Fun Day + Cheapy haul

Today I had a great time with my love, we actually woke up early on a saturday [our day off], so we could take advantage of the whole day, so this is what we did...first we went to breakfast..it was yummy, then we went to da bank to get some $$$, then we headed to the fleamarket it took us about 20 min to get there...I love long drives cuz this gives me and my love a chance to be silly and have great conversations..I bought me some nice cheapo make-up, and my baby got himself..some nice shirt, cap, and sunglasses... then we came home and took a 3 hr nap..we were so tired from waking up early and walking around!!

This is us early in da morning ..do I look sleepy?

I took a pic when we were on da way..I tried taking some of my baby but he doesn't really like me taking pix of him :(

It was effing cold so my baby bought me this little hoodie??? I dont know what it's called..I might look silly but it was super warm..I'm saving it for next winter :D

So on with my Cheapy Haul:

I got a bunch of stuff for a great price!!


Physicians Formula "Baked Sweets"---$3

Revlon sheer loose shadows "Head in the Clouds"---$3
NYX Eyeshadow Trio "Spring Leaf/Lime Green/Green Tea"---$2
NYX Blush "Pinky"---$4
L'oreal H.i.P Duos "Showy", "Wicked", "Flashy"---$2

So in total for these awesome goodies I spent about $20, so I was able to satisfy my addiction without spending too much..
***Swatches coming soon!!

Review: Prestige Classic Lipsticks


Where I bought these: Walgreens

Price: [onsale] for $1.29
Usually run from $3.99-4.99

What the Prestige Webstite claims:

Prestige Classic Lipstick offers intense color depth in a lightweight, creamy formula.
Comfortable, long-wearing shades, with moisturizing ingredients, keep lips soft and smooth.


**Note: Always and of course must you have your lips well moisturized and if available a good base is always an option, If u have trouble with dried lips..click here for more info on how to prevent this problem.

What I think!!

In my opinion, I think these are one of the best lippies that I have tried out of the drugstore brands. These lippies do go on very creamy and stay on for a very good amount of time before u have to reapply.Before applying the l/s I always apply my carmex, just a light coverage to make sure theyre not to dry for the l/s...the l/s goes on very smoothly...these lippies are very comparable to the NYX round l/s..only they do last a little longer than NYX..so if u gals have a nearby walgreens go check if these are on sale..if not, the $4 would not be a bad price to purchase these!!


Final Verdict!

I will def go back to walgreens and purchase more of these :D
Any questions???Let me know.
Thanx ladies and I hope my review was helpful :D Buh BYE!!

BTW I did purchase two more l/s [slipper, fever] and two l/l [tomango, baby] a couple of days ago so here are the new ones I bought:

slipper kinda looks a little darker than spunky..and fever kinda looks like "indian pink" from NYX


I bought tomango cuz it's such a vibrant red..I needed a red l/l, and I got baby just cuz the color was too cute not to buy...

Review: e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder




Where I bought it: e.l.f

Price: $3.00



What the e.l.f website claims:

Create a healthy and natural glow all year long. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition.



What I think!!

In my opinion, I loved the color of the blush and the fact that it has tiny bit of shimmer to it, however u really do have to grab quite a bit in order for it to show on ur cheeks...other than that the blush is perfect!

The bronzer on the other hand is a bit too dark, even for my skin color..so for the bronzer a little really does go a long way..


Final Verdict!

I will continue to use the blush but as far as the bronzer goes, I dont think I will be using it too much..Like i said its too dark for me...So all in all I would recommend this product, The blush is such a pretty shimmery coral color and I love it, and the price..u def cant go wrong with that :D


So ladies I hope u liked my review and I hope it will make ur decision on buying or not buying easier :D


Buh bye!!
