Hey Chicas!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I'm finally back with a holiday makeup look. This was a request from my subscriber moonflowersparkles. She is the kindest sweetest person and so supportive. So I just wanted to say a big thanks for the encouragement :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The request was "Hey girl!! Miss your videos! Can't wait till you post a new one...btw, I
have a request. When you have a chance do you think you could do a
semi-subtle "Candy Cane" eyeshadow look? With the traditional red and
white and maybe some green?? Thank you :D *hugs*". Isn't she just beyond super sweet !</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3C9OrLEGcMaJBjFL_tCyaWrV4VWY8B25vAaAtBWEJ29faIpLT1K5qMxQgsUaPkDbkc8a7D72NxfmPI2dCeXOf7vunZmKq3FLPrgKcqPGLXlp7YkRqACvfb7P5dAZWTf6bilywyfgEGY/s1600/il_570xN.287807779.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3C9OrLEGcMaJBjFL_tCyaWrV4VWY8B25vAaAtBWEJ29faIpLT1K5qMxQgsUaPkDbkc8a7D72NxfmPI2dCeXOf7vunZmKq3FLPrgKcqPGLXlp7YkRqACvfb7P5dAZWTf6bilywyfgEGY/s320/il_570xN.287807779.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So that is exactly what I set out to accomplish....only 3 weeks after her request, and one week after I tweeted about. (You didn't know that I tweet? Well still getting into the swing of it. <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/CaitlinChic">Follow me on twitter to see my attempts</a>.)</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So taking the inspiration from the above picture, I went with a snow white eye with dark green shading on the outer edge. My cheeks are a deep red, which is a great way to give your face a little pick-me up in the winter paleness and all. And the lips are the essential deep red for the season. I covered off all the basis. and the most important this about the look is that moonflowersparkles loved it :)</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I really like the outcome, its always fun to experiment with a different look, especially when the idea came from another source. I don't know it just makes it more challenging, you want to impress them. :-)</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The look is great for the holidays it has the typical colors that you see but in a different application. Its not to far out there, that you couldn't wear it to family gathering, but it's dramatic enough to wear to a party. Or at least I think so anyway.</div>

<br />
So yeah this post is likely not what you are expecting it to be about. I'm all about trying to cut down the amount of time it takes in the morning to get ready for the day. So the most time consuming task for me in the mornings is....my hair. Washing, drying, and styling, primping, curling, straightening....the list could honestly go on forever. So yeah I've been known to skip a day (or two maybe three) between washes, because really my hair doesn't get that oily or dirty in one day. But that all depends on your hair type and scalp conditions, so if you can't you can't, but have you really tried to go more than one day. I know I've discussed it with my other friends, the none blog ones, and well you have to give it a good go. For more <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2010/08/dry-shampoo.html">tips and tricks click this</a>, or click this to see my <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2010/09/fav-dry-shampoos-review.html">first blog post </a>and <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2010/09/dry-shampoo-youtube.html">video</a> on the subject, and if you want a more updated one with my still running <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/04/holy-grail-of-dry-shampoo.html">all time favorite click THIS</a>!<br />
<br />
So I picked up the John Frieda Luxurious Volume. It's made to give your hair a refresher during the day if you have fine or limp hair that gets oily throughout the day. The product says this about it "<i>The perfect pick-me-up styler: refresh your
volume, anytime, anywhere. Use this dry spray-shampoo to renew volume as
fine hair starts to drop during the day. Recreates volume at the roots
while refreshing style by absorbing oils for a fresh, full look. Can be
used anytime, anywhere."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPMQdWGYR_FRAqhUhz5I2s5DwULTgu-k9DMQO8mF4ho18GVrmtKeIrbXGtF4OpV_Lipt-5qhoQiBB7u6O9v9hyphenhyphenaJ4MwcrCmMmUoVx63DeJRr_s9MlQz9BrYP9T4vYSVGlpII2z6XNl11k/s1600/JohnFrieda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPMQdWGYR_FRAqhUhz5I2s5DwULTgu-k9DMQO8mF4ho18GVrmtKeIrbXGtF4OpV_Lipt-5qhoQiBB7u6O9v9hyphenhyphenaJ4MwcrCmMmUoVx63DeJRr_s9MlQz9BrYP9T4vYSVGlpII2z6XNl11k/s320/JohnFrieda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So I guess they are suggesting that you carry around in your purse if you want a little more lift to your hair. Well its defiantly small enough to go in your purse, but the price tag was not. I paid about $12 for it but its only 100 g size small..small. Over priced, yeah I think so, but the real question is does it work?<br />
<br />
Are you going to go from flat to your head to this hair, like their ad states?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZaYlv5GBXbtZ-EOkp_m6XvEFjAkVdbsN-elHVrYgo6l6CI8qa841PvQcd7DC-HydWdCQMSg8MYFYPoA_t0WxD2BE8moGFkYF2fCedvouyqpXfEh2KQty2dkjzHFNjRmj6C_WyO-qIsFQ/s1600/JohnFrieda1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZaYlv5GBXbtZ-EOkp_m6XvEFjAkVdbsN-elHVrYgo6l6CI8qa841PvQcd7DC-HydWdCQMSg8MYFYPoA_t0WxD2BE8moGFkYF2fCedvouyqpXfEh2KQty2dkjzHFNjRmj6C_WyO-qIsFQ/s320/JohnFrieda1.jpg" width="231" /></a></div>
<br />
No freakin' way people. The only real volume that it gives is when it removes the oil, that in itself will give your hair more body. It will not give you the above style....ever! <i>(I knew that the product would not give me the pic's hair, I'm really not that dense, but some remote likeness <strike>would </strike>should be expected)</i> It is good in that there is no residue, no white spots, the bad......is well the size, because it does matter. ;-) Also the bad side is that it's not the greatest and refreshing your hair, meaning it does an OK job at removing the excess oil, but I've had better (I'm on a roll tonight). It does smell OK, doesn't leave you feeling that you put stuff in your hair, but the size and the lack of volume (like non-existent), and oil absorbing leaves me wanting more....<br />
<br />
So it's OK, if you want a small bottle to travel with and are willing to by double then what my <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/04/holy-grail-of-dry-shampoo.html">fav </a>is, go for it, other wise leave it on the shelf. You can do better.<br />
<br />
And maybe you should pickup my suggestion of a <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/04/holy-grail-of-dry-shampoo.html">holy grail dry shampoo </a>, before the holiday party season, you never know when that extra 30-40 minutes of sleep will be needed! :-)<br />

Hey Chicas!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So its been over a month(ish) since I've done a makeup look. I know total slacker on my part. All shall be reveled soon though.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I was on LaineyGossip the other day (aka...weeks since this tutorial was actually filmed) and saw a picture of Adele at an awards show. I love Adele, for many reasons. Her voice is wonderful, and it's nice to see a woman that isn't trying to fit into a mold that many other singers are attempting to do. She is just herself and its nice to have a classic lady to look up to!</div>

But what drew me towards the picture has her classic eye makeup look. Its totally doable look, it can be scaled up to be more of a going out look or toned down look for the office. The look that I created is a mixture between the two sides.</div>

