My Addiction: Courtesy of Etsy................................

Etsy.com has replaced some if not all of my favorite department stores (ok maybe I'm exaggerating but you'll get my point later).  You can shop for anything from clothing to home decor and most of the items are handmade. My last purchase was a vintage clutch, feather earrings and a hat for mini me from a young lady in Hungary. I hadn't been on in a while up until two weeks ago and haven't logged off since. Here are some shops you may want to check out:

Jenfashion

Kekebo

Lauragalic

  

  

TOLD YOU!!!!! My experience with them went very smoothly. Keep in mind that alot of the shop owners are in other countries so you should always pay close attention to the shipping details. Go check Etsy out and let me know what you think. Have fun!!!!

Let Your Legs Make a Statement.................................

My first reaction when I saw Rihanna in these sheer suspender tights was "get it bish" and then I immediately logged on to see who had a pair that I can rock. Although I may not be as bold  as Rih Rih is, I did find some that are  a bit more my style (classic but edgy, sexy and feminine).

Yay or Nay: Wild Growth Hair Oil....................................

You may or may not know that I've been through hell and back with my hair. So I've been on a constant search for products to help it become healthy again. It has definitely grown a lot since I decided to go natural and I think its mostly because I haven't applied any heat to it since August and Wild Growth.

My bestie put me on to this a while ago and I must warn you....it smells horrible. For some odd reason they didn't think to put a fragrance in it. I say Yay to this product because I've noticed a drastic amount of growth. Especially in the front where I had lost a big chunk of hair. I use it once a week after I wash it and apply it to my scalp afterward.  The recommended use is 1-3 times a week but I can't get passed that damn smell. It costs about $10 for 4oz which lasts about 6 months (depending on how often you use it). It's also safe to use on children. Most beauty supplies carry it or it can be purchased at Sally's. If you're experiencing some hair loss give Wild Growth a shot and don't say I didn't warn you about the smell honey!

Co-Sign Call.....................................

I'm a self proclaimed marketers dream for the simple fact that I will purchase things that LOOK like they work. They don't even necessarily have to look like they work, they can just have cute packaging.....and I'll buy the damn thing #dontjudgeme. Most times I'm disappointed but recently I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the products I've purchased in the last couple of months. Here are some of the products I co-sign (in no particular order).

Makeup

MAC's Haute & Naughty Mascara

Yeah I bought this because it's cute LOL but it really works (no for real). It gives you an option of two looks. If you use the purple applicator it gives you thicker lashes and if you like more natural but defined looking lashes you would use the pink applicator. I prefer using the pink one because it has an inner chamber that removes the excess mascara, (no clumps).

Wet n Wild Creme Eyeliner

This little bottle is proof that drugstore makeup is just as good as name brand makeup. I ended up getting this because mini me is always playing in my makeup (my son is the makeup police lol) and she lost my Mac Fluidline. Honey it does the same thing, trust me. It's not necessary to spend tons of money on certain things and this is one of them. It's $3.99 so it's a keeper in my book. Your girl loves a bargain!

MAC's Ambering Rose

I love this blush. I just got it about a month ago so its been my go to blush for the fall but its also great for the summer.




Skincare

Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream

I'm getting lines around my eyes (no for real). No one else sees it but I do and that's all that matters. So I went to Duane Reade to find something that will make them go away NOW. Burt's Bees has a new fan because I've only been using it for a couple of weeks and I see a difference already.



Hair Care

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Just two words to say about this product.......GET IT! *bows and walks off stage*
