Do yall think its ghetto to take pictures in scarves? I just thought of this after all this time that I look a hot mess, LOL! But I always have on a scarf while doing makeup, its easier because I lay down my edges for my bun before work.

Maybe when I don't work I will have more sophisticated photos :)

FROM MAC WARM AND COZY COLLECTION


FROM MAC ALL AGES ALL RACES COLLECTION

These 3 makeup collections killed me, LOL. I love neutrals! Love Love Love em. I damn near ordered the whole MAC Warm and Cozy collection last month (oh by the way, last month I spent $800, $200 over budget).

Then the All Ages All Races (or whatever its called) which I was able to use some restraint (I only plan on getting 4 items).

But finally, this chanel crap killed (is killing) me.



I have never owned Chanel Makeup, only nailpolish. I saw the swatches on KarlaSugar and wanted to D-I-E!!!!! Yall I have my nordies cart full of what I pared down and its still like $240. If spiegel would hurry up and credit me my $120 I wouldn't feel so bad but they are taking their sweet time. I don't know what to do... I am this >< close to hitting the checkout button, but I am going to sleep on it for a few days and see how I feel. Hey it's only makeup right????

I might skip all makeup this month to own this (the palette)

~ ~

I don't have any chanel makeup outside of nailpolish. I buy a lot of Mac because it is fun and affordable for me. I have so much makeup though, I may branch out.

I already went NARS crazy. I have urban decay, stila, and makeupforever. Even a lil bobbi brown.

This is pricey but maybe just maybe for the month of October, this will be my makeup purchase.

This is just another post of me wondering out loud what I want to do. I am quite obvious that a MAC collection with special packaging and the Sephora code will become active this month.

Can someone tell me when this will actuallly hit stores?

Hmm......

I just wanted to let you guys know

I am back to my budget. I know I have had some setbacks, but I am 98% sure I will still make my goals for the year. I was able to barely squeek up the savings bar and the car bar. We are working with the original $600 this month so we shall see. Well now I have $540 left but keep reading, LOL.

We did not plan on getting a home but since we have been good with finances and debt, we are in a good position to get one (we found one but its a short sale so we will see how this pans out, lord willing it will be quick and smooth). If it takes too long to close, we will move on.All the homes we love seem to be short sales, its almost no avoiding it. Kinda sad at the same time. We seen homes that were beautiful outside, but left in shambles inside from people vacating, leaving personal belongings behind. None of em ever left that stainless steel reefer though, LOL.

We did not know we qualified for the tax credit because we did own a while ago, but we do so who wants to miss out on $8000 right. That means that I may be a lil short on my freedom fund goals because we may have to pay closing costs, but no biggie I guess, this particular deal we didn't ask for any money because it can potentially be such a sweet deal. The fund will still be plenty stacked though with diligence on our part. I am actually getting all into decorating again, buying books and magazines, imagining what "home" will be like.

I also wanted to let you all know that sephora already got me for $60. The Calvin Klein palette is something that I had my eye on when it was featured in Allure way back when so I was glad to get that. I also threw in some other new items from their sale section. As you can see, I also signed up for the Bare Minerals sample, is it any good?

Alright all, take care. Did Sephora get yall for anything this month?

ps. for mac fall trend collection, i am only getting the quad (not feeling the lightest shade though) and probably the fragrance.

i have been doing well kinda. i have ordered 5 of those nail polishes (i love em, so rich and creamy) that came out and the photorealism quad from 2 or 3 collections ago.

i have been very curious about mac style black but i dont think i would actually wear the colors so we shall see on that one.

what have you all been buying?

***and will be posting that video later today or tomorrow so stay on the lookout. it has been a loooong time huh?

Let's Talk Holy Grail Products

~ ~
Most of us that frequent beauty blogs or that write them are product junkies to one extent or the other. This post is about those products that no matter what, you are not going to give up on. The ones you LOVE. The ones you always come back to. The ones that stay waiting for you like Kim Porter does for P Diddy. Anyway here's mine...

  • Hair: Neutrogena Silk Touch Leave In, Garnier Fiber Gum for edges, Johnson's Detangling Spray
  • Body: Glycerin mixed in any old lotion especially Avon lotions, Nair hair remover
  • Skin(face): yall know this is a work in progress but... Shiseido sunblock (i will do a review on it but its a true winner), Clarisonic with the delicate brush (the softest), Neutrogena stress control cleanser, Revlon tweezers
  • Nails: Poshe fast drying topcoat, Creative Stickey Base, and Nail Tek #3, OPI Hollywood blond
  • Makeup: MAC MSF in medium deep (or dark perhaps if i get darker this summer), Nars Galapagos eyeshadow, MAC Henna eyeshadow, Maybelline Lash Stiletto for bottom lashes & Fresh Supernova Mascara (inched out my voluminous by a small inch even though i just started using it), Mac Brow set in clear (love mink but its limited edition) Mac Fix+, Mac Brow Pencil in stud or spiked, Mac Chestnut liner makes everything OK, Revlon colorstay liquid liner, UD 24/7 line in waterline

Naked Honey Haul (small Financial update)

~ ~

I was able to limit myself to 3 items
1. the salve
2. the buckwheat eyeshadow
3. the queen bee lip glass

as far as finances... i have about $200 left for the rest of the month... i think that is very doable (i even have euro left). hopefully i do not go over. what saved me was stacking euro. even when i dont have plans, i budget euro every month like a bill in case i do end up going to a winery or something. the present that i bought for my DH also does not count towards my fun money, it counts towards a misc category already in our household budget (as for the gifts for family members as well).

i really love that speedy purse that i just bought but i have listed it on ebay. i have had good luck selling 100% authentic items so oh well. if if does sell i will have more money left and then i am going to go ahead and look for a 35 or a 30. if it doesn't i wont be mad because i love it but the neverfull is huge too so i wanted one that wasnt so huge.

***edit to add*** i just sent another extra payment to the car.... almost at the 50% mark that I missed. (i did the calculations out thru the whole year and was pleased to note that both goals can still be done by December 31st, they may even be done before December 31st)

A few recent purchases

~ ~


Its getting about that time again where we need to be thinking about using sunblock more diligently. The weather will be nice, we will want to be out in the shining sun more.

I usually use neutrogena (and i love it), but I have been researching this sunblock by shiseido for 2 yrs and finally decided to try it out along with their much hyped lash primer. They have never let me down with other products that I have tried so hopefully this purchase will be the same.

Anyone tried any of these products that can provide information on them firsthand?

I will review them after using them for a while.