Hey Chicas!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So tomorrow is Halloween. I know that some people are anti Halloween, I think, that they don't think that they can dress up anymore when they get a little older. Well those people are.....well....wrong! You can still have loads of fun with it.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
On Friday night Andrew and I went down to <a href="http://thechuckwagonfarmmarket.com/news.html">Belfast Corn Maze</a> with another couple. Let's just say that it was super crazy, and the boys had the flashlights, but when something crawled out from the corn maze and grabbed our legs, we just took off. We did manage to stop after our sprint, but only once we realized that we didn't have a light and we couldn't see anything it was pitch black. We had left the boys behind with the flashlight, along with our mitts! So it was a great night, the maze was really well planned out and done, not overly scary but just enough. Its a definite must see for next year. Just click the link above to check it out. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The fiance and I went to a house party last night. Yeah, one that I was notified about on <i>Friday night after work</i>. So the planning stage of my outfit was way, way more limited than what I'm used to. Lets all keep in mind, for those that don't know, when I got back from Fashion Week I got Strep Throat, so that's still totally hanging around. And after being out in the weather the night before, with all that wind, it really didn't do me any favors. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Last year we went as <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween.html">couple costume</a>, which was pretty good.</div>

So this year we had to do it better. But with a smaller time frame it was hard to do. Andrew was out of the province for the day so it was all up to me. Luckily the night before we had a pow-ow with the other couple for costumes and came up with something for everyone. I was going to go as Black Swan, and Andrew wanted to go as Goose from Top Gun. (if you are reading my blog and don't know what Top Gun is, go rent it, watch it, and then come back!)</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
It was a lot harder to get Andrews figured out surprisingly as they don't really sell olive green coveralls anymore, don't know when that happened, but the are all blue. So I grabbed a par of old beige ones from my dad, and decided to dye it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Did you know that polyester doesn't take dye that well. Yeah well I found that one out the hard and long way. So at 5:40 last night we had to go and find another option (we as in me and my mom). We ended up getting a painter coverall's; you know those white zipper ones with a hood, and a can of "Camp Green" spray paint. I was just going to cut off the hood and make it a collar, and spray paint the crap out of it. Mine was mostly just some feather boas, for a skirt everything else I already owned. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Our costume totals came to $23 for Andrews, and $12 for mine. That's pretty sweet for all DIYed costumes. As that's how we roll, no bought costumes in this household!</div>

<br />
Today was by far the craziest of all! All because of Korhani, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh tonight. They were awesome.<br />
<br />
The most theathrical show had to go to Korhani, I had heard they were unbelievable, but I'm not sure anything could have prepared me for this...<br />

Pink Tartan was beautiful, whites and creams, pops of bold neon colors, feminine flowy full skirts, polka dots, and my fav, the return of a shirt dress, but with a fuller skirt! I'm in love...<br />

Joe Fresh, is one of my personal favorite designers, wish PEI had a better selection of clothes though.. Again there was creams, white, still a little bit of nautical flare with the navy blue, and hits of neon yellow! Love the colors and cuts for the guys too, nice to see the men represented here as well.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Couldn't even think about blogging last night. All those tweets tired me out..lol. No but Seriously getting up at 4:21 am (see <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/10/hello-toronto.html">this post</a> to hear about that).and not being able to get into my room until I returned at 10:30 pm that night (hotels and their stupid rules..gosh). Made for a long ass day. All of which I loved. It was totally exciting, which also makes you forget, that you yet to have any breakfast etc. all of which was totally my bad. But today guess who is paying for it, me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided that food this morning was more important than sleep, but since I've had breakfast, I've had to take out my contacts because my eyes kept twitching....so beyond annoying. Hopefully a mid morning nap will be just the ticket for good afternoon and a great night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I thought that I would include some pics from yesterday, there won't be too many of the shows yet, I need time to review those and post them with comments. Since this is my first Fashion Week experience I can't seem to spin out an opinion quite as fast other bloggers. So I'm so the posts about fashion week will continue into next week. Which isn't that great for being on the cutting edge of things, but it's the best that I can do.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was unbelievable walking up to the area yesterday...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I have made it to TO. But it was not without some drama.... because the best kind of trips start with drama right!? (that's what I'm telling myself, just let me have it!) Sop the plane was leaving @6AM so to get all dolled up and get there an hour before I figured that 3AM would be perfect. Well not perfect but about as good as it can be at 3am in the morning!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wake up on my own AT 4:21AM! Yeah you totally read that right! I have over slept a whole <b>hour and a half</b>. All my prep time styling my hair, doing my makeup was gone! I was soo upset about that mistake that I started to cry. So my get pretty time, dwindled down to 40 mins (which was pushing it!) to get my hair washed, styled, dressed, and out the door to the airport. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So obviously that all didn't happen, thank goodness that I had all my clothes packed up, but talk about the adrenalin pumping early in the morning! So what got missed, well my hair is dry, that's about it, and my makeup didn't happen. If you follow me on Twitter you know this already. Something had to give and eye makeup was it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But all in all the flight was good, the view was pretty fantastic with the sun rising.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
This weekend has been full of planning my outfits for the three days! Let me tell you, it's a <strike>little </strike> lot stressful deciding what you are going to wear when you know you are going to be around the fashion industry leaders! That just puts on a whole other level of self doubt right there! haha</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I think that I have it all down....I think. Not going say that were won't be some changes as days pass, but its pretty close. So because I'm slightly Type A (that's my story, no matter what Andrew has to say about it), I have the three days totally planned. Yup, I do right down to the earrings..hehe.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br />
So its less than one week until I get to attend <a href="http://www.lgfashionweek.ca/">Toronto Fashion Week</a> all thanks to L'Oreal Paris Canada! Don't know what I'm talking about...click <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/infalliable-eye-color-rich-jewel-tones.html">here for the first</a>, <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/loreal-paris-best-bold-eye-beauty.html">here for the second</a>, and <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/10/toronto-lg-fashion-week-by-loreal-paris.html?showComment=1318461150028#c1222659986080098440">here for the news</a>!<br />
<br />
So last minute last week, we decided that we would go the Maine for the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. So with the last minute planning for the trip, the blog got left, and today is the first day that I had the energy to post anything.<br />
<br />
So of course I felt a cold/flu bug coming on the day that we were going to leave. I was like "umm...nope this is not happening now!" So off I went to trusty Shoppers and got me some <a href="http://www.coldfx.com/">Cold-FX</a>.<br />
<br />

I had used it last year on the trip to Montreal, and it definitely kept the bug at bay. I took it again this time and it worked. Mind you I wasn't jumping for joy in Kittery, but I was able to function. And function enough to shop, and shop well, by the third day of this stuff I just had the lingering effects of a cold, it never got any worse!<br />
<br />
So as the season for colds and flu come up, and if you're seriously into shopping, and stocking up on Fall/Winter Trends (as I may be prepping outfits for next week...). Look into this products, to make sure its good for you (and if any other prescriptions may not play well together), you have been warned.<br />
<br />
<br />
I purchased the three day supply to really kick it out, and it does seem to work really well. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. You don't want to miss any time shopping (that may just be fetish too...still deciding on that factor).<br />
<br />
I actually may just purchase another package to have in my bag, just in case the bug hits me up in TO, I need to be on my game for that! <br />

<br />
My name is Caitlin and I have a lamp fetish. Yeah, that's what I've figured out. No matter where I am if I see a lamp, I have this inner voice <strike>telling </strike>asking me to buy it. I really don't understand where it steemed from. Like if you like to <strike>hoard </strike>collect things, generally it's becuase at some point, things were taken away from you. I can never say that a lamp was taking away from me. What? You don't think that it's the same level...believe me if you were in my head, it would be.<br />
<br />
Where was I.....right....my "problem". Every where I go I always zero in on lamps, Winners, WalMart, Habitat for Humanity, auctions, thrift stores..see my drift.<br />
<br />
So I was at Habitat for Humanity and zeroed in on my very ugly dated lamps. Complete with the pleated shade.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
There were actually 4 lamps that I got in total, made up of 2 different styles. They were marked at $15 a piece, so I was mentally calculating the costs to fix them up. Because you can get awesome shades at a good price at Winners/HomeGoods so I figured, sure why not, I liked the lines and shape of them.<br />
<br />
See the $15 price tag, well that's not really what I paid for them....<br />

