Super-Duper Korres Finds!!....

I was bumping around the 'Burg last week and dipped into Marshalls to see what was good in their Beauty section. Even though were TWO people stocking the beauty section...it was beginning to look like a 'Fail' til' I saw...

Korres Body Butter in Yoghurt

Oh Gah!! I've looking for this Korres Body Butter FOREVER. It has a unique smell. I can't put my finger on it but it reminds me of a hair moisturizer with a powdery dry down. I know that doesn't sounds very good, but when you put it on, its smells AMAZING....


Now I have Fig, Quince, and a small tube of Guava...currently hunting a big thing of Guava...:)

I also went over the new TJMAXX in the 'Burg( it ain't new, they just moved it...but it looks 'newer' inside in the 'new' location lol!) and rolled up on Korres Body Milk in Vanilla Cinnamon and Bitter Almond Shower gel....

For $1 a piece!!! AMEN!!!I love Vanilla Cinnamon Body Milk. It's perfect for the fall/winter and the Bitter Almond shower gel rocks in sudsy glory...sigh....I love finding great beauty buys!!!

N.O.T.D: Essie Foot Loose and Essie Fall 2009 Collection...

Well, I dug Essie Foot Loose out the 'crates'! I didn't realize how pretty a raspberry shade it was( or that I even OWNED this). I did a little design just to punch it up....

Gasp!! Look at the new Essie for the Fall 2009 I spotted in the September Lucky!! I got my eye on the Midnight Cami and Mink Muffs. I can't wait til it cools down and fall begins:)

Shopping My Stash:Smashbox Fusion Eye Shadow in Smashing Sequence...

I bought Smashbox Fusion Eye Sequence in Smashing Sequence from Sephora as part of a kit in ....2005.

LOL! I know it should be in the trash but for some reason I held on to it. I like bits and pieces of Smashbox. They have hits....and misses. Most of their color products on ME are misses.

I used to use this for the bronze and the dark brown in it....so today I tried it the pinks in the sequence...


That's actually all of three of the pink colors but they are so sheer, you can't tell. And they look a bit chalky too.

This definitely going to the beauty graveyard.... after having it for four years.:)

Shopping My Stash: MAC e/s in Tempting...

*Broken...by the way of my kitchen floor...*

I was talking to a friend of mine this weekend and she was saying her cousin( who's 32) just discovered MAC( The cousin lives in Columbia SC, where there's two counters( I think), but I didn't ask no questions) and she's over the "F*cking moon", as my friend puts it.



Me: "Maybe she didn't know about MAC" "Lots of people don't...."





Friend:"Tell me how you walk through the Columbiana Belk and never notice that MAC counter?! She acting like she discovered something brand new, Its getting on my nerves"





Me: *Laughing!!* "Awwww...well let her discover something new!, that's probably the newest thing she has found in YEARS..."





Friend: "Okay, I'm going to give her YOUR phone number, so she brag about how she on the new-new cuz she wearing MAC"





Me: "Don't you that!...Or you and cuzo will be able the counter picking out a concealer for your busted face. You know I don't like random as people calling me..."





Friend: "I'm joking!!!!!....So when you coming down here so we can go the MAC counter?"





Me: "Soon as you PayPal me $50 for my services and gas..."


Thinking about my friend's country cousin, I took a dig in the crates and found MAC Tempting. Tempting is not very 'mobile'. It goes on the brush sorta in lil crumbly pieces then on to my lid. It was a bit on the glittery side for me. I used a matte brown color in the outer corners to darken it up.

Sorry for the weird glare...my camera would not let take a picture without that weird glare...

I should ship Tempting off to the country cousin. She probably would'nt want it though...

It's used.:)

Shopping My Stash: MAC e/s in Post Haste...

Ah...yes...I've been digging through the crates, about give ya'll some Shopping My Stash goodies. What's this? MAC? Yes, I have several pieces of MAC that I don't use or haven't used. Most of them are careless pieces bought at the CCO on a makeup high.

That CCO bizness is DANGEROUS if you don't know what you are buying. The MAC counter and PRO stores are better for the beginner and moderate MAC lovers at heart( That would be me). Leave that CCO to heavy hitters, the intermediate obsesses of MAC! LOL!

MAC Post Haste is a weird bland Fuchsia pink. It looked red in the CCO when I bought it because that's why I bought it, I wanted a red matte eyeshadow. Come to find out its pink.

I played with it Sunday, only to find out too, that when you mix it with a black matte e/s it turns PURPLE. And I didn't have on purple Sunday( the palette was black, pink, cream) and it messed me up. I pretty sure no one in church noticed, but I DID. I took it off as soon as I got home.

Ugh....I'm on the verge of throwing Post Haste to the MUA( Makeup Alley) wind....of course, the reviews over there are using it as a blush...
