Saturday-After-Black-Friday HUGE AZZ Haul and Long Azz Post

On the Saturday after Black Friday, the Navy Exchange (NEX) has this MAJOR sale where all the drugstore cosmetic brands are 50% off! I decided to let myself go semi-nuts because: 1) the NEX is already cheaper than the outside stores and 2) it's HALF OFF!

A week before the sale, I did about 5 hours of research. I found out which brands were in the sale, went to each of their websites, pored over ALL the products, picked which ones I needed/wanted, googled for reviews on blogs and Makeup Alley to find out whether they were worth buying, and listed everything that had good feedback. Yup, I take this ish sinceriously.

I didn't realize I had about $200 worth of stuff until I got to the register and had to give up most of my bronzers, blushes, and nail polishes :( I got about $160 worth of shizz but ended up returning $30 worth of stuff, only to buy 1 primer, 2 blushes, 1 bronzer and 1 nail polish later lol.

Best part: Getting the expensive stuff like the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Pen and those damned Physician Formula products for SUPER cheap. And I got like. . . choke bobby pins cuh.
Worst part: There was NO more L'oreal Perfecting Base Face Primer when I got there! And giving up my Maybelline Dream Mousse blushes, nude nail polishes, and contouring powders :( :( :(

BUT I'M STILL HAPPY :)





'Splain My Life Pt.1 : There was a separate sale for Conair curling irons. 1", 1+1/2" and 1+1/4" irons were only $5 ea. and I already have a 1" so I skipped 1+1/2" and went for the 1+1/4" fallah. I would've gotten more makeup removers, but I usually use lotion and I don't wear foundation so I figga no need!









'Splain My Life Pt. 2: The lipstick names are actually bottom to top lol. SORRY BOUT DAT! I also got a Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Spice (270) and the Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Champagne. Most of the stuff I returned were lipsticks lol.









'Splain My Life Pt.3: K I fail! Lol the bottom polish is called Cafe Au Lait, NOT Chai Latte! I can't even go on about how sad I was I had to put back some of the nail polishes I had! HONORABLE MENTIONS: Sally Hansen polishes in Commander In Chic (brownish-taupe), Uptempo Plum (BEAUTIFUL dark purple with gold glitter) and Kook-A-Mango (orangey-coral). I ended up only getting these 3 and a Sally Hansen polish called Expresso, a total dupe for OPI's Barefoot in Barcelona.









And so ends the onslaught of pictures. . . .'til next time Saturday-After-Black-Friday sales. . . .SHOOOOOOOOTZ!

Good Things Come To Those Who Shop At Goodwill

Went to Goodwill with sista and mum and BOY did I score. I found this shirt in a gorgeous cyan/turqouise color and a pretty woven belt. Then when we went to go checkout, I spotted two standout watches. I rated them both at about a 9 on the LoPGAtK scale. (Level of Product Gorgeousness According to Kiki) They were both the only watches working perfectly and both were in excellent condition. I came home and did some research and turns out they both sell online at Target! But it's whatevs, cuz for the regular price of that gold watch alone, I got TWO! I've been looking for an oversized gold watch since I saw the Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs ones on Tumblr. . . . . so I'm frackin happy as right now.

They Were $6.99 For A Reason!

I love these boots!! The only thing is there is a really tiny heel that makes noise when I walk. Now that's totally fine except for the fact that I make noise on every single surface I walk on except for grass! So I'm probably gonna put a layer of glue right under the heel to soften it up so it doesn't click-clack anymore. Also, if you got these boots from Charlotte Russe, you'll notice that they're missing a strap which elevates it's cuteness level 10 stories! ALSO, if you look at the picture closely, you'll notice the clasp is actually a safety pin. Haha that's $6.99 for you, but I still love them!



I just wore an AE pinstriped sundress, steel gray skinny belt, a white cardi and finally, a flamingo pink letterman type jacket.