You notice how the 1 is kinda rubbing off....obviously they had been sitting there for a while. Other peoples loss is totally my gain. There was an older lady working the cash, and she missed that little 1 before the 5 meaning they were rung in at $5 a piece! I got all 4 lamps for under $22, taxes in, so a total score. :-)<br />
<br />
They needed a little love, as I'm not really feeling a dusty pink with cheap shiny gold, just not quite my style.<br />
<br />
Before pics for your enjoyment...<br />

<br />
I actually took the lamp apart, and sprayed each piece individually (you totally don't have to do that you could just spray it together, whichever way floats your boat). So after it was taken apart, I wiped the lamp down as it was major dirty/grimy, likely from the 80's. First I grabbed Rust-oleum Spray primer in Grey to ensure that the shiny areas would take the paint. Then I took Rust-oleum Navy Blue Gloss spray paint for the actual color. It was amazing to cover, I really do think that the primer makes all the difference. The whole process took about 2 days, as I let the parts for a set/cure for one whole day just to ensure that it was all set. Better to be safe than sorry, I hate nicks and bumps, so anything extra to help avoid it is wonderful.<br />

The $5 lamp doesn't even look the same anymore....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4SvHzcUO2s3Jhal-MgMrLQdJEz4jLdR_k6t0sMoyh6QtSKJuFGPmX5NZSrSEe2GCZBQpIGnQeEksu3u4I2uh4dJxWv5MUW2G81t40PFB4lr5jBuWVLenaMuRTW8qO3SloZnQbAUT8kC4/s1600/DIY1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4SvHzcUO2s3Jhal-MgMrLQdJEz4jLdR_k6t0sMoyh6QtSKJuFGPmX5NZSrSEe2GCZBQpIGnQeEksu3u4I2uh4dJxWv5MUW2G81t40PFB4lr5jBuWVLenaMuRTW8qO3SloZnQbAUT8kC4/s400/DIY1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The color is gorgeous deep true navy blue. Sorry all the pictures were taken at night, the mornings are just to rushed to attempt pictures. I think that the bottom middle color is the truest to real life color. The difference that $12 in spray paint, and $20 drum lampshade can make. (It took me forever to find an off-white drum shade, ended up paying more than I wanted to at Sears but hey, I'd been looking for 2 weeks) The coverage is excellent, and the cost is still well below what a good sized new lamp would run you. Plus with this excellent color, they now match the bedding set, which, is nice, as the pink didn't really go!<br />
<br />
So just one more look at the comparison. Plus that white shade gives so much more light to the surrounding area, then the god awful pink.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGgAaPRovqK1gHxfTOCDPSjz-sOlMp0ryv-d5lVBHeGAoHstgPFMtkq9erWKLfRDLQMAWpsAX-nfmF8rKvm_puyxYCGMVVmQkXBY-fHc4erm9nIVZLoC9-LC_I8h-dUB5gzoPjNJtmVQ/s1600/DIY3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGgAaPRovqK1gHxfTOCDPSjz-sOlMp0ryv-d5lVBHeGAoHstgPFMtkq9erWKLfRDLQMAWpsAX-nfmF8rKvm_puyxYCGMVVmQkXBY-fHc4erm9nIVZLoC9-LC_I8h-dUB5gzoPjNJtmVQ/s400/DIY3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So for few changes the impact is huge, really the paint and shade totally changes the look and feel of the lamp. Before it looked totally dated and now it looks modern. A definite score :-)<br />

So do we all remember those little posts that you guys saw a few weeks ago, <strike>begging </strike>requesting you to watch a video and comment and vote. No? Oh, how embarrassing is that....well click <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/infalliable-eye-color-rich-jewel-tones.html">here </a>and <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/loreal-paris-best-bold-eye-beauty.html">here </a>for a refresher of my uncontainable excitement.</div>

You have all made this possible! (I'm not generally good at thank you's a little smile, a hug, and that's about it, highly underwhelming for this type of opportunity!)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">L'Oreal Paris Canada</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> announced it on their Twitter page Sept. 27th! I was so excited, because that meant that I could tell people about it :-)</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So with that I figured that I should learn how to use Twitter...a task in it self!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I'm so excited! I will fill you guys in on the dets, once they are all confirmed, and please follow me on Twitter @CaitlinChic as I'm assuming that most updates when I'm up there will come from that avenue!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now I need to go and figure out outfits to wear!</span><br />

Hey Chicas!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I think that I would be hard pressed to find someone to argue with that statement (but hey its the web, so you never know).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I've had many issues with the dreaded pimple. It all started in grade 8, and got worse in grade 9. I know some people see my face are like oh you don't have any issues with it. And I just smile and say thank you, all the time thinking in my head, thank god my concoction is working for me! It started in grade 9 taking medication for my face...yup it was that bad. So I was able to stop taking them when I reached university, leaning myself off the 4 a day to just 1 a day and then to none. I haven't taken any medication for a few years now. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Anyway, not that I'm giving you my sad history, but just a little context to my pimple history (that sounds kinda gross eh?). So hence, when I see a breakout starting, my mind goes back to what it was like and what if it happens again?.....</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
So I have been using this little system for a while now, and when I do breakout it has proven to be effective, and when used correctly and everyday, it defiantly does the trick!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pad. I know it has some alcohol in it, yes I know my stance on it, but really this Sh!t is awesome. I generally only use it at night after I have cleaned my face, just to ensure that all the makeup is off, and any traces of dirt/grim etc is removed. It does sting a little, but I really haven't found it drying to my skin at all, which is awesome. The price is around $6ish and you get like 90 pads, so its cheap and cheerful.</div>

Second it is like my bff, for over 2 years (some friends don't even last that long..hehe). Clean & Clear persa-gel 10, 10% benzoyl peroxide. Unfortunately, for us Canadians, we can only get the 5% strength (I think, let me know if I'm wrong, though), I pick mine up during my yearly trips to Maine. Its the only spot treatment that seems to work. This one tube will last you about 1 year, if you don't overuse it. </div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Picked it up at Wally-Mart for around $5. FreeMan Facial Clay Mask - Avocado & Oatmeal. Clay masks are perfect for oily skin, the clay will basically suck up the excess oil in your skin, taking the impurities right along with it. As the mask dries, it will get tight and dry (duh), so avoiding the eye area is really really important. I've used it all over my face, and as well for spot treatments.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
This is how I use the products, on my face on a daily basis. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
After I have washed my face, I apply the Noxzema pad, concentrating on the problem areas. If I feel a spot coming or have one to deal with, I do these next steps if my face is clear, the Noxzema pad is totally enough! If I have a problem area, I apply the benzoyl peroxide to the area, and let it dry (I usually do my teeth at this stage, if we wanna get all specific). Next, which is what I think really is just the icing on the cake. I apply the Clay Mask over top of the benzoyl peroxide on the problem area. I leave this mixture on the area the whole night, because the clay mask dries it won't stain your sheets or clothes - just as long as you wait the few minutes for the clay to dry.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
That's how I deal with the issues, to ensure that my skin is nice and clear. I caution you to avoid using it heavily if you are not overly oily, because you will get some dry spots on the areas. But for me a little dry patch is much better/easier to deal with then a big ass pimple. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I really think that the use of both acne medications the salicylic acid (Noxzema Pads), with the benzoyl peroxide at 10% (Clean & Clear spot treatment), really hit both areas of problem pimples. And with the clay mask holding in all the treatment all night will ensure that the medication gets properly absorbed into the skin.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
So this is my magic solution, obviously nothing is perfect, but its as close as I can get it.</div>

