It's a lime green kinda thing

It's been about a month since I hit the clubs so I was definitely ready to dance my ass off. I decided to wear my new shoes that night (the spiky black ones) which wasn't a great idea, but I got myself a pair of the Dr. Scholls gel inserts which was a total life saver (see bottom of post)

top: wet seal, skirt: F21
It looks like my blush is muddy and unblended in the lower left hand of this pic, but it's just a shadow.
lid: Wet n' Wild Brule, outer corner & slightly in the crease: MAC Brun, Mascara: L'oreal Extra Collegen, Liner: Prestige waterpoof in black, Brows: Filled in w/ Brun
My ♥
This guy use to play for the Saints. I believe he said he was #11
Face foundation: Maybelline super stay set w/ BE mineral veil, Cheeks: Revlon midnight affair (dc) w/ elf sunkissed bronzer on top. Lips: Maybelline lip stain in the buff w/ clear gloss on top
                                         


These inserts are a must have for sky high heels. I have these in every pair of heels I own. They sell them at Walmart and Walgreens. I payed about $10 for these, but Walgreens has their own brand of them for a few dollars less and they work just as well. They were all sold out of their brand so I got these. 


Has anyone ever tried these inserts? Which ones do you recommend for the Ball of the foot? I'm always looking for the next best thing for my feet :P

Splurge Vs Steal - Spiked Louboutins

My friend called me over the weekend to go shoe shopping with her on Magazine St. One of our favorite shoe stores, Shoe Nami, was having a huge sale. The whole store was $19.99 or less!

So, on to the Spluge VS Steal. Many of us know and love the spiked Louboutins that Kim K, Lindsay Lohan and other celebs wear. 
At $775.00, they are definitely a splurge.  Check out the shoes I found below at Shoe Nami!


I got these for only $19.99! I wanted the nude pair, but they didn't have any of those. I love slingbacks b/c they are the most comfortable heel for me to wear, and because pumps always slip off my heel. I have an all black pair of slingbacks from Jessica Simpson that I always wear so it will be nice to mix it up a bit with these.



What do you guys think?

Weekend Purchases - Makeup, Clothes, Etc

 I'm completely obsessed with these Monster coffee energy drinks so when I saw them at Big Lots I bought all 17 of them lol. 


My MAC Studio Fix Powder was running low and since I noticed it was starting to break me out I decided to try a new brand. A friend of mine swears why Merle Norman Cosmetics. So I brought in my almost empty MAC powder and they matched me to this one. After I use it for a week I'll do a review on it. 
One shoulder top from Forever21
American Eagle are my favorite jeans and since they were having a sale of $29.99 on all jeans I bought 2 pairs. The first pair and the super low rise Artist faded flares and the second is the super low rise destroyed artist.




I also got a new belly ring

Review ~ Tresemme Freshstart Dry Shampoo

I have pretty thick hair that is mostly on the dry side so I usually only wash my hair every 3 to 4 days.  So when I'm in between washes I like to use a dry shampoo. I've tried the one by Big Sexy Hair and it really is amazing. If hairspray and dry shampoo has a baby together it would be the BSH dry shampoo! It gives your hair a ton of volume and smells great. So, being that the BSH was the only one I've tried, I had high hopes for Tresemme's dry shampoo and in short, I was not that impressed. It does smell great, but as far as getting rid of oily-ness  it does not work well. I get better results and more volume from just using a light dusting of baby powder. Tresemme actually works for immediate results, but within a few hours your hair will look oily again as if you didn't use anything at all. 

Here is my hair unwashed for about 3-4 days
You have to give the can a good shake and spray the roots. Let it set for about 1-2 minutes till it turns white like this. 

Then brush the product through. Sometimes I like to just use my fingers and rub it into my scalp. As you can see it does kind of dull the hair, which in turn makes it look cleaner. One thing to be aware of is if you use too much it will show up a little in flash photography. It won't look white, but your hair will look a little dull. 
Here's the finished look after I fluffed it a bit with my fingers. It's not a bad product if you really just can't wash your hair and you need a quick fix. It definitely makes your hair smell good too. I really like to use this after a night at the club to get rid of that nasty cigarette smell. 

So would I repurchase? Maybe. If I had a coupon or something I think I would;  if for nothing the long last fresh smell.


Have any of you tried this dry shampoo? Which brand would you recommend?

Splurge VS. Steal - Hermes Leather Cuff

I've had my eye on the the Hermes Collier De Chien Cuff Bracelet for as long as I can remember, but like most fancy items I lust after, the price of $795 is just out of my reach.
However, I did find a pretty good imitation for only $46.95! Gennie's Gold Pyramid Studded White Imitation Leather Bracelet

Mail of the Week

Some of you may remember how I entered the Nivea Moment of Closeness photo contest and won but was later disqualified b/c I was not a resident of the UK. Well as a show of good will they said they would send me a goody bag of products and here it is =D

They definitely sent more than I expected, especially since they didn't have to send me anything. Super nice of the PR people there. 
 I can't wait to try these products out and do a review.
Some samples from Aveno, Kotex and Purex. 

These samples are great for traveling. 
My order from Frederick's . Remember how I mentioned how Frederick's has the best bras? Well these where the ones in particular I was referring too. My cup size is a 32D and it's super hard to find that size for some reason. I even emailed VS to see why they don't carry that size and they said that it's not a big seller :(. (My boobs are real by the way, just thought I would throw that out there since a lot of ppl think they are fake lol)

~Summer Bash~ 2011


Every year a bunch of our friends get together and throw a yearly summer bash. We usually boil crabs and have a BBQ, but this year since it was so hot we decided to just do the BBQ. J and a few other friends chip in a little and we purchase food and alcohol. We also get 2 professional bartenders and a Dj to spin at the party too. These parties are always a great success and half the time people we don't even know show up lol.
