In New York City I stumbled across the Muji Store in Times Square (there are 2 other NYC locations as well) and I saw an entire display of these acrylic storage cases. They have single drawer, 2 drawers, 2 drawers with lids, 3 drawers and a 5 drawer case. The 5 drawer case resembled The Clear Cube but with smaller drawers while the 2 drawer cases were much deeper. They are easily stackable to make it convenient for you if you want to build upon it. The Clear Cube is around $300 for only 5 drawers. I don't know about you but I need much more than 5 drawers. If you remember the episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, the sisters have a few of these and not just one, but of course, THEY can afford it.<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#990000;">Look how easily you can stack them!<br /><br /><br /></span></strong><strong><span style="color:#990000;"></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL3pD0P4UC4RH51yyHMzZkUlSH85S-HW0_blhBSJxK6bUhMTxTDkoEiF-35d_1P707zfVGljPtF9kjTTqh7Fal4SbDnmLwoSm6AT4m19ioK8aYwER_AvZQXzAUZhvfY3WT2FHYny97iA/s1600/IMG_0999.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568781991679407986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL3pD0P4UC4RH51yyHMzZkUlSH85S-HW0_blhBSJxK6bUhMTxTDkoEiF-35d_1P707zfVGljPtF9kjTTqh7Fal4SbDnmLwoSm6AT4m19ioK8aYwER_AvZQXzAUZhvfY3WT2FHYny97iA/s320/IMG_0999.jpg" border="0" /></a> The prices for the Muji Organizational Cases are a lot more affordable and are made of the same durable acrylic except they don't have knobs to pull out the drawers but have a little cleft for your finger to go through to pull it out, but for the price you can't beat it!!!!<br /><br /><p>All of the different sets of drawers are in the range and can be found here:</p><br /><br /><p><a href="http://muji.us.com/">http://muji.us.com/</a> </p><br /><p>These badboys are a hot commodity so the best thing to do is call their Chelsea location since they are the store that ships out to you if you can't find them online and as long as they have them in stock. I am not 100% sure if their other locations offer to ship them to you for about $10 Fed Ex shipping but you can always call them and ask. Happy Makeup organization Ladies. </p><p><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCmcxPdX-RILFOMWcJCLZ4TwN1b-k5-2g_uiSCh1qsbBqaV4GkJIrI9ZVhrJxwGVPA32yYrkyzAO6TZ-fraiDhaROgISy3QDo6OcJ8JrlFvUYuwxKqpoac6Swrc750o52PCoLKYIQRgg/s1600/IMG_1007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568782410053452226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCmcxPdX-RILFOMWcJCLZ4TwN1b-k5-2g_uiSCh1qsbBqaV4GkJIrI9ZVhrJxwGVPA32yYrkyzAO6TZ-fraiDhaROgISy3QDo6OcJ8JrlFvUYuwxKqpoac6Swrc750o52PCoLKYIQRgg/s320/IMG_1007.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p>To get the affordable brushes you see here, go to: <a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=57286">http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=57286</a> </p>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294536056883080337.post-72525056375389391642011-02-01T08:10:00.000-08:002011-02-01T10:06:45.315-08:00Sigma Sigmax HD Brushes<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ukZ2EHU_Y8A?fs=1" frameborder="0" width="480" height="295" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFCZR2dric2jCXShb9zxCVnb7CuDgD7ecZS_P3xgF7p0xEpjzVLQa6EDC_o3gRURQmqNh6LDZVLb4o8qa5N7HRDTOTyKMJfRMoD0KJyt4-1XoOXiW4vgk47tGU_S5x_BlnXzfDPg6NQ/s1600/IMG_0932.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568764986877101298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFCZR2dric2jCXShb9zxCVnb7CuDgD7ecZS_P3xgF7p0xEpjzVLQa6EDC_o3gRURQmqNh6LDZVLb4o8qa5N7HRDTOTyKMJfRMoD0KJyt4-1XoOXiW4vgk47tGU_S5x_BlnXzfDPg6NQ/s320/IMG_0932.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I recently purchased Sigma's new and innovative Sigmax Synthetic Brushes.