I tried it and I just LURVE it! I'm just beyond, its soo easy to do and super quick and the impact is fabulous! (just a point of context, this post took easily 2-3 times longer than actually doing the nail look)</div>

1. Sparkles...well duh. A lot of the blogs were talking about the Martha Stewart Glitter. I don't know about you, but Martha Stewart items are not generally known to be friendly on the pockets. So I picked up some Superfine Glitter packages at the Dollararma in the craft aisle. They have a number of colors to chose from and you get 6 different colors for one dollar! So yeah, feel free to share this stuff with your BF as it will last you a good long time! The best part about this product is that the glitter really is super fine, not big and chunky making it really easy to apply to the nails :)</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
2. The nail polish of your choice, I used Essie "Made to Honour", and Essie "To Dry For" top coat (which is my favorite ever). The polish is a real neutral and makes your nails look so shiny and healthy, double bonus! I used my ELF Concealer Brush, as it has nylon bristles, so any small craft brush will totally work to pick up the glitter.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
So the fun stuff. First off, apply a base coat, to help protect your nails from the glitter when you have to remove it. Next apply one coat of your chosen nail polish wait until tacky dry. Then when you are going to apply the glitter, apply the second coat of polish only to 2-3 fingers, you don't want the polish to get to dry before you get the glitter on the nail.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I chose a pink/rose champagne tone sparkle, to go with the polish. Feel free to match sparkles or go bold and use contrasting colors! </span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
So for the application of the glitter, make sure that the nail you are applying the glitter to is still wettish. Dip the top of the brush into the packet of glitter.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Then all you need to do is a gentle patting motion while placing the brush with the glitter on the tip of the nail...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Slowly make your way across the top of the nail. Don't worry about the straight edge of the glitter that's not what we are going for here, just get the glitter on the polish (when still wettish).</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Once the glitter is on the tip, your brush will still have some glitter on it (umm obviously it's glitter, that crap sticks to everything - you have been warned!) simply go over the edge of the glitter line and down onto the nail itself. This will give your nails a dipped into glitter look, and make it look like the glitter has fallen down on to the nail on its own. It's just a little more natural that way. (I totally laughed out loud as I typed that...glitter natural? oh if only!)</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Simply repeat the process for the rest of your digits! Once you have the look that you want let it dry, no like really dry, so the glitter sticks to the polish really well.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
See how I have some random sparkles below the tip, it just looks...*cough* more natural.... </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
The top coat is really the only tricky part of this whole process. As the sparkle doesn't have to be perfect, believe me the more loose sparkles on the nail the better, so no stress k?</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
To ensure that the sparkles don't gravitate fully on down the nail, you'll have the apply the top coat to the nail polish section only first then apply to the sparkles on the tip second. If you simply apply it the standard way, the second pass on the nail will transfer the sparkles on the base, which isn't bad but avoidable. I recommend two coats to get the sparkles semi smooth and not too rough to the touch.</div>

Hey Chicas!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I had purchased the <a href="http://www.instyler.com/">Instyler</a> a while ago at Walmart. It was on clearance for $45, and online I've seen upwards $140, so that was a little push towards getting it for sure. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRhGQH9K30wQFTZSkwNkCJAfwf4lXCNCY6q1iS6lh8-qx_q56I7nK5abl2CASUMtfvCAeIo9e4R-gCSuEMqn8xfKtOwdAE_SpYngBZ5o-Onisrz5mvcM0kN99tbgLg09pFRJsuv0qIdA/s1600/shot_1316466550975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRhGQH9K30wQFTZSkwNkCJAfwf4lXCNCY6q1iS6lh8-qx_q56I7nK5abl2CASUMtfvCAeIo9e4R-gCSuEMqn8xfKtOwdAE_SpYngBZ5o-Onisrz5mvcM0kN99tbgLg09pFRJsuv0qIdA/s320/shot_1316466550975.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Plus, I was in the market for new straightener<span class="st"><em></em></span>, but one that could make hair straight, curl, body etc, I was pretty much sold! I had seen it on an infomercial down in the states a few months back so I had heard all the hype around it, and figured meh...might as well try for it. If you aren't aware of it, <a href="http://www.instyler.com/">check out the site</a>, they have videos and tutorials!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I had tried as just a styler, meaning just smoothing out my hair, and giving it some body. I find that some straighteners make my hair flat, you know lack of body, and I don't like the pin straight look, my hair is on the fine side, and pin straight just doesn't work so well. I need the little curl or flip on the end to work it!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I thought that because it works so well on my hair on normal circumstances, for that extra polished look. But would it really do what the videos show with curly/wavy hair?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So it was Saturday morning, and I just didn't want to do anything with my hair but it needed something....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGo5W1S8uW1x65oOCdzIzxX1qb-EA-NIoGeOGBYeUPvMOS0zTldeCQu3-gkZ4Xa5PN6lGq7nvXoBjZZWuoeuq8qKsLB6cqGyiTY29qGIuueMWo0pHJiSMh8WRb_dJRLzQXmd6urYCuEg/s1600/shot_1316256994191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGo5W1S8uW1x65oOCdzIzxX1qb-EA-NIoGeOGBYeUPvMOS0zTldeCQu3-gkZ4Xa5PN6lGq7nvXoBjZZWuoeuq8qKsLB6cqGyiTY29qGIuueMWo0pHJiSMh8WRb_dJRLzQXmd6urYCuEg/s320/shot_1316256994191.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
See I was right, I couldn't possibly go out...in the public....with that hair (it was a style attempt that FAILED).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Plus I was pretty tired that morning for few exciting reasons (if you don't know what I'm talking about c<a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/infalliable-eye-color-rich-jewel-tones.html">lick here for the first</a>, and <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/09/loreal-paris-best-bold-eye-beauty.html">here for the second</a>), hence the slightly out if it expression...hehe.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I just followed the directions for the styler that I saw on the infomercials, yes there is a explanation booklet, and even a DVD but umm..its like a hair tool, I wasn't going to waste my time with that! (pss..I think it would help, you'd figure sh!t out alot faster than I did).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I basically sectioned of hair and placed the barrel under the hair, while slightly twisting my wrist while pulling the styler down the hair. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I started with this....</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
much much better than the before, am I right or am I right!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So I really like the product, at a price around $50 not at around $140, that's just a bit much for my shallow pockets. On the Canadian site...<a href="https://www.instyler.ca/">https://www.instyler.ca/</a> they have some sort of trial offer for $15ish, just an FYI.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I do love the shine and smoothness that it provides my hair, it's a quick fix in the mornings, and I love that it can do a few different things. So much nicer for packing, 1 as compared to like 3, yes please! Your hair isn't super ass hot after you use it either, which makes the style much easier to maintain, as your hair doesn't have to cool down much. It does do what it says it does....at least with my hair type.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

If you can find it on sale, go for it, don't get suckered in for full price ;)</div>

