Dont threaten me with a good ressesion!

This has been the year changes-majoris! In effort to get my shit in order, Ive been slowing down on the major (translation = expensive) beauty products. BUT dont get me wrong....some really super duper shit is totes budget friendly. Some of my best products come from a small little isle, courtesy of your local CVS.

Speaking of CVS...
I ran in there just yesterday, totally focused on the job at hand and TRIED to b-line it past  all things beauty when........
I see an end cap of Kardashian makeup products and nail polish. Are the K's so hard up for cash that they have to market everything possible? I don't know what happened next, all i know is that I had this shiny bottle in my hands and swiped my CC with fever.

Call it morbid curiosity...but I bought their face primer...which is infused with 24k gold dust? Directions say to layer generously and leave on for 5 mins. Rinse well. Hmmmm....not that Im NOT worth my weight in gold but I may have to call shenanigans here. Stay tuned.

You dont call, you dont write....

Yea...its been a while, but im back. I really need to keep up on this. I cant keep bombarding my FB with my beauty tips and thoughts cause im sure half of my "friends" don't give two shits. PSA for my Ladies... Please don't use liquid foundation unless its absolutely necessary. Unless you know what you're really doing, this can end up caked on, not blended properly, or just the wrong shade. Not to mention the damage it can do to your skin. This is a catch 22. Your face needs coverage because of the damage you've done by caking it on, but the damage is inflicted by the makeup itself. Simply taking better care of your skin will lesson the need for face makeup. I'm not talking spending an obscene amount of money (Ill do that for you) but simply washing it twice a day and MOISTURIZING! It wasn't until I was 33, that I felt I HAD to use foundation on my face. The proof is in the pudding...this bitch still will be carded :)

Stay beautiful.

Where for art thou fountain of youth?

Thank you God I have a hard time throwing beauty supplies away because I just came across something I've had for years, but JUST NOW obsessed with. And as my luck would always have it...its discontinued. Bastards. But you can bet your sweet ass Ive already emailed St. Ives and begged them to reconsider.

Here is why: my broke ass ran out of night moisturizer, and although this little bottle of cucumber heaven wasn't necessarily collecting dust, I just didn't see a need for it on the regular. In the past, Ive used it on an all day beach-red face or a PMS fueled crying fit for my puffy eyes. But the other day I used it as my night moisturizer, and badda bing...whatta know? The next morning, I had no "morning face" and looked totally refreshed.

Cons: None. (except that its discontinued, and you can currently find it on Ebay for over $27...retail is $3. Let me know if any of you lovelies find it other wise; buy one for you AND for me.)

Spring is in the air....

Tangerine is the new pink this spring. I however, will be directing traffic later.

Conversely, bright pinks are the trend right now. A bright blush will add radiance, and "lift" to the entire face. For my fellow readers who live in fear of pinks, just a light sweep on top of the cheek bone will make you a believer.

Happy Spring everyone <3

Your daily dose of truth

A fellow blogger of mine wrote some pretty slap ya mama truths about dating and relationships recently. Its so funny how we think we know what the deal is when we're in our teens, then, you cant tell us shit in our 20's, and in our 30's we think 'oh yeaaaaa" cause were just starting to get it. What stuck like honey: "...that bitch you see in the mirror should always be your number one priority." Why do we forget this like we suddenly have cotton balls for brains??????

I'll be honest, blogging feels a bit like being naked for the world to see (although ATM i have only one follower) *snicker* Whatever, Rome wasn't built in a day.
