Ok so they're not available just yet but Xenia over at Doe Deere Blogazine, creator of Lime Crime Makeup, has been talking about her upcoming lipsticks for a minute now. So I was over looking around the Lime Crime website and seen it had a link for Lips so when I clicked it there's a little preview of the lipsticks! OMG! These are so freaking cute-I can't wait!

Update! Doe Deere will reveal three lipstick colors on August 3rd
This look doesn't show up very well on camera, but really sparkles in person. It's not overpowering though, it's a very soft feminine look.
Functionality: 3 out of 5
Design: 3 out of 5
Quality: 3 out of 5
Price: 5 out of 5
Overall: 3 out of 5
Where I bought it: Sally's Beauty Supply
Price Paid: $24.99 but is now reduced to $19.99
Pros: Multiple heat and speed settings. Not too loud. Dries my hair fairly fast. Instant cold button. Removable lint filter. 9 ft. cord. Attachment included. Looks nice.
Cons: Heavy and awkward, makes the included nozzle pointless since you can't properly handle the dryer. Too hot on hottest setting, not hot enough on second highest. Feels like it damages my hair(more so than my experiences with other dryers). Seen sparks when switching settings while on the first few times.
Conclusion: If you're looking for a hair dryer on a budget, this is probably a good bet. You'll save time but not effort. Just make sure to get a good heat protection spray.

This Place is great! I've been hooked since she started it up. I always hear about the blog sales but never can find them or when I do everything I wanted is gone. Well, she's solved that problem, plus she's posting promo codes for makeup sites. You must check this place out! The best part is, she updates very frequently!
On a side note, I noticed myprettypinkbox.com is not sold out of their July box yet. It comes with the beautysoclean, which is great to buy if you're doing a lot of blog sale buying or swapping on makeupalley. This stuff sanitizes your makeup without altering it!

Short on cash? So! You can still get great goodies any day of the week. Just check your local Dollar Tree (or 99 cent store, depending on where you live) or you local Fred's, Dollar General, Family Dollar, any kind of dollar stores! You'll find Elf, L.A. Colors, and many drugstore brands for just $1! Here's my finds yesterday! All items were $1!
I got- (2) L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquers in colors Gold Glitter and Silver Glitter, (3) L.A. Colors Nail Lacquers in Pink Crush, Cotton Candy, and Amethyst, (2) Maybelline Wet Shine Liquid in Pretty in Peach and Rhinestone Pink (wet shine diamonds), elf dual pencil sharpener plus extra sharpener, (1)CoverGirl Shadow Squease in Lagoon, Maybelline Pure Concealer Blemish Treatment Stick in Light, L.A. Colors metallic eyeshadow palette in Eye Candy, (2) Carlo Di Roma mechanical eyeliner in Violet and Azure, (2) Elf Shadow Brushes in Eye Shadow and Defining Eye.
These polishes are really pretty but I couldn't capture the purple, think more grape. I can't wait to try these on! The brush is really small though, and the cap is really big. Awkward.
Sheer glosses with LOTS of sparkle. The pink one is over the top! These would be pretty over a lipstick.
This palette reminded me of the Mac Hello Kitty shadows! I'll wear them and let you all know how they wear. I tried some on my hand and they seem pretty good. I've paid more for worse.
I seen this Elf eye shadow brush a few weeks ago and thought nothing of it since I have one and it's a pretty ok brush, but yesterday at the store I noticed it doesn't look like mine. i guess they redid it since i bought mine a couple of years ago. The newer one is bigger (bottom). It's also much more dense! Maybe I can get it to pack on some more color than the old one.
Hope you all enjoyed my dollar haul!
What was your best ever one dollar purchase????
Mac free shipping all day today using the code CRAFT. I actually made a (small) Mac purchase online this morning and purposely spent over $60 just to get free shipping, even though I had to add something extra to my cart that I wanted but wouldn't have bought if I didn't want the free shipping. So I go to check my email for my receipt and right before that email is a Mac Promo email saying free shipping with any purchase!!! Ugh! Whatever. Luckily I did have a promo code to use anyways- it was LASH79 and you get a free Mac ZoomLash Sample with purchase! Woo!
Another thing is I'm wondering if anyone knows why Mac isn't doing express delivery? I wanted to overnight my purchase and it said they're not doing that right now. It told me the same thing for the Sumo sale but I thought it was just because of that sale. Anyone know whats up?? Now I'll have to go the weekend without my goodies I wanted to wear. *Tear*
O I got Saint Germain! I had thought it was gone with the Sugar Sweet collection but apparently it came back with the Euristocrats 2 line. Yay!
Has everyone seen it yet??? If so, what's your thoughts? If not, go check it out now at Scrangie.com!