<br />
I have been trying the new L'Oreal Color Infallible eyeshadows for over 2 weeks now! Let me tell you, when I swatched the colors for the first time with my BF, we both F-R-E-A-K-E-D O-U-T. The pigment is like cray crazy, and the wear time is beautifully long. The color choices are great, and definitely on trend for the Fall Winter 2011/2012, which is nice, very nice.<br />
<br />
So for those of you that are nosy (jk) and came from YouTube. Thanks for checking it out :-) So L'Oreal contacted me via email about participating in a contest using the above mentioned shadows.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLp-b2h70UdbiS3pOxrSukyH5TtZdoAs6IwYSeGY7bck83FAuuKcF16rwr4L0pqF-Au9VsLxxnCdASC1aCkEOiZP_GRFpyfBw6gqP7xjDilZ34awhphv7lYwEp_9gEXNOPuC8pS-BLI4/s1600/L%2527Oreal+Contest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLp-b2h70UdbiS3pOxrSukyH5TtZdoAs6IwYSeGY7bck83FAuuKcF16rwr4L0pqF-Au9VsLxxnCdASC1aCkEOiZP_GRFpyfBw6gqP7xjDilZ34awhphv7lYwEp_9gEXNOPuC8pS-BLI4/s640/L%2527Oreal+Contest.jpg" width="536" /></a></div>The goal was to create a bold eyelook, and it could be day time or night, whatever goes! I was sold, they said that they would send some product for the particpants to use the video. So I was expecting to see like 1 or 2 shadows in the box when it arrived.<br />
<br />
Well the thought was a sadly mistaken on...........I got 9!! 9 flipping full size pots of product at that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEgYxPiH9J9Sy9QkVp6Wits_FURord_JIBoOpMu6jgGqW_ggj1YyDRIip0DGl1JIwRzW81QMh0fbyexVCJWNClWesRdDN5rfL3XNx4lYaknO0VlyR9u2rVrxX6GW8H4z7R4pMuX84g_s/s1600/Recently+Updated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEgYxPiH9J9Sy9QkVp6Wits_FURord_JIBoOpMu6jgGqW_ggj1YyDRIip0DGl1JIwRzW81QMh0fbyexVCJWNClWesRdDN5rfL3XNx4lYaknO0VlyR9u2rVrxX6GW8H4z7R4pMuX84g_s/s320/Recently+Updated.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I was totally taken aback with the product, and the quality, they really are that good. Now, let get this straight I was not given any other freebies from this beyond the below listed products that were sent. Everything else that you see in video and listed below was purchased my ME. Yup little old me, and many items I already. So yeah that's the deets! Now lets get on with the makeup!<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>So they run about $12 a pop. Which is really good for the amount of product you get, and the little amount that you need will last you a long while. You can even feel free to....dare I say....share the makeup with your friends. The pigment and the shimmer is beyond, usually its one or the other, but both is great.<br />
<br />
So the look that I came up with.....<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So this video has taken be forever to do, and edit, my video editor has been tres touchy!! </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Regardless, this is the step by step process that I go through to get that perfect luminous looking skin, without using any specialized products, except for maybe a little moon glow (by Hard Candy), but I mean a teeny tiny amount of it.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So the video below is <strike>a lot</strike> slightly longer and has tiny reviews throughout, plus a little more of my personality shows through....let me know if you like it like that or the more professional way of the previous ones.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I have been on a eye makeup remover hunt for a while now. I'm not sold on the whole idea, a lot of people think that they need an eye remover, alot of my makeup....well most of my makeup actually, don't require remover, warm water will do it along with my facial cleanser, so really? Why pay for an extra product that you don't need?</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought the</span> <i><b>O</b><b>lay Regenerist Eye Make-Up Remover plus anti-wrinke treatment, </b></i>which states it "is a <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">rich, creamy formula to moisturize the delicate skin around the eye area while it removes make-up."</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7g8OQD2eLsRIX7BZfuAwkeIHJIy-yVOm4MmMIKG_uTg8tCJt8nI6N9BPPzds_bdPCBKl9Toty9LnSGfjPVQA5r8u8L4Nf2dWWnRG2ESD3tou1O_IQ9h-NhyqOmy5CchzUW2E5XBShaY/s1600/41U5HJ7uhGL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7g8OQD2eLsRIX7BZfuAwkeIHJIy-yVOm4MmMIKG_uTg8tCJt8nI6N9BPPzds_bdPCBKl9Toty9LnSGfjPVQA5r8u8L4Nf2dWWnRG2ESD3tou1O_IQ9h-NhyqOmy5CchzUW2E5XBShaY/s320/41U5HJ7uhGL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well this one got me due to the fact of the anti aging properties to it, and it was on SALE! You can't blame me for trying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And try I did, for over 6 months! I just couldn't deal with the stinging in my eyes. I just don't think that an eye makeup remover that is designed for your eyes should sting your eyes when you use it. You get me? </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus the fact that it really only smudged the crap around on my face and didn't actually get it off. The burning sensitization when I opened my eyes with stuff on is a bummer, and to see that my mascara is still there!? Like come on.......please the hype around it was huge, and the payoff was crap. I didn't notice any reduction of my fine line and wrinkles, not that I have an issue but its rich formula was suppose to hydrate the area, and I really found it to be more drying. The formula was a nice consistency but it didn't work, and the sting, I'd rather stick with my warm water and facial cleanser.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this is just my opinion on the issue, avoid it, no matter how on sale it is.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
I have totally been into DIY lately, especially for the home. You know curtains, lampshades (I'm getting there, dets below), shades, blankets, etc. Anything that is basically an accessory to your house. I have one that I wanted to share with you as it took only 30 minutes, and I had everything I need already at home!<br />
<br />
This is one that I had actually done a few months back, and was in my makeup area.<br />
<br />
Now for the details, and some confessions...I love The Habitat ReStore, I know that a lot of bloggers (especially house DIY) talk about donating their unused/unwanted items to habitat, but I actually love to go and buy your unwanted items. But here on PEI I actually don't know of too many DIYers to that extent. A lot of people just don't see beyond the color, or shape of the lamps, and can't see beyond what they have always seen it as, and can't reinvent it in their own home.<br />
<br />
I picked up a white ceramic lamp for $8 at the ReStore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv1Un7fy7K_nqTPOVd36N3cZP8GwsT1FwotKj0CGKFXwC7EG-KAgniiX56uSPDDzP7zLHx7OhRCmdqTgI4pb1BqxZyq5bsfONgdr-fEIfGAVnHnd7-MM6VOUHdaBddMDUTXK-P8EQPV94/s1600/white+lamp+base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv1Un7fy7K_nqTPOVd36N3cZP8GwsT1FwotKj0CGKFXwC7EG-KAgniiX56uSPDDzP7zLHx7OhRCmdqTgI4pb1BqxZyq5bsfONgdr-fEIfGAVnHnd7-MM6VOUHdaBddMDUTXK-P8EQPV94/s320/white+lamp+base.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>But not being in the whole "document the whole process so that you can share it on your blog" phase, I sadly didn't take wonderful pics of the process. So here is my cropped picture of the lamp base. Its just white and boring.<br />
<br />
Next I bought a lampshade at Wal-Mart for like $9, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted.....Its a natural fiber small lampshade, but don't you worry I've fancied it up. :-)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN6KwA6u2Yy5ihRM3YgYH5LvQM7QdUE8Vefg6tFot8RSy9zoAF5K9eJLo1OgluY-SFd-S1JzvFmxE0e8WttKontXCTH7Jguf9IpWffh7c5es_78mVKXm-0im9cDKjwpyt0JlnCj0sVY8k/s1600/IMG_3514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN6KwA6u2Yy5ihRM3YgYH5LvQM7QdUE8Vefg6tFot8RSy9zoAF5K9eJLo1OgluY-SFd-S1JzvFmxE0e8WttKontXCTH7Jguf9IpWffh7c5es_78mVKXm-0im9cDKjwpyt0JlnCj0sVY8k/s320/IMG_3514.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Do you notice the white fluffy under the shade? Yeah that's one of the fancy elements....white marabou fur! Now don't freak out, I've, no my Mom has had this stuff since I was 7 years old, it was on one of my pink skating outfits. I was rockin' it back then. (Besides, I don't even know if its real!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggInPFoY04a2rhxyOHE9Gsbgfi-4dx57AtTKxnHHY6VQSmE3GaidKXWLGGhXrPg7tyzV2BRJtVl9zmeeOqxJoSxm1bniT6tij8qCWW5QKtq5Zo9iKowU_jzMExIwbWTfdcV4k1g1C5iMY/s1600/marabou+fur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggInPFoY04a2rhxyOHE9Gsbgfi-4dx57AtTKxnHHY6VQSmE3GaidKXWLGGhXrPg7tyzV2BRJtVl9zmeeOqxJoSxm1bniT6tij8qCWW5QKtq5Zo9iKowU_jzMExIwbWTfdcV4k1g1C5iMY/s400/marabou+fur.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Because the shade had a natural weave to it, so (gosh, I wish that I had shown you guys better) I took invisible thread and needle and gently weaved it on to the base of the shade. But the top was missing something..... <br />
<br />
So who doesn't love the fur right? But, I wasn't done yet. I had gotten silver mardi gras beads from an event that I had attended. The issue with that is what do you do with them after? You are obviously not going to wear them to work, but you don't necessarily want to get rid of them. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoGGDbxkzKNpeQhIcrGCRTUNCu6LbSDIdDYqIl7uE3bYu8HDsWkXUBytXCfxNAw1rWTtBbFRRMbeqy2uMIb30lGoJszXk_ckCHISN6R1ocdQVVgBNXlmOVtsuJBWVFRH2EP6BZnwzQ1Y/s1600/silver+beads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="30" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoGGDbxkzKNpeQhIcrGCRTUNCu6LbSDIdDYqIl7uE3bYu8HDsWkXUBytXCfxNAw1rWTtBbFRRMbeqy2uMIb30lGoJszXk_ckCHISN6R1ocdQVVgBNXlmOVtsuJBWVFRH2EP6BZnwzQ1Y/s320/silver+beads.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I simply measured them out, and placed them on top of the fur, so that you would get a sliver of sparkle showing through the edges of the fur. And then decided since I had enough to put it around the tip of the shade, and down the back on the seam. I think that they look like buttons, and I love it.<br />
<br />
It's fun, feminine, with a little whimsy. My advice, just take a look at things that you have around that house, and see what you love and how you can reinvent it make a change.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So, I have a really really good excuse that involves a lot of emotional roller coaster ride and a happy happy ending for all involved (for those who matter, anyway :-))<br />
<br />
I have it all planned out on how to tell you guys, but I just need time for it to sink in for me. And if you guys are at all interested in this news. Did I leave you hanging and wanting more!?... hehe hopefully...<br />
<br />
So I was eating my lunch at my desk.......yes I know its totally exciting lifestyle I live at work. But it got me thinking as to what do you have on your desk in the line of beauty products?<br />
<br />

