Friendship Quote of the Week


What a wretched lot of old shrivelled creatures we shall be by-and-by. Never mind--the uglier we get in the eyes of others, the lovelier we shall be to each other; that has always been my firm faith about friendship.

Great Beauty Read: Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual

Hey ladies I got this book a few weeks ago from Chapters. I wanted her most recently that came out that’s on the Sephora site but it was sold out online for me. So I decided I would get this one for now. It has so many great tips and tricks for everything. From choosing the right foundation, to applying concealer and doing eye makeup. I haven’t read it all yet. But so far I’m actually liking it. It’s great for everyone: beginners to pros. I had ordered it online and only paid $23.43 but in store it’s $35.50. I will be looking to buy her newest one when it gets back in stock online.



Till next time!

Swag Shoppin: Aldo Shoes

Hey ladies, so about a month or so ago I picked up 2 pairs of shoes. One is a wedge lace ankle boot and the other is a pair of wedge heels. I have been eyeing them since about the end of summer, early September. But at that time I was saving up for the Venomous Villains collection from MAC. During Thanksgiving, which was back in October, they had both pairs on sale with an extra 30% off so I had to pick them up. The first ones are a taupe color with ruffle detailing on the back. They were originally $90 but I got them for $40. And The other pair is army colored with a buckle detailing on the front. As well it has dark brown accents to it. These were originally $80 and I got it for $32 or so. I love these shoes, I have been wearing them alot this past month. And they are very comfortable.

Swag Shoppin: Maybelline Eye Studio Line

Hey ladies. So a couple of weeks ago I went to Walmart and they had the Maybelline Eyestudio line on sale. Usually they are roughly between $10-$15, well that depends on which store you go to. But at the time they were around $7 and come change so I wanted to try out 2 of the eye shadow quads and a gel liner. The first quad I got was 20 Sapphire Siren; it has a shimmer silvery-white, teal, navy blue and sparkly black color. They are very pretty, I haven’t tried any of these colors yet though. The other quad I got was 90 Irresistibly Ivy. It’s a very neutral palette with one green color as well. I have worn these colors alot lately and they are very pigmented. I actually like them alot. I think that in the future I will be picking up more from this line for the quads. And the last thing is the gel eyeliner in brown. Lately I haven’t been wanting to line my eye with blacktrack fluidline when I wear neutral colors so I thought it would be nice to have a brown one. I didn’t really want to buy another one from MAC so I wanted to give this one a try. I haven’t used it yet but hopefully it works well.

Great Read: Spook Country by William Gibson

Hey a few weeks ago while I was at Chapters, I saw this book on the bargain table for $2. It was originally $32.50 then it was $6.99. So for only $2 it was a great buy. This book has 3 main characters from what I can gather: a journalist that is on an investigation assignment for a magazine that doesn’t exist yet. A young man that lives in a warehouse and does delicate jobs involving information transfers. As well there is a high-end junkie. From reading the inside flap of the book it seems so interesting. I can’t wait to read this book to find out what happens. Hopefully I will finish Them before November is over so I can start reading this one in December.

Great Read: Them by Nathan McCall

Hey so I was at Chapters a couple of weeks ago and I picked up this book: Them by Nathan McCall. It cost me only $2, but originally it was $28.99 then $5.99. It was a great buy. But I haven’t finished it yet but it’s a great read so far. It’s about a African American man who is trying to figure out his life in a downtown Atlanta neighbourhood. It’s very interesting so far. I have only made it to chapter 5 but so far it’s a great read. Once I finish I will come back with my thoughts on this cook.

Till next time!

Swag Shoppin: Crossbody Bag

Hey ladies. So I noticed that alot of cross body bags were hot for the fall and I had seen this one late August or early September. At the time I had seen it I wasn’t really in the mood to spend $35 for it because I knew the Thanksgiving sale for Aldo would be coming up in the next month or so. I’m so happy that I waited because it went on sale for about $16 which was great because it’s so cute. I’m so in love with this bag. I haven’t worn it out yet because I haven’t gone anywhere but work lately but I can’t wear to rock it.

Swag Shoppin: MAC Pro

Hey ladies just stopping by real quick to share with post with you. I picked these up a few weeks ago but I have been slacking on posting. I picked up three pro blushes as well as Fix+.

The first blush is Rhubarb. It’s very bright but deep reddish purple color. This blush is so pigmented. A little goes a long way.

The second blush is Salsarose. It’s a deep red coral color and this one is also very pigmented.

The third blush is Devil. It’s a very orange color. It looks amazing on darker skin tones in my opinion and it looks amazing paired with MAC’s MSF Stereo Rose.







Till next time!

Swag Shoppin: Aldo Sandals

Hey ladies so back in the summer I had seen these sandals and I fell in love. But at that time I was saving up for the MAC Venomous Villains collection so I over looked it and was like maybe it will go on sale around Thanksgiving and I would get a great deal on it. I love buying shoes on sale because I tend to never wear them more than once. These were original $55 and I only paid $25. They are so cute, they will do wonders when I don’t want to wear heels or flats to the clubs. Or with a pair of skinny jeans to school.

Swag Shoppin: MAC Goodbye Items

Hey ladies, a few weeks ago I was on the MAC site and ordered a few things, I picked up a blush and a lipstick. The blush I got was Full Fuchsia. It’s such a bright pink color, almost neon and I’m loving it. I have worn it a few times since getting it and I love it. The lipstick I got was Lovey-Dove Slimshine. I love these lipsticks.

Weight Loss: Day 3

Hey ladies I know I haven't posted in awhile. I haven't been working out as much I hope. Lately I have been doing about 20 minutes a day. Tonight I only did a 5 minute speed walk on the treadmill at the speed 3 and an incline of 15. I was able to burn 85 calories. After that I used the Leg Magic; I did 2 reps of 10. I actually felt the burn for that. And finally I did some lower ab work. I used the exercise machine to it. Hopefully in a couple of days I will take a picture of what I'm doing so I can share with you. But I'm out for the night. I'm hoping to check my weight on either Sunday or Monday. But I have to get up early to work again :)

Goodnight