It really does give Lush a run for its money. Now, I am a big fan of lush and I have a big lush haul on this blog site in fact, but their products are not as cute as these soaps. Her website for these soaps are: http://melsweetbar.com for you to look and review. Her prices range from $3 - $6 and her shipping costs are reasonable due to the fact that she ships according to weight.</div><div><br /></div><div>The soaps all smell DELICIOUS and are true to their name! They are all handmade and made-to-order in fact, so you are all receiving brand new soaps made with love. </div><div><br /></div><div>I had the pleasure of buying her products on two very recent occasions. One was on January 11, 2011 where she was having a sale for those spending more than $20 (if you did it night before) or $25 if it was on the 11th itself. With your order you received a free Hello Kitty Soap (valued at $5 and free expedited shipping). I jumped on the chance and ordered 3 soaps and 2 bath bombs (my favorite treat). I received it in 2 days time and was thrilled at the cute packaging details.

I have recently purchased Maybelline's Dream Smooth Mousse and had liked it's consistency and the matching to my skin tone was flawless so I figured, "what the hell?" and purchased this one as well. Their main focus is to not only provide you with a great foundation, but they also have a concealer, press powder, bronzer and blush. I only purchased the foundation, press powder and concealer since I already have enough bronzer and blush and didn't need these extras. <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGQARYE1YVWkUpTyzKLBJzObhvcBjdUW_ZUw72Phekqcj4Ia3NW8Q5iDLnTmgqH-qqfFXJ2W0DfsxxGFuIDEKNPcqFFbYf2iDZgOL7yJajyg6qtVeY04UZrN0eFt5zNd0FNX152UG-4Q/s320/IMG_0877.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564382121581897458" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><div>The foundation comes with SPF of 18, so not too much but also better than nothing if you're looking for SPF protection. I have read and seen some reviews on this where people with oily or somewhat oily skin found that the foundation didn't last and gave them a lot of oily spotting. I have a very oily nose and the rest of my skin is somewhat dry or normal. I put this foundation on at 7AM and did have to use their pressing powder throughout the day since my nose was oily. Today I did my makeup again with this foundation and I put it on at noon and it is 4:30PM and I have ZERO oily spots at all. Today I used my Makeup Forever HD powder instead and it has lasted me throughout the day so far with no oils so the foundation seems to be matching up so far. I would definitely recommend this drugstore foundation to those who can match their skin tone. They have about 12 different shades (4 for light, 4 for medium and 4 for darker/deep shades). Let me know what you think!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Watch my review on this on YouTube: </div><div><br /></div><div><iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2piFVjf3C9g?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294536056883080337.post-85529354455300022032010-05-08T20:16:00.000-07:002010-05-08T20:27:07.280-07:00N.Y.C.

Their prices are under $5.00 in most drug stores all over. I snagged up 4 of them so far.<div><br /></div><div>Cream blushes are so great because they give you such a natural glow and can be used alone or as a base to some of your favorite powder blushes to help them adhere and last even longer.</div><div><br /></div><div>There in particular have such a great payoff and creamy consistency and will last all day. I hope you can find them because they seem to be selling fast!!!! Go grab some if you can!</div><div><br /></div><div>The colors I chose were from left to right above, Plaza Pink, Berry New Yorker, Big Apple Blush and South St. Seashell!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294536056883080337.post-12272345021138629942010-05-08T19:59:00.001-07:002010-05-08T20:16:00.917-07:00Kevyn Aucoin Haul<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLIPV3rKz1TnVxxjtczME67a_eCJnVJBJ6CtmE1PiBGo9EipTvoNTpRl9iJEKUBR6llXNRG7nCwUwUIU8pL4FBkxppdlq2swE0w7_JHLwx0O9PbgRfZGgtKLc5eV49UKZ1fN2w1AZzww/s1600/IMG_0149.JPG"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxrwEotX4d42MIGXp4xTmqvHUb6J7X6YaHG7Waa7cm5gU7njXslZPJaJDcFavLbFJCgQYV_eGbmzOZqC62ozRBUItxA18_NZCVGv-Ztq1cf5I8r8iJlFE8JcCfOORdNs8cwQIExAB_g/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxrwEotX4d42MIGXp4xTmqvHUb6J7X6YaHG7Waa7cm5gU7njXslZPJaJDcFavLbFJCgQYV_eGbmzOZqC62ozRBUItxA18_NZCVGv-Ztq1cf5I8r8iJlFE8JcCfOORdNs8cwQIExAB_g/s320/IMG_0148.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469101190462478178" /></a><br />So sorry that I've been so MIA lately!!!

