Now when someone tells you they're going to wash your mouth out with soap it won't be so bad! I received some of these yummy dessert soaps form Soap Cafe as an early anti- Valentine's Day gift from one of my good friends. Although they smell absolutely divine, (those doughnut soaps would make Homer Simpson drool!) try to resist taking a bite because they really will; make your dirty mouth clean.

I have recently really gotten in to headbands again, but i hate trying to find ones that i like at the store because it's like they make those things for baby heads or something what-ev-a!
I'm a huge Etsy fan and I recently found these and LOVES them :)

They're awesome and they don't squeeze.

When I saw this "Animals with Eyepatches! Yes!" Tee by Threadless T-shirts I couldn't stop laughing! One of my occupational homies has a Pug with one eye and now I totally know what she's getting next Christmas.

I love these shirts, comfy & witty :)

( here's where the sad music starts playing like on a very special episode of The Brady Bunch where Cindy finds out that there really is no Santa Claus)
I started this blog because I wanted o give honest reviews about products out there that I have actually tried. Although I wish I could say that I love everything, there are those products that are so disappointing they get the eye roll they deserve before they are thrown under the sink to live in shame.
OK so here's the poop...Is it really all that bad? I'll give it a meh.
First of all it looks so nice and creamy when it comes out of the bottle but good luck trying to smooth the foundation all over your face. I don't know if there is some sort of weird chemical reaction when it touches skin but as soon as you apply it to your face it turns in to what I can only describe as "putty". It is suggested that you first apply the face lotion that they provide but that too evaporates as soon as it comes in contact with skin. On the infomercial they show women with horrible skin conditions such as severe rosatia, scaring, acne etc...whose complexions became instantly flawless with the application of Dermacia. My skin is far from perfect, but it's not THAT bad and I was annoyed when I found that Dermacia couldn't even cover a tiny little blemish.
So I contacted customer service to tell them of my woes and they suggested that I try applying the product in LAYERS! Are you kidding me?
So, being the optimist, I tired it and it was like I had covered my face in cake icing. The feel was so heavy and uncomfortable I washed it off after 15 minutes.
Sorry Dermacia but you get the pout!
**EDIT** Oh yeah it really is waterproof, good luck trying to wash it off sucka' !

I got this great face scrub recipe from my friend's mom and I have tried it a few times and really liked the results. I was thinking of whipping up a batch tonight and so I thought I would also pass along the recipe for those girls who are brave enough to try some homemade beauty.

OK so I just have to say I love this stuff! I don't know how I ever lived without it. I have chronic headaches & migraines and after having the "Tylenol is not candy" discussion with my doctor yet again, one day he suggested I try "Head On". I have seen a lot of skeptical reviews out there about this product stating that it's basically just "wax" or that there is "no scientific data to support..." blah blah blah. All I know is that is works and I don't care if it is made from the tears of orphan children, I love it!!! (ok that was mean) It doesn't always make the headache go completely away, but it makes it so my eyeball doesn't feel like it's going to shoot out of my head and that, as Martha Stewart would say, is a good thing :)

I found this totally freakin' sweet lip gloss from Go Light My Lips the other day and I have to say... LOVES IT!
Is it the best lip gloss I've ever used? Nah, but who cares! It has this neat little light thingy in the lid and a mirror on the bottle. Just imagine yourself out on the town with the gals and you spot a cute boy at 2 o'clock. You can swipe a little gloss on your kisser (and check to see if you have anything gross in you teeth) and go flirt! Woot!
OH and I forgot the coolest thing of all, when ordering you can choose to customize the outside by having it monogrammed or adding a little bling. How awesome is that :)

Ok so I'll never be known for subtlety. I found these cute little cosmetics by e.l.f. at my local Target the other day and I thought I'd write a little blurb about them since they were a pretty good find for the price. Shown here are the Blush Set ( 4 blushes & a brush for just $5!) and the Brightening Eye Widener. Apparently you can purchase everything from this company for just $1! and no that's not a typo. Although I found their lip gloss to be a little too dark when you're looking for just a hint of color on your kisser and I highly recommend purchasing a concealer/foundation that is the next shade darker than what you would normally order, all in all the products are nice for the price. I love highly pigmented eyeshadow (you'll find that I will allude to my shadow addiction all throughout this blog) and I was not disappointed.
I have unfortunately heard a lot of negative reviews about ordering online from the store, but I have to say that I did not have a negative experience. I placed my order and about a week later I got my stuff. Is it the best make-up in the world?... it's alright, but it's fun and only $1 so really how can you go wrong?
