Sole Mates!!

Hi there boys and girls!!

In case you hadn't noticed, I, Dyna, am a complete and total shoe-whore. That's right. My name is Dyna and I'm a shoe-hoe!! I love them!!! Specifically, my stilettos!!! What's sexier than a pair of skinny heels with jeans, a skirt, a dress, NOTHING!!! LOL...

A problem that I found myself having is that I would always manage to stride myself right into cracks in the sidewalk...scuffing my lovelies, not cool. Take a look at what I found online...
They are called Sole Mates, and they go right over your heels to keep them from scuffing, and also, to give you a bit more balance. After all, one too many martinis, and those stilettos feel like toothpicks!! Check em out and lemme know how they work for you.

XOXO
-D

By the way, did I tell you that Steve Madden is having a huge sale??? Just in time for the Sole Mates.

Barry M cosmetics...

Hey boys and girls.


So, I was doing my usual youtube.com perusing and I was checking out a look by my girl panacea81 (Laruen Luke). She was doing a look with a fantastically pigmented color by Barry M. Whoa...the colors are fantastic, and the prices are not that bad. Check some of these out...


Bright Blue


Cherry Red


Parrot Green

There are amazing lip paints and glosses, but the pigments and the glitters are what got me. They seem to be located in Europe...but you can of course make online purchases. Check some out and come back and let us know how they work for you!!

XOXO

Kissable Couture Lipgloss Review..

Honesty, Eric and Exposed color swatches.

I ordered lipgloss from a new website..www.kissablecouture.com

I picked up 4 of them... the packaging is so pretty..I purchased Honesty,First Lady,Exposed and Eric.

I will give my most honest opinion.
1. I'm really glad I received a discount on the purchase (I received a 40% discount at the time of purchase)
2. Not a high shine gloss
3. It smells good
4. the packaging..It's a pretty black box with silver writing and a pretty black ribbon
5. I've had drugstore brands that had a longer staying power
6. I had to re-apply more frequently than I have with others.
7. Would I purchase again? To mix with another clear gloss to give it the staying power.
the swatches are above ( I am an HD 177 foundation wearer/ MAC NC 45)

Here's a little cool heat for ya!!!

Another summer look for you...Mac Cool Heat (outer lid) and MAC Sweet Lust (inner Lid)

Featuring MAC Humid!!

Hi Lovelies,

here'a a look I created with Mac Humid (outer lid) NYX Chick (inner lid) and Mac Phloof (under the brow)

I hope you like it...

We've been slippin, so here's a bunch of stuff...

Hey there Jolies!!!

Robin and I have been so busy with trying to manage our budgets and deal with the kiddies that we've been neglectful to our dames and homs (I think that's how you spell men in french...tee hee). So, this blog is chock full of goodies to hopefully make up for our lack of focus...

1) Lip Tars by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (how fitting is that name?!?!)



We found this fabulous lip gloss thanks to Queen of Blending (youtube.com). It may not look like much, but the pigments are to die for!!! OMG, it's ordered, we will be giving our own feedback and a tute on this one soon. Check them out on www.occmakeup.com

2) Sephora.com
They are having a wonderful sale on soooo many items, and there are sooo many fantastic freebies to be had. Check out their Beauty Bonuses Page to find the latest promo codes. My mom also wanted me to mention the $22 Sephora Beauty Palette that she's in love with...



3) SmartBargains.com
I know a lot of people shop Overstock.com, but SmartBargains.com is pretty hot too. I usually flip flop between the two. Today, in honour of Earth Day (make sure you plant a tree, or do some extra recycling), they are offering an additional 22% off. Check out this oversized bath towl and mat set originally over $100!!! What better for those beauty mishaps or cleanups???

4)KIEHL'S
In honour of Earth Day (did you plant your tree yet), Kiehl's is having a benefit auction via ebay for some fantastic items donated by them and some stars (Erykah Badu...Adrian Greinier). Check it out and save your planet!!! Kiehl's Auction

5)
For my Plus Sized lovlies...Avenue is having their swim event plus get free shipping on orders over $75!!
Lane Bryant just sent me my $50 coupon in the mail...so look out for yours (or get it online now) and check out their summer line up at LaneBryant.com Fantastic sale going on!!!

6)6PM.com The shoe spot
Make sure you do random drive-bys or click-bys to this site, they always have designer shoe sales, but they only last a day or so. Today, Bronx Shoes are on sale for $16.95!!!



Yes, I said it...hurry up while your size is still available!!

7) MAC of course
What would a blog be without Makeup Artist Cosmetics??? The have quite a few new campaigns going on. The most recent is A Rose Romance. Lots of fantastic shades to whisk you away to a secret rondesvous!! LOL...



So...girls and boys, this should be more than enough to keep you busy for a moment or two...Come back and tell us about your purchases...flaunt it!!!

Until next time,
XOXO