I went on Kevyn's website and saw it there more closely and saw the price of $48 and then Haute Look's price of half of that and knew I was getting a great deal. The face pallete consisted of 3 eyeshadows, 2 blushes in a powder and cream version and 3 lip sticks, a blush brush and eye and lip basic brush.

We are finally taking some time to ourselves and indulging in luscious baths, and it is about time we did.</div><br /><br /><p>This is just a small review of some of the products I have (since many of my bubble bars were already attacked and used up).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOrfuVXc9zB8g6BhBJeXdKKcvU5vzBZg5oxgqccDSxZlhHjLclVNR1FaKq3u38amLVmWMsBltSurgIlEBaKMhsvvMZH_3KeyKmvCx9_ySr3-qWBQ_6OL0nBcKX5uiAqe5U5B0HJyfIA/s1600/Blog+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459632581738478290" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOrfuVXc9zB8g6BhBJeXdKKcvU5vzBZg5oxgqccDSxZlhHjLclVNR1FaKq3u38amLVmWMsBltSurgIlEBaKMhsvvMZH_3KeyKmvCx9_ySr3-qWBQ_6OL0nBcKX5uiAqe5U5B0HJyfIA/s320/Blog+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This past Easter Season, Lush came out with 5 products, 2 of them were huge Easter eggs (called Happy Easter) filled with a soap and bubble bar. Either you picked up the Pink One, which consisted of an entire huge egg of their famous Think Pink bath bomb with rockstar soap and Creamy Candy bubble bar inside or, like myself, you got the Yellow One, which consisted of a huge Honey Bee bath bomb and Honey I Washed the Kids soap and Mar Bar bubble bar inside. I chose the Yellow One because I absolutely adore Honey I Washed the Kids soap as well as Honey Bee Bath Bomb, which goes so well together. Both of these smell like honey mixed with Caramel, which Mar Bar is honey and toffee mixed in...DELICIOUS!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbkztIaWkf_vhLWI2V2fGSURqVGh2e9yQQhDz76t_yKvZzSMRRgpkIl1fJrK4YhQbmMtr3Ri9U60UavahPrAa7uNXLTwY_yWCSxVAUE8ITTBlmdCTK9tGpoCYWhyphenhyphenGhfaEhrl7tObdkg/s1600/Blog+017+BETTER.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459642253359078034" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbkztIaWkf_vhLWI2V2fGSURqVGh2e9yQQhDz76t_yKvZzSMRRgpkIl1fJrK4YhQbmMtr3Ri9U60UavahPrAa7uNXLTwY_yWCSxVAUE8ITTBlmdCTK9tGpoCYWhyphenhyphenGhfaEhrl7tObdkg/s320/Blog+017+BETTER.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAqPN1_S6enL-MYx_-Ze_F0nCXWdnqwYttRKkotH9fTKEj5GmsDk9TLNHbLvXysoYlzYejXEv-a4MVQv6BFyPY4scKxiGOFX0mnEq6vj5afRGv30KwT8OAM-2GQ80NZFeoG36f8n2-4w/s1600/Blog+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459635113790725586" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAqPN1_S6enL-MYx_-Ze_F0nCXWdnqwYttRKkotH9fTKEj5GmsDk9TLNHbLvXysoYlzYejXEv-a4MVQv6BFyPY4scKxiGOFX0mnEq6vj5afRGv30KwT8OAM-2GQ80NZFeoG36f8n2-4w/s320/Blog+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Some of their other Easter products were 3 different bath bombs. One was their pink Fluffy Egg, which smells sweet like candy. Unfortunately one of mine fell in transit, but will still be completely used up. Although this bath bomb smells decadent, it doesn't last very long in the bath. It does make your bath smell wonderful and turns your bath water pink, but I was still disappointed on the fact that as soon as it touched water, it disappeared in about 15-20 seconds. I like my bath bombs to sort of linger in the water with you.