Back in Action!

Hello there gals...

Today's episode:

Two hauls from Beautycrunch.com !

My updated skincare regimen !

Open forum for do's and dont's for winter skin !

Bargains !!!

Things that I am liking in general...

Work has been crazy you guys. I am still trying to get adjusted to the schedule, although I should not be complaining. With the situation being what it is nowadays, I'm fortunate to have what I do. Most of the past month and a half has been me and my BF just trying to live to see another day, and make the most out of what we have. But enough of me and this sob story, let's get on with it...

So, I did two hauls from Beautycrunch.com. The first haul was small, I got the best of Stila set, which had about 7 products in it, and Too Faced Fantastic Plastic Set. This ended up being, with shipping, about $40!!! It was too sweet of a deal to ignore.
The second order ended up being around $80, but that ended up being the Gift of Glow set, Stila's Return to Learn Mini brush set, Blue Orchid night flower palette (which is gorgeous and chock full of awesome product), The Runway Look (a three pan elegant palette, which also came with a mini Stila Kajal), and the Fabulous for Fall Set ( an eye and check palette, with mascara and a lip glaze). Yeah, I really have to get on taking pictures so you guys can see*!*!
I have to say, it took me a while to get into Stila, but I'm pretty sold on it now.

I shall stop that last tirade since I have no pics up for you yet. Moving on...
I have been extremely happy with my line of Exuviance skincare. Exuviance is made by NeoStrata, the same people that brought us Dermablend. This skincare line was designed for sensitive skin, but it is extremely effective on all types. I have combination skin, and I find that these products not only work for my skin, but I have friends who have oily or normal skin and they work equally as well.
I will devote an entire post to the products I use.

Gals, what are your do's and dont's for winter skin? I am very prone to getting dry patches, flaky lips, and the skin on my body is like sandpaper unless I scrub and moisturize daily...what are your tricks for staying soft and supple in the winter?

*BARGAIN TIME*

Most of the Exuviance line I was lucky enough to pick up at TJ Maxxx and Marshall's. For dirt cheap, as well, I should mention.
You can find Too Faced, Stila, DuWop, Pop Beauty and Lola products at beautycrunch.com.
Another site to check would be Hautelook.com which has massive sales on certain couture brands, as well as makeup! Sign up for their email so you can get up to date info on all of their sales.

Things Im digging right now -
PANDORA.COM - really awesome streaming online radio. Customize to your own taste!
Lynda Barry - Author of Cruddy, and Ernie Pook's Comeek Strip, and What it is - Drawn and Quarterly, best fucking author in the world***
beautycrunch.com - duh!
doedeereblogazine.com - wonderful site by the equally wonderful Zenia!

Thanks again for tuning in.

Im back!

Wow, I have been away from some time.
I have been through quite a bit...got a new job, have gotten more adjusted to living in my new apartment, my bf's getting used to his work schedule, and my two kitties have been driving me crazy.

Recently, I have been trying a whole new lot of stuff. Recently hauled from BeautyCrunch, and am about to haul from them again this week since it is my birthday, and Im down with getting my own b-day prezzies!

Have picked up a bunch of different skin care as well. Am looking forward to doing FOTD/EOTD to put on here.

From now on, I will devote this blog to my friend, MoxieVik...miss you, this is all for you.
