Boy, oh boy has it been it while.

Its finally way past over Holidays and work is calming down.  I have been finally sleeping early thanks to a little game called candy crush (thats a whole other blog for that).  Well Today I have recent haul from Rite Aid.

 Being that I live in one of the most expensive cities and saving to buy a house somethings I want/need are a second priority.  Well Rite Aid had a sale and I just had to go, because I had coupons ( yes I am a couponer, while not an extreme one because California has laws against it) but im always searching for the best deals.  Rite Aid had a 40% sale and I had collected 10 $1.00 off coupons. so I saved 70% on the products purchased.  I was so happy that I finally hit a % mark of my usual 20-30%. I was extremely happy with that.

Heres a quick pic of what I got.

Now I also got a couple of other things from Maybelline that where also on sale.

I got the maybelline The vivids collection and Color whispers.
heres a picture of swatches of the lip products I purchased

If you would like to see more here is a video.

Thanks

Dino Lingo on YouTube.

Just finish watching the Dino Lingo Langauge Learning DVD's Its a really nice learning DVD for children.  It is available in different languages (French, Italian, Spanish,...) I tried out the French one, and although I do not have children yet or anytime soon.  I did learn a thing or two.  How to say cat, dog, bird, fish, one two.  I would invest in something like this, or buy it as a gift for my niece and nephews.

Influenster College VoxBox 2012 NOT SO imPRESSed on!

So today I finally got my influenster College VoxBox 2012.  I was not sure why I was chosen for this box being that I did not finish my college schooling (hopefully I will go back soon).  Never the less I am grateful that I was chosen for this all Free box with full sized samples. That you dont have to pay for like other monthly subscriptions boxes that dont send full sized items. Well here go my reviews. I do like the Necco wafers I loved them as a kid, love them more now that they have fruity flavors. The NYC eyeliner does smooth on pretty nice and easy the color is strong but it does not last and it smudges.  The glitter is a nice effect to it, but cant say I really love it because I do have allergy in my eyes and glitter will make it worse. I can't say anything bad about the Pentel R.S.V.P. pen I love pens and who doesn't like a free one.  Fourth item in my box were some energy sheets, and I dont normally use energy drinks/pills/sheets. I have enough energy as it is.  I will give one a try just to see how they are (but will end up giving them away).  And last but not least is my final item and something I am not imPressed on by at all it is the imPRESS on manicure nails. The reason being that I dont like them is that the nails are to small and do not fit y huge nail beds. They do have nice colors and designs but they are not made for me.  All in all I do like the Influenster VOXBOX it is a cool website.  All you have to do is sign up and review, review, review items on the webpage.  They you get picked for a box and fill in a survey if you get picked then you get a box in about 1-2 weeks.


Thanks

Getting into the MakeUp Scene!!!

All this time it took me so long.... I always had the means to become a blogger/beauty Guru on Youtube... But it was my confidence that kept me down. That long other things. It is my time now so I am going to give it a shot.  I have seen so many Beauty Bloggers/Guros that are like me a bitt bigger or with problems such as (hyper hydorsis) first time I am talking about it publicly and I still CRINGE just thinking that I am saying it out loud... But it is time for me to let go of that and accept who I am...
