Black Friday

Its the one day that you either hate... or love. Black Friday. I personally hate it! I have never shopped during black friday and I probably never will. I just don't think its worth standing in line in the cold and being pushed over discounted items. I would much rather just go online and find black friday and cyber monday deals on there. But if you love going out at 6pm Thanksgiving day or around midnight their are tons of retail stores  that are having specials for black friday such as: Forever 21, Torrid, JCpenny, Sears, Express, Gap, Aeropostale, Gordmans, Victorias Secret, Payless, Shoe Carnival and many more. In stores and online some of these stores are offering 20-45% off of select items. If you're shopping online most have lowered their minimum shipping fee amount for free shipping from $50 to $25 or $30. Most of these stores will be open by 5am (if not sooner) and offer some pretty nice discounted items.

New website up!

I have an official website now (click here). This is a fashion based website that I will update with fashion trends and beauty related things. Please visit it and check it out!

Avatar Halloween makeup tutorial

Halloween is slowly but surely approaching. This video was made a few years ago but I think its one the most realistic avatar makeup tutorials that I've seen (that doesn't involve having to purchase prosthetics). What do you guys think about it?

Leather Joggers

Leather Joggers have become a big trend for the fall. I've seen a lot of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Miley Cyrus wearing them. I think they have a cute punk/rock feel but what spices them up is wearing some sort of a heel with them. You can find these pants for a reasonable price on Ebay for a little over $28 or you can buy the ones pictured below on DrJays.com for $79.00.

H&M and American Eagle 40% off coupon. Expires tomorrow! (10/14/13)

Yesterday I recieved two e-mails with coupons for both H&M and American Eagle. Both of them are 40% off in-store or online as long as you have the codes. The code for H&M is 7913 if you are ordering online. Click here for the in-store coupon. The 40% off is valid for only one item.  The code for American Eagle is 09L27551 and it is 40% off of your entire purchase, and if you order online you get free shipping which can save you arould $5-$6. If you shop somewhere excessively like me, I encourage you to sign up and give your email address to the store because thats when they give you free coupons and let you know about their specials and deals. I know people who are really hesitant about giving their email address to retail stores but if you shop there a lot its worth it! Happy shopping :)

Elf primer vs. Urban decay primer potion

Eyeshadow primer is supposed to be used before putting eyeshadow on your eyelids so that the eyeshadow will stay in place and not make creases on your eyelids throughout the day. I haven't used Urban decays primer potion but I've seen a lot of reviews on it on Youtube compared to Elf's eyeshadow primer. Elf's primer can be found at Target for only $1. Yup, thats right. $1! I've been using Elf's primer for about 4 months now and it really works and I like it. Urban decays primer potion is $20 at Sephora.

My personal experience with Toms.

Toms have been popular for the past year or two but are they really worth it? Toms range anywhere from $44+ depending on the style. I went and tried on a pair of Tom's at the mall and also a pair of shoes that look similar to Toms by the brand Bongo at K-mart. When I tried on the Toms I didn't like them at all. The bottoms of them weren't very soft and they fit strange on my feet. After that I went to K-mart and tried on the Bongo brands version of the Toms and I have to say that they are some of my favorite shoes right now. Not only are they cheaper than real Toms and look like them, they also have some type of cushion support on the bottom which makes them really soft. I wear them to work all the time and never have I came home with sore feet. They only difference in the outer appearance is that the Bongo shoes don't say "Toms" on them. You can buy Bongo's version for only $14.99 online or in stores at K-mart. I liked them so much I bought three pairs because they were buy one get one half off at the time.
