Accessories/Betsey Johnson Haul!


Here's a few things I bought yesterday.. I'm loving them all! It's funny I ended up buying all Betsey Johnson.. not on purpose. If I haven't mentioned already, I am a watch fanatic. I LOVE WATCHES more than any accessory. If I like a watch, it's really hard to get it out of my mind.. and then I'll end up buying it. I have a watch in every color to match every outfit.. and I love over sized dials. It's so sparkly and its my favorite shade of pink. :)


Original $135 for $54.99 at Nordstrom Rack!

Seashell Earrings $11.97 at Nordstrom Rack

Cupcake socks! $6.99 at Marshalls

And I got this cute rhinestone bow ring at New York & Co. in the mall for around $12. It's very flashy!

And.. a couple other things from last week.. I've been on the lookout for a white ceramic watch with Rhinestones.. and while browsing at the TJMaxx Jewelry counter, I saw a white watch with Rhinestones I really liked for $79.99.




Love these! They were $12.99 at TJMaxx, I also saw them at Nordstrom Rack.

Thats all for my haulage!

Throw out your Skintimate Shave Gel & buy this!

Skintimate Shave Cream!!

It may be like a dollar more then the gel, but this stuff is amazing! It totally beats the shave gel. I will never use anything else! It makes my legs silky smooth and so very, very soft :)



This is the routine: Skintimate Shave Cream, Schick Quattro (yes, for men.. I think they work better) & Dove Cream Oil (makes my legs super soft and shiny) & BAM!

FOTD with MAC Antique Green Pigment!

I wasn't going to post this because It looked 1,000 times better in person. I could not get any decent pictures. Taking flash pictures always makes my eye shadow not look blended. But whatever. Here is what I wore on my eyes today. My MAC Antique Green pigment never gets any love so I decided to wear it today. It seems to irritate my eyes though so I may have to swap it out.. which stinks because its one of my favorite pigments. :'(


Face: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Tawny
MAC Select Cover up in NW25
YSL Touche Eclat #1
MAC Refined Golden Bronzer
MAC Petticoat MSF

Eyes: L'Oreal HIP Paint in Secretive (base)
MAC Antique Green Pigment (all over lid)
MAC Carbon Eye Shadow (in the crease & lined under eyes)
MAC Surreal Eye Shadow (blended into highlight)
Urban Decay Sin Eyeshadow (highlight)
Milani Eye Tech Liner Pen in Black
Ardell 111 false lashes (my favorite!)

Lips: NYX Fig Round Lipstick with MAC Fleshpot lipstick mixed over it

Covergirl Lash Blast Length Mascara Review!

Covergirl Lash Blast Length Mascara

Ever since I tried the Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara, I have been HOOKED. I wear it ever single day and it's probably my favorite drugstore mascara. When I heard that they came out with a Lash Blast LENGTH, I had to get my hands on it. Covergirl Lash Blast is a very good volumizing mascara, but it doesn't do much for length. Very Minimal. 

So, my thoughts were: This mascara is going to be exactly the same as Last Blast but PLUS length! 

Well, I was wrong. It does only length. And really, it didn't do anything for me. It barely made my lashes any longer. Maybe a microscopic half a millimeter? It is also very dry.. in comparison to the original Lash Blast. You don't get as much product on your wand. I seriously had to sit and apply this to my lashes for over 10 minutes and I had barely any length or volume. Sad. *sigh* BUT, on the plus side, it looks nice when I apply a coat of the CG Length and apply a coat of the CG Original over it. I do notice a tiny difference (which is similar to when I apply a lash base). The formula also didn't flake, smudge or go under my eyes.. which is a plus. I suppose if you like a really natural mascara, you might like this. But if you're looking for something dramatic like me, this is not it. Also, what may work for you may not work for me. 




The wands in comparison to each other. As you may notice, the CG Length had a thinner brush and wand, and there is a lot less product on the wand.



Have you tried this mascara? What are your thoughts?