And let me tell you that this random collection of whatever with pens and highlighters are just not doing it for me. I need to invest in some sort of cute bowl, or pencil dish......or something! They roll around and get lost and being slightly Type A...just slightly....I can't deal with it much longer.<br />
<br />
But in case you are wondering what I have I'll give you the run down as to not keep you waiting...hehe<br />

Lip Smacker - Kool-Aid Slammin' Strawberry Kiwi<br />
Lip Smacker - Bubble Gum (the one with the lack of labeling)<br />
Bottom - Sally Hansen Miracle Care Lipsaver- Serenity<br />
Right Top - GenTeal Artificial Tears (Contacts + Computer Screens = dry dry itchy eyes)<br />
<br />
I like them all except for the Nivea Pearly Shine - it does have a nice shimmer pale pink tone, but it's soo drying, it's not moist in the tube and it takes it all from my lips, and it's not good. Why is it still on my desk, because, just in case I need it. Which I won't but you know, just in case.<br />
<br />
The Kool-Aid Slammin' Strawberry Kiwi gives a surprisingly nice natural deep pink color, and its moist! Which is really what you want at work so that your lips have color, and aren't dried out from the central air.<br />
<br />
Sadly the Bubble Gum, has now met is maker, yup, I just had to include it as I've had for the longest time it was a little waxy but it totally sealed in all the moisture on my lips and left a nice sheen on them too! <br />
<br />
Sally Hansen, it the most lipstick like product with it's high impact gloss, and the middle when you squeeze it you get the darker berry tone which is an awesome two in one product!!<br />
<br />
The hand cream, is Beautifully Delicious Handlicious Honey & Almond, my feeling s are ugh, whateva... it's not great, isn't not crap, and it smells nice...which is nice to have in the work place with all the other "smells" that are around the office.<br />
<br />
So all that being said, have you forgot about my happy ending news, that I'm letting sink in? No? Well good thing that I reminded you then :)<br />
<br />
What's on your desk at work, and what do you keep it in?<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So with the weather that we we have been having lately is totally on conducive to my hairstyles. No I'm being 100% serious here. Its damp out, like the air is damp, or its raining, or the humidity level is high. Either way my hair is having a field day!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm sure if you have wavy/curly hair that can go straight or curly you understand my pain. As soon as some dampness comes in the air my hair notices it, and takes advantage of the opportunity to curl in places that....well....I just don't want it to curl!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is my hair curly....</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5fEIL0ZbPkxYYyOOOR7JE31_Tc6SpF14ZxdA2QUKLHPFYOhPaxupH1FbSHgCZ5jhUlOXZwYcTA4boSjYt7Gt8xpGgxciL7gFNGG8df6yqH_-Op3S_LcIhqxgxNF8muuSKJDYCPpYIa0/s1600/Blog+pic5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5fEIL0ZbPkxYYyOOOR7JE31_Tc6SpF14ZxdA2QUKLHPFYOhPaxupH1FbSHgCZ5jhUlOXZwYcTA4boSjYt7Gt8xpGgxciL7gFNGG8df6yqH_-Op3S_LcIhqxgxNF8muuSKJDYCPpYIa0/s320/Blog+pic5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So its easy to show that when it is blown straight it doesn't take too much to get the curls active again</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Regardless, I thought that I would try the John Fredia Frizz-Ease Weather Works Shampoo Conditioner, and styling creme</span>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOCzVFAZM0NBpUhh1RjF3mnGVfQPNnhl1B5bSjmoyc2pCpj2tjkJl9syrNcZlMBEJz7UMb2ViHhi-X0B_OMhAxcCqEYFdXzxvcC57jQLW0HtI5Sa26nDJGvN83VJcpUBykPGvb3P3gh0/s1600/IMG_3995.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOCzVFAZM0NBpUhh1RjF3mnGVfQPNnhl1B5bSjmoyc2pCpj2tjkJl9syrNcZlMBEJz7UMb2ViHhi-X0B_OMhAxcCqEYFdXzxvcC57jQLW0HtI5Sa26nDJGvN83VJcpUBykPGvb3P3gh0/s320/IMG_3995.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The bottle say that...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">"Developed for all hair styles, Weather Works Shampoo with "Shielding" Technology creates a barrier to help block out style-ruining humidity providing essential preparation for weather-resistant hair. Formulated to provide silky-smooth texture and to control frizz year round. Safe for natural or colour-treated hair. For daily use."</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Personally I think that using anything that will 'shield' your hair is basically putting a coating on the hair shafts, so everyday use it likely not the best. But for special events or just special days it could work!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So overall in the shampoo and conditioner they were good, nothing special to say, simple, they smelled good though. The styling creme is really light weight, and doesn't weigh your hair down.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So lets do a little test, I thought. I used all the products on a day that was 90% humidity and when I was near the waterfront, and it was windy. So horrible weather for curly/wavy hair that was blown dry straight, but perfect weather for testing the ability of <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the John Fredia Frizz-Ease Weather Works.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is my hair after styled, I was sitting solo on these photos so please the facial expressions....well lets say I've seen better :-).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUUAOt4lLAoy-fBXp-m6Mjmzh1K7hR6LTCZrah4MFpvIrpzOfUpxTvMda-Vdn7xCSR4tBSbYpJma-TxL4K7afzUTEu2vAE7WEHOkDQ7TppCwvgktWEAXVE-GA_AI3yNc3Sn-FWYSo5To/s1600/Blog+pic5-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUUAOt4lLAoy-fBXp-m6Mjmzh1K7hR6LTCZrah4MFpvIrpzOfUpxTvMda-Vdn7xCSR4tBSbYpJma-TxL4K7afzUTEu2vAE7WEHOkDQ7TppCwvgktWEAXVE-GA_AI3yNc3Sn-FWYSo5To/s320/Blog+pic5-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So by no means was it straight as a pin, because come on, you can't fight with nature 100%. There was some flips on the end of my hair, and curled in and out in other places, but it was not curly (and no I did not curl it, just the blow dryer)!