City Chick Online

(Angela Simmons rocking my current favorite look)

I know that I'm a little late on this trend...but I'm not one for trends honestly. I just like what I like...when I like it. Lately I've been seriously obsessing over this look. I love how you can just add a bit of edge to any feminine dress or outfit by just pairing a pair of simple black combat boots with it. So for the last couple of days, I've been searching in a few local stores and on the internet and here are a few that I really like. I think that I will be purchasing one in the next day or so. I know that I will be wearing these alot in the spring...so exciting :-D

Boots by Volatile
Boots by Forever 21

So last week, I went on www.eyeslipsface.com to buy one face brush..but instead I got all of these lol. I really do think that I have a shopping problem but for these prices, who could blame me? My entire order, with shipping, only came up to $31.45 for EVERYTHING!!!!! Here is what I got:

1 Smudge Eye Sponge Brush $1.00
1 Lip Defining Brush $1.00
1 Total Face Brush $1.00
1 Slant Tweezer $1.00
1 Super Glossy Lip Shine w/SPF 15 in Angel $1.00
1 Eyeliner Brush $1.00
2 Natural Lash Kit-Black $1.00 each
2 Dramatic Lash Kit-Black $1.00 each
1 Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight $1.00
1 Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black $1.00
1 Dramatic Lash Kit-Brown $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Iconic Ivory $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Precious Pink $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Gunmetal $1.00

1 Limited Edition Essentials Dramatic Length False Eyelashes in Purple $3.00
1 Limited Edition Essentials Dramatic Length False Eyelashes in Neon Pink $3.00
1 Essentials Day To Night Collection $5.00

So far I've used about half of these items and I absolutely love them! From the shimmer pencils, to the eye primer and brushes..everything is a hit with me. I can't believe that makeup and tools this cheap are actually this good. I highly recommend ELF and will be purchasing from them again very soon.

Oh and on top of getting $7.50 off my order because of a special that they were running that day, I also received this as a free gift:

The Essentials Brightening Eye Color in Butternut valued at $1.00. Fast shipping and a little free gift always makes me happy :-)

I was in Trader Joe's last week doing my weekly grocery shopping when I realized that I was almost out of toothpaste. Now, I'm a CVS junkie..I buy all my little essentials from there but because I was so tired and didn't feel like making an additional stop, I decided to pick one up from TJ. What a Mistake!!! This toothpaste is just horrible. First off, the texture is so hard that it falls right off of the toothbrush. After you brush, it also leaves this weird after taste in your mouth. I didn't feel "minty" fresh and throughout the day I was feening to brush my teeth again. My boyfriend tried it also and he HATED it. On my way home from my store that day, I stopped at CVS, grabbed my usual Colgate and proceeded to throw TJ's peppermint toothpaste in the garbage..right where it belonged. I do not recommend this toothpaste at all.

Me on my way to throw this toothpaste out, smh

Last friday was one of my bff's Christine's bday (happy 23rd mama!!!) and we decided to go bowling and then to the club saturday night. Ok, so we didn't make it to the club because we didn't realize that the club that we wanted to go to in the city was shut down (damn it Pink Elephant...could have sent a girl a memo) but we did end up going bowling at 300 in Melville (http://www.threehundred.com/long_island.html) with a group of people and had a really fun time.

Chris is so extra..there were no candles LOL

Me bowling...looking like I knew what the hell I was doing LOL

Obviously from my score I didn't hahaha...but honestly we all sucked lol..good times tho!
