Any idea how hard it is to get polishes and not try them out for a MONTH !
heeheehee

Bath and Body Works : Paris Amour : Review


I originally bought this body spray because Bath & Body Works had the deal that if you bought anything from their signature collection you got a free gift.
I wanted to try something new and this seemed like a good pick.
Here is the description from their website :

Lavishly spritz our refreshing Fragrance Mist all over your body to leave skin lightly scented with our exclusive Paris Amour, a dreamy blend of French tulips, apple blossoms and sparkling pink champagne, inspired by a romantic stroll through the streets of Paris.
Top: Sparkling Mandarin, Petite Strawberry, Cassis, Pink Champagne, Apple Blossom, Dewy Freesia
Middle: Luscious Peach, Jasmine Petals, French Tulip, Water Lily, Frangipani
Dry: French Vanilla, Coconut Milk, Amber Wood, Sandalwood, Creamy Musk

Awesome, right ?

This was the free gift :
A full sized lotion and cute pink make-up bag with The Eiffel Tower as the zipper :) 
The lotion is called Charmed Life
I ended up giving it to my Mom who like the smell a lot more than I did
And BRAVO Bath and Body Works !!!
My Mom is soooooooo picky ! She hates every thing I love.
Plus, this helped her skin, A LOT.
So no matter your age or skin type, these lotions are my new favorite, make them yours !!!!

They gave me another coupon for buy one get one free, so I went back a few days later and got two different lotions for Paris Amour
These products are amazing !!!
I use them every day before work and I can still smell them on my skin and clothes after I'm home 15 hours later !
I don't have to reapply the lotion unless I wash my hands and I only use more spray after I smoke.

I got a little bit of proof that this lotion lasts yesterday :)
I had put it on Friday before going out, on Saturday before showering, I laid in the sun.
My sweat was white and smelled like Paris !!!
LoOoL

Really great stuff here, check it out !

Thumbs up for sales !!!!

Long Lasting Make-Up : How I Keep My Face On

Today I'm going to show you how I keep my make-up on all day, through working 11 hours, being in the heat & once in awhile sleeping !
I know sleeping in make-up is bad but some nights I'm to tired to even change clothes, let alone wash my face :s

Here are the products I use most often :

Now everyone is thinking : Holy Moly !!! She puts all that on her face ????
LOL
Sadly yes, I can't stand going out without make-up if I'm dressed up....
Here is the list :
Foundation : Maybelline Fit Me - 350
Powder : Maybelline Fit Me - 350
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer
Maybelline Eye Shadow Trio in Smokey Surprise
Hard Candy Walk the Line liquid eyeliner that is supposed to help your lashes grow :)
Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara ( When I'm wearing fake lashes. I wear Loreal Voluminous  the rest of the time because Falsies flared likes to flake on me...but not my friend :s)
Victoria's Secret Lip Liner in Warm Honey
Loreal Infallible Lipstick in Forever Frappe
Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss in BANANAS !

Woah...that's a lot, my hand cramped up. LOL

One good thing is that besides the Urban Decay Primer, all these can be found at Walmart or Drug Stores :)


I'm not saying this is what I do everyday, that would be exhausting.
This is usually for work, or if I'm going out with friends :)
The rest of the time, I don't so much care.

Ok now the proof is in the pictures.
None of my make-up has been touched up since I put it on.
I will tell you how long that is in every picture :)


This is about 6 hours into my day and a few coffees and cigarettes


This is after about 3 hours of shopping :)


This is being outside all day with temperatures in the 80's


This is the make-up I did to go out with my boyfriend x, who proceeded to blow me off and I went to bed angry....


The next day I woke up looking like this...
LoOoL It was cold that morning...
Everything's messed up, but its still there ! hahaha


This is a crappy picture but it's after about 9 hours of working


This is after 15 hour day working, and is about how I felt lol


So trust me, it doesn't feel like a lot on your face, and as long as you don't rub it, it will last you all day and night !
Hope I helped !!!