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I was in the outside weather from 5-11pm near the water, high humidity like 92%, and high winds! I don't think that any product, and this is no exception, can make your hair NOT curl, well at lest not an at home product.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So my thought are....well what are my thoughts? I guess that it did an ok job, you judge by the pictures. (keep in mind that the after pics are with my Atrix, not a real real camera..k?) It did keep the frizz level fairly low, but did it stop it from curling?....ummm nope-nutta! So is it worth that extra product taking up space in your valuable bathroom storage. I really don't think so. Any John Fredia no frizz product does the job, so the Anti-humidity just leave it and forget it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjboADXCD9Nn7uAkfPTx5H7efwzY27Yq9_cr48hokByCkYqIHJYYCzpS7Cjp5QpQO7g-k1tzkBVScoQ7g9SZfTiA4A67WkXmpG-kr_2-ylgm7G4ZVoXVA-2k1Tn2S0yNlc0CXQy5Pzf1Wg/s1600/Blog+Pics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjboADXCD9Nn7uAkfPTx5H7efwzY27Yq9_cr48hokByCkYqIHJYYCzpS7Cjp5QpQO7g-k1tzkBVScoQ7g9SZfTiA4A67WkXmpG-kr_2-ylgm7G4ZVoXVA-2k1Tn2S0yNlc0CXQy5Pzf1Wg/s320/Blog+Pics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As a side note, I used the styling creme with my normal hair routine, on an equally curly/wavy hair blown straight day weather nightmare. The results, pretty much the same as when I used it with the shampoo and conditioner, so perhaps the styling creme is a go, but leave the others on the shelf....unfortunately the search continues :-(</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you haven't....Where the heck have you been! No but seriously on with the post.... </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So F-I-N-A-L-L-Y my video decided to work!!! I'm beyond excited and thankful, like how long can it take...regardless its here to share! If you want to see the post on the look click <a href="http://caitlinchic.blogspot.com/2011/07/things-you-can-do-with-inexpensive.html">ME!</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5xVX9ZFBYXPVP-KVWr4F4Xw7Ya86-fmwHaD1YNy1ZhyaKB2TSqznWJLc8COrpMA47B5nO4cl9jlSIQ1ZS2l1D9FEquIi0IpJHQBQGbxzYSuls5VZcL96e-rqhDLc4oZOV_WPdDoY4lk/s1600/IMG_5242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5xVX9ZFBYXPVP-KVWr4F4Xw7Ya86-fmwHaD1YNy1ZhyaKB2TSqznWJLc8COrpMA47B5nO4cl9jlSIQ1ZS2l1D9FEquIi0IpJHQBQGbxzYSuls5VZcL96e-rqhDLc4oZOV_WPdDoY4lk/s320/IMG_5242.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So basically Joe Fresh is sold at Atlantic SuperStore and Loblaws, on the cheap! I believe that the most expensive item is their brushes at like $20ish dollars (i love their foundation brush I've had it for 2 years now, no shedding!). So the eyeshadow is $4ish, and the blush $6ish. Not to bad for the size of the product. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The packaging I just love!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRv3vhbACHYnL5kFcQ8qq0jT-S6DHCRDC5zdIEPQiCUrqHONCYC8pb3jBUIz_9LkM6lrH-OvpA4bQGUpQR5iLA3Ljt7R7hKfuZxUewoHFeg_arh0CaGdbLH0hixtKkmsGaREaOjK1Ucho/s1600/IMG_5248.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRv3vhbACHYnL5kFcQ8qq0jT-S6DHCRDC5zdIEPQiCUrqHONCYC8pb3jBUIz_9LkM6lrH-OvpA4bQGUpQR5iLA3Ljt7R7hKfuZxUewoHFeg_arh0CaGdbLH0hixtKkmsGaREaOjK1Ucho/s320/IMG_5248.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't know why, its just so clean and modern, plus I love that you can see the color without any difficulty at all. The Pink blush I've had for over 1 year and the packaging is NOT made cheap, nothing has broken and is as good as new. I just love the clear packaging, they are sellling the color and the product, not the fancy smancy packaging! The clasps on the products are also very strong and sturdy and it might just be me but I like when you can hear the <i>click</i> of the packaging close, it just makes me feel good...do ya follow!?</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">The color clockwise from top left is....</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Rosetta, Pink, Pebble, Pale Pink, and Ice</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBYoAWn3i2KLm57lCzRCdpE1BZMG4UuMaylAeKmbpZX9ILBGujwwAyQKYgAv2-w16Q_xBe-VHWGZO32vNS2IsNOJmUHjxMqPCNjIbUV4PWRoIXfVqU2lyTQXnnl-LxDkLQpWdYJCfpJw0/s1600/IMG_5253.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBYoAWn3i2KLm57lCzRCdpE1BZMG4UuMaylAeKmbpZX9ILBGujwwAyQKYgAv2-w16Q_xBe-VHWGZO32vNS2IsNOJmUHjxMqPCNjIbUV4PWRoIXfVqU2lyTQXnnl-LxDkLQpWdYJCfpJw0/s320/IMG_5253.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The color intensity is wonderful, the products are a little soft, but still very pigmented, and the lasting power is just as good any other powder blush or eyeshadow I've used. You don't need a whole lot of it on your brush so it will last you a good long time! Likely longer than its really "good" for :-) </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My first attempt at swatching colors! So from my thumb to to my pinky the colors are as follows.....</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Ice, Rosetta, Pink, Pale Pink, Pebble</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1PnwwfHiN6SGJ1S8FoPCoix5Jt1oXy3A_5FSlEgFfmciBsqDr7CP9GImaqycWvrv25PfB9MAWTuKr5rF0T2FsKbge2tpHpnN7GrTpM7P6cEOqnUapOkDmxUWfqhr-sEjFFbpcHkeJA0/s1600/IMG_5255.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1PnwwfHiN6SGJ1S8FoPCoix5Jt1oXy3A_5FSlEgFfmciBsqDr7CP9GImaqycWvrv25PfB9MAWTuKr5rF0T2FsKbge2tpHpnN7GrTpM7P6cEOqnUapOkDmxUWfqhr-sEjFFbpcHkeJA0/s320/IMG_5255.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They are coming off a little more shimmery then they do in person, but the colors are pretty similar! I totally didn't need to rub very hard to get the color on my digits. One swipe around and thats what you see.</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They have a good selection of colors, but be warned they generally issue limited edition colors, so if you see something that you like, get it because they don't last too long, and it might be never there again.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Thought that you guys might enjoy a take on cheap makeup look that you can pickup when you are getting your groceries on!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thank god its the long weekend, I totally need this break! Now only if the weather would cooperate with me, and give me beach weather, all would be perfect! But I'm not sure if that's going to happen....