Hello Kitty!!!

Enter to win a grand prize from MAC Hello Kitty Collection!!

What's the latest in inexpensive cosmetics??

Hey girls...and boys. The answer to the question is Jesse's Girl.

No, it's not brand new, but it is to some. Robin picked up a couple of the Sparkling Eye Dusts from her local drug store a couple of months ago. She was completely blown away...she actually compared them to MAC's pigments. Can you imagine? Me either. One of her earlier looks was actually done with Jesse's Girl. Check out the post entitled " ".

So...here is their product line-up for eyes:

Eye Dust - 21 shades available. Were alone for light coverage, or add water or mixing medium for more dramatic coloring!!


Eye Lites - 15 shades of liquid shadow availible in glitter and creme formulas.


Single Pan Shadows - 5 sumptuous colors availble.


Creme Eye Shadows - 6 creme smooth on colors available.


Eye Liners - available in 7 glitters and 8 khol formulas.



Tri-Shadows - 3 gorgeous colors in one, available in 5 tri-color compacts.


Bulls-eye Shadows - 3 coordinated colors in one, 5 shades available.


Sooo...we just placed a big order for most of the items above. Come back and check for some looks. We're working on a retail agreement with Jesse's Girl, so look for her on our ebay page!!!

Nine West Warrior Sandals!!

Hey girls...and boys!!

So, if you're like me, you love shoes...sandals, high heels, cute espadrilles, boots, just the whole gamut. If you're even more like me, you have a big, fat foot!! I wear a size 10 wide. That's nearly impossible to find, so I usually try to settle for an 11, and swim a little. It's good for comfort as well, if I'm going to be out all day (swelling is not cute). Nine West is one of the select few that offer a 10 1/2, which is usually perfect for me. If you have a moment, take a look at their new Warrior Sandal!



How freaking adorable is that?!? Purse isn't half bad either, right?

Can't you see yourself on the sidelines in your gold lame toga and these fabulous duds...just waiting for your beau, Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions (better known as Russell Crowe from Gladiator) to whip someones butt and whisk you away to some wheat field for a frolic?



LOL...yes, I have issues...but seriously, check out ninewest.com. They've got it goin' on. Jamil and Kentaro listed below are both under $100 bucks and are available from a cute little women's size 5 all the way up to a women's size 12 (that's a men's 10 for you sexy boys that gotta have em'). What are you waiting on?? Get ta' shoppin'!!






Til' next time my loves...

A couple of insider tips...

Hey girls...and boys!!

So...as I am sure you can guess, Robin and I went to the mall this weekend...yes to the MAC counter at our local Nordstrom. And to our sheer surprise...as we descended the escalator...HELLO KITTY WAS THERE!!!! OMG!! Who knew??? Of course we went crazy...between the two of us, we are out of at least $450. That's easy at MAC, right? So...run out to your local MAC location, or call to verify, Miss Kitty may have made an early surprise visit. As you know, she will fly off the shelves. There were a couple of lip shades that were already sold out when we got there.

*****UPDATE 2/10...MISS KITTY IS ONLINE @ MACCOSMETICS.COM!!*****





BTW...I just found out something new as I googled the elusive 214 MAC smudge brush (which I found...that info to follow), I found our that Nordstrom sells MAC online...imagine...also...guess who's there??? Miss Kitty....hurry!!!!

Now, on to that dang smudge brush!!
We've been to the MAC counter, to maccosmetics.com, and of course to my new found nordstom.com. No freaking 214 brush. I've gone to ebay...of course they want a million bucks for it (ok...$30) plus shipping, and to two of our favorite private online sellers (we'll share that info later), and to another of our favorite sites...specktra.net (for MAC junkies). NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH...What the heck is it about this dang brush that has it flying off the shelves???? Not sure, but I will let you know, because I found it. Ready for the locale?



Dillards.com!!! Who knew that the department stores had contracts with MAC to sell online? We've learned something new kiddies!!! When your favorite MAC item is sold out online, and in stores, check nordstrom.com and dillards.com. If I find any other sites, I'll be sure to post.

Happy shopping!!

Bare Escentuals Buxom Betty

Hi girls...and boys, Robin and I were out at the mall last weekend, and stopped by Sephora. I had gotten their latest mailer, and was really excited about Buxom Betty by Bare Escentuals. It's an adorable little 'all you need' kit for a sexy 'Betty' look. The kit contains 7 mini products to enhance your sexy.

- Clear Radiance All-Over face color
- Silk Stockings Eyecolor
- Stilettos Liner Shadow
- Big Tease Mascara in Blackest Black
- Big & Healthy Lip Polish
- Feather light Brush
- Contour & Detail brush

It's absolutely adorable!! It's an easy, toss in your purse and go item.



And at $42, it was a steal for a complete look!! I'll post it for you as soon as I've completed it...

XOXO
-D

***UPDATE****
Ladies and germs, as you well know, I am of African-American decent, thus, have dark skin. This set is for those with light skin. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fabulous find, but the all-over Radiance face color is not for all...enjoy kiddies!!!

Mascara Review

Hey girls...and boys!! I'm a huge mascara junkie!!! It's disgusting. I own over 60 tubes and counting. I know that you are supposed to throw them away monthly, but I have a logical reason as to why I don't. I RARELY use each one. I figure since it's not getting the pumping action and the bacteria from the air, and my eye daily, I should be ok...right? Well, I haven't had any issues yet (don't try this at home kiddies)...so I figure I'm ok. For you though, I would suggest that you toss your mascara after 3 months if you are using it daily (if it lasts you that long).

Anyhoo, here are some of the many mascaras that I own...I've done them on a naked eye, no makeup or powder to add to the fullness effect. Ever think about that? You're coating your lashes with powder from your shadows and from your pressed powders, giving your lashes a preverbial base coat.

Do they do what they claim? We shall see...here we go...enjoy!!!

XOXO