<br /><br />Their other two bath bombs, both yellow is Hippy Chick, shaped like a little chick and Honey Bun. The Honey Bun smells very similar to Honey Bee since to is infused with Honey and Toffee and Hippy Chick is a strong grapefruit smell that should awaken your senses. Although I have yet to try these bath bombs, I have a distinct feeling that they too will disappear within seconds.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFW7jfHbYJNYuRKV3hb9sgTBdKny4XqLY3oveGeBFNMogdSnTeXRfLLhKAzp7Gyy0oPLD4gSv7xSsg7P0cGQzDJWbn_NcuOoE10hIXqxu4Gdw76XOzdbiSHL4-leQU9ASKIvlMy3svwQ/s1600/Blog+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459636645117912834" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFW7jfHbYJNYuRKV3hb9sgTBdKny4XqLY3oveGeBFNMogdSnTeXRfLLhKAzp7Gyy0oPLD4gSv7xSsg7P0cGQzDJWbn_NcuOoE10hIXqxu4Gdw76XOzdbiSHL4-leQU9ASKIvlMy3svwQ/s320/Blog+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Another of their best-selling bath bombs is their Sex Bath Bomb, which has a very floral scent (hence the beautiful rose in the center). After popping this in your bath you will come out, literally, smelling like Rose.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk0fvHiThCxd6FyOx-eoaxP3QZgAuahXZsGgAGilDvFGUe7_z-DNe17IB1MAE6kN_kkYmT5w7Er74K94lDM1q5nc09hCzTSwiw7NaN2QUlT7ho3qVOUarB5J6WauS_nPpMcBNHvMrvlQ/s1600/Blog+019.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459637126156184498" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk0fvHiThCxd6FyOx-eoaxP3QZgAuahXZsGgAGilDvFGUe7_z-DNe17IB1MAE6kN_kkYmT5w7Er74K94lDM1q5nc09hCzTSwiw7NaN2QUlT7ho3qVOUarB5J6WauS_nPpMcBNHvMrvlQ/s320/Blog+019.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you are looking for a great combination to throw in your water to have your skin feeling supple and soft with frothy bubbles, then try one of their bath melts MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt and Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar. This bath melt smells so yummy, just like marshmellows that softens your skin as you bathe and the Pop in the Bar Bubbles has a hint of citrus but lathers so well against your soft skin.<br /><br />But as stated before, to me the BEST combination is:<br /></p><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikM-TAzZuXnhqVVQrY2c4lUBqIvkonfJuXY169u17LFUrDpmdRJ-QHZhavOlLWCA5Mzj6ST_nbrw5gs7pHCPVlupB6FnjB-vxB7YW36SM4DPAMx_DC3iHbwYV9NwFmZX-k0j0sHLL0gw/s1600/Blog+015.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459639831364811714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikM-TAzZuXnhqVVQrY2c4lUBqIvkonfJuXY169u17LFUrDpmdRJ-QHZhavOlLWCA5Mzj6ST_nbrw5gs7pHCPVlupB6FnjB-vxB7YW36SM4DPAMx_DC3iHbwYV9NwFmZX-k0j0sHLL0gw/s320/Blog+015.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br />I cannot get enough of this combo!!! Smelling like honey, caramel and toffee and mix it in with Honey I Washed the Kids soap is PERFECT. It lingers on your skin for so long after the bath.

