pleased and thank you

so it's lent and i gave up buying myself stuff

i've done well and it isn't easy.

i've also cheated a couple (few, several) times 

but overall i have cut back on stoop purchases which is my purpose

naturally. sephora would send a 15% off coupon this time,

and after talking it over with God, 

we decided it would be ok to make one purchase

i went to the jcpenney sephora with a nars "the multiple" in mind

and decided against it for a multiple of reasons, lol,

- i have a bunch of free sample highlighters already

- i am prone to breakouts at least monthly 

and highlighting them is not something i want to do

- $39

- the testers were really smudged and nasty; 

two of them out of eight or ten were not even available for testing 

- upon testing, my face did not look like kate bosworth's and she swears by these

instead i meandered to the josie maran shelves and took a gander,

came across this "argan infinity lip and cheek creamy oil" for $18

background info:

i am into the color of benetint, it suits me,

but putting benetint on my lips does nothing really,

and the benetint balm (apparently discontinued)

 is almost perfect, albeit too sheer

this lip color by josie maran in boundless berry is perfect.

repeat, perfect.

it is everything i know benetint could be.

i am very pleased.

wore it all day at work two days in a row 

and upon exiting my room to check patients out at the front desk

and to check myself out in the full length mirror directly outside my room

i was happy to see it had stayed put and did not need hourly reapplications,

plus i did dab a little from my lips to my cheeks 

and it creates a natural, dewy, flushed look - very kate bosworthy

there other colors and i am interested in the "always cherry"

i will be purchasing after easter as a late birthday present for myself.

i did a good job not buying both with the 15% off coupon because it was lent!

i held back and only let myself buy one although i could have easily purchased both.

-- yes i have been taking prenatal vitamins because they were on sale! --

deathpaste

...and we thought only pop tarts could turn to deathpaste...

think again

when i asked the twins to (please) get my computer for me today

they asked me "why do you need it"

and i told them i needed to do some research on the mascara i had just bought

bella/chelo asked "do you like it"

my reply: "no, it's like deathpaste on my eyelashes and i can't get it off,

even when i washed my face last night it was still on, and i'm not about to scrape

at my eyelashes and risk pulling them out"

that's my review, 

this deathpaste/mascara has a great mexican soap opera commercial 

starring sofia vergara that made me lol

but i think i'm gonna pull an annoying cvs customer and take it back stat

now, where did i put that receipt?

2012 is here.

hokay, so...

remember last year when i made fun of resolutions?

this year i actually have list of them

1. drink water, take a daily multivitamin

2 thru 9. nunya beeswax 

considering that i am graduating from college in 4 months

oh cräp

i will be needing all the water and vitamins i can get
as i look for a job and pay off some $eriou$ loan$

in fact, as i type up this rambling post

 i am drinking h2o and preparing to choke on a fat woman's one-a-day

on another, completely unrelated note,

i strongly recommend this

it's great and i dig the packaging

1924
yet another blog to waste time on
