New In!!

Happy Friday!!

I am so excited for the weekend!

Yesterday, I went to Walgreen's to pick up some shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Of course, I always need to check out the cosmetics section to see whats new and if there are any sales on. So glad I did!

They had these 12 color eyeshadow palettes for $0.99!

I wasn't expecting anything great but was so excited that I had to try it this morning! They are so pigmented and smooth I absolutely LOVE it! Today I am wearing my blue maxi dress so I went with the 02 palette and used the gold in the middle and the darkest blue in the bottom left corner. I absolutely love the way my eyes turned out today! 
I'm sure you've also noticed the eyeliner in the picture. I wanted to try a new one as my Sephora Nano liner is getting low and wanted to see if I could find something cheaper. I also like retractable eyeliners as I find I don't make as much of a mess with them. I grabbed the Wet'n'Wild Megalast retractable eyeliner in blackest black for $1.99 and I LOVE IT! I find with my Nano liner, that although it is super smooth, I can't get a thin line out of it, no matter how much I sharpen it. With the Wet'n'Wild Megalast liner I can. It's a little harder than the Nano liner, but I find that allows me to have more control over application.

I find that I am really starting to fall in love with Wet'n'Wild products!

I would definitely recommend these products to all my friends! Sometimes, cheaper is better!

Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Less Sugar Please!!

Hey-lo!!!

Well, I think my "diet" is already starting to work! The only "junk" I consumed yesterday was a European Kit-Kat bar and a push pop popsicle. Why a European Kit-Kat you ask? Because the chocolate tastes like chocolate! (not wax!) And my manager got it for me because she knows I like them, so of course I had to consume it. And the push pop because the lovely HR girls here at work decided we all needed a popsicle on such a hot day (it got to 82F!)
Everything else I ate was "natural" and I have to say, I am feeling pretty good today! I didn't sleep the best (due to a sore throat) but I have more energy today than I did yesterday!

This mornings breakfast was almost the same as yesterdays:

But today I added some fresh blueberries instead of banana. I have some strawberries and green pepper to snack on today and am unsure what I am going to have for lunch. Likely a left over slice of pepperoni pizza (I know..its bad, but it's leftovers! And I am only going to have one! Promise!)

And since I had a sore throat this morning, I decided to stop in at Walgreen's on my way to work to pick up some cough/throat drops. I was reading the latest issue of Self Magazine on the way to work this morning and there was an article about hidden sugars. Well, I decided that I am going to try and consume less fake sugar in my everyday travels. So, naturally, when I got to the cough drop aisle, I headed straight for Ricola!
I was going to grab the "Sugar Free" version, but I read the back and the first inactive ingredient was aspartame. That is one thing I steer clear from! No diet stuff for me, mostly no sugar free because I don't want to consume aspartame or splenda, or things like that.

So I decided to get the Honey Lemon Echinacea flavor because it was sweetened with Honey and a very little big of sugar (sugar was listed as the last inactive ingredient)


Of course, while there, I had to check out my favorite section! (the cosmetics section)
They were having a bunch of sales, but all the items and colors I would have wanted were already sold out. I decided to take a peak at the Wet n Wild section to see what was available. I love their price point. 

I grabbed a new Wet Shine nail polish called "Blazed". A very soft coral color that I can't wait to try out! I am thinking of doing a citrus themed french manicure this weekend. Painting my nails white and then using "Blazed", "Green with Envy" by Sally Hansen, and a yellow I have yet to buy as the white part of the manicure. 


I also decided to try one of their lipsticks. I have such a hard time finding lipsticks that work for me (hence me owning so many glosses) but at $1.50 I decided I couldn't go wrong, even if it didn't look good.

I picked up Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in C905D Smokin' Hot Pink...all I can say is LOVE IT!!!!
It is such a beautiful bright pink! And it works with my skin tone as well. I will definitely have to try more of their lipsticks in the future!


I have found another perfume that I absolutely adore. I have this weird thing for Paris Hilton.

It's like a love/hate relationship. I think shes fabulous and love the way she dresses and accessorizes and all that stuff, but then she has also grown up with money, has entitlement issues, and acts (hopefully) like a total ditz. I think shes beautiful but annoying (or maybe just misunderstood). But her perfume "Heiress" is on my top 10 list for perfumes I love! Probably even in the top 5.

Who's your celebrity love/hate relationship with?
