New Years!

Well, it's that time again...a whole year has gone by....and as I'm reflecting I'm wondering, what have I accomplished this year? It doesn't matter! This year will be 100% better! I'm taking this as an opportunity for new beginnings, so here is my list.

I shall find a new BETTER job, and once I do I will have $1000 in my account at all times for emergency's, I will also consolidate ALL my debt and start paying it off.

I'm making new friends and "cutting the fat" with others....you are who you surround yourself with and I want to be around people with good intentions and that care.

I shall Not bite my nails anymore, I'm NOT going to do it! I will have PRETTY nails haha!

I will get Rambo not to bark at other dogs. It's going to be hard and I'm going to have to try EVERYTHING until I figure out what works. I will also put him in dog kindergarten to get him proper educate lol

I'm excited to start tomorrow on this journey <3 I'm going to call every place I can think of and find out who is hiring and who is not, wish me LUCK!

Review time!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow potion in "Eden"....let me just say AMAZING! It truly makes my shadow last all day. It's so simple to use and gives you a "blank"  and smooth canvas to work on. I highly recommend using this, I can't wait to try there other tones in SIN, GREED and ORIGINAL SHEER NUDE

"Ebay" 120 color pallet....you would think $4.95 makeup would be no good...and coming from China...would be risky but I LOVE this eyeshadow! I've been using this for over a year now and it's honestly better then my MAC! WHO KNEW! It's highly pigmented, has every color you could ever dream of wearing...and stays on all day with the help of Urban Decays Eyeshadow potion. This product came in less then two weeks and had zero broken shadows...Impressed!

Victoria Secret Pro Airbrush Face Primer. I've never broken out from ANY kind of makeup before. My skin is so easy going with anything I put on my face and since I started using this product I have bumps on my left check and my forehead....I've done a deep cleaning on my face and since I've stopped using this product it's cleared up. I'm sure every one's face will react different but mine, wasn't a fan of this.

I still recommend SmashBox Face primmer ten out of ten times.

NARS "Deep Throat" Blush. I'm so in love with NARS, except for the price factor. This is my very first NARS purchase, but I couldn't be more in LOVE! It lasts all day and they have a great selection of colors. I love this shade, it's more of a coral with a slight shimmer to it. They have some very sexual names that I wouldn't go around yelling across a room...."I'm wearing Deep throat!" "oh, I'm wearing super orgasm!" witch leads me to my next purchase in the near future...I must have super orgasm blush by NARS next!

Christian Dior: DiorShow Mascara in Black. Love Love LOVE this Mascara, It has a similar hold to the Too Faced Mascara that I love so much but has a longer lasting hold. I would have gotten the Too Faced Mascara again but thought I would try something new and the price difference wasn't much so I thought I would go for it...If I can't buy Dior purses then why not go for some of his makeup....

Sephora Lip Gloss Set. I got a steal on this! $72.00 value down to $22.00 and on Sale for $11.00! DEAL! I've never used Sephora's lip glosses before but am In love with how long they last on your lips and how soft they make your lips feel. It's a little thick so if your not a fan of thicker lip gloss textures I don't recommend this for you...but I swear I wore the "pop princess" the hot pink one in the middle all day and loved it!

Pricing: $14.00 each or if on sale in kit $22 - $11

La-Tweez! I love this product! I've been using La-Tweez for over a year now and it's like it's still brand new. It comes in a cute "lip stick" holder and there tweezers have a LED light that is supper helpful to get the fine hairs...not to mention the button for the light is a rhinestone! I was going to get tweezer-man tweezers and still want to get them only because they are insured for life and you can send them in and get them sharpened as many times as you want!

HOOLA bronzer by Benefit. I hate really shinny, glittery bronzers. I wear my bronzer all over my face becuase I don't tan my face like I do the rest of my body so I have to match my face to my neck to the rest of me...Hoola is 100% matte and does not make you orange at all! The little thing has lasted me about 8 months and I just went out and bought it again! I will never go back to MAC bronzers again!

PINK THURSDAY / BLACK FRIDAY

So, it's officially over. I had the most amazing time with a few little bumps in the road but we did it. Oh and I have decided because Black Friday really starts Thursday night...it's now Pink Thursday haha.

First, I had Thanksgiving dinner at my boyfriends family's house, I was dressed in my normal six inch stiletto's....after dinner I got picked by my best friend Samantha...we get all the way to my house to change out of my stiletto's into my comfortable WARM uggs....I'm sure you can tell where this is going. Yes, my keys were back 45 mils the other direction....and YES I shopped for a good hour in my stiletto's haha. An adventure in it's self, I must have looked ridiculous lol.

We spent from 9:00pm until 10:00pm or so shopping at the Camarillo Premium outlets, the headed back to my house to get my beloved UGGS that I wanted so bad! We then went to camp out at the Pacific View Mall. we waited outside Victoria Secret from 10:30pm until 12:00am engaging in good conversation with people who love shopping as much as me and my best friend. We mapped out where we were going and what we wanted from the store window...we got in and spent a whole 3 minutes in the store before we were in line...pretty good huh! The only sad part is I feel like all the friends we made in line are gone forever, they got lost in the crowd haha. I guess I'll see them next year.