Thumbs up for going to sleep with straight hair and waking up with curly hair....my silly strands.

Inspiration : Style Magazine

Good morning my lovely readers !
At least I think its morning, there's no sun yet :s
I wanted to show you I few pictures I took out of this months Style Magazine as inspiration for Fall fashion this year.
Another thing I'd like to say is that I work 3 jobs and can't afford the kinds of things in this magazine so that's why I say inspiration.
Good style doesn't have to be expensive :)

Let's look at some of my favorite styles :



These two pictures are not styles I admire.
The pictures how ever, do remind me of Fall, and the magical feel it brings here :)
This is inspiration in another way.




This is an outfit I WISH I could rock ;p
Check out the mile long legs !!!!
I have short stubby things....


Sexy red, shiny lips. Luscious long eye lashes.
I never realized how much I envy her style !

And this dress is amazing. It has the stripes that I like, black and white which is classic, shape to hug curves,
just a really good look !
Well for her..but hey she's Kim Kardashian, what looks bad on her ????


Kim's sister Khloe, who I did not realize was this thin..
What happened to your gorgeous curves ?
You look amazing either way...
But as I was reading this while half asleep, I took her jumpsuit for a dress.
Wouldn't this be gorgeous as a lbd ?
Like a modern day Morticia Addams ;p



Shoes....
My mortal enemy.
It's really not fair to be beautiful and not made in my size...
Anyway, these are some fall styles that I will be looking for on the cheaper side of things.


In love with booties ;p


Cropped jackets, I own an old poofy one, but this is more like it !!!
Very rider, very fall professional :)

Ok, I will tell you now, I am addicted to scarves !
I have been seeing this very light style of scarf everywhere in stores.
Something sheer to wrap around your neck or shoulders.

This is the easiest thing in the whole book !!! 
My advice is to put your own variation on it and recreate yourself :)



Jewelry, my favorite part of shopping.
Animal rings....so come on spiders !!!
LOL

I don't like pearls, but I can deal with them for the spikes :) Now that being said....

This bracelet is full of dark pearls and I find it absolutely gorgeous !!!


And this had nothing to do with style but OMG
I'm learning to make this if I can't find any :)


Thumbs up for Fall Fashion and seasonal ice cream flavors !
Come September I'll be hitting up my local ice cream shop for a cone of pumpkin ice cream.
Don't knock it until you try it !!!!

::Haul:: Clothes : Make-Up : Nail Polish : Single Girl Saturday

Ok !!!!
In this post I just wanted to show you where some of my money goes when I go shopping :)

It's easier to say it in pictures :)

Nail Polish from the last 2 days :s

Now on to some fashion :)

My new obsession is stripes :)

Stripes out shopping :)



Now some new editions to my stripe fetish ;)

 A gorgeous striped coat from Wet Seal



A lovely stripped shirt from WalMart !

My entire haul :
Style Magazine, Glamour Magazine, Fall jacket, striped shirt, Jewelry, Make-up.


 The earrings above I found in Claire's in their Halloween display :)


But this ring, which I adore, I found at a salon I had gone into asking about O.P.I.


 Maybelline Fit Me Foundation 350
I haven't had a chance to try out the powder, I got it a few days after the foundation.
But the foundation matches pretty well and lasted on my face VERY well.

This is maybe 10 hours after putting it on, some time in the middle of the night so I apologize for the darker picture :(
But it last me through shopping, crazy traffic, grocery shopping in a crowded Walmart, making dinner
&
Breaking up with my boyfriend X

So yeah...good foundation, I'm excited to see the powder :)

Thumbs up for searching the world AGAIN for true love :s


P.S. With all the time to myself, not much of a change actually, I laid in the sun all day and enjoyed myself :)

 Wonderin' & Wishin'
 Kisses !!!! 
Love you all ! Thank you for reading !!!