</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway today is <b style="color: #cc0000;">Canada's Birthday </b>and I do plan on checking out the fireworks by the waterfront, a tradition that I can always remember, lots of fun!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="color: #cc0000;">Canada Day</b> is the perfect day to whip out that red lipstick that you may be a little nervous about wearing other wise! By favorite red lipstick is not a wallet buster at all. <span style="color: #e06666;">NYC - Retro Red</span>. Which you might remember from this past look..</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I was checking out the Dollarama the other day, and I'm sorry but the makeup section always gets me. Every freakin' time! It's like its calling to me, <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">"look I'm only $2 please bring me home, Please!"</span>, and of course the last please is in a whiny child voice. And who reallllyyy can say no to that. TMI, sorry but you must understand the pull that the aisle has on me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I managed to get out there only spending a small fortune. The first item that I want to bring to you guys is the Eye makeup remover swabs....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3sP2RZyYTCPajsGNPUczuCC0ovlnhOkNXIY5pWysf9O8YIVzQevsXoPNhSyJXZxVYKryU7dXrogOlpG_oWYSgpZpzgYcowq-9udg5x8-ZXoGJ50LeE-r5ZwwYvY1Tl9CL1EV7FSOawI/s1600/IMG_3943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3sP2RZyYTCPajsGNPUczuCC0ovlnhOkNXIY5pWysf9O8YIVzQevsXoPNhSyJXZxVYKryU7dXrogOlpG_oWYSgpZpzgYcowq-9udg5x8-ZXoGJ50LeE-r5ZwwYvY1Tl9CL1EV7FSOawI/s320/IMG_3943.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As you can see the picture on the box is pretty self explanatory. And for only $2 if it doesn't work, than who cares.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The swabs come in individual wrapped packages....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxihbczqpeKR-J-B9x_NmgphzIQzvVBOcX84XDQzsovZwYBxq4LwGtxaeb0zxohdwnvUtS9cnrCgD_pWs5UhJk40bOr3JzKwdLjbQUj7jmL9AmEflKNIQjnD_RO_4BkGbOOwBKsr1GfCc/s1600/IMG_3944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxihbczqpeKR-J-B9x_NmgphzIQzvVBOcX84XDQzsovZwYBxq4LwGtxaeb0zxohdwnvUtS9cnrCgD_pWs5UhJk40bOr3JzKwdLjbQUj7jmL9AmEflKNIQjnD_RO_4BkGbOOwBKsr1GfCc/s320/IMG_3944.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The individual wrapped is a little annoying, as they are tough to pop out of the plastic, and its a lot of waste of plastic. Regardless....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiG9EvBpjLEhYsKr7GvHrK34hg1rAD5PctIsThEMQczVmji7TFegMpiE_BS79J9lUyUJ8XjKyPeytRjxbm68VnaX-2NbNNK9VTh0fRYEo9lUswnLxOb4zLZaA2WYRz3FUapL4LUnVKkaU/s1600/IMG_3947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiG9EvBpjLEhYsKr7GvHrK34hg1rAD5PctIsThEMQczVmji7TFegMpiE_BS79J9lUyUJ8XjKyPeytRjxbm68VnaX-2NbNNK9VTh0fRYEo9lUswnLxOb4zLZaA2WYRz3FUapL4LUnVKkaU/s320/IMG_3947.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So you pop the cotton swab out of the plastic (after some difficulties) and you have what looks like a normal swab. Expect its not at all. hehe.. The center between the cotton is a hollow plastic tube, this is where the products travels down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The end that has the blue strip on it, be careful with that one until you're ready!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwP5RxVDqLtyWUijK8TFuEJhrMl7ucqrcIPswnLHHtPChSVC1PCv2T6HmpzJWZYI0XCk24vDYyDQJHnvDTewfRIQVgraqn2RI8b7SMO7ZqCJ3pxI8rAfS2VcYAJ3BwarOxinO6SQ4dRI/s1600/IMG_3952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwP5RxVDqLtyWUijK8TFuEJhrMl7ucqrcIPswnLHHtPChSVC1PCv2T6HmpzJWZYI0XCk24vDYyDQJHnvDTewfRIQVgraqn2RI8b7SMO7ZqCJ3pxI8rAfS2VcYAJ3BwarOxinO6SQ4dRI/s320/IMG_3952.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The basic idea is that end that has the blue strip on it you snap it, or bend it over and it releases the makeup remover to the other end of the swab. It requires a little more effort than one would think for a q-tip but bend it like Beckham...or, actually just until it snaps. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjV6kftDx1hmBZ0bBiEUcv-bWOWfT0AntyE5JgL2yvdOZFOcnOGpouzq9Bkmj-EddxMJoQVDs77sIhUIWaIuV_TGve7pIfxDlxk1YzjQtgW6y4S8w-j4oIhC8buDV5DaE5qCJzZbBPLNM/s1600/IMG_3957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjV6kftDx1hmBZ0bBiEUcv-bWOWfT0AntyE5JgL2yvdOZFOcnOGpouzq9Bkmj-EddxMJoQVDs77sIhUIWaIuV_TGve7pIfxDlxk1YzjQtgW6y4S8w-j4oIhC8buDV5DaE5qCJzZbBPLNM/s320/IMG_3957.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Once it snaps that releases the makeup remover product. It flows down to the other white q-tip end. With this end you can remove your eye makeup. But Wait!! do you think you can?????</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According to the box.....</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHDqF6CQNr9pOJZHIRvWOsffKFXeCmeAkTDzIp5doYoyX3jFMlGc8dBdAwuYcI8x5dOrfUfz_U6ieot3V0vlJlfKAaAMkHlpJU3p4lWXrSkotQ94JeQhMaiKLxbW2th3buSOssQhpNX4/s1600/IMG_3964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHDqF6CQNr9pOJZHIRvWOsffKFXeCmeAkTDzIp5doYoyX3jFMlGc8dBdAwuYcI8x5dOrfUfz_U6ieot3V0vlJlfKAaAMkHlpJU3p4lWXrSkotQ94JeQhMaiKLxbW2th3buSOssQhpNX4/s320/IMG_3964.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of you who don't want to squint the words out it states. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Keep out of eyes."</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So yeah, I'm assuming that it means not IN your eye, and hopefully AROUND your eye is ok. Since you know its for eye makeup removing :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You do get a good amount of product in the Q-Tip, it is pretty easy to use. My only issue is that the cotton swab end, isn't very cottony, meaning that it can't absorb the makeup that it takes off very well. It cuts through the makeup really well, but to get that black residue off you need another cotton pad or facecloth to finish the job.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall, if you're in a pinch and travelling and don't want to take a whole bunch of crap with you, spending two bucks on some cotton swab makeup remover all in one, will not only save you space, but cash as well.</span><br />
