"where one door closes another one opens" -alexander graham bell

i'm really not sure as to how many of you buy cosmetics from the body shop, but i never did.  and i probably never would have if i didn't take notice to the "closing --50% off entire store" sign.  unfortunately, by the time i went in there the selection was very slim.  there was barely anything there!   the plan was to sample these few items and then go back in and purchase more (with satisfaction of course).  but they closed the store down on the 24th so that plan is a wrap!

 all in all.... i got 3 eye shadows, 2 lipsticks, and a liquid foundation.

so here are what the shadows look like...

the lipsticks...

and the foundation...

review by request only...

thanks lovies and if you're ever in the freehold, nj mall check them out before they close.

all black everything...

hey loves!

so i went on a massive shopping spree today.  i hit the streets at 10am and was parked in my driveway at 11pm... yes! but FINALLY my xmas shopping is done and i am officially finished.  i was inspired by the video on of my fave youtubers put up...

well, i never really knew that all black was a fashion challenge because i do it so frequently in the winter.  the color usually comes from my purse, shoes, nails, accessories, or lip stick.  but whatever here is my all black o.o.t.d. 

so ladies let me know what you think...

YOUR PARTICIPATION IS REQUESTED

question1: is wearing all black a challenge?