Also try their Dorothy bubble bar for kicks and giggles and have them dream about the Yellow Brick Road.<br /><br />Take a YOU time and enjoy a wonder LUSHful bath!</div></div></div>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294536056883080337.post-42368082934860219942010-04-10T22:06:00.001-07:002010-04-10T22:34:11.355-07:00MAC OVERHAUL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcU0JIP740BmDdSELB9U4jcW7GQMh1_VKld8a5YadANyXvlBjBHkGTOKA2cGBnq4J4eCurV7zPL5xnUKVNK6hyphenhyphenEsjr0_XIWomAg20kfbOL__beuUn3WDQE_jOWQAAWsWoDbh6ZiUU7ZQ/s1600/IMG_3603.JPG"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZgI5K01btbH12V4uVtmzc6QDbN71VLkbVP79smGbtmSXwll2TuSF4t2vBRP-noZxIrqM2XPjp1B35fRpAKEydXBJcQ39vObajkMT56SC9IIEVerqfORHazADIzSfeKhgHUr3q82o_DQ/s1600/IMG_3604.JPG"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6hU-979ctpKrHLImeRAwQzKZzproRf2Cc7Rl-8_HD6OOSaBSVBxPeinkMYd4JFKh6AJGcWvmnWljX02GjIDuAs0ZRFxXcIGUjlRaqDVprtLZuehjF6RSXAiHCuKYFPL_ti7cBLb0MQ/s1600/IMG_3653.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVj1NJI4KAyDYoKFNhrTv6TcdKV-NuXUuQJDkj8e5GHxTMPXoJBynsbRsPLhTFHCneVHhKZgqpaSNLZVTh-sJm2IO-up9VnhGIbNxDm9Evdw8yvesJ84Auf-x-K5oE0_pVbz3_aoJvUw/s1600/IMG_3616.JPG"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCqAjBWenWxDEDsjXKC9Km4Gf5B3grNWKLUZZrBgDMY8U1PDG33_PcA8MMgL6_Kp-Dv7wSzFifWVhRHrlPD6OFJohG_ZoCR-9bIGaGcgWWLjO1jEbO3NWDzA2w2HJ0QZ5Spe_Hma37Q/s1600/IMG_3613.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8IFpWILrmzL1r6lCWURpkLmB5W_oRcN4bv2tSY6nRwvclKO5Fgq36KICnWBbte0cRwFFciVrJoilVZrjmNzVq0zRwQqoYsvsY30KMrPOKv_qzwNdth2F1NyKNqmYm4mx7MRqT_PEiw/s1600/IMG_3651.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8IFpWILrmzL1r6lCWURpkLmB5W_oRcN4bv2tSY6nRwvclKO5Fgq36KICnWBbte0cRwFFciVrJoilVZrjmNzVq0zRwQqoYsvsY30KMrPOKv_qzwNdth2F1NyKNqmYm4mx7MRqT_PEiw/s320/IMG_3651.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458742280858872850" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This past week I went to my nearby MAC Pro Store in the City and picked up, or shall I say, got persuaded by the lovely Makeup Artist into buying some of their new lines. Since I already purchased the Lady of Liberty Blush the other visit, I then decided to pick up two of their lipsticks, Petal and Peacock, a lovely, vibrant purplish pink and Peachstock, a peachy nude. Both of these lipsticks have a Satin finish so they provide a lot of pigment on your lips. With Petal and Peacock, I decided to buy a lip pencil in the color Magenta in their permanent line, just because I don't want it to bleed, which those colors tend to do.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCqAjBWenWxDEDsjXKC9Km4Gf5B3grNWKLUZZrBgDMY8U1PDG33_PcA8MMgL6_Kp-Dv7wSzFifWVhRHrlPD6OFJohG_ZoCR-9bIGaGcgWWLjO1jEbO3NWDzA2w2HJ0QZ5Spe_Hma37Q/s1600/IMG_3613.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCqAjBWenWxDEDsjXKC9Km4Gf5B3grNWKLUZZrBgDMY8U1PDG33_PcA8MMgL6_Kp-Dv7wSzFifWVhRHrlPD6OFJohG_ZoCR-9bIGaGcgWWLjO1jEbO3NWDzA2w2HJ0QZ5Spe_Hma37Q/s320/IMG_3613.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458743739623288338" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>Next, I purchased more eyeliners from the Art Supply Collection.

