Dollar Store Spoils

I took a trip to my local dollar store today, this one in particular is my favorite, its kinda more like a surplus store type deal rather than a cheap toy place. 

 Overly large lacy Hair bow. Love.

New eye shadow pallets

Fun new nail polish colors

Those sunglasses that clip on glasses

My last pair got lost.. and I spent ten bucks on them. these are the exact same ones.. a dollar. happy girl

and..a fanny pack. Hey now. They are very functional don't mock. I have been wishing for one for my walks etc.

Yay for Thrifty new stuff!

Nails!

My poor nails have been rather uncute as of late, so it was past time for a manicure. I used the technique where you paint a plastic bag and then peel the dried polish off. I don't love how it turned out. the colors don't really sing for me, but the technique is AMAZING, which is what I wanted to try. my nails will definitely be getting lots of love. It is super easy and almost eliminates my least favorite part of manicures. dry time! I can never be patient enough to not mess it up. go here for a detailed tutorial. so cute.

Childhood Dreams.

You know. I have always wanted stop sign red hair. Based off this lady:

I may have been a little obsessed. I still am. Really truly. That hair is superb.
Anyways. Now that I am a big girl I have the opportunity to do an Ariel.
Red goes the hair.

This face is extremely awkward. Excuse it.

Yay for childhood dreams coming true. If only I can figure out a way to pause time, become a mermaid and ice skate, then my childhood will be complete.

One of those days...

sometimes, Lipstick days and T-shirts days coincide

Today?... was one of those days

carry on.

Nifty Little Things: Eye Drops

This little bottle is probably my favorite item I have in my make up bag. 

It has an absolute plethora of uses, Ok. maybe more like two, but they are really big Change your life type uses. so listen up!

First off. you know it takes the redness out of your eyes, but did you know it does the same magic on your face? True Story! put a drop on your finger and dab it on your blemishes and as it dries it sucks the red right out! amazing. It only lasts a few hours, but I just throw it in my purse and we are good to go! It feels so much better than caking on concealer.

Secondly, this stuff will re hydrate your liquid and gel makeup products. It makes my mascarra last so much longer. when it starts to get dried out just put about three drops into the tube. for a "starving college student" this is a blessing for sure. It also saved my favorite pot of gel liner that I accidentally left the lid off for several days. It was so shriveled and hard! I covered it in Visine and we had a joyous reunion.
