My beauty life in pictures....

My mother, who is busy remodeling her house, for like the 20th time, found this behind the bathtub in my old bathroom. And its all kinda good stuff in there like mark. skincare they don't do any more.
I pick these up at the Green Salvage for tonight's pedicure. Creative Spa Raw Earth scrub, foot cream and mud mask for 2.00 a piece with the 13.95 Trade Secrets Salon tags still intact on them.
Here's my late ass Friday Five Plus One, minus one:):

Johnson and Johnson Baby Lotion: I love to layer perfumes with this in the summer

Essence of Beauty Eye Makeup Remover: I found 5 bottles of this that I had gotten at CVS for a .25 a piece. They still make it though.

Pure Grace: I love Pure Grace and I found a Pure Grace Perfume solid in my stuff too.

WnW Mega Pump Highlighter: I used this one morning when my skin looked like a slept on the couch...which I had, but only that night.

L'Oreal lipstick in LE Target Red: I wore this the 4th the July. I like the red but its way too shiny and glossy for me. I need a matte red.

Congratulations to the new Miss South Carolina!!

I'm admit that I'm former pageant girl. I love it as much as Friday Night Football. So I had to post a big "Go Get It Girl!" to Crystal Garrett, the newly crowned Miss South Carolina. And as you notice she's a black girl repping South Carolina. Only one other sista did that, Kimberly Aiken Cockerham back in 1994 and won crowned Miss America. I hope this chica knows she is part of some serious history down here. So, Crystal, go get that crown, mama!

Survival of the Prettiest...

This past week was all about surviving...without my boys. They spent one of three weeks that they have with their father in the summer. It was all about staying busy and getting busy on new things. And watching too much TV and On Demand Movies( the free ones, of course). But they are back, in one piece, just like they left.:) I've haven't been happier than I am today!!

I'll have the Friday Five Plus One on Monday afternoon. I didn't get to do it this Friday because I worked some freaky in the middle of the day schedule at work. But this week I have another full schedule of things to do, most of it wrapped around the TV!:)

World Series of Pop Culture( starts tomorrow...I soooo excited!)

Bridezillas( Absolutely the most ugliest I have ever seen any woman even on their wedding day, and I'm not talking beauty.)

Charm School Reunion-Um...Saaphyri spent her money on a new weave ya'll, not a house.

Hey Paula-She crazy. Straight Up.

An at- home pedicure- got some new goodies for my feet, will have pics of the products tomorrow.

Trying new recipes...I'm now a vegetarian...and I love it! Seriously, the best thing about going meatless( because I decided that I will continue to eat eggs and cheese and milk) is I'm in such I better mood and I think clearer.

Closet purge- I don't have nothing to wear because I got stuff I don't wear and shoes I don't wear. I'm sick of looking at it.

Finish reading Eat, Pray, Love-I love it, really, but I always start reading it and end up sleep.

Buy that new T.I album- Ooooo...It sounds so sick on AOL music. I love Tip Harris.

Thursday Haulie-haul...

For like the third time, I've gotten on I-585 toward I-85 going to Greenville to Haywood Mall and Ulta on Woodruff Road and got to the exit to get on 85 and changed my mind. It was too hot and all I want was to see if a could find a red polish in Essie at Ulta and go the MAC counter at Belk. I didn't feel like driving. And I can't stand that Westgate Mall with nothing in it but my little cousins and her crew and half her high school. So I went to CVS and Kohls for a mini haul:

Wet N Wild Wild Shine in Red Red- I noticed to today that WnW got rid of all of their lipsticks and have nothing but lip glosses now. I wanted a cheap red polish that wasn't too orange. A true red not crimson red, Delta red( no offense to Deltas...I got delta friends:)) I haven't put in on yet, but nails have taken a beaten since I started my new job.

Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows in Designer Browns-You how Milani does...They come up with something new that no one in the drugstore aisles is doing. It's so pretty and the colors are intense on my back of my hand. I can't wait to try on my eyes. It's definitely convo on MUA about them including an email for Milani about their old and new eyeshadows:

This is a reply to an email that is straight from the horse's mouth from Milani Cosmetics:

The CVS stores are planning to re-set their displays, and they are currently offering the Milani Eye Shadow Compacts that will not be included in the new display at 50% off. (All of the Milani Eye Shadows are not being offered at 50% off at CVS, it is only a few shades that are being discounted.)

These shades that CVS is discontinuing will continue to be available at other outlets, or at Best Beauty On-line at www.bestbeautyonline.com.We do have plans to introduce a new line of single Eye Shadows around the beginning of 2008.

The Milani Runway Eyes Single “Baked” Eye Shadow Compacts feature a new process where none of the pigment’s original intensity is lost during manufacturing. These Eye Shadows will have more intense colors, will last longer, and have a larger net weight than the current Eye Shadow Compacts. The new Runway Eyes Single Eye Shadows will eventually replace the Eye Shadow Compacts only in the CVS Stores. The Eye Shadow Compacts will continue to be available in other outlets, and at www.bestbeautyonline.com.

Fashion/Beauty Soundtrack of the Week!

This week's fashion beauty soundtrack is Fantasia. Now...I know everybody thinks that Tasia is ghetto country and she is but the CD is crazy. Out of 13 tracks, I love 10 and that's alot for me. I listen to it wayyyy too much. Of course the jam is "When I See U". I remember I first heard this back in December when my daddy died and it pulled at my heart. I was in love with my father and that seeing walk down the street toward made me heart sing. And there times I think I still see him...

I dedicate "Two Weeks Notice" and "I Feel Beautiful to FB. He knows why...I'm the REALEST Ms. Two Weeks Notice he will ever know!!!

And the jam "Sunshine" is to all my Southern chicas...its definetly a Atlanta booty/crunk/party music kinda song.
