Coming Soon

My list of products I'd like to try will be posted later than I hope it would be. Sorry about that, but things came up that got in the way of that happening.  I will post it as soon as I can.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Thanks for reading!

hmm..what's for breakfast, lunch....

     I clearly need to go on some cooking blogs, and read some cookbooks, cuz I'm in a cooking/ baking rut. Cooking and baking helps me go to my happy place (as dorky as that may sound) just like doing my makeup does, but lately that hasn't been happening, which is not a good thing!

     Got any recipes I should try?


     Thanks for reading!

Splurge vs Save

       Here is my dupe list. I've been keeping notes in my journal for dupes for high-end makeup, and decided to post it here to share with you all.

* Splurge vs. Save #2


As always, thanks for reading!

In the works

I've been working on the Save Or Splurge Dupe List post, & it will be posted soon. It just needs to be edited a bit more -_-;

Hope the list will help you loves (&/ or others) to look gorgeous, & keep your wallet happy..lol! 

Hmm That Seems Interesting ...

      Just like there's a good, and bad side to everything, watching beauty channels, and reading beauty blogs aren't exceptions. I have a note book that I use to list products that I think I would like thanks to beauty gurus.
     
     Fortunately, I'm able to edit the list (which is pretty long) by looking up reviews by non beauty gurus to get an idea if I should get it or not. (Yes. I know this is an obvious thing to do, but there are times where it's unfortunately easy to not do this step; either because we're busy, too excited get it, or don't feel like it).

       I'll be posting my list asap, which will always get updated (which can either be a good or bad thing). Do you have a list too? Let me know what you've been wanting to try.


      Hope everyone had a great weekend!
