I promise to never attempt to speak(blog) on behalf of all you ladies out their.Don't believe anything I blog, everything I know is based on my personal experiences. Having said that, I feel it very necessary to share a recent experience with you now.
The product that is most important in your beauty supply kit is none only than the magic of the mascara wand. It can be a magic wand for your eyes and it could also be a nightmare.
Most of today's makeup products are focusing on being a perfect match for each individual. I love this concept! It seems to be making some progress, there will always be room for improvement, I'm sure. The point I am trying to make here is that when it comes to mascara it is very different. Yes there are many, many varieties of this product, however they treat us like we are all alike. (Remember this is from my own experience.) I don't believe I have purchased the same brand of mascara more than 3 times. Eye lashes are very important to me today because I did lose them all once, due to an allergy I had when I was younger. It was horrible! Now, 18 years later, I still count my blessing that they ever grew back.
Recently I purchased REVLON 3D EXTREME Mascara. Cost was around $10.00. I love REVLON and it's made right here in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! In my opinion, I got ripped off this time! I suppose there could be a magic wand in there somewhere. You could never find it. This mascara was dry and flaky, cakey, and the worst clumpy! Even if you attempted to smooth it out with an eyelash comb, you will get mascara flakes all over your face. By the end of the day it will all be under your eyes anyway. I gave it a fair chance, given that sometimes mascara does get a little better after the first couple days. Not this crap! worse and worse! I really disliked this product!
So anyway, I couldn't use it another day, and I also didn't want to go over budget either. So I settled with myself that I would get one under $5.00 because desperate times call for desperate measures! I picked it up at Walgreen's Pharmacy, Mega Wink by Wet'n'wild! It isn't the best but I must give credit where credit is due. Thank you Mega Wink you saved my... eyes! LOL
Anyway thank you all for reading and make it great day.
P.s Kudos to Cori Pishotta on her fabulous saving of over $100.00 USD at Fry's Grocery Store! You must share your magical methods with the rest of us Penny Pinchers.

Herbal Essences Set me up
Beauty on a Budget
Herbal essences
set me up
SPRAY GEL
EXTRA HOLD
I have been using Herbal Essences Spray Gel for many years. I love it! My hair stays in place and of course it smells great! Hands down one of my can't live without hair products!
Recently Herbal essences has a new look. That is fine and dandy because it's whats on the inside that counts, right ladies? Of course it is! Anyway, I was almost out, so naturally I grabbed a couple bottles while I was in Target, to save me the disaster of running out and being broke! It's not that I use it every day, but it has saved many of my "oops" "I hit the snooze button one to many times" mornings. Yeah, you said it,girls add this to your emergency beauty kit today! When I got back from shopping at my local Target Store I was feeling good and still under budget. Always a good thing.
I ended up comparing the old look to the new look, while I was putting things away and I must say I was a little shocked to find I had been robbed! Yes I was robbed! The older bottle of extra hold hair gel is bigger than their new one! How sneaky of them. The new Herbal essences extra hold spray gel contains 170mL (5.7 FL OZ LIQ) vs the older bottle at 177mL (6.0 FL OZ LIQ) So there it was, plain as could be. Herbal essences set me up spray gel extra hold is now 7mL less than before. I do like the new bottle, but I feel like somebody out their (who ever helped design this new look) is thinking, they'll never notice a 7mL decrease if we distract them with a flashy bottle! What idiots to pay the same price for less hair product! ha ha ha !
Well, crazy mad hair care scientist of my imagination, I know what you did and now my readers know and well... You aren't real so...
Sorry bout that. It can be tough, trying to hold it back when you're a Gemini. So I'll keep using my Herbal essences set me up extra hold spray gel with cactus flower to keep it together.
Thanks for reading,
happy shopping!

Product Reviews - Secret Invisible Solid vs Women Degree Ultra Clear
I have just recently made a new discovery on a few products. I feel a public review is in order here. I was shopping at my local Target Store and as usual I was magnetically drawn to the dollar zone and then the clearance items. (I only got a few things that were not on my list. LOL)
Anyway, I'll cut to the chase. My regular brand of deodorant has been, as of lately, Degree Ultra Clear antiperspirant & deodorant. It claims to go on more clear and last longer that Secret Invisible Solid antiperspirant. WRONG!
I found a great deal on a three pack of the Secret Invisible Solid for less than $4.00, so I thought I would take the chance. Once I got home and was putting everything away, I became informed.
Not only is it obvious that Secret (Dist. by Procter & Gamble) goes on completely clear (unlike Dove, Degree, Suave....) It also smells nice and clean, don't want to smell the "pit stick"over my perfume you know. The Secret Invisible solid has 19% Active ingredient where Degree Ultra Clear only 14.8% Active Ingredient.
Maybe this is a strange thing to get all 'public' about, but I know ladies here in Phoenix Arizona must care just as much as I do about this subject. When the temp is 100+ It is important to be protected!
Thank You & Make It A Great Day!

Real Fruit Slushies
My Boyfriend is a Sonic Addict! The $0.99 large slushy is great on hot days here in the vally of the sun. The freal fruit blended perfectly with ice, are the perfect frozen treat! Now he has upgraded to the route 44 drink size. The servers at our local Sonic always get a tip and they probably consider us regular customers. The only thing I wish they could do differently is come up with a anti-brain freeze remedy!
I DID IT AGAIN!
I must be the most sarcastic person EVER! Even my sub conscious is sarcastic!
Yesterday I was consulting someone as to what they should do to further their education. With any business venture their may be some risk. When it comes to trusting someone online you must be very careful. The woman I was talking to had just been through an emergency surgery on her bowel and could not afford a large tuition to further her business knowledge. She asked me what she should do. I explained the benefits and the risks. Then with out even thinking I suggested that she "Go With Her Gut Feeling" How far can a person shove their foot in their mouth, you ask? Well, I think I broke the world record! Don't forget I've been the tittle holder for a while now anyway! WOW! I know. The first thing that came to mind was hey "YOU SAID IT" dummy!