We then swept through the mall like it was our mission to cover every inch to make sure we weren't missing out on any good deals. I really wanted makeup from Sephora and to my surprise, NO SALES! what!!! VERY disappointed.

It then turned to 1:30am and we were done at the mall, we then decided to go BACK to the Camarillo outlets now that I had my UGGS on I would be much more happy this time around. The parking lot was PACKED! Samantha was like we are never going to park...I said HOLD ON, look for someone with keys out, we drove for about 30 seconds and I found a couple fighting but they had keys out so I rolled down the window and yelled "are you leaving?" they said "yeah, we are parked over here"...We followed closely due to TWO people tried getting our parking spot...don't work harder, work smarter <3 we then saw Juicy was having a 50% off the whole store sale! I couldn't believe my eyes!

We didn't leave the outlets until 4:00am...we couldn't believe we were out all night, we did it! I got home and it was like Christmas! I don't get much for Christmas from my family so Black Friday is now my Christmas to myself with the most amazing deals.

Here are the pictures I took of all my Christmas Gifts to myself LOL

 My first purchase from the Juicy store. I'm in LOVE! It wasn't my first choice but it was so incredibly on sale I had to! If I could have bought the whole store i would have LOL

My Victoria Secret LOVE PINK sweater. I can't wait to wear

this out! It's ONE: PINK, my favorte color. TWO: it has sequins!

I think I have an obsession with sweaters now, I couldn't help myself it was 40% off along with a Ed Hardy Barbie Pink Tee shirt and a roll on pen perfume for my purse in love and daggers.

Guess outlet was also having 30% - 50% off the entire store...I'm in love with my Charm Bracelet and Olive Green crown Tee-Shirt.

So excited to wear my LACE sequin Yoga Pants to the gym and with my purchase at Victoria Secret and Juicy I got free bags and smelly stuff, my favorite!

Lastly, I got Shimmer Lotion and Sprays. Buy three get three free so Samantha and I each got three things and split the cost. Team work <3

I don't think me and my Best Friend couldn't have done this better, I wish I had my Uggs the first time around at the outlets but heck, it made things interesting <3

Christmas is a commin....

It's November 15th, I know I still have to get through Thanksgiving...but I can't help but be so excited for Christmas! If I could listen to Christmas Music all year round I would...if I could keep my tree up all year I would think it's the best thing in the world and decorate it with each holiday, including my birthday...why not right! I love putting thought into each and every ones gift and making everything homemade along with wrapping the gifts...IT'S THE BEST PART! Presentation is everything if you ask me!

This year my friend Lindsey is putting on our yearly Christmas Party, semi formal and going to be amazing.

I'm looking into dresses and can't seem to find the "perfect" one. I know I want something classic with a sleeve of some kind. Nothing to low cut but still eye catching...Debating on the two I posted but I still don't find them perfect for my Holiday party. I also want to wear this to my boyfriends work Holiday Dinner....So stomped!


...but....Before Christmas comes my other favorite holiday...BLACK FRIDAY! I know I'm crazy for going out in the madness but I love it and this year I've got my best Friend Samantha by my side. Her and I have the same passion for shopping and understand time is not money, time is being waisted we can do more shopping! I'm on a budget this year but lucky for me I'm good on a budget and know how to make a little money go a long way. I'm so excited to shop all night....what other time is the mall open all night...NONE! Except for Black Friday! Yep, a true shoppers dream <3

I'll keep you posted on my hunt for my "Perfect" Dress and all the fun stuff I get on BLACK FRIDAY!

Kat Von D. Concealer

I bought the Kat Von D. concealer about a week ago, and am not a fan, I'm planning on returning it. For a concealer it is extremely runny and the coverage isn't the best. I was in a hurry and the consultant at Sephora highly recommend it. Needless to say with this particular product of Kat Von D. I'm not impressed. I need something thicker and with full coverage. If your looking for something light it's great but I would recommend a foundation not a concealer.

Smash Box Face Primer

Smash Box Face Primer, I've never used a face primer like this before. You literally need less then a dime size amount, it takes less then ten seconds to dry and it makes your face baby soft....and did I mention it really works. My foundation and bronzer stays on all day. All the other primers I have used have been in a spray bottle you put on after you put on your face makeup I felt like it made my makeup look splotchy after. I have also tired setting powders...there only problem with that they are white...I just a lot of bronzer on my face so after making my face tan, I'm going to put white setting powder on it...I have been using the Smashbox Face Primer for about a week now and absolutely LOVE IT!

Too Faced Mascara

I have been using the $8.99 maybelline mascara my entire life
I have always thought mascara is just Mascara, they all say they thicken, lengthen and separate but never gave me wow results. I have been using Too Faced Injection Mascara for about three months now and can't believe I have lived without it for this long! It's simply amazing. I highly recommend it. I have never used a mascara that REALLY thickens, lengthens and seperates.
