Oops...I did it again

I broke the bank again people. I will post some pics of all my purchases a little later. What is it with me?

Ok, so last weekend a friend and I took a MAC makeup class at Macy's. The class is free, you just have to purchase a Macy's gift card of $50 to reserve your seat. You can spend it on MAC makeup after the class or on whatever in Macy's. Of course I spent it (and then some on MAC). The class was really interesting and I learned a lot! I ended up buying MAC's Studio Moisture Fix Lotion, Skin Base Visage Prep and Prime, Studio Finish Concealer (NC45), Blot Powder Press (dark), and the Lip Conditioner hydrant. I love all of these items except the concealer. It's the right shade but I just think it's going to take some practice to get the application just right. Ok, that was all purchased last Saturday.

Since the class I have become totally obsessed with makeup. So I was at home playing in my makeup like a school girl and thought to myself...I bet I could find a "how-to" video on YouTube. WTH! There's a whole community of YouTubers that vlog on makeup and fashion. I think I have died and gone to my own personal fashion forward heaven! Where have you ladies been all my life? These girls have taught me in the last week about all brands of makeup, how to apply it, and heck...they even knew what shades to buy in drugstore makeup based on your MAC foundation colors.

This is getting lengthy. I'll try to speed this up. So by Tuesday I had ordered some brushes and eyeshadows from E.L.F. On Wednesday, I went bargain hunting at Big Lots and Dollar Tree and found some stuff like eyeliner and brushes. I maybe spent $5 in total for both stores. Friday I bought the Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge from Target. Today, I went back to the MAC counter and purchased the Brush Cleaner and bought Viva Glam VI lipstick (I've been wanting it). I bought from Rite-Aid the Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Caramel, Suave Professional Vibrant Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, Maybelline Lash Stylish in Very Black (75% off BTW), and Queen Helene Sculpting and Styling Gel. Whew.... I feel like I just confessed the dirtiest and biggest secret and should take some things back. I'm so ashamed. Hella cute...but ashamed. I'll post pics a little later.

If you guys haven't seen Dulce Candy's blog or YouTube videos.. you're missing out. Her style is FIERCE! Makeup and fashion! She's going to be huge, so look out for her. She's funny and has hella personality and flavor! Her videos and blog are kinda what got me off my butt to do mine. I always wanted to but never really knew where to start. Big ups to her!

Styles I love....




I so adore Michelle Obama's style! This top by Basso & Brooke is too cute. Have we ever seen the White House this stylish?

Everything was put together nicely...the outfit, makeup , and hair! Two thumbs up! Mr. President ain't looking too bad, either!

I found a website that is all about Michelle and her style. Check out http://Mrs-O.org. I like this site!

Blah, blah, blah.... a little bit about me. Try not to fall asleep!

This is my first post! Yea me! A quick 101 of me. A Mississippi native that now resides in TN. Big difference, right? I work in the accounting field but I am also in the beginning stages of starting my own event and wedding planning business. I have my master's degree in Accounting and I am studying to obtain my CPA. I know, I am burning the candle at both ends!

I have been wanting to blog for so long and now I finally am! Yea! So my posts will be about everything that inspires me. So if you are looking for specifics on this blog... good luck with that. LOL!

I am so inspired by so many things: music, fashion, dance, artistry, and just all things crafty. I am just one of those people. The person that enjoys and wants to do too much and, God willing, I will do all of those things eventually.

So... I hope you guys enjoy my blog and will stop through often. I am a busy girl so I can't promise a daily post but I will try to post something weekly. Feel free to ask me anything and I'll try to respond.
