STEVE MADDEN CLOGS for Fall - HAUL


Look how pretty!!! Clogs are huge for fall.  The funny thing is, is that I bought this last month at Nordstrom Rack for $50, but I just saw them at Macy's and Nordstoms.  Did I mention they were on sale for $89?  They are so cute on, super sexy looking, but most of all very comfortable. I love the studs along the sides.  I may have to find a matching purse with these.  I'm thinking all black outfit and the clogs and my new imaginary purse.
 If you have a Rack near you and are looking for clogs, check them out.  I also saw them in a black closed toe.  I'm thinking of going back to give them a try.  At Nordstom's I saw the most beautiful boots.  Ugg had clog boots, soooooo beautiful.  I love boots, but hate the hefty prices.

Do you like the clogs for fall/winter?  What type of shoe or boot are you shopping for?

HOW TO BLOG FROM AN iPAD?


An iPad was my Mamma's Day present this year and it's great, but I still have a hard time blogging on it.
Does anyone blog from their iPad?  If you do, could you let me know how you do it.   Are there any good apps. for blogger?  

What's your favorite iPhone or iPad app?

MAKING COOKING A LITTLE EASIER -KRAFT ITALIAN DRESSING



This is my new best friend in the kitchen.  I had the most tender tasting chicken, and when I asked how they got the chicken so soft and tender, this is what it was,  Kraft Zesty Italian.
I have been marinating everything with it.  Meats and veggies come out yummy.  I have also been using for salad dressing, haha, of course.   

It has the perfect blend of seasonings, garlic, vinegar and oil.  The food doesn't come out sour from the vinegar.  I also just add a couple tablespoons when I am sauteing meat or making any side dish.  

Today I took cheery tomatoes and sauteed them in a  1TBS. dressing until soft. You don't need any more because the tomatoes release some liquid.  I added cooked microwaved brown rice, 2 squirts of dressing,  a bag of spinach and warmed everything through.   Chicken would complete this dish, but I didn't have any.  It was delish!  

It also comes in Fat Free(mmm I don't know if I like this one) and one made with olive oil, but I'm going to try different flavors too.  Saves me the time and money of buying all the different seasonings.  It's easy in a bottle.

What is your secret cooking weapon?  What's your favorite dressing?

MAC FEROCIOUS FELINES + MAC DIDI POP - HAUL

This collection was really pretty and there was something for everyone.  I think the lipsticks were really unique and something different.  I also picked up a lipstick from the Didi- Pop Collection.

L - R
Leopard Luxe Quad 
Infused with Glam- Digi- Pop collection
Aristo-Cat

The quads in this collection were all really dupable with other colors in the permanent line, but I just like this color combo so much.  It's small enough to go with me and go from day to night.


L - R
Infused with Glam
Aristo- Cat
Aritso-Cat is so pretty.  It's a pink/lavender with a gold undertone.  It really looks different each time I put it on.  
Infused With Glam ahhhhh, I am not a glitter girl, I think the glitter will end up all over, but I LOVED all the lipsticks in this collection.  I wish they would make them in regular colors.  There were so many I wanted, I shocked myself.  I only got one, but I'm going to try it out and let you know if I end up like a disco ball.

Have you gotten anything from Mac lately or their collections?  What's your next Mac purchase?

COVERGIRL OUTLAST LIPSATIN/review


I have come to the conclusion that I am not a lip stain girl.  I was dying to try these because so many brands came out with them.  CVS had a BOGO and I tried to pick the 2 lightest shades, since they all looked pretty dark to me.

Top -  #420
Bottom - #415
They don't have the name just numbers on the bottom the bottom of the lip stains.  

On my hand the colors look different, but on the lip, it looks pretty much the same.  I couldn't put it on evenly.  The stain came out liquidity and one part stained the lip darker than the other.
What I disliked the most, is the fact my lip look flat.  I looked like a little kid who just ate a popsicle.
I think I'm over have a perfect lip stained lip.

Have you tried a lip stain? What's a good way to put it on?

SENNA COSMETICS - REVIEW


At IMATS this year, seen here, I bought a beautiful palette from Senna Cosmetics.  I loved the feel, color, and pigmentation of it.  You have shadows, blush, highlight, bronzer, and powder in one.  I sent it to my sister-in-law because I knew she would love it.  More importantly, she's a  freelance MUA and works in the movie industry, and this has so many products in one case.  I was right because she uses all the time and loves it too.  So, when I was contacted by Senna Cosmetics to try some products, I was super excited.  I know how great the palette is, and was excited to try more products.
I was not at all disappointed.  These products are just as wonderful.

They carry a full line of cosmetics and brushes.  I found foundation, mineral makeup, shadows, brow kits, and palettes. I like the full range of colors in foundation and powder,  from light to dark skin tones.The prices range from $15-$95.  They also do not test on animals.

Look on Senna Cosmetics site for all their products and descriptions of their products.



MYTH e/s
That is one swipe.  My true test of color payoff.  It's long lasting, but there is some glitter fall out.  I want to try their matte shadows next.

TOP- ALABASTER Lip Lacquer
This is very sticky and thick, but does not move, even when you eat.
BOTTOM GLINT Lipstick
Says its a sheer tone, but I think it has a lot of color.  What I like about this is the SPF and i is moisturizing too. It sinks into the lips.

    TOP - Glint topped with Alabaster
MIDDLE-Alabaster Lip Lacquer
BOTTOM- Glint(Tyra Banks named this a best pick on her show)


JOY Blush
This is my favorite product I tried.  It is like a blush and highlight in one.  For me, it is what Mac Stereo Rose would look like in a blush.

 Myth

TOP Mac Stereo Rose
BOTTOM- Senna Myth blush

Dual Ended Brush
Super soft, but this gives a sheer color wash.

 I want to get a palette for myself so I'll have more products to try and it will be great for travel too.  

Have you tried senna Cosmetics?  Which products would you like to try?

Disclaimer: These products were sent to me and it is my honest review.  I am not getting compensated for my review.