He said if you have a small face with smaller apples, the 116 would do the trick better than the 129 and for $32, he better be right!

What perfect way to celebrate Spring than to buy Sandals for the event. I wanted to go to ALDO because they are usually on point when it comes to the latest fashionable shoes and I wanted something I could wear either outside or to work.<br /><br />My first purchase were for the MONNIN Shoes, which are a very, very comfortable brown leather, strappy sandal. They are platform shoes so they give your height, but doesn't strain for your feet and gives support, while still looking for sleek and sexy.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPkMGS1XDT3O3yZMpi1MDvNuQHYG7PL_avUdPuj7TeGPhXpaTz5EM-P8hBBFFR6buBhmotpci0YeuTdo8wQ33k0sUTqZbPr6TTBsUkWFvX-xQknMnv5WXNQhyrtCGyY5Q9U1bFlok0w/s1600/IMG_3567.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPkMGS1XDT3O3yZMpi1MDvNuQHYG7PL_avUdPuj7TeGPhXpaTz5EM-P8hBBFFR6buBhmotpci0YeuTdo8wQ33k0sUTqZbPr6TTBsUkWFvX-xQknMnv5WXNQhyrtCGyY5Q9U1bFlok0w/s320/IMG_3567.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458317809811866482" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The MONNIN's are $70 at ALDO but with all ALDO shoes, they run a bit small and they don't carry 1/2 sizes so I had to get the size 9 (since I'm usually an 8 1/2), but they fit perfectly and are extremely easy on the feet.<br /><br />My next purchase were for the Gray and Pink VANHOVE. I wear a lot of grays (either skirts or slacks) at work and wanted to have a sexy shoe to compliment it and these just caught my eye. Although they are claimed to be platforms, they not as easy on the feet than the MONNINS. The heels are bit higher and pointier but if you can handle it, then they are a beautiful shoe. The VANHOVES retail at $80 at ALDO.</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDYBsIaaimXm3aZCIWME6qZCC-lJ9bh-jKgi2KoOIl-0ixDhSvvU2QjKn4Lr99PuErXsVRubtiOlmwKJfOoGXT8_HkQGNXPfrualNsZUJB_UJiYB92gs1TtGkJqpocLQu6EpdgLXsVrw/s1600/IMG_3569.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDYBsIaaimXm3aZCIWME6qZCC-lJ9bh-jKgi2KoOIl-0ixDhSvvU2QjKn4Lr99PuErXsVRubtiOlmwKJfOoGXT8_HkQGNXPfrualNsZUJB_UJiYB92gs1TtGkJqpocLQu6EpdgLXsVrw/s320/IMG_3569.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458319004113950178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqPmehoWYotfKG1QEpfHZUduo3XzYewXyQrSJFZs0VfMmR9p8BlCyHfT6svH35JC5QnLLedApl2kX6vFDm6sv5iSbmxX3DKS0Qf4ogNhDTASjXw-yjoiwn-ixapCCqg6XwqeKLP1XGw/s1600/IMG_3568.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqPmehoWYotfKG1QEpfHZUduo3XzYewXyQrSJFZs0VfMmR9p8BlCyHfT6svH35JC5QnLLedApl2kX6vFDm6sv5iSbmxX3DKS0Qf4ogNhDTASjXw-yjoiwn-ixapCCqg6XwqeKLP1XGw/s320/IMG_3568.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458318580863041346" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Spring is in the air, so ladies schedule your pedicures and whip out the open toe shoes and sandals!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAFt8lecp3fxqY-ezl6kqldEqIXXP3aDWf2NTwburWpjlwSFlwPKzafhghEHapldx_F6a8cdJfAndeqs21cMZ8rjgiDR31KYDNwSNaLoJ0KO-EuAI97OeWla4-fTQb0sF6pd1sIFGWJQ/s1600/IMG_3571.