Cosmetic Lines I cannot bring myself to buy from for various reasons..

It's so cheap. 

And that's not a bad thing at all.

But there is something my mother would always tell me growing up...

"If it's going to touch your skin or go on your body, it needs to be good quality."

And I just don't feel that's e.l.f. 

They really stepped up their game. 

However, they are still a loss in my book. 

I wish they would improve the packaging of their product.

If it's great on the inside it needs to be great on the outside.

I feel like I am 14 all over again whenever I pull something from Wet N Wild out. 

Not to mention things broke on me a lot so now I own nothing from them.

Talk about OVERRATED.

They have some pretty things I would love to try..but I just cannot bring myself to purchase anything from them.

Youtube/Blogs know nothing else than M.A.C ..at least that's what it feels like.

Anyway, I know I might sound crazy...anyone else have brands that they just "cannot" buy?

Love, M

I am back and here to stay with a Random Haul! Beauty Edition!

New Cosmetics Organization.

Why not make it pretty right?! 

Nelly. Leave in conditioner! I have been looking for this in my city and couldn't find it until a friend got me one from TJ MAXX! :) Who knew? Only $5.99 for a piece of heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aussie Root Lifter! Love the smell and look of the bottle, for some reason reminds of my childhood summers on the beach?

Garnier Tinted Under Eye Concealer.. really works for me... love. 

Clarins Toner Lotion...gentle. Great if you have a break out..just put on cotton ball and hold on area for 

2 minutes. 

Prada Amber Lotion.

Lotion is enough. 

This is strong but I love it in the winter time and I only need a bit.

Benefit Legally Bronze Kit from Sephora. 

Ok. That's it for now. Sorry, I've been gone but please keep in my mind that I do have a full time job that requires a lot of my time. 

Love, M 

At the Lancome Counter...

Things I bought: 

Star Bronzer Natural Glow in 01 Lumiere...$35.00 

Maison Lancome Gentle and Long Lasting Powder Blusher in 01( LIMITED EDITION) ...$40.00

Maison Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow and Liner Pallet in Gris Fatale (LIMITED EDITION... I believe?)...$48.00

Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara in 01 So Black!.... $25.00..

Love everything I got...there was also a free gift but I gave that to my aunt..since I wasn't into it.

The Mascara is BOMB! I heard someone say they didn't like it. But I do... you have to be careful of how you use it. The brush is sort of shaped like a triangle and you use the pointy side to get all the little lashes and the bottom (bigger part) for volume... I do my top and bottom lashes with it and I get DOLL LASHES!

People stopped me at work and were like "I LOVE YOUR EYES...YOUR LASHES!!!"

Ahhhhh never happened before..lol. 

The brozner gives a natural glow but it isn't really the best for contouring.

The blush is very long lasting...a sweet pink..perfect for everyday. 

The eyeshadows are BEAUTIFUL..I want to get more pallets...their color selection is really something.. they know how to put together a pallet that's for sure!

Sorry for my absence...I was traveling...will be here more often... LOVE, M!

Random Summer Favs.

Perrier Sparkling Water... Ice Cold ..totally satisfies my thirst.

Fresh Fruit mixed together... Kiwi and Strawberries..my favorite.

Inexpensive lip glosses from L'oreal... I love putting these on all day.

Victoria Secret Sexy Now Combo...the body mist and shimmering body lotion.. the mist is perfect for everyday and the shimmering body lotion is great for tan legs. 

Colorful Roxy Flip Flops..perfect for the pool...

Starbucks Ice Cream in Coffee...

HEAVEN!!!! 

What are your Summer Favs?

Love, M

InnOUTS: The MOFO Feathers...

Here we go...

Yes, I am saying it...or typing it..whatever.

These feather extensions or hair clip shit things whatever you wanna call 'em are so OUT!

And 75% of the reason for this being out in my book is because everyone is jumping on the bandwagon... even though 99.9% of you cannot pull this off if your life depended on it (me included).

The other 25% of the reason for this being out is because it just gives us reasons to be even more FAKE and even more WORRY about shit falling off our BODIES...(fake nails, fake hair, fake feathers) 

Can you imagine what GUYS think of this?

I just picture a girl putting this in her hair and feeling all confident and sexy edgy and what not and the guy showing up and simply saying..."What the FUCK is that in your hair?"

Save yourself the embarrassment and the money. 

Oh, and yes this actually costs money! I forgot to tell ya'll...

somewhere out there is some dude or girl sitting on bank loads of money laughing at people who are buying feather their hair pieces for fucking $50.00!!! 

K. I was nasty. This was nasty. But It had to be done.

I am sorry. 

:) 

Iloveyou.

Celebrity Outs....Not Newsworthy

Look, I am sure the movie is "great" and "really funny" and "super cute", but does it REALLY have to be advertised so damn heavily that I have no fucking clue what the fuck else is coming out? 

JLO and Marc are breaking up. I didn't see that coming *rolls eyes*...but seriously People Magazine? 

4/5 of your top stories are about them... have you ever heard of condensing? or is there REALLY nothing else going on in the world? 

I mean I love celebrity gossip once in a while so I just had to point this out...

Yes, Pairs Hilton... take a time out and throw a fit because guess what? 

You are a HAS BEEN! 

And the fact that you purposely created an "airhead" version of yourself for TV just demeans the female race further. Thanks. 

 Hugh on not marrying some blonde desperate money greedy bimbo.. uh no I am pretty sure SHE missed a bullet. 

Why is this news? 

Uh.. done ya'lls I just had to..lol forgive me!

Love!
