not what you're thinking, lol. Last night I stopped by the dollar store for a quick pick me up. Here's what I brought home:
What I thought:
- I'm in love with the e.l.f. gloss. I picked up supermodel which is a coral/peach color. I have fair skin, and this is the perfect amount of tint. It reminds me of my mac lipglass stain, in peach complement. This gets mixed reviews because it is thick, but I love a thick gloss, it hydrates and lasts a long time!
- The sally hansen lip glaze had a couple of problems to start off. Once you screw the lid off, it has a tiny rubber applicator, it was super annoying. I removed that and applied it with my finger. This goes on clear, and I used it before bed. It had a nice taste and I woke up with soft lips, so overall I'm pleased with it.
- The last product is the almay mascara. This is one of those that you twist the lid to customize the amount of volume you get. I like the formula, but the bottle is a major p.i.t.a. ! The volume twist is so close to the lid that you end up twisting the volume while you try and remove the cap. This is probably why a bunch of these ended up in the dollar store. The bottle needs to be revamped.
Just for fun when I got home last night, I gave myself the kate spade mani I've been loving:
I got some more work done on the closet this weekend. I had been storing my scarves and belts in one of those over the door type organizers. Very few of them got worn, because they were all bunched up inside the pockets, so I decided to do something about it!
Here's the scarves; I used tension curtain rods that you can pick up at walmart for a couple of bucks. I've seen other people and stores do it this way, and I really like the way it looks. I was so tempted to donate all the scarves except for my murfee scarves, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Maybe I'll do it one at a time (gives me a reason to buy more murfee scarves!)
This is a pic from the other side:
I still needed a way to store my belts, and I had this guy sitting around so voila! I wrapped them around my mannequin. I'm not much of a belt person, but sometimes I see one that is so cute I can't resist. I start thinking of ways I can become a belt person, but sadly it never happens. I want to spray paint the base of this pink, to jazz it up a little.
And finally I added a blind, to prevent my clothes from being faded by the sun. It's simple, but I want the clothes and accessories to be the standout.