I am in love with this foundation. You always hear those fairytales of people finding their perfect foundation, their holygrail. Well here's mine. I know to some, the price is steep for a "drugstore" foundation. Well this isn't your normal drugstore foundation. I've never even found anything like this behind a counter. I would gladly pay this price or more for this product. However, I did pay retail on an impulse buy so if you're looking for this, try to catch a sale. The week after I bought mine, there was a buy 1 get 1 free sale! Ugh! I'll know next time. I just really wanted to try the makeup. So I got the shade Ivory, if you've seen my picture, you know I'm pale. I read A LOT of reviews on this makeup and everyone said Ivory was too dark or the undertones weren't right. Luckily I have pink undertones! This is my perfect shade. It matches me exactly! I have never found the right shade for my face, always muddy looking or grayish. And the line has 20 shades which is amazing for any foundation. If you can't find your own shade, try to mix two as I've seen some people doing. I've been applying this with a wedge sponge. It's the only way I've tried so far. I have heard this is the best way, although I plan on buying a Mac 187 to try also. I wet my sponge thoroughly but squeeze out the excess. This makes the makeup go on so smooth. I have heard a lot of complaints about having to work fast but I feel this extends the drying time. I love the coverage and the look this makeup gives me.It feels so lightweight. I forget I'm even wearing makeup. It takes away shine, looks angelic, hides alot, and stays put! The reason I gave this product a 4 out of 5 though is because I can't get it to cover my acne scarring completely by itself, which I have seen some YouTube gurus do. But with a little green concealer for pimples and redness, some primer and a powder on top, I have enough coverage. I have had the makeup cake on a dry spot on my cheek once or twice, but usually my makeup will cake all over with any other foundation, so this is not a problem really. I have oily oily skin that happens to be dry and flakey at the same time. I use Avon Magix under this as a primer and it really helps. I have worn it without a primer, but really like it more with one. This makeup really does stay, I work 12 hour shifts and get really hot, but this makeup doesn't budge, plus it takes a while for me to start to shine. I haven't had any breakouts from this product. I also haven't noticed any smells from this product, although I have read a lot of women complaining of the smell. They also complained about no pump on the product. I don't really need a pump, I gave the packaging a 5 out of 5 because I like the glass bottle. I've never owned a glass bottled foundation, I always use compacts or something in a tube so this makes me feel all grown up. I was going straight from bottle to sponge but decided to pour some on a plastic sheet and apply from there, I like this way better. I did pour too much though and wasted some product. I'll know better next time. The bottle is also really easy to hold with its slim round shape.

Pros: Lightweight, good coverage, easy to apply, stays put, helps with shine, great price!
Cons: Spf 6 ( how is that even going to help?!), has trouble covering some things (nothing a concealer won't fix), has pink undertones in the lightest shade which is a problem for some women- especially women with an asian background (they should come out with another lightest shade with yellow undertones), they should sell an optional pump like Mac since so many women want one, highly addictive.
Overall: I would highly recommend this foundation to anyone. It is raved about all over the web, and believe me- it's not overhyped! 
Here's the collection from Blair to Vanessa. I find it hard to imagine wearing some of these in public. But for the brave, they'll be worth a try! I'll definitely be stopping by my local Target to see if they are carrying the collection. It'll be in stores and online from September 13th to October 17th.
