color. They are all unmoveable, until you take them off at night.

The only thing I would say is that they are smaller and a bit more money than a MAC Fluidline but the pluses of Clay Liners outweigh that. tarte Clay Liners are waterproof ( rain, sweat, tears, creasing) and you get a dual liner brush with the liner. Yes, a FREE brush.:)

Do you own any tarte Clay Liners? Let me know in the comments!!

Disclosure: This product was sent to me for review.



~Fresh Coat~ Ruby Kisses HD Mickey Mouse Me+ Pro 10 Banana( TheMoptopMaven Inspired)

Friday, June 17, 2011

The last couple of days, I've been trolling The Moptop Maven site. I don't know how I ended up over there but nonetheless, I've been over there breathing in her inspiring posts. No matter, what went down with her, he presence is still missed and hopefully she'll come back sooner than later!

She did a beautiful tutorial on a tribal nail art that I was inspired to do last night. I got nail art stuff for days but never use it. Its like a inner fear, that I'm not a nail artist, but  who cares!! I was going to do my best!

Here is The Moptop Maven version:


And here is my version. I used Ruby Kisses HD in Mickey Mouse Me ,Pro 10 in Banana, LA Colors Black Nail Art, and Kleancolor Polish in Black for the design.I got a great deal on Ruby Kisses HD by using a Sephora coupon code. I absolutely love it!!!

She has some other nail design tutorials over on her site too so don't be surprised if I do those too! lol! Prayerfully, she won't take her site down. Its an excellent resource.

I broke my pinky nail while washing my hair Monday, so I had to trim my nails down:(
