Review:Maybelline XXL Extensions in Very Black...

I picked this up at CVS with my 7.50 in Extra Bucks. Then I got Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Glam Black for 1/2 off. So I think I got both for about $4.00.( I need to look at the receipt). Kick rocks Recession!!

My HG Mascara is Maybelline XXL Intense Volume and Length Mascara.XXL Extensions reminds me alot of it. First, there's the primer brush, which my lashes like.They can't go a day without primer. Then there is the mascara..

After

Great length but no volume. I like thick and long not just long. That sounds SOOOO nasty...ohhhh! lol!

Great mascara. Buy it...'cause ya Cousin said so!:)

RG's Cheap Tricks: Neutrogena Wave...

Ya'll remember when I said I hated that Neutrogena Wave. Waste of my money? Well, a week or two ago, Kitiya over at Mischo Beauty wrote that great review on the Clarisonic Brush. I immediately started lemming it...BAD! lol! But she sold it to me by saying she used it "to assist in exfoliation"....

I started to think..."I got one of those Neutrogena Wave thingys under the sink...maybe I could used that to aid in scrubbing my face..." And that's what I did, I went home and went a digging in my stash under the sink and unearthed that Wave.

And I have been using since and its a great a substitute FOR NOW for the Clairsonic.. My hands and nails are not covered in scrub and my skin looks better after each steam and scrub day(Tuesday and Saturday Night)*Updating Sephora Wishlist now*

Christmas Wishlist already?....

I got a sample of Rare Minerals Skin Revival Night Treatment in a Sephora order last week and love it. Even though it says on the package it only has two days worth in it, I've been using the the pad since last Saturday. Ha! It gives your skin a matte look after you wash and moisturize, then it tingles a bit, and you wake up looking clear. If only I could find out if it does what it says it does...

What it does:

Naturally activated by your own skin, it effectively yet comfortably delivers benefits such as visibly-reduced lines and wrinkles, reduced sun damage, more refined pores, brighter complexion, softer, smoother texture, less noticeable redness, and clearer and firmer-looking skin. Containing no preservatives and zero irritants whatsoever, it's ideal for all skin types, including those with the most sensitive skin conditions, like rosacea.

Awesome Tip...

I normally wrap my hair up in a scarf that I bought at a BSS that supposedly satin. But I just read a great tip on Hair By Kelli:

Use a silk scarf to wrap your hair. Try purchasing a ½ yard of fabric from a fabric store to ensure it is 100% silk. Satin is okay, however they have cotton threads which can cause dryness.

I hope Wal-Mart has some in their sewing department since that's the only fabric place in town.

Great hair tip!!

N.O.T.D: O.P.I Lourve Me, Louvre Me Not and Zoya Kamillah...

Hey folks...

I wore Louvre Me, Lourve Me Not on Sunday. I didn't like it. I think my nails are getting to long because every color I put on looks weird. Plus this went on sticky...Ew...

Did this last night. It's two coats of Zoya Kamillah and it's still sheer. I like to see no nail through the polish...

I didn't even clean my cuticles up...I'm taking it off today.:(
