Sinful Colors Frenzy Gradient-Nails + Swatches

This is a fun and super easy mani I did over the weekend using a Sinful Colors polish called Frenzy. 

I usually like glitter over a solid polish but after trying this I might just start wearing glitter solo more often...

Check it out and see why...

Organix Acai Berry Avocado Conditioner Review

gud by Burt's Bees Orange Petalooza Review

Good Morning!!

Burt's Bees is a brand I use everyday.  From their famed lip balm to their lotions, I haven't used anything I've been disappointed with.  I love that they're mostly natural and they smell amazing.  When they came out with the gud line I was super excited about one of the scents in particular....Orange Petalooza.  I remember getting all excited when I spotted first at Target.  I snatched up the tester bottle of body lotion, opened it , and took a whiff all the while praying that it smelled like orange blossoms and guess what?...

Franken-Friday!!

Good Morning Star Shine, The Earth Says 'Hello'!!

Haul-Time!! Dollar Tree Style

I love the Dollar Tree.  I'm forever finding awesome deals in there as far as polish and cosmetics go.  It's the perfect place for a budget conscious babe, like myself, to find an assortment of beauty implements too...cotton balls, makeup remover wipes, nail clippers, tweezers....oh the list goes on and on. 

I have a few rules about cosmetics from dollar stores in general...These are my rules you don't have to adhere to them but this is what I avoid cosmetic wise...

Mascara, it gets dried out and clumpy over time, and that's pretty much it.  Sometimes I'm if-y about gloss and lipstick, but not usually.  A good rule of thumb is if you have to question it, leave it.  If it looks re-sealed or opened, leave it.  Let your eyes be your guide.  Common sense.

Now, wait til you see what I found at the Dollar Tree a couple of weeks ago...

Sinful Neons Swatch-fest!!

Here are three neons for you today from Sinful Colors new Make Some Noise display.  I know for sure that 2 of these are from Sinful's core line and the other I'm pretty sure is a re-promote but I'm not 100%.  They are bright, bold, and blindingly beautiful nonetheless.  Take a look and see what I mean...

eos Shave Cream Review

I've been using this shaving cream for about a month now and I'd like to share my thoughts...

Spoiled by Wet-N-Wild Swatch and Review

Spoiled is a fairly recent line produced by Wet-N-Wild.  I don't have many of their shades which is surprising to me because they retail for $1.99.  They are exclusive to CVS as far as I can tell and they come in a ton of on trend shades.  The fact that they are exclusive to CVS is probably why I don't have many.  I don't frequent CVS as much as Rite-Aid or Walgreens...don't know why that is.  I swear the manager at Rite-Aid must think I'm loopy.  I'm in there so often I can hardly look him the eyes anymore...I suppose many of us with the same cosmetic obsession/affliction suffer from this side affect.  Sigh... No matter, on with the swatch and review of a really beautiful shade....

'Read Between the Lines' Mani

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Polish Strips...On Clearance!!! + Swatches (Very Pic Heavy)

In the past couple of weeks I have spotted some amazing deals, one of which I am going to fill you in on now...

This past week-end I went in to K-Mart because they are having a sale on Jordana cosmetics.  It's buy one get one 50% off.  (Sale is good through Saturday 4/28/12) I picked up a couple of their polishes and they're great but that's not what I'm so excited about...

Walgreens mini-Haul

Today's post is for all you Sinful Colors lovers out there.  Honestly sometimes the formula disappoints me with this brand but when I look at my ever growing nail polish collection it leaves little room to debate what my favorite drugstore brand is.  The colors are amazing and Sinful definitely knows how to do a decent glass flecked polish.

 

Hello Beautiful People...

Here, I am known as T.  I'm new to 'beauty blogging' but beauty products are old hat for me, especially when it comes to getting them for less! 

The title, Champagne Taste...Beer Pocketbook describes many of us today.  We all want, at times, things that we can't afford...but, there's a silver lining on every cloud.  Drug store beauty products have come a long way in the past decade, with shades and collections created by or inspired by celebrities and famous designers it really is possible to have the look for less.
