Drugstore Beauty Haul

We read the @allure beauty list of all the top drug store cosmetics and figured why not give it a try.

Besides we do a lot of blending of colors with lips and eye shadow so here's what we got:

Rimmel London- Extra Thick Eyeliner
If you want super thick cat eyes this is the color.

Shea Moisturizer Lip Gloss
We have it in Orange with our blending of a little pigment looks great with a bronzer.

Cover Girl
Queen in a deep berry is the same as Trish McCovy matte berry stain.

Our trusted Lava Lip in rich red almost with Maybelline true Red Matte is amazing.

Nails
Very important, the guy at Target said his mother told him to always check out a young women's nails, if they are chipped or not polished don't mess with her.

We got :
Rapshody Red from Sally Hensen's gel line.
Terra Cotta also from their gel line.
Pink Sliver nail polish from a unknown brand.
Christmas Green and Sliver Sparkles for your friends annual Ugly Sweater Party.

General rules of safety for buying at drug stores:
1. Never buy anything on clearance, it is seasonal stuff that is chemically breaking down, especially if it's organic then the chemical break down is faster because there are no preservatives.

2. Always look for the safety seal on all cosmetics.

3. Buy from quality lines such as Cover Girl, Maybelline, Loreal, Revlon, and Physicians Formula anything else, we don't recommend.

But as for skin care and foundation, go to the department stores for quality brands.

Cheers to looking fab on a dime!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and description, just

Men's Grooming : Luxury

NYFW Men is literally right in three weeks,  so how does a male model keep his hair camera ready? We did some research on the best products that would keep a man 's hair camera ready. Julien Farel Salon This salon has the best anti aging haircare products for men. They also do all of the models for the Nick Graham Show. Those models are the best! Martial Vivot We came across this salon on the side of MOMA in June for the annual French Wink   Father's Day Event. This salon has the best hair care products in terms of being all natural. The manager explained to me  mass market products are okay, but as a man ages the harshness of the products causes premature hair loss. Wow! Who knew... They also sell their products at Barney 's, in addition to the salon. John Allen Salons They have the coolest vibe in Saks,  in terms of high profile salon. To get that ultimate surfer look the pomade is amazing with out being heavy or greasy. For luxury hair care service and products,
