First off would like to mention,

xshellsxfabxfinds in this blog.After watching her video's i was not hesitant to shop at
the dollar stores for makeup.Here is a nice haul video from her about dollar store things...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1gc1Xkr0o
Finally some of my very own pictures, this is a collective Dollar Store haul.
Over a couple visits, but still the same found some AMAZING goodies.
first off are these covergirl eyeshadows.
got them in a two pack.
One's in subtle sage, the other is opal dust.
NOW I KNOW WHY.
totally disappointed.
Was going to use as highlight, but they are bad.
i couldn't even get a decent swatch.
glad it was only $1
next is this LA Color Eyeshadow.
This is in Hipnotic.
totally loving this one!
has a highlight and some wonderful blue colors.
heres the swatches.
Only $1


next are these maybelline Dream Mousse's.
One Bronzer,
one shadow i will be using as a base.
The bronzer is in sun glow,
& the shadow is in lilac cloud!
Very good products,
blend out smooth and nice color.

Next is this LA Colors Mineral


eyeshadow
in Gold.
Very good color, highly pigmented.
I think this will be my go to gold shadow.




I got two LA Colors Shadow palettes.
One in Urban [1st shown]
& Trendy [2nd shown]
They have really good pigmentation for being $1.
I really love the color combos!
You can get many looks from these palettes.
I highly urge you all to check them out.

Will swatch any if you request them!!!
Hope you loved my photos ladies.
I finally got my mic,
so videos are on the horizon!!!!


Will be doing an elf haul/swatches/review for the first video!
Got my package today,
so look out for that!
Here's a sneak peak!

Just the Beginning...

I would like to first introduce myself.
My Name is Abby.
I'm 23 years old,
have a wonderful 3 year old daughter named Mackenzie [Kenzie for short],
an AMAZING SUPPORTIVE boyfriend Brian.
I am about family first.
I am currently a stay at home mom,
I've been going through some rough times.
I always think to myself,
"& this too shall pass"
I believe that fully each and everyday.
My main reason for starting this blog is to share my passion & love of makeup.
Fashion as well, but mostly a starting makeup love.
I am very inspired by the 'YouTube Divas & Gurus'.
Those women are the ones that have driven the passion,
& helped me learn.

Gave so much information & insight.
I would really enjoy to have a following.
It may take lots of time & lots of work,
but I'm ready & willing.
I will share with you my starting collection.
The tools i love, the products i love to use,
& tutorials and looks as well!
I am not a wealthy person.
So i am doing makeup on a budget.
Striving to find the best products for the BEST prices.
So if you are like me... drooling over the thought of a 'mac' purchase,
then please stick with me...
I am going through a learning time.
New things to discover.
I'm working on getting some videos going soon & adding them to YouTube...
but i will just start with some photos.
Maybe some slide shows on youtube,
but i will show you some hauls here soon once i finish piecing the photos together.
its a long process when i can't do videos right now.
Thank you for checking me out,
and i will post SOMETHING everyday,
whether its a video i LOVE, a look i LOVE, a product i LOVE....
you will always have something to check on with me!!!!
So Please enjoy aFEWofMYfavoriteTHINGS!!!!

xxoo

much love 2 all
