New products....WHATS NEW IN OCTOBER?

       Looked through my local stores to see what was new in cosmetics.  Halloween time so lots of fun colors and makeup sets.  Most all the products I purchased were at Wal-Mart or Walgreens.  Keep in mind although the stores are the same brand not all stores will have the same products.  What I found in one store were not in they other stores....Bummer!  Learned that out the hard way!!  One more point with Disney Villains line, you can only get them at Walgreens I have not found them on online (well maybe eBay).  One last note... get Little Mermaid while you can cause once it is gone it will be gone until the vault opens again !

Hope you enjoy my video,

Monster Jam with the Family

Last night was a good family night! Brought out the country girl in me, watching monster trucks last night! Brought me back to boonie busting back home. Going four wheeling was a past time for my parents and brothers. It was a good time my 15 y.o daughter even enjoyed it a lot. My 3y.o was a bit afraid at first but after seeing a superman truck I believe his fear was just about gone !!!

Here is to spending quality time with the family! Cheers!

Money Saving Mani

       So does anyone know how much I like shopping at the Dollar Tree?  Yup the Dollar Tree!!!  You never know what amazing stuff you can find.  Well I was grabbing some crayons for my kids night at work and I of course roamed into the cosmetics isle at my local Dollar Tree. To my surprise I found full nail, nail decals. I was skeptical about buying them from the dollar store, ya since they are like 10 bucks at Walmart!! I have even bought them from vendors on ETSY for a bit over 3 bucks, so for a buck......we shall see!! So I grabbed a couple of patterns and was on my way to the register, he he.

So here are a few design I brought home, there were only a few designs left that I didn't buy.  Also in the picture is a jar of Martha Stewart Glitter (that I use for everything).  I will explain what I used it for. So I am sure everyone is excited to hear how they worked.  I was so very happy with the results.  They did crease a bit and they were very delicate so they can rip very easy.  All in all so very happy with the results!!!!

Now here are the steps that I used.  I actually placed artificial tips on my nails cause mine were dry and braking :(  I then took a base coat that I purchased from Sally Beauty Supply called" fuse" it has a bit of a sticky finish to adhere well to the main nail color in this case nail decals.  after placing the decals on all but one finger I smoothed them out as best as possible also filed the tip of my nails to leave a smooth decal finish.  I probably could have left them but I chose to add a top coat of my favorite top coat called "Out the Door" from Sally Beauty Supply dries super fast and is super thick.  Then I needed a focal finger so I took the fuse before it dried sprinkled a layer of glitter let it dry and did it again.  To keep the glitter from falling off I added a top coat with the top coat.

That is it I did it while watching Batman and now I have a very cheap and fast (for the most part) manicure!
FYI : It has almost been 7 days and it is still looking great, so they are so worth the dollar!!!

Hope ya enjoy my tips and tricks for a "Money Saving Mani"
