For the New Year! Nothing big, just decided to add a couple more Revlon Lip Butter to my collection =) I actually really like the texture and pigmentation of these lipsticks. It's like, have you ever had those days when you don't wanna wear a gloss but your lipsticks are too drying or too bold? These are the perfect solution for those days. Also just wanted to update y'all on a

Look what my sister got me =) It's her "Cuz you got straight A's in school" gift. I fell in LOVE when I saw these! They're not the usual thigh-highs. I love the faux leather/suede mix going on. I'll be honest, they are not the most comfortable shoes, in fact, they're half a size too big. But I just slipped some Dr. Scholl's insoles in them and they now fit like a glove =) I think they'll

Best memories of this year =) Just a compilation of past events that make me say, "remember when..." Possibly stories I might even tell my kids and grandkids. In no particular order, let's get started! Dinner w/the fabulous Lena (of LadyLOnline) and Tracey (of WuzzyAngel) in DTLB Time well spent with good people, and hilarious memories created. Btw, this picture was stolen from Wuzzy's

I knoooww.... I'm late. But I just couldn't fathom paying over $6 for a drugstore lippie!!! So when I got $5 EB from CVS and plus they were having a "Buy 2 Revlon Lip or/and Eye and get $5 EB" deal, I couldn't pass it up =) Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti and Creamsicle I'm not gonna do a review on these unless someone asks. The reason is there are so many reviews on these and

So last year, I started my own new tradition of compiling a "Best of (insert year here)". Like I mentioned before, I simply do not buy enough things every month to post about hits and misses or whatever, so yearly is just more practical for me. These are in no particular order, just things I bought this year and really love, find most useful, most bang for my buck, etc. Anyway, I'm gonna be

Well, today's the day =) Wet n Wild Mega Plump Waterproof Mascara in Very Black What is is: Thickening, waterproof mascara Where to get it: Drugstores How much: I got it for $3.99 after $1 off coupon at CVS.

'Cuz I'm so great at these steals!!! So yesterday, I tweeted about this awesome deal I got from Macy's.  If you look at the left-side and down towards the middle, it says "Orig 98.00". That means original price was $98. But if you notice, my total was only $21.32! I couldn't even believe it at first but the sales associate explained to me that markdowns like that usually happen when it's the

A couple weeks back, I wrote about this new site: The company has graciously sent me a set for review, so let me just take a moment to talk about my entire experience with them. Signing up was easy! All you have to do is take a short quiz that allows the stylists to kind of get a feel of what you're all about in terms of lingerie. About a day later, my showroom was ready for me to choose what

Last night I attended a dance competition hosted by Sharp International at WesCo High School. My niece was in the Hip Hop Team (for a different high school, which I also attended), which took home the title of 1st place in their category. This is the pic we took together shortly after the winners were announced. As a fan of dance, and an alum of the school, you can only imagine how happy and

So last week, I posted some coupon codes for AMIClubWear's Black Friday, Thanksgiving Weekend and Cyber Monday discount codes. The reason I dedicated an entire post to them is because I absolutely LOVE that website. Everything in it is already so inexpensive and they have new items almost every day so the older items are getting price cuts or moved to clearance for even more savings! So that,

If you're like me, you don't DO Black Fridays. I mean, standing in line, rubbing elbows with strangers is just not my cup of tea. Frankly, I just never felt the need for a new TV or laptop, or whatever the hell it is, bad enough to go through such obstacles. Especially when the internet is so readily available at the comfort of my own home.  So I've taken the liberty of compiling a small list

Sometimes I allow life to get the best of me. I become angry. I begin to give up. I begin to crumble. Then He takes my hand and shows me the little miracles that happen everyday to others, against all odds. He shows me that if He brought me to it, He'll bring me through it.  Happy Thanksgiving everybuddy!  Stay Blessed!

So it's getting to the end of the quarter for school, and your girl's stressing out over so much school work. I mean, I can handle it. I work pretty well under pressure and all the assignments have been fun to do, buttt... a little stress relieving via retail therapy here and there never hurt. Wedge boots from Target. I have been eyeing these for over 2wks before I finally decided to buy.

I tweeted these already but I thought they deserved their own post. If you're new to DTLA shopping, don't let some of the vendors fool you into spending more than what you would pay at a local boutique or even F21. You can definitely stretch a dollar, as a matter of fact, these are what five of those dollars got me. Studs and tribal-ish earrings A set of 7 pewter bangles and 2 necklaces

I've mentioned it awhile before but some of you may not remember or may not have subscribed to my blog yet then, so I'll say it again. I LOVE lingerie. Not sure why, but there's something about sexy underthings that make the day brighter for me. It's like a naughty little secret that only one other person knows about... or maybe more, depending how naughty YOU are =) Anyway, so I was

Ok, so I am uber, ooooooooober excited for the news that I am about to share with you =) Sigma, in the next few weeks, is launching not one, two, or three... but FOUR collections all in time for the holiday hooplas. Since it would just be too overwhelming to drop the beauty brush bomb on us all at once, I'm actually really glad they're doing it in weekly increments beginning Nov. 21st. It gives

So I've sort of been on an accessory kick... Yesterday I received my order from eBay. I got a Hello Kitty bow ring and necklace =) Looking at the items in person though, they remind me more of Mickey Mouse's bow tie... but no complaints because I like both characters just fine. Each item was only $4.99 and shipped free The size is just right in my opinion. Not too big, not too small.

Just wanted to share a small collective haul. I haven't really done much shopping since school has kept me plenty busy but I do manage to grab a trinket or two when I can =) This necklace I got from The Scholarship Store at FIDM. The rest of these items I purchased at Forever 21. So this set of bracelets actually has a funny story behind it. I was standing in line and the lady at

Anywhooz, last week I posted about Sigma's newest addition to their synthetic line of brushes (see post here). I decided to pass on the F86 but I just couldn't bear the thought of not having the Precision Kit in my collection so.... My package from Sigma arrived on Saturday and I am just now getting around to posting about it LOL. Aren't they precious??? And of course, I got a free gift

Also, I don't own these brushes just yet, but you best believe I'll be ordering them real soon! As you all know, I love Sigma's HD brushes (read my review on them here)!

But I swear she only looks the part!Anyway, so yesterday I was minding my own business when this man asks to sit next to me.
