11.22.2010 Beauty

Today I was a day of little production. I started at JoAnn's, and because Big Lots was right next door, I thought I'd drop by to see what beauty steals they would have. They had a lot of elf products. But I didn't buy anything because nothing looked appealing to me. Plus, it's a ghetto Big Lots where products were spilling out of their packaging, or just kind of gross looking. Then I headed to WalMart because I needed to buy Adapter chords. I rarely ever carry a list with me, and realized I should have bought Hot Hands Hand Warmers. They're ridiculously convenient. Last night I used one because it was so cold, at around 53 degrees when I checked. I heard in the news this morning that it was in the 40's when I woke up today. I forgot to find them though. Instead, I perused the beauty dept. but didn't find anything worth buying. My last stop was at Urban Outfitters where I was in search of the lipgloss rings I talked about two posts ago. Last night I was so tempted to buy them online in black, mint, and ivory but hesitated when I saw the shipping's 10 bucks. And it was a good thing I went there too cause I found only one left for 1.99, but then I saw the lipgloss was used and the rosette pretty much snapped off. And to top it all off, it didn't even fit my fingers. haha. So that was today for me. And I should have taken a picture of my face, but forgot and the card is in the reader already.. whatever. Instead, so this isn't a boring entry, my mom picked me up these statement rings at her work that were on sale for like 7-8 dollars. I was ecstatic! They're duo purposed where you flip the top, and it's a clock. She mainly got them for me because of that while she does know about my obsession for big, obnoxious rings.

11.21.2010 Beauty

Ever since my bf went to Hawaii, I haven't been up to much. Had lunch with my friend at the Souplantation, and already thought of gifts to buy while strolling through Kohl's. If there's anything on my mind though, it's beauty products I'm thinking of buying. These are products I want, but a lot of them are kind of pricey. Like how awesome is that Paul & Joe Makeup Binder? But the price is ridiculous. What the heck is so great about Paul & Joe anyway? Just because they're some fancy schmancy French brand? As cute as the packaging of them are, they almost remind me of the products sold in Longs Drugs from the nineties. Whatever. I loved Longs Drugs. What I'm really loving these days are statement rings. And the ones I found and shown are multipurpose, which I am loving. The black one is a lipgloss, and the cocktail one is a solid perfume by Juicy couture. And although, I don't really care for the Tarte blushes, I'm sold by the statement ring it comes with. I heard the Sephora lipglosses was a small palette, but I love the colors. If anything, I do have a coupon to Bed Bath and Beyond, so I might go there and buy the Dream matte mousse products. I feel like I'll eventually try and get some of these products soon. At least, the ones I can afford. Esp. that black ring which is only like 4 bucks.

10.24.10 Outfit of the Day (OOTD) and a Statement Ring

So, I felt I needed to post this before the day ended, because this is what I really wore today. And I didn't really smile like this for the sake of taking a photo of myself. I noticed my baby dog staring at me, wondering what the heck I was doing. hah. I'm still not really used to taking a picture of myself, but figured that I should if the majority of my posts talk about my obsession with beauty. I don't have the money to shop high end, but I do like fashion.

Oh, and so when I did go out, I didn't pick up the new Ecotools brush set but I did get this awesome new statement Owl Ring from Kohl's. Pretty awesome! It was only like 8 bucks. And really the rest of the day went to shopping for necessities for the spare room I'm supposed to be working on. I get to use my trial Autocad for Mac software! Soo excited! Although I'm a little hesitant now that it's so easy to get if you want to shell out 4,000 dollars. I'll be sad when the end of the month arrives.

9.28.10 Statement rings

I read an article one time in a fashion magazine I can't remember of Ally Hilfiger talking about what she feels is fashion forward right now and one of them are statement rings. I love Ally Hilfiger's style and so when I saw this, I thought this was something that sounded cool and something I wanted to get into. It probably also didn't help that one of my favorite beauty bloggers/youtubers is this girl name Belledujournyc and she has this awesome Marc Jacobs ring that is only 11 dollars and that you can only get at Marc by Marc Jacob stores. It breaks my heart that we don't have one here.

Anyway, so I went to H&M last night and found this combo set of gold and silver ornament rings for only 5.95! From the way they look and feel, it's obviously something that is not gold or silver and you wouldn't really want to get it wet for too long unless you want it faded white or something like that, but for 5.95 for a set of rings that will enhance your outfit and make all the drinks you drink look extra enviable, these are it.