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAFt8lecp3fxqY-ezl6kqldEqIXXP3aDWf2NTwburWpjlwSFlwPKzafhghEHapldx_F6a8cdJfAndeqs21cMZ8rjgiDR31KYDNwSNaLoJ0KO-EuAI97OeWla4-fTQb0sF6pd1sIFGWJQ/s320/IMG_3571.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458314157168227970" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcuwWJQfjTT6Nbwu92K9SkCwwb34P6CD1yJlrtIUC898jGWMiIB5vEbba9yu1a8xvwDt1XdYNNRaWRyHep4JWPs7FvtrqfkL6PbccdMF-3E9nTKsE-HGmdJJJ90TfLo8TZpqVW5rweQ/s1600/IMG_3572.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcuwWJQfjTT6Nbwu92K9SkCwwb34P6CD1yJlrtIUC898jGWMiIB5vEbba9yu1a8xvwDt1XdYNNRaWRyHep4JWPs7FvtrqfkL6PbccdMF-3E9nTKsE-HGmdJJJ90TfLo8TZpqVW5rweQ/s320/IMG_3572.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458314468280902850" /></a><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">To get better views of the MONNIN's and VANHOVEs or other beautiful ALDO shoes then go to their site:</span> <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/">www.aldoshoes.com</a>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294536056883080337.post-88572522014637585442010-04-09T09:01:00.000-07:002010-04-09T12:26:20.059-07:00MAC Liberty of London Prim and Proper Blush and New Undercurrent Pearl Glide Intense Eye Liner<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieTckCOBHihEXw-ZHKMukmD6XZZfZ3onXd0TRLTWyt5dtWKd6YFT_ge6A1FEK8c4Eru4NQOc22cwgfh5UNNmsL0H7J8gzIH0D0ABEfkOcaIdOHyrUipDWi1ep9Asfzv7u7DjtyMyZgA/s1600/Blog+006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgieTckCOBHihEXw-ZHKMukmD6XZZfZ3onXd0TRLTWyt5dtWKd6YFT_ge6A1FEK8c4Eru4NQOc22cwgfh5UNNmsL0H7J8gzIH0D0ABEfkOcaIdOHyrUipDWi1ep9Asfzv7u7DjtyMyZgA/s320/Blog+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458220656986825858" /></a><br /><br />Yesterday I went by my Mac Pro Store and decided to pick up a few things. My intention there was simply to buy another bottle of their Brush Cleanser and the new Veluxe Shimmer Eyeshadow in "Hey," from the Prep for Colour collection, but as some of you may know, you wind up buying more than you originally thought.<br /><br />Anyhoo, the makeup artist there (Jerome - loved ya!) must have read me to a "T" as he approached me and started telling me all the things that would look wonderful on me and complimenting my already applied makup, suggesting I should go into being an makeup artist, and of course, I ate it up, LOL. After picking up the items I had come in there for, I decided to look at some of the cream blushes, as I have never used any of MAC's before, but he decided to apply Liberty of London's "Prim & Proper" onto my cheeks with the MAC 116 brush (which I thought I purchased but instead he slipped in the 129 which I already own and back to the the Pro store I go today to a swap!). He showed me how it highlighted my cheeks and complimented my skin tone, so I was talked into buying it and I actually like it. It is classified aas a nuetral nude but I find it has some pinkish undertones, so a little goes a long way and I only applied it to the apples of my cheeks. This blush retails for $18.50 and I think the packaging is pretty cute too. These are limited edition and I'm not sure how long they will be available, but if you like the swatches, go grab it before it's gone!