~Weekend Goodwill and Sal Val Thrift Haul~

Monday, September 26, 2011

Got out this weekend for some great thrifting! I didn't get alot of items but I what I got was better than whole bunch of so-so pieces. I went to two Goodwills and one Sal Val in two days and I was pretty busted afterwards. lol!

I only got one item from the Sal Val (Salvation Army in TheEccentricDiva speak lol) and was it everything I was looking for...the perfect demin jacket!!!


Calvin Klein Jeans Demin Jacket...$5.99...XL...PERFECT FIT!!.... super soft...probably from the 90s. I still have a pair of CK Jeans khakis that were my Grannys but I wore after she died in 1996....they are size 10.:/
Next up are items from two Goodwill Stores...

Eggplant blazer-$1. I slay the Dollar racks at our Goodwills! I normally head them first then back to jewelry, shoes, handbags, bric-a-brac....
Walmart George label coat-$1...this brand, when in stores, never fit me quite right. This jacket fits but is snug in the upper arm area.  *shrugs*
vintage Sears top-$1...cute!!

Black blazer with red piping-$1....uhhh....I think its a flight attendant's blazer. lol
 See.....That's the Northwest Airlines logo


Hilarious!!! But its dope though....LOL!
Vigoss jeans-$7.49 I paid "full price" for these because I'm building my demin wardrobe back up in a different size...all my jeans from last year are too big and sag in the butt...LOL.
Dana Buchman flats-$4.50...They have a tear in the back...but I wasn't leaving Dana Buchman flats in MY SIZE on that rack, hunny....
Organizer from Target-$1- for makeup of course....
Ecco sneakers $4.50- This sneakers are like $139 sneakers retail....As soon as I saw the label I threw them in the cart.
BCBG Max Azria flats - $4.50 ....!!!!!....Ok!!! They fit but are a little uncomfortable afterwhile. Typical of pricey flats. My flats from the beauty supply store never hurt. lol!
Vintage earrings-$1 a pair. love them all!!!

So what you think about my finds??

~Birthday Fresh Coat~ Incoco Cat's Meow....

Friday, September 23, 2011

 As promised...I applied my Incoco Nail Appliques in Cat's Meow for birthday! Here's the scoop:

Pros:
-They are thinner than the Sally Hansen brand and easier to smooth out.
-They have a built in top coat which makes them very glossy but I added one to seal in the area between my nail and the applique.
-I love this pattern!! Its gorgeous!!!!


Cons:
-The fit is sooo off. I only received 12 in the pack which might be a Birchbox thing but the fit is crazy.
-They are not cheaper than Sally Hansen. I don't understand why this type of "polish" runs $8,9,10?!? It has no brush or bottle and you can only use it once! Too pricey!

I wanted to order some more of these but the price turned me off.

What do you think?



~Birthday FOTD~ Wet N' Wild Earth Looks Small From Down Here...

On the 23rd of September, first day of fall, first day of Libra season...a 7lb 13oz baby girl was born in a rural South Carolina town in the year of 1977. She was plump and bright and her dad thought she was white. lol.

"That's the wrong baby, Shawty ( what he called my mom)! She's white!" (LOL!)


Jane, my beloved Granny, his mother: "Shut the hell up Mike!! That baby aint white! And she's yours!!"

Ah...the stories I've heard from the day I was born....the older I get the more my mother tells me. My dad, rest his soul, never got the exact date of my birthday correct.I normally would get a happy birthday from him the day before or two days after my birthday. I wasn't always happy about that, but today, as I think about it, it makes me smile.:)



I played with Wet N' Wild Earth Look Small From Down Here for my eye look today. Somebody has to explain to me that name because it sounds ridunklous. lol!

I don't like my highlight...but we all learn from our mistakes....




I wasn't born on the 21st of September but I love this song!!!


~Review~ Lush Dirty Fragrance....

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Soon as the weather changes, I crave new fragrances. I don't need to go to a counter or to Sephora....my inner beauty addict clock tells me, "Its time for something new!" LOL! Lush Dirty came just in the nick of time to switch it up and satisfy the inner urge for a new smell!

"Lush Dirty Fragrance (10ml spritzer, 30ml bottle, solid) is clean, minty and refreshing. Owing to the herbal undertones, it is sexy and invigorating. The main notes are spearmint, tarragon, thyme, oak moss, lavender, sandalwood and neroli."

I absolutely love this scent! It comprises three of my favorite notes: lavender, sandalwood and neroli. Dirty first goes on smelling like a fresh piece of spearmint gum but dries down wonderfully soft and warm. If you are in to fresh and herbal scents, this is a masterpiece. Even though the notes sounds very masculine or unisex, I feel extremely feminine when I wear Dirty.

I know that I will fly thru the .3 fl oz size I received so this scent is officially on my Christmas wishlist!:)
