Hot Topic Mini Haul!

Brandon and I were at the mall and decided to go in Hot Topic and browse around. I'm really glad we did! Back around Christmas I found some NYX glitter cream palettes for $3 on clearance, so I always check their sale makeup. He found some great stuff for special effects makeup and I found a few little things too! (All of these were on sale, so prices may vary in other stores and online)

Brandon bought: Mehron Barrier Spray (makeup setting spray) $3 Mehron Paradise MakeupAQ Body Paint (use with water) in Black BAB-39 $5 Warpaint Beauty Eyeshadow in Spanked $2

and I bought: Hot Topic Foil Lip Gloss in Batch #F1711?? It's a pale greenish color.. $3 Beauty Treats Color Changing Lipstick in Aloe Vera for $1 Below are some swatches of my lipstick and lipgloss.

$14 mini haul! :) I love the lipstick, it's green but goes on pink and gradually gets darker (for some reason). But my only complaint, is also a benefit in a way. It stays on for a REALLY long time. So I definitely like the long lasting color and that it doesn't smudge off, but it is really hard to get that color off! But anyway, check out your local Hot Topic. You never know what makeup you might find! :)

Weight/Diet Update!!

The Visalus shakes are still delicious. I'm actually shocked I have been sticking to it so well. Now if only I could stick to my exercise as well. I have lost 9lbs, and lost 2" around my waist! YAY!!!!!

I got bored with the eliptical and with walks and jogs in our neighborhood so... I'm starting Jillian Michael's Extreme Shred & Shed DVD. We'll see how that goes. I've never used any of her workout DVD's before and my first attempt at it I only made it 15 minutes in. It's a 45 min workout. Kind of a fail, but that sh!t is hard!!!

I find that it's harder to stick with a workout that bores your or that you just absolutely hate so I'm hoping this doesn't become one of those workouts. We'll see. I'm working my way up to finishing the entire 45 minutes and then I will tackle the second and harder workout on the DVD.

50-60lbs to go by December!

Product Reviews: JWOWW Lotions

So, this is about tanning lotions. Yes, I tan indoors and outdoors. Yes I know the risks, blah blah. I'm sure you're all aware of Jersey Shore, whether you watch the show or not, the cast is almost always in gossip magazines and on TV and it's a HIGHLY popular reality show on MTV. Well, Jenny "JWOWW" put out some tanning lotions and they are flying off the shelves. I actually bought the lotion before I'd even watched the show. Last summer, I bought the JWOWW Blackk Bronzer lotion (there's also a JWOWW Gold). It worked sooooo well. I definitely saw results, and got very, VERY dark. I bought it because it was on sale (most everything I buy is on sale!) and I also got $10 off the sale price (awesome!). I believe it retails at about $50, but mine was on sale for $35 and then I got the ten off that. It smells okay, definitely has that tanning lotion smell.. but I don't really mind tanning smells. After one week using it (going about 4 or 5 times to tan), I saw really dark results. It lasted me for that entire summer and I still have some left for this summer. I would, and probably will, purchase again!

A couple of days ago, I bought the JWOWW Shimmering Body Lotion. It's an after-tan and after-shower lotion. It's about $15-20 (depending on where you go) but since I bought mine at my salon and had my "Ultracash", I got $10 off, so it was really cheap! It says "Pearadise Breeze" is the scent, and OMG... it is probably one of the best things I have ever smelled. I love it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It gives you a shimmer to your skin, not a chunky glitter look, but kind of the same shimmer that you find in a body powder or bronzer powder. I will MOST DEFINITELY buy this again and have become obsessed with trying all of her lotions!