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Qp1-3nbNC_CnfqvgXrEBNv31eAxDPGBf1lIBShzoVzIQa5ws14hm-rwUrds5FjGTn622BzzVLcfAU7hHVnsrr9bjApymyeG-OAWt2lb-GwZzUomc1dQrBiCRFk2vbrwVZNSORQBsQ/s1600/Easter+035.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Qp1-3nbNC_CnfqvgXrEBNv31eAxDPGBf1lIBShzoVzIQa5ws14hm-rwUrds5FjGTn622BzzVLcfAU7hHVnsrr9bjApymyeG-OAWt2lb-GwZzUomc1dQrBiCRFk2vbrwVZNSORQBsQ/s320/Easter+035.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458213042423588562" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFmpZd_a6oj9BnhBfqbS114QNpMo7TYV5U0ZkU_BeY8cAH_YEhE4TYKIM8UuX1fkIBCe9p_zk2ekxjU6GBu7PZpP9Yr_aKkrkRDb0oUgMgl8WsQkZwFd3w1Gp93vdCVZCJoXz4IL2UA/s1600/Easter+036.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFmpZd_a6oj9BnhBfqbS114QNpMo7TYV5U0ZkU_BeY8cAH_YEhE4TYKIM8UuX1fkIBCe9p_zk2ekxjU6GBu7PZpP9Yr_aKkrkRDb0oUgMgl8WsQkZwFd3w1Gp93vdCVZCJoXz4IL2UA/s320/Easter+036.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458213161882605522" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />The next purchase was the new MAC eyeliner in Undercurrent. The liner is from the Art Supplies Collection and at first glance I wasn't really interested in the Collection and have been contemplating skipping it altogether, but went I swatched the Undercurrent on my hand, it went on so smoothly and was such a vibrant, green that I knew it would really bring my brown eyes and make them "pop." The eyeliners are $14.50 and it is already sold out on their website, so if you can find it at a MAC Pro Store or a MAC counter, pick it up for that little extra something. Currently I am just applying it to the waterline and bottom lashline only with a more neutral eye color on top in order to allow the intense green to be the center attraction.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVh1KhWoV_u0kSWo1GQxsdYct9bS7VDe6v8KRbAkLlPrb7mIshQMdr_8dqojo4KlgYims7Opm1S1EZ6AYg00Tfq_tCLcpT3lETJpsOvUwdPzcmQ9z-FRBKLS6CxtZ0UKxiSWHyY5muFw/s1600/Easter+034.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVh1KhWoV_u0kSWo1GQxsdYct9bS7VDe6v8KRbAkLlPrb7mIshQMdr_8dqojo4KlgYims7Opm1S1EZ6AYg00Tfq_tCLcpT3lETJpsOvUwdPzcmQ9z-FRBKLS6CxtZ0UKxiSWHyY5muFw/s320/Easter+034.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458212841806196098" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8ztPwamU18f6FO_K65kUHkUWgRxor9wAghpPMveG5PW298r0fckT2TbM6CLKGPs2wg06Ehv2Rro6RLZeFiaxHjvYBwYxwlH4CuQYO3efEBcr1Hhgm4NZKfAMExwvvp9-_BM5v46Wcg/s1600/Easter+037.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8ztPwamU18f6FO_K65kUHkUWgRxor9wAghpPMveG5PW298r0fckT2TbM6CLKGPs2wg06Ehv2Rro6RLZeFiaxHjvYBwYxwlH4CuQYO3efEBcr1Hhgm4NZKfAMExwvvp9-_BM5v46Wcg/s320/Easter+037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458213432370105474" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzXM_8_0s8XHahJhmhCwNkBJZxHLL_MSznzLSQON4oapIl8mxjsJ-3IQ1vUVPxCLKbpwZR4zHnAqr3JNPZWQNtHltuHaug8iQ0k9nc5xzrb5qnwJtfLTC6iloOfnVxasj6MUb6lPFgg/s1600/Blog+008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzXM_8_0s8XHahJhmhCwNkBJZxHLL_MSznzLSQON4oapIl8mxjsJ-3IQ1vUVPxCLKbpwZR4zHnAqr3JNPZWQNtHltuHaug8iQ0k9nc5xzrb5qnwJtfLTC6iloOfnVxasj6MUb6lPFgg/s320/Blog+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458220866903426338" /></a>emoney429http://www.blogger.com/profile/00800011386916689795noreply@blogger.com0
