Current Nail Color: Revlon's Perplex

OMG, I can honestly say that I had a hard time looking for this!!! I think I went to every drugstore around my job and my neighborhood, until I found the display at a Rite Aid by my son's daycare. They say that this is a cheap Dupe for "Chanel's Paradoxal" and it is very similar. 



Perplex is a described as a purple with grey undertones and it's the perfect fall/winter color. My sister and niece saw my manicure and begged me to get them each one. Now I have to pray that I find at least 2 bottles again! lol

My Perfect Imperfections *TAG*

I generally don't do Tag's, I prefer to watch them. But, since I was tagged I said why not! I opted to write it out instead of making a video...sorry, but my son doesn't give me much free time...lol.

THE TAG: 
Share 3 physical things that you dislike about yourself or feel are imperfect & 3 physically 
things you like about yourself or feel are perfect. The point of this tag isn't to look for pity 
or compliments, it's just to show that we are all human that have things that 
we like/dislike about ourselves.


My "Imperfections"

1.  My Tummy...I had my son 2 years ago, and after having a c-section it leaves a pooch that is not quite desirable. I just wish I could "snap" my fingers and go back to my H.S. weight! lol

2.  My Skin...Lately my face has been breaking out badly and everything I try doesn't seem to work. 
I guess I need to change my eating habits and start eating healthy again. I also, 
have Eczema and this winter it has been the worst!

3.  My Eyes....I kinda hate the fact that without my glasses, I'm blind as a bat! I have opted for
contacts, but most bother and dry out my eyes so I just stick to glasses for now. 
(Kinda wish I had 20/20 vision...sighhh)


My "Perfections"

1.  My Hair...it's the easiest thing to manage, ever since High School everyone always envied
my hair (especially my sisters)  and would literally stroke it all day long. lol

2.  My Smile...even though I always have a serious face, when I smile I get lot's of compliments. 
I guess I need to smile a little more often. ☺

3.  My Eyebrows...when they are on point, which is usually after threading! 


~So feel free to "TAG" yourselves, I would love to hear what are you girl's Imperfection/Perfections!~

Haul: Yes to Tomatoes

I was recommended this a while back by a blogger named Tammy...hey girl!!! I always kept eyeing it every time I was at Rite Aid and this time I decided to finally get it. 


yes to tomatoes

KIT CONTENTS:
• Yes To Tomatoes Facial Wash - 100ml/3.38 fl. oz 
• Yes To Tomatoes Facial Hydrating Lotion - 50ml/1.7 fl. oz. 
• Yes To Tomatoes Facial Mask - 30ml/1.01 fl. oz
• Yes To! Spa headband

 This is for Oily-Combination skin, with frequent breakouts. It doesn't at all smell like tomatoes, to me it smells sweet like watermelon. One thing I can say is that it does leave your face shine free all day. Since, this is all natural I am hoping I get better results!

Carmex Healing Lotion

Suffering from dry itchy skin in the winter is no joke! I have tried everything and there is only one thing that seems to work, but it gets a little to expensive from time to time. I recently saw this featured in a few blogs and decided to give it a try, especially since it's made by the well known brand Carmex. Carmex released to products called Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream


Retails for $5.99 at Walgreens
  • Use anywhere skin feels dry
  • Daily use will help protect skin and keep dryness away
  • Rich healing ingredients, including Aloe and Vitamin E, nourish and moisturize skin
  • Absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel; has a light, pleasant scent
This actually did a pretty good job of soothing my skin. Especially at night is when it's the most irritated and I feel like scratching my skin off...yea it's that bad! The formula is exactly as described on the bottle, non-greasy and it smells just like the lip balm. The only con is that it's only available at Walgreens at the moment, but you can go HERE to get a $2.00 off coupon.

NIVEA a kiss of Milk & Honey

I have a slight obsession with lip balms, especially during the Fall/Winter seasons. You can find at least 3 in my purse, I don't know what it is but I always seems to get a new one every few weeks....lol. Everyone keeps raving about the new lip balm by Nivea called A Kiss of Milk & Honey. It resembles the Kiss of Moisture one, (blue packaging) except for the fact that this one is yellow and has little bees on it....which I think is cute.

Retails for $2.99 (depending where you buy it)

Here is how it is described on the NIVEA site:
The pampering formula, enriched with some of nature's best remedies, strengthens and moisturizes lips to help boost lips natural defenses. Lips are soothed and feel naturally healthy, hydrated, and soft.
  • Soothing formula boosts lip’s natural defenses
  • Intensively moisturizes so lips can stay healthy & hydrated 
  • With natural Milk Protein & rich Golden Honey
Overall: 
I would purchase this again! I really love the smell and how smooth and moisturized it leaves my lips feeling. I find myself reaching for this all day long.

Nook for SALE!!!

I'm selling a *wifi* Barnes and Noble Nook that is used, but in great condition. No charger is available and I'm selling it with the leather case. I'm asking for $100...let me know if anyone is interested.

Flowerbomb Travel Duo

I recently picked this up at the friend's and family sale that Sephora was having the other day. I had a sample of this and I fell in love with the scent. I love fragrances that are soft and not too overbearing, I mostly wear flowery one like Daisy (Marc Jacobs), Flora (Gucci) and  The Beat (Burberry)...(ugh disllike old lady scents!!!). 



Flowerbomb Travel Duo $29
This floral explosion releases a profusion of flowers that has the power to make everything seem more positive. Magically evocative notes immediately awaken your deepest senses, giving you the impression of living life in your own secret garden, away from reality. Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, and Ballerina Freesia bloom on a base of Patchouli.

This set contains:
- 0.25 oz Eau de Parfum
- 0.5 oz Eau de Parfum Refill
- Funnel 

Notes:Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli.
Style:Oriental. Gourmand. Floral.


However, the bottle is very small and does not have a spray. But, it can fit in your handbag and it comes with a big enough size refill bottle. You just have to be a little careful when opening it because the contents might spill out. 

What are fragrances are you currently into?
