todays purchases

I bought some black skinny jeans at Ross for $9.00. I had to cut about 5 inches off of the bottom since I'm short. Now they look more like straight leg jeans on me. Personally I like skinny jeans. I'm an apple shape, so if I try to wear flares or straight leg jeans they are too big through the hip area once I've found the right size to fit around my middle. I'll take some pictures once I've broken them in.

I also got a shellac manicure today. So far so good, it's just like a gel overlay and can get thick in places. I spent $25 for it, and I'm not sure if that was too much, but it's a bit of a budget buster for me. I thought I would just treat myself to a little bit of pampering. I'll let you know how it holds up. I was a little disappointed with color selection, I went with a hot pink shade, but I was really hoping for a purple.

While at Ross I also purchased some e.l.f. eye shadows and a brush set. If you have a Ross near you, look to see if they have any e.l.f. cosmetics. I really like this brand and they are animal friendly. I got the eye shadow palate for $5.00 and the brush set for $10.00.

I went to the Body Shop today and got some new things to try. I picked up a small Seaweed mattifying day cream. I have oily skin and I just ran out of my daily moisturizer. I'll try it out and let you guys know how I like it. I also picked up a lipstick #49 Berry Shimmer. They don't smell so great, but the color is nice and sort of like an old sephora lip gloss that I loved and they discontinued. I realized that the only lipsticks I have are either bright red or frosty brown. I don't know what I was thinking with the frosty browns, but I can't wear bright red every day. So I picked up this one because it was a little more subdued. By the way, my favorite red is Red Revival by Maybelline. I've spent way more on reds, but this is the best and pretty cheap.

That's it for now, I'll play with the things I bought and let you know how they turn out. Oh, and I wanted to thank everyone who has been following my blog. I reached 300+ hits last night/this morning. That was way more than I ever could have expected. Thanks again.
