What person in the world is able to walk into Target and only purchase one item? Exactly, no one is. I took the trip with my cleaning supply list in mind and of course left with all of these cute finds. Boots, nail polishes & stickers, lip gloss and a wallet. I can’t even imagine what I would have walked out with if the Targets in NY were as big as the ones in Florida.

Revlon Nail Color in Trendy, Maybelline Color Whisper in Coral Ambition, Essie nail color in Snap Happy, Maynelline color show fashion prints in Metal Prisms, Merona zip around coral wallet and Mossimo paka ankle booties.

This is what my wallet looked like after the purchase… just kidding this is the inside of the Merona wallet.

Now for my beloved Rite Aid purchases. I don’t believe there are Rite Aid’s in Florida so HA! Beat you guys there! Sorry Ari. They ALWAYS have the best sales. This time around I snagged a 40% off all of the Revlon products and a BOGO (buy one get one half off) sale on the Organix brands. The other items were regular price. I cannot wait to try the Kate Moss by Rimmel lipstick as well as the Physicians Formula natural nudes.

Organix Biotin & Collagin Shampoo & Conditioner (for full and thick hair) Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Warm Beige, Revlon Photoready BB cream, Physicians Formula Natural Nude eyeshadow palette and the Kate spade edition lipstick by Rimmel # 110.

Here’s a tip: Check your weekly circulars for great discounts on all of your beauty products at your local pharmacy.

Hey Guys! Winters in New York City are cold, snowy, dreary and dark so what better way to spruce up a winter day than with a nice pop of spring color! So, with that being said I went on a “I need the new Maybelline color sensational vivids hunt” which not so coincidently live up to their names. I managed to find my top four favorite colors (after trekking it through heaping mountains of snow, just kidding but I did go into a few different pharmacies to find the shades I wanted). Well, here they are: Shocking Coral, Vibrant Mandarin, Vivid Rose and last but certainly not least Brazen Berry. These colors are amazing! The texture of this line glides on smoothly and does not give you that “I have on a pound of lipstick” sensation. My two best words to describe them would be light and creamy, however they remain intensely pigmented. Below you will find hand and lip swatches with and without flash. Ok, Without further adieu,here go the pictures of these gorgeous colors.

Stay Warm Friends,
