Hello all fellow shopaholics! Tomorrow is (as we all know) Black Friday! Here are a few tips to help you survive the crowds.
1. Look good, but be comfortable! Wear flats, not heels and make sure to a wear comfy top and jeans.
2. Forgo the jacket unless you live in an are where it is particularly cold. You most likely wish you didn't bring it.
3. If you must bring a jacket, also bring a large pre-used or eco-friendly shopping bag, to put the coat/ jacket in once you are warmed up in the stores. It's easier to sling the bag over your arm... Nothing like holding a bulky jacket to slow you down!
4. Bring a smaller wallet, and a downsized makeup bag. Save room in you hand bag for a bottle of water and breakfast bar or two. No time to stop for breakfast! You have sales to hit!
5. And finally...Bring some advil or other headache meds. You just might need it!
Good Luck out there, have fun, and shop till you drop!

Shimmer Cube Pallet #06
Hooray for Thanksgiving! It's almost here. As the holidays are fast approaching, my life becomes busier and busier. I have to balance my time between family, work and school. So, that means I have less time to everything else in the day. That also means, I usually use the same quick look everyday, just to make life more convenient. This brings us to the reason for this post. The eyeshadow pallet I have been using almost daily for the past fewweeks is the Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Pallet #06.
New Lush Favorite!
A few days ago I popped into Lush to buy a few goodies for a friend's birthday. While there, I picked up a few things for myself.
I purchased a sugar scrub, bath bomb, and soap (the profits from the soap go to charity). All of them are great, but the best part is the Massage Bar (in the tin on the left). It is a solid moisturizer bar, which melts on contact with warm skin. I love this concept too because it doesn't seem like you can use too much (like with liquid lotions)... and it melts right into the skin. Especially during the cold winter weather, it seems to really help out with dry my skin. Plus, it has a fresh sweet lemon scent which I love. A new love. :)

Fab finds for under 10 bucks!
Hi all! I have discovered some great products which are in stores just in time for the holiday season! The first product I found at Target. The elf Beauty Encyclopedia eye edition is a great value! It's only $5.00. Although the shadows are a bit powdery, they are still really good. You can't beat it for the price. It also comes with one liner, and an applicator brush. While I was at Target I also purchased one of the elf eye brushes for $1.00. I am really impressed with it! (2nd Picture... it's the brush on the top) I've cleaned it now a few times (to test the quality) and there hasn't been much shedding to speak of. A great value!
The Second brush I purchased at CVS. It is the Essence of Beauty Smokey Wide brush. I purchased it after watching LovePeaceandLipGloss' review on your tube. I have to agree with her. It's a great brush! What a great find. I was able to purchase mine for $6.99, and I am very happy I did!
Finally, I found this great eyeshadow pallet at Ulta! It's from Pop Beauty and I got mine for $9.99. The colors in the pallet are really pigmented, and easily blended. I love the packaging as well. It's compact but has enough variety of colors so it is perfect for traveling.
That's all for now! Have a beautiful day!

Mini Mac and CCo Haul
I've been a busy girl lately, but I have had a bit of time to go shopping. Here are a few of the things I of got. I went to my local CCo, and they had one of my favorite MAC blushes, True Romance. It is a light almost doll like pink. I love it! I was so happy :) I also made a stop at the MAC store and got Long Stem Rose Slimshine Lipstick (also a very pink but wearable color) and Shadowy Lady Eye Shadow. I think Shadowy Lady will be a perfect winter smoky eye color.
