Items I've bought recently

So acouple months ago my favorite favorite mascara "Lash Stylist" by Mabelline got discontinued and I've been on a hunt ever since to try and find a new mascara I love. This week I decided to try the new L'Oreal Volume Millions Lashes mascara.  Formula is lightweight and doesn’t leave lashes crunchy or weighted down. It feels light on my lashes and it builds easily without clumping. It wears well throughout the day sans smudging or flaking plus it removes fairly easily.  The downside is: First off the price was nearly $11 bucks at taxes. Hello, expensive. I can buy high end for that.

Urdan Decay Naked Eyeshadow palette - $44
This eyeshadow palette has been out of stock for months now, so you really have to hunt it down but I promise it will not disappoint!! This palette is amazing! Great variety in neutral shades and textures and the little bottle of Primer Potion is a ding ding bonus for those who don't own one or haven't tried it yet. This is absolutely, hands-down, my absolute favorite neutral palette.

OPI Fall Colors 2010
New this fall OPI brings us the Swiss collection 12 new colors for us to wear on our nails. Looks like hues ranging from reds, browns, golds, blues, and greens.  I will admit that I was a wee bit disappointed to find that half of the collection is in the red family but reds are still a big seller in spite of a growing number of Fanatics making the more unique shades mainstream.  At least OPI has been recognizing this and in the Swiss collection we have been appeased with six shades from the blue, green, purple and metallic color families and that’s what I chose to focus on first.
I really love Cuckoo For This Color-


Chi Turbo Hair Straightener
The beginning of Sept my hair straightener broke so I was on the lookout for the best buy.  It is lightweight and ergonomic, heats up almost immediately, has a slider bar for varying heat, and velvety felt that protects you from burns. This iron is more expensive, but hopefully it will last for years of top-notch straightening.

I bought this wall quote to go over my bed.  Ive look online at websites and found so many I like but my room would look crazy with all these wall quotes on there.  I love it and think its an affordable way to decorate your home.

I cant think of very many other things I have bought recently.

I freakin' love that green nail polish in the picture!! I was at Mac the other day looking at the Disney Villains line and they had this amazing emerald green color very similar, but I HATE Mac nail polish. Now I know OPI has one! Wooo
(except I'm not so excited that OPI is expensive for nail polish..eh)
